Discussion: What was the best book you read in October?

Plus the Anderberg family's favorites

Hey there, readers!

Once again, it’s time to chat about our favorite reads of the previous month. Here’s what our family most enjoyed in October:

Jeremy: Thomas Harris’ classic Red Dragon, which introduces the Hannibal Lecter series, was perfect for October. I’m looking forward to reading the others in the series. On the non-fiction, I was very pleasantly surprised by Max Boot’s new Reagan. It’s easily the best biography of our 40th president.

Jane: After I finished The God of the Woods, I made Jane read it too. Just as I was, she was absorbed by both the setting and the story. And it never felt long, despite clocking in at 475 pages.

Graham (9 years old): Graham has been enjoying some non-fiction lately, including Virus Hunters, a lively history of epidemics and virus/vaccine science. He had a hard time putting it down in the last couple of weeks, which is always a good sign.

Willa (6.5 years old): The middle kiddo’s reading has taken off in the last month and she’s starting to read some things completely on her own! Her favorite this month was Gotta Catch a What?!, which is part of the Pokemon graphic collection.

Bo (3.5 years old): Taking advantage of Willa’s reading abilities, the little one has been asking her to read Eric Carle’s Brown Bear board book every night. It’s just as adorable as you’d imagine.

Alright, your turn! What was your favorite October read?
