2022: October Wrap-up

In the world of the gods of Takamagahara, October is the month of Kannazuki. During the "Month Without No Gods" eight million Shinto deities leave their mountains, rivers and shrines to join a congregation in the land of Izumo to discuss next year's matchmaking. All except Ebisu, or as he was initially called, Hiruko, the leech child, first born of Izanami and Izanagi, because he's deaf and doesn't hear the summon.When there are no gods to protect the land, the demons roam free, and for years, there was only Hiruko remaining to protect the humans from evil.On the other side of the globe, there's Halloween. Here is my wrap-up for October for TBRs, writing goals and bookish shopping.
