October Round-Off

Yeesh I totally don't know where this month went!! One minute it's my birthday next thing I know it's Halloween and I'm staring Nanowrimo in the face!
I haven't had a particularly outstanding month blog-wise, I've not got anywhere as many reviews done as I'd like (What the hell am I talking about I did four at the start of the month!), my follower numbers have only crept up a little, and I've neglected a couple of the memes that I used to do.
But on the bright side last week I launched a new cover feature jointly with Jess of Jess hearts books which we think is quirkily awesome.

Features this Month
Although I plum near forgot, I did my Favourites Fortnight (which dissolved into a Favs Se'night) right at the start of the month. The posts done for that were as follows:

Guest Post from Jess Hearts Books on Harry Potter!...

Also in the last week or so I have done several posts for the lead-up to the start of NaNoWriMo

The Road to NanoWriMo - Part 2
You Know You're Doing Nanowrimo When...


And Finally the new feature launched by Jess and I - inventively titled Covers So Lovely We'd Lick Them!
New Feature Launching Next Week!!
Covers So Lovely We'd Lick Them #1!!


As always there's been the usual IMM and IMWAYR posts although I've not really done Teaser Tuesdays or Booking through Thursdays at all this month. I did do one hop on Friday but since I'd reached the max number of blogs that I could follow I didn't do much hopping in reality :(


But That has been my October! Not too shabby really although I'm sure next month's round-off post is gonna be weird-looking with near daily Nano update posts and basically nothing else :P


Happy Halloween All!
