October was almost as productive as\u00a0September<\/a>. I read nine books!\u00a0
\nThere are two lists below. The first list contains the books I really liked and recommend to read. The second one contains the rest of the books.<\/p>\n

The books I really liked<\/h3>\n

1. Melmoth<\/em><\/a> by Sarah Perry<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

Melmoth<\/em> is a huge discovery for me. It\u2019s a gothic story with an element of fantasy that serves to illustrate the nature of human beings. I\u2019m totally in love with Melmoth<\/em>; with its style and its story. Read my\u00a0review of Melmoth<\/em><\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

2. The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock<\/em><\/a> by Imogen Hermes Gowar<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

An absolutely gorgeous book with an intricate story about people\u2019s lives in the 18th century London. I haven\u2019t read anything so beautiful in years and there probably\u00a0will be years till I read something that beautiful again. If you want more information, you can find it in my review of The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. You Were Made For This<\/em><\/a> by Michelle Sacks<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

You Were Made For This<\/em> is an intense psychological thriller about people who are not what you initially think they are. I loved how perfectly the characters were being unveiled. I loved the controversial ending that I felt was natural for these characters. You can read more in my review of You Were Made For This<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo<\/a><\/em> by Taylor Jenkins Reid<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

If you want to get lost in a book, get a copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo<\/em>. Despite the several flaws that I noticed in the book, I generally liked it very much. It was so much fun to be reading a book without getting bored for a single minute. Here\u2019s my\u00a0review of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. The Last<\/em> by Hanna Jameson<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

The Last<\/em> is an apocalyptic story about a small group of people who are trying to survive in the wake of a nuclear war. The Last<\/em> hasn\u2019t been published yet, but if you are building your reading list, I would definitely recommend adding The Last<\/em> to that list. My review of the book will appear on the blog later.<\/p>\n

Other books I read in October<\/h3>\n

\n1. The Salt of the Earth<\/em> by Jozef Wittlin<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

The Salt of the Earth<\/em> could be a very interesting historical novel about ordinary people during the WWI. Unfortunately, because of its writing style, it\u2019s very hard to read. It\u2019s also a first book in a trilogy that never got finished so it also leaves its mark on the whole perception of the book. It was published before, and will be republished in February 2019. My review of The Salt of the Earth<\/em> will also appear later.<\/p>\n

2. The Darkness<\/em><\/a> by Ragnar J\u00f3nasson<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

The Darkness<\/em> is a thriller that causes very contradicting feelings. I liked most of the book and hated the ending. Some people actually liked the ending too. You can read my review of The Darkness<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. The Chalk Man<\/em><\/a> by C. J. Tudor<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

The Chalk Man<\/em> is a thriller that many raved about. People couldn\u2019t sleep at night, they were scared and found the book very spooky. I didn\u2019t. It is gory, but it is not scary. You can read more about it in my\u00a0review of The Chalk Man<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. The Songbird<\/em> by Richard Parker<\/h4>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

The Songbird<\/em> is actually not a bad thriller. I didn\u2019t find the ending satisfying but the writing and the plot were quite good. The Songbird<\/em> hasn\u2019t been published yet, and my review of it will appear later.<\/p>\n

I feel so lucky to have read so many books that I can actually recommend! Off to November now! My reading list is getting more and more exciting with each day!<\/p>\n
