books read in October 2017

[orangerful]

This list looks impressive until you see how many graphic novels are on here LOL. Still, I got through quite a lot! There are a couple here that I didn't read cover to cover, but I got the gist of it. (Also, GoodReads is being wonky and not bringing up all the books I marked as "read"...really weird. I remembered a few that I knew I had on my list

That's quite a variety of books!

The road to Riverdale books use the original drawings or the characters look like in the show? I think it’s good to have a sampler with some stories but I don’t think it’s needed to be honest... I started Riverdale out of curiosity without knowing it was an adaptation and I only found out tornare the end of the show... :)

It uses excerpts from the new comic reboots that actually came out a year or so before the show was a thing (though one of the head writers of the comics now works on the show). So it doesnt' directly tie in at all apart from it being the Archie universe. I thought one book was cool, a great way to get people who like the show into the comics, but they are releasing volume 4 which just seems silly!

And there is no mention/inclusion of the original Archie comics which were very cartoony and goofy compared to the new ones.

I do really like the new Archie series though, just not interested in the spin-offs at all.

That's still an impressive number of books.
I'll have to look up some of them.

I really should do a post like this to. Although it'll be really short... and I listen to a lot of podcasts and books I read I listen to as audiobooks, because... busy moma here. :-P

[orangerful]

Do it! I'm always curious what podcasts people are listening to as I tend to just stick to NPR quiz shows LOL. A couple of these books were audiobooks too! Listening counts! You are taking in the information!

I had a friend who used to track all of her online article reading too, which I could never do LOL.

[kseenaa]

I will then. :-D Thanks for the encouragement! It almost feels like cheating to listen to audiobooks though. :-P Is that silly to think like that?

[orangerful]

It's an argument I hear all the time from parents, that listening is cheating, but it is really not! I mean, if it wasn't for audiobooks I would miss out on a lot of stories. I find I really enjoy listening to adult non-fiction and if it wasn't for audiobooks, I would never get around to those stories because I'm into reading graphics and YA more. :) And Podcasts are practically non-fiction audiobooks in some cases!

There's a lot of good variety here. :)
