~ November Edition
What happened on the blog? (It was a slower month)
- I conquered my fear of audiobooks!
- I had another glorious library loot haul.
- Looking for some bookish news?
- See some of the bookish things I am thankful for.
- The reviews I posted this month:
- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
- Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
- Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
- Winter by Marissa Meyer
What went down behind the blog?
- I met Joelle Charbanue, author of The Testing trilogy! I got a signed copy of her new book Need.
- Thanksgiving has come and gone. I ate a lot, savored my time with family, and actually had three whole days off of work! I may love my jobs, but I enjoyed every second of my time off. Now my husband and I for the very first time get to decorate our house for Christmas. :D
- I saw the new Peanuts movie in theaters. It was adorable and hilarious. A great movie for the whole family!
- Raking leaves was both fun and a chore. It took us forever! We had sooo many leaves. This isn't even half of them!
- I started shopping for my #TBTBSanta! This is my first year participating and I am having a blast!
My Favorite Read of the Month
My Current Obsession
Some Books on My December TBR List
Ooh, #TBTBSanta is the best! I believe this is my fourth year doing it, and I just love it. I love being able to give bookish presents and receive some in turn. Also, yay for Winter being your favorite read and Jessica Jones being your Netflix obsession! Both were highlights of November, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI am having so much fun picking out bookish gets for my secret santa! I just finished Jessica Jones! That show blew me away!
DeleteWinter was amazing for me too!! What a series-ender. I'm also pumped to start Jessica Jones! I've heard nothing but awesome things about it.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I couldn't have asked for a better way to end that series. You MUST watch Jessica Jones. It is so so very good.
DeleteWinter was also my favorite book I read in the month of November. I definitely want to pick up Wolf by Wolf. Have you read Ryan's other book The Walled City? If you haven't, I suggest you read that one too! It's a great book that's fast-paced and has a great plot twist and characters. I know nothing about Wolf by Wolf but that cover is too interesting.

I did read The Walled City and I thought it was very good! I have a feeling Wolf by Wolf is going to be very good as well. :D
DeleteLooks like you had a lovely November! I have been wanting to read Compulsion, so I can't wait to see what you think about it.
ReplyDeleteI did, but it sure did fly by! I hope Compulsion is good, the cover sure is gorgeous.
DeleteSweet! Signed copies are always fun to get plus meeting an author ~ that's awesome. Have you read any other books by that author?
ReplyDeleteAh! The Peanuts Movie! I'll probably wait until it comes out to see it. I'm sure I'll love it.
Interested to see what you think of The Song of Achilles ~ I hear it's really good.
I read her Testing trilogy and it was really really good! You should give it a try if you haven't yet. All the books are out already. It's a dystopian book, but it was unique and had a very clever main character that I just loved.
DeleteOh how fun that you met Joelle Charbonneau! I still need to read her new book! It sounds like you had a great month minus all of the raking ;) I hope December is going well (since I am so behind on commenting)
ReplyDeleteJoelle was a pleasure in person! Very sweet. I can't believe how fast time flies. Seriously. It is already mid December! I hope you are having a good December as well.
