October Round Up and Book of the Month


October's Book of the Month is The Hero of Ages 
by Brandon Sanderson



A few weeks ago I took part in Mistborn Mondays a readalong of the original Mistborn trilogy hosted by Lucy at The Book Belle. I'd wanted to read this series for absolutely ages and took this as the perfect opportunity to do so. I ended up loving this series so much! It's by far one of the best book series I've read in my entire life and Brandon Sanderson has become an auto-buy author for me - I now have to read everything he's ever written! Needless to say the final book in this series The Hero of Ages was a mind-blowing five star read for me and is easily my book of the month for October.

*** my mind was blown by this entire series ***
