Anita (anitanodiva) | 4099 comments October Reading 2025

description

The push is on to complete a few of the series on my list. It's strange, but I am reluctant to reach the end for some of them, almost like losing a friend I liked a lot. But, as I say, "So many books, so little time." And, I keep finding new series to read and add to the list, so it doesn't seem to ever shrink.

Fall in in full swing in October and with it comes the Baseball playoff and the World Series. GO DODGERS!!!

My Grandkids are busy planning their Halloween costumes and strategizing their Halloween night attack plan. Halloween night will find us on the walk streets of Hermosa Beach. It is one big block party fun with family and friends. Have a wonderful October. Remember to leave some of the candy for the Trick or Treaters!

I know what you mean about reaching the end of a beloved series. As much as I like catching up, I hate letting go. Your Dodgers should do well with that amazing Ohtani! He’s exciting to watch.

Have a great reading month!

Anita (anitanodiva) | 4099 comments Thank you, Jonetta! I want some of the series I have read to just go on forever. Ohtani is truly the best the game has ever seen. I got to see him pitch earlier this year. He is wonderful to watch. My brother and sister-in-law have tickets for game 4 of this series.
