October Book Overview - Miss Known
It has been a year since I started doing these monthly wrap-ups. I can’t believe a year has passed already and I haven’t missed any month. They may not be my most viewed posts but are for sure my favourite. I can ramble and talk about books as I’m pleased. There is nothing better.

I was looking to get only the first volume of Saga by Brian K. Vaughan but since the comic book store didn’t have it, I bought all the numbers they had at the moment. SO now I’m the proud owner of four volumes of Saga, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I’ve already read every issue that has come out until now, so I’m not bothered I don’t have the first volume. I’ll get it another time. Then my mother offered me with a book I’ve been so excited for. Origin, the latest book by Dan Brown that continues the story of Robert Langdon.
