Well, as noted, already read Crier's War. It was interesting, sci-fi meets fantasy, full of suspense. I need to read the second book in the duology so I know what happens! I also finished Where the Library Hides, which I thought was not quite as good as the first book but still enjoyable. The will-they-won't-they between Whit and Inez was the best part.
Color me shocked, I finished The Priory of the Orange Tree, and it didn't even take me the full month! I thought it would take me so much longer to whittle away at, but it was so very good, full of intrigue and world-building, and I couldn't put it down. The biggest challenge with it being so long was how physically big the book is - pro tip? Get yourself a little d20 stuffy, it's the perfect size to sit in your lap and rest a book on top of.
Now I'm just wrapping up The Crimson Moth, my second pick for challenge 4, just to be thorough. I'm reading it at night before bed, so it'll take me a little longer than it normally would, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It immediately dove back into the intrigue of the first book, so much stress but in such a good way.

For my October books, I rolled challenge #9, read a book based solely on its setting, and challenge #15, read a banned book and complete a task on Book Riot's How to Fight Book Bans guides. For #9, I'm planning to read Study Break: 11 College Tales from Orientation to Graduation by Aashna Avachat et. al. College counts as a setting, right? For #15, I'll be reading Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson, and for my action I'll be watching my school board's biweekly meetings and sending them emails and attempting to do the same with my city council. It's a lot of content, but I want to keep on top of it as best I can.
