Literature: October Books

Instead of writing individual reviews for all the books I have read, I am just going to condense them into what I have read each month.

So let’s start with October. In the month of October 2018, I have read 13 books – I was away on holiday for a week so had time to read and relax. These books vary across genres including:
  • Short Stories
  • Christian
  • Crime Fiction
  • Children’s Literature
  • Teen Fiction
  • And Scandinavian Literature

So the 13 books I read in October 2018 were:

  1. Flawed by Cecilia Ahern
  2. The Cross: Steve Cavanagh
  3. The Christmas Scorpion by Lee Child
  4. The Marvellous Misadventures of Ingrid Winter by J.S Drangsholt
  5. I can’t but Jesus  Can by Adam Hogue
  6. The Return by J John
  7. Gun Street Girl by Adrian McKinty
  8. Rain Dogs by Adrian McKinty
  9. Police at the Station and they don’t Look Friendly by Adrian McKinty
  10. Manhunt by James Patterson
  11. The Ultimate Collection by Beatrix Potter
  12. Dark Skies by L.J Ross
  13. Seven Bridges by L.J Ross

So what genre fits what book? Well two of them come under two genres – both short stories and crime and these are The Christmas Scorpion by Lee Child (which is part of the Jack Reacher series) and Manhunt by James Patterson (part of the Detective Michael Bennett series).

Under the genre of Crime Fiction, I read three Adrian McKinty books – that is me now finished the Sean Duffy series – well that is until Adrian McKinty writes some more – here is hoping. And I also continued on the DCI Ryan series by L.J Ross (Books 7&8) and am looking forward to reading the others in the series. 

Out of all these books there was only one I struggled to read and that was “The Marvellous Misadventures of Ingrid Winter” by J.S Drangsholt – it was very weird, all over the place and did not really seem to have a plot which made it hard for me to keep interest when reading it.  So out of all the books, I have read in October that is one I would not recommend.

Now let’s roll to November and see what literary gems that month brings.
