On My Radar: October 2024

Published on October 29, 2024October 27, 2024 by Celeste8 Comments

As usual, there was a lot of good stuff to read on everyone’s blogs this month! Plenty of book reviews, some of which I was extra keen to read since I passed on ARC opportunities due to limited time. (Not to mention Tammy’s review of a Halloween-meets-Christmas book gave me FOMO.) There are a few discussion posts to check out and plenty of fun “bookish miscellany,” too. So have fun checking out my October 2024 On My Radar.
