Monthly Wrap Up | October 2025 – Past Midnight Book Reviews & More

October went by so fast! My kids had Fall Break, my hubby went to Japan, and I held down the fort as usual. The government has been shutdown so my hubby has been working and NOT getting paid – we have savings to pay our mortgage, but it’s kind of scary not knowing when he will get paid again. We shall see how November goes…

Halloween was fun – my kids and hubby dressed up and went trick or treating while I stayed home and passed out candy! I’m hoping all of you had a good October and will have a great November.

I read 17 books and posted 26 book reviews in October.
