Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!     October has always been an epic month for me . It is a month filled with coz ying up to some scary reads, geeking out at New Yor k Comic Con, and watching the leaves change into gorgeo us colors.   September was a spectacular month for books, with many four and five star reads. I was blessed with a fun month that included an amazing trip to Connecticut HorrorFest, the beginnings of Autumn decorating, and my first Pumpkin Lattes of the season .    I am hoping that Octo ber is as eventful reading as September was.

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,     It's that time again, Xepherus Reads 10 Favorite Characters of 2018 so far!    I have read so many amazing books in the year of 2018. And when I review a book, sometimes I feel that they need another shout out as to how much they affected my reading. Often they feature characters that are entertaining and stay with me long after the book has ended. I have also included links to my reviews in each description . In alphabetical order: Alice Vega- This bounty hunter did not take no for an answer when she was hired to find two missing girls in Two Girls Down . Her courageous and often brash approach to her work was a wonderful companion to the novel's other main character, retired cop Max Caplin. Alice never gave up on finding the Brandt girls, even sustaining a head injury while taking down one of the kidnappers. Brought to life by writer Louisa Luna, Alice remains stuck in my mind.  ...
