What I’m Looking Forward to Reading (Hopefully) in October
Hey all, Sam here.
Wow. Honestly I can’t believe that we’re already here to talk about October releases already. This year has absolutely been flying by, but there are times where it legitimately feels like everything has been crawling by at the slowest pace possible…and I truly think that is because so much absolute insanity has been happening. It’s like how could so much have happened and it’s only September?
Anyway, I don’t even know if I’m going to make it through all of the books that I have on my TBR. I haven’t done as well at keeping up with my September TBR as I would have hoped, plus I released my Spooky Season TBR, as well as my TBR of books I’d still like to read before the end of 2025. But then I look at my October releases (and everything on this list today is a book I was approved for on NetGalley), and I realize how little time I have to read everything I want to read.
There’s just a lot of really incredible sounding books that have come out this year (and last year) or are coming out later this year (and next year). When I throw in my two TTRPG campaigns, my desire to write my own books, plus work and spending time with my partner, it gets pretty difficult for me to properly manage my time to try and accomplish ALL OF THE THINGS.
Anyway, let’s talk about these incredible October releases that I am hoping to read and review very soon.
Savage Blooms by S.T. Gibson (Oct 7), A Mouthful of Dust by Nghi Vo (Oct 7), Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife by Deston J Munden (Oct 14), The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong (Oct 14)
The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri (Oct 21), How to Write Romantasy by Jenna Moreci (Oct 21), A Fae in Finance by Juliet Brooks (Oct 21), Slayers of Old by Jim C Hines (Oct 21)
The Lost Reliquary by Lyndsay Ely (Oct 21), To Bargain With Mortals by R.A. Basu (Oct 28), Blood for the Undying Throne by Sung-il Kim (Oct 28), Cry, Voidbringer by Elaine Ho (Oct 28)
There you have it…even more books to add to my reading list and my library. Speaking of, I definitely need to reorganize my books because my bookshelves are close to bursting at the seams again. I don’t want to think about trying to do another book unhaul to clear up space, but I might have to. I don’t really have room for more bookcases in my library, sadly.
Anyway, that is all from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
