Happy Halloween my fellow bookworms!
I hope you have been able to enjoy in all the fun fall festivities and new books that are out! I wanted to mention that I will be going back to school, so I will be busy starting next year, and I am not sure on how often I can do book reviews. I will continue to post monthly and try to add new book news or information I find out for you to read.
That said, I do have some bookish news for you:
- This past month was Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month. If you would like some book recommendations celebrating Latinx and Hispanic authors, Penguin Random House has a book list titled I Am La Cultura.
- The original Poohsticks Bridge, from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh books is up for auction. If you really love
Winnie the Pooh, you can fulfill a childhood dream of booking a stay at the Bearbnb, or Winnie the Pooh's tree house. If it were not so far away, I would book my vacation today!
- All of the winter holiday items are already in the stores or making
their way in. If you want to start your holiday shopping early, Barnes & Noble recently released their Best Books of the Year 2021 list.
- If you haven't been able to visit a museum or see some autumn-themed art, the Smithsonian has an online "Autumn Views" exhibition for you.
- Google has released a virtual tour titled "Walk the Great Wall [of China]," a fun new online feature mixing culture and technology. You can view beautiful photos of the Great Wall, read up on the history, and even "hike" the wall in 360 degrees.
- How cool is this Ikea setup? It would be fun to have a similar set up at home, but it did make browsing new furniture more fun.

- There is a young adult novel that inspired Hayao Miyazaki to come out of retirement. He will be creating a film about his favorite childhood book, How Do You Live? by Yoshino Genzaburo. You can now read it, as it has been translated into English, and is available for purchase from bookstores, Amazon, wherever you buy books from! The movie is slated for release in 2023. You can read an article with more information from Publishers Weekly here.
- Another new movie coming out based on a young adult novel is based on the series Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. I have read the series and read the graphic novels. I am very interested to see how the film turns out, and whether or not there will be sequels! Yahoo News has information on the cast and more.
I will have more news next month. This month went by way too fast! I have a few books on my to-read plate, including: No Words by Meg Cabot, Lakesedgeby Lyndall Clipstone, Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber, and The Raven Heir by Stephanie Burgis. Let me know what you guys are reading in the comments!
Until next time! Stay spooky! :)
