End of September, Early October 

Heeya !
Eeeeek, Blogoween is more near than ever; and I am so pumped to be participating in this. Shoutout to all the nice hosts whoās giving us some prompt ideas because guys.. I donāt think I could come up with much, ahaha. As youāve seen in my Oct. tbr, iāve chosen some books in themes so my reviews can count ā and I have a fall tag saved so far, but I think the rest shall be blogoween prompts, I heart characters prompts, and I wanna do a micro review too as Lauren tagged me in one this month. Oooh but you might see the start of my creepy pasta reviews !! Would be the idea month to start them, wouldnāt it?
Before Blogoween though, letās see how my September went, shall we?
Septemberās Habit tracker ;
So this month .. I do think that it looks quite better than my past monthās habit tracker, though I got a few blogging slumps in turn of returning comments. I did walked the weeins a few times as it started to get fresh again, but I also need more work on that side of things ; No worries, mom took them for a walk without me too, like when I was working and such.
Septemberās Events ;
ā¾ I finished three books again !! Yippeee! I did & edited my blog tourās review of āIn Servitudeā, and attacked two books on my deadlines that has been on it the longest; āangels canāt swimā, the review request, and the french arc of āWhen Dimple met rishiā from NetGalley France.
ā¾ Talking of thoses, Iām back at 80% rating on NetGalley as I gave them my review of When dimple met rishi; which was the only that was there for 3months + !! Iām getting back on track, the only one remaining from my overdue list shall be āThe general theory of hauntingā, and if all has been well I shall be reading it right this moment ā and after that I only have a last one I just asked for this month for blogoween. And iām done !!! Yeah, I wonāt ask that many arcs again ā¦ or accept too many review requests, phew.
ā¾ I posted my first bilingual (fr/eng) review, which was well accepted !! So iām thinking it should be a regular thing for books that have both languages out while the rest shall be the normal english only. It makes my reviews differents and not all the same ā which I quite like.
ā¾ I have good news regarding the weeins !! Prior to this month, I was using a grain-free canadian food named āAcanaā; While itās a really good brand and all, Kafei was getting picky and we had to constantly force him to eat.. and he was kind of chubby for a dachshund, which you should know itās really bad as it put pressure on their unsupported long spine.
I then decided to switch to a brand of food from the vet that helps brushing the teeth as itās ābigger ballsā and they need to munch on them alot, while also having all the vitamins and nutriments they need added inside them. Since the switch, he has became so much more hyper !! Heāll play with his sister, and pick toys up so much more often; you should see him go !! He also surprisingly really love thoses, and even go to the pantry door and will cry for his supper around our usual feeding time (Heāll get 1/2cup twice a day and sheik get 1cup twice a day). Two weeks after the switch, I weighted us and my boy went from 17.19lbs to 16.7lbs !!! Still a bit to get off him, but a tiny curve on his butt has appeared and doesnāt look as chubby as he used to. Hurray!! Sheik is so active, that on her side, she remains at 18.7lbs and it never change; though she do weight more than him, she has a really nice shape !! Since she got sick a year ago she is so thin .. Though sheās back to her old energic self. Almost too tiny for me, but problem is I donāt wanna force her to gain weight and we then have the problem of her being too big afterward, you know ? xD
ā¾ I got my blood donorās card in the mail from last monthās first time I went giving blood ! And with that a big surprise.. for some reasons I always thought I was O+ like dadās, turns out nope. Iām actually A+ like mom !! That was an odd thing I couldnāt wrap my head around Though I digged in some baby stuff and yep, there it was all along! I just had always been told I had dadās blood type, so I felt like my life had been a lie a bit ahaha I really felt strongly for that blood type. (wierd, eh?)
ā¾ Iāve been job hunting but alasā¦ got the interviews and nothing back. Though i gotta say I got a wierd thing happening xD two weeks after an interview I got an email saying she wanted me to call for schedule my trainingā¦ while I havenāt had heard anything from them since ?? and had NOT accepted nor denied anything or even had a job offer ?? After a while I asked her 8 basics questions (how much per hour/how many hour a shift/how many hours a week/if training paid/etc.) and she flat out ignored them and said they were gonna go another direction and wished me goodluck. I had never seen anything like it before..
Edit; I had an interview for Second Cup (coffee shop) on Thursday, and I got the job!! As you are reading this I shall be on my first shift ; I was starting at 730 am up until 1pm today.
The monthās love sharing ! ;
Ā° Clo @ Book Dragons gave us the blogoween prompts list, aswell as a nice post onto book translations & knowing english. She also participated on a guest post @ Book Dragonism with rain about some blogging doās and dontās !
Ā° Aimee @ aimee always gave us some neat tips for blog engagements !
Ā° Darina @ facing the story explains to us how she pick her next books she wanna read.
Ā° Alexia @ bookworm daydreamer gives us her reasons why sheāll start DNF-ing books, and why you should probably do so aswell.
Ā° Sophie @ Beware the reader gives you some recs (5) for first-readers in the fantasy genre! None of my first two fantasy books are there, but as always her post is awesome as F and super funny !
Ā° Gayathri @ Elgee writes shares how she (and others) can follow you and your blog !
Ā° Over @ it started with ārebeccaā, sheās showing some basic BuJo spreads for beginners ā and they are so lovely !
Octoberās spread !
I havenāt finished decorating or placing my quotes yet, but hereās how my month calander looks like. Nothing super fancy; but Alex, myself and my parents shall go to my Uncleās wedding on the 13th !! Itās back home, so we have a bit of driving (6hours back and forth), aswell as his first time meeting a piece of my family AND the city iām from ā which is majorly french speaking. ahah we shall have fun !
Same model of habit tracker as last month, nothing to explain here.
Look how cute my tiny bat drawing looks like !! Like I said, One fresh Netgalley, and a review request. From now on letās try to keep it to 2/3 per month on this page so I donāt get as much overdue again x) and hopefully fit some of my own novels from my shelf once in a while in the mix too.
As Itās halloween, I tried to do a pumpkin patch designā¦ yeah. It looks like apples xD woops. Oh well.
Lastly, a look onto what my weeks looks like. Iām still somewhat struggling with how to make my thursdays fitā¦ merp.
Have you discovered any new BuJo pages you like lately?
Anything exciting coming for you in October?

