It's time for round 8 of Rotating Decks, my TBR Game where I have UNO cards help me pick prompts to build my monthly TBR. November looks like it will be a heavier reading month for me again as I also let you know what I will be reading for my book and manga clubs, New Worlds November, and Believathon. I also let you know how I did on my prompts from October. Links after the break.

My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix My rating: 3 of 5 stars I probably should not have read this one as my first by this author. I should've known better and just skipped it actually because exorcism is a religious practice and religion is not something I enjoy reading about. The beginning started out great, the ending section was good, but it was the middle section that I just didn't enjoy. I am still looking forward to exploring more of this author's work, but this one was just okay for me. View all my reviews

Hell House by Richard Matheson My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book started out so promising, but it ended up being a bit disappointing for me. It just got overly sexual, not explicitly but there were several sexual situations. While I understand why it went in that direction, it is not something I enjoyed especially being from the male perspective. In the end, this one just didn't hit the mark for me. View all my reviews

It's Manga Monday! Today I'm sharing my first impressions of Servamp and Toilet Bound Hanako-kun. These were the October selections for my in real life manga club. I thought I'd have a dedicated video to these selections in case anyone wanted to read and talk about the selections with me here. I also announce the November selections in case you want to read those to talk with me about them. Let me know your thoughts on these volumes in the comments below, but please no spoilers past volume 1 ^-^ Monochrome Manga Club Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfuuOvnlQp8&list=PLOT_4zg8R3C-65UVlvtGAhbNJAgMCG6mV

Paradise Club by Tim Meyer My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this one, but once we find out the reason for the bloodbath, things went downhill for me. That kind of made things weird and definitely wasn't what I expected. Up until that point though, this read was exactly what I expected. I've already got two other books by this author on my to read list, so I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. This one just turned out to be not what I expected in the end.

Today I'm sharing my thoughts with you on all the manga I read for the Haunted 24 hour Manga Readathon, which happened October 15-18. I didn't make 24 hours of reading during that weekend, but I did read 24 volumes of manga! Links after the break.

   My thoughts on the first book in the Pumpkin Hollow Mystery Series by Kathleen Suzette. The first book in this series was Candy Coated Murder, and it was the #Book1CoziesClub selection for October. I also announce the November selection in this one.
