Effulgent | Brilliantly radiant

A BOOK WITH A BEAUTIFUL COVER

I haven’t read Furyborn yet, but I actually love this cover so much.

Metanoia | The journey of changing one’s mind, heart, self, or way of life

A CHARACTER WHO GOES THROUGH A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION

Over the course of the ten books in the Addicted series, both Lily and Lo go through huge transformations. They both overcome so much and honestly I’m getting a little emotional just thinking about it.

Sockdolager | Decisive retort; mic drop

A CHARACTER WHO ALWAYS HAS A GOOD COMEBACK

Definitely Mister Kindly in Nevernight!

Sesquipedalian | Containing many syllables; long winded

THE LONGEST BOOK YOU’VE READ

According to my recent Top Ten Tuesday post, the longest book I’ve ever read is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Ephemeral | Lasting for a very short time

THE SHORTEST BOOK YOU’VE READ

Excluding children’s books, novellas, and short stories, the shortest actual book I’ve read is We Should All Be Feminists, which clocks in at 52 pages.

Serenity | The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled

A BOOK THAT MAKES YOU FEEL CALM AND HAPPY

Penny and Sam from Emergency Contact just make me so insanely happy. There are definitely things that happen in this book that make me very much not calm, but overall, it left me feeling calm and happy and warm and fuzzy.

Oblivion | The state of being unaware of what’s happening around you

A NOVEL WITH A COMPLEX PLOT

Peter F. Hamilton’s Void trilogy is pretty complex. It has multiple storylines taking place thousands of years and galaxies apart and it’s really just so good.

Rantipole | To be wild and reckless

A RECKLESS CHARACTER

Hazel from Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating can be pretty reckless, but I feel like she’s reckless in a good way and I love her.

Nefarious | Wicked, villainous, despicable

YOUR FAVOURITE VILLAIN

You probably already knew that the answer to this question would be Victor Vale from Vicious.

Ineffable | Too great to be expressed in words

YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK OR BOOK SERIES

Trouvaille | Something lovely discovered by chance

A BOOK YOU DIDN’T EXPECT TO LOVE

Literary fiction doesn’t usually do it for me, but I loved Little Fires Everywhere.

Nostalgia | A wistful desire to return in thought to a former time in one’s life

A BOOK OR CHARACTER THAT MAKES YOU FEEL NOSTALGIC

I have read this book so many times over the years and it always takes me right back to being like ten years old and laying on my grandma’s couch and reading after school.

Page Count: October 2018

October was a little bit of a crazy month for me. Maybe someday I’ll overshare on my blog about all of my recent life changes, but for now, I’ll just say that it was probably the most dramatic month of my life. As a result, I felt like I really didn’t accomplish that much reading. For the first time in years, I’m scheduling posts a couple days out instead of months in advance!

But one of the things I love about the page count is that it really puts things in perspective. So while I might not have felt like I read that much, I see that October was actually pretty average for me.