No problem xx
Thank you for linking to my post! I hope you have a great October!
My pleasure !
Thank you, you aswell xx
Thanks for the link!!!! And congrats on getting the job! Now Blogoweenhas me all stressed as I am pondering what iāll choose for level 2!
ahaha yep, downside of it ā isnāt it xD
Thank you, Day one wasnāt so bad; but tomorrow shall be better as the lady know more how to train ahah.
Yay congratulations for the job Kristina
And good luck for blogoween. Seems like you guys are super excited. I wish I had time to participate too.

And congrats on 80% ratio. Thatās amazing. I think I can never achieve that. I have lost all the hope
Glad you were able to finish the pending books. Good luck for October
Thank you <3
The hype is real !! I however am not one to read much in that theme xD so I pretty much rely on prompts.. ahah
oh noo.. ahah i'm stalled at 80% ā still haven't got my badge though ! As long as I don't request any more, I shall stay there ..
i really enjoy looking at your bujo posts. im v proud of you for getting a new job so soon! good luck with it dear
Aww thank you ! Im so happy people do like them, I find them pretty plains for my standards ā¦ ahah
Of course itās hard to know really after one shift, where it couldve been better ? but, hopefully iād end up liking it. Not too sure right now, honestly.
at the end of the day theres no point a bujo being over complicated, it has to work for the person whosusing it!! mine is pretty plain too
right, right .. my weekly kinda sprawn away from the āplanningā and is more acting like a āpersonnal journalā where id write what I did/happened that day xD but on the planningā¦ iād have nothing to put inside you know !
Aw, itās great to hear Kafeiās weight has gone down a bit! Iāll be sending all the best vibes for your pups! <3 And 80% rating is awesome! I've been there twice for likeā¦a week, but then I went on a request spree again.
And congrats on the new job!!
ahahah yeps. letās stay still .. no more requests for me for now xD I wanna go to my paperback !!
Thank you <3
Youāre making me want to crack open my BuJo again! Iāve been slacking on it for a few months now, because Iāve been trying to keep my head afloat with other things and drawing out layouts just gives me lowkey anxiety haha. But now Iām tempted to draw out a layout for this month??? But again, Iām traveling on Saturday, so maybe Iāll come back to it in Novemberā¦
you should ! Oh my I so understand .. I start panicking about doing the next month on like, the 5th of a new month xD (so still like, 3 weeks AHEAD)
I just love your bullet journal weekly and monthly spread and your habit tracker! Itās so tidy and well organised, I wish mine was like that haha!
Thanks for mentioning my post <3 And congratulations on your new job, hope it goes well!
Thank you ! so far so good ā I do really really love the grinding coffee part ahah and smells so good too !!
Congrats on the job.
Your bujo is great because you use it. Didnāt want to start mine until I was sure I would use it. Your kids look great, especially Kafei.
Thanks xx
yeah same- after how I flunked my first planner.. didnāt wanted to pay for nothing you know.. after Blogoween I wanna go through how I personally use mine, as itās a bit different in a way ? So maybe itād push someone who want to to start it !
I agree, he looks so much better !
