A very decent count of 7 books this October! Two were for school, but I'm going to count them anyway because they took me ages. Oroonoko - Aphra BehnSYNOPSIS: A prince is sold into slavery. Rating: 3/5 I actually enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. This was for school, so no review for this one. One of Us Is Lying - Karen M. McManusSYNOPSIS: Five kids enter detention. Only four come out alive. Rating: 4/5 This was such a good and tricky book! Link to full review here! Vanishing Girls - Lauren OliverSYNOPSIS: When Nick's sister goes missing she thinks it's a dumb joke at first. But another girl is missing too.. Rating: 3/5 I was super excited for this book, but it was a bit of a letdown. It was still really good, but it just wasn't as thrilling as I expected. Full review here! A History of the English Language - Baugh and CableSYNOPSIS: A history of the English Language. Pretty much. Rating: 2/5 My god, this was so boring. I struggled through this one, I made it, and I'm never touching this book again. Fairly informative though. The Drowning (#1) - Rachel WardSYNOPSIS: A boy wakes up next to a lake, just as his brother is being zipped away in a body bag. Rating: 3/5 This was alright. The story was thrilling, but the characters just didn't do anything for me. Full review here! Check-Out - Juultje van den NieuwenhofSYNOPSIS: During a school trip to Berlin, a group of friends is put into a group chat supposedly created by a friend who committed suicide over the Summer. Rating: 4/5 Unfortunately I won't be reviewing this one as it's only in Dutch, but this was SO GOOD! If you speak Dutch, seriously check this book out!! It's short and scary and I read it all in one sitting. Mice - Gordon ReeceSYNOPSIS: Shelley and her mother have to start standing up for themselves when someone breaks into their house. From that moment onwards, everything spirals out of control. Rating: 4/5 YES!! This one had my throat closing up with how scary it was! Full review here! That's all the books I read for October Spooky Month! What did you read this month? Let me know!
