Book Prescriptions: Reading Suggestions Based On Your Favorite TV Shows

I haven't done one of these posts in FOREVER. I am hoping to bring it back in some way at least once a month. I work on booklists all the time at work so why not also share my ideas on the blog?

The Books I suggest aren't always necessarily the same genre/plot so much as they have the same feel... and are great reads of course!

This time around I have decided to focus on tv shows. Enjoy!

Month In Review - November Edition

~ November Edition

What happened on It's a Book Life?

• I participated in the Ho-Ho-Ho Holiday Read-a-thon. Not only did this help me catch up in my goodreads challenge, but it gave me the chance to actually read some holiday books this year.

• I started a new discussion type feature called "I Feel Like Gabbing Today." It's a fun way for me to tell you all the random bookish and non-bookish thoughts that pop into my head throughout the week. So far I have had two posts and hope to keep it up. I'm thinking I will do this feature every other week.

• I also brought back Book Prescriptions, previously titled Book Recommendation Friday. I plan to post this on the first Friday of every month. I won't have a post for December, but I plan to make this a for sure thing every month in 2015.

• I posted only 5 reviews this month.

• Heroes Are My Weakness by: Susan Elizabeth Phillips (3.5/5 stars)
• On The Fence by: Kasie West (5/5 stars)
• Chaos by: Sarah Fine (5/5 stars)
• Boomerang by: Noelle August (4/5 stars)
• The Assassin's Blade by: Sarah J. Maas(5/5 stars)

My Favorite Read of The Month

The very very long wait for this book was worth it!

What went down behind the blog?

• I got a new car! My old 2001 Pontiac Sunfire was slowly falling apart and becoming a pain. It got to the point that it wasn't worth fixing up anymore. Luckily for me my dad works for Ford and I got a really good affordable deal on a new Ford Fiesta. It's a pretty blue color.

MY NEW CAR :)

My Biggest Moment in November

I participated in and WON NaNoWriMo!

I can't believe December starts tomorrow!

My Bookish and Non-Bookish Goals for December

• Take time to actually relax and enjoy the holidays with my husband and the rest of my family.

• Finish my goodreads challenge goal! This means I must read 15 books in the month of December. I got this.

• I need to catch up on blog post comments. Since I was so busy in November they kind of got away from me.

The December Release I Look Forward to The Most
