Monthly Review | October 2014

My busy work and wedding planning schedule really put a dent in the blog this last month. I didn’t do nearly as much as I would have liked. We are less than 6 months away from the wedding and now it’s all about getting the little things done…and little things add up.

Even though it was pretty busy in my personal life, I think I accomplished a lot on Stories Unfolded this month. Again, not as much as I would have hoped. I still have some catching up to do on book reviews.

Here’s my October in review:

Books Read:

Very short list of books I read this month. I usually like to read at least 5 per month, but I’m happy with the books I did get to read.

To get in the Halloween spirit, I participated in Paris Baker’s Spooky Reads Week. I picked Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn to read during that week. Still working on this book and a review will follow soon. After I’m done reading it, I’m going to see the movie with a friend.
