Welcome to Litsy!

Yes, it‘s 9 days into November & I‘m just posting my #TBR. In progress with some of these already & while I won‘t get to all the books here (& I am skipping a few read-alongs/challenges I normally do or wanted to do, I am going with this plus any holds & things coming in that I decide to read instead). We‘ll see where the month takes me. 📚📚📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚📚📚

I am keeping my November tbr pretty open because I am sure that my library Christmas holds will start to come in!

Here‘s my #ReadYourEbooks picks for the month! I‘m still finishing the one and only I read (technically am reading) from October‘s picks, so we‘ll see how I do this month.

Happy November! I am looking forward to reading some nonfiction this month! Everyone is welcome to join this Readathon and to share facts you learned with the hashtag #TodayILearned. We are counting podcasts, magazines and documentaries for this challenge. Make your own goals.

My November #bookspinbingo card

#BookspinBingo board is ready to go. Both my #Bookspin and #DoubleBookspin picks are library books. Shouldn‘t be too hard to fulfill.

I‘m not loving the spacing on this board and I can‘t seem to get it to change so I might have another board soon.

November #BookSpin List. I am going to attempt to read more nonfiction this month for #NonFictionNovember

…and now my official TBR. There‘s only 11, which is doable. I‘m pretty sure I‘ll hit 11 books read, so the only question is will it be this 11 or something else. 🤔

My money is on something else. 🤣🤣 #moodreader

It looks like I‘ll only be getting one read from the October picks, but I‘m happy with that. Here‘s my November list for #ReadYourEbooks. My connectivity will be scanty over the next week, so hopefully I‘ll get to see the numbers and post mine at some point.

I made a new reading tracker for November, you are welcome to try it

Happy November 1! I‘m looking forward to reading some nonfiction this month! Everyone is welcome to join this Readathon and to share facts you learn with the hashtag #TodayILearned We‘re counting podcasts, magazines and documentaries for this challenge. Make your own goals!

My goals are to walk during the day every day while listening to some form of nonfiction, clear out my stack of magazines a little bit, and read or listen to 5 NF books.

I feel like October went by in the blink of an eye!! Here is to another month and another photo challenge!!

I almost forgot to share my November #bookspinbingo TBR! Lots of leftovers but hopefully I can cross a lot off my list!

Holds back obligatory “where is the time going?” thought. I‘m excited to tackle #NetgalleyNovember let hope my mood reading heart can stick to it.

Starting Friday November 1 !! Each prompt for November has a corresponding dedicated day. Some of my favorites are Odd Socks Day, Kindness Day, and Good Grief Day🤩

Everyone is invited to play❣️ Find a book, quote, poem, play, idea or image for each prompt. Many thanks to all who joined in for October🙏🏻

Oh my word, October is almost over!! November is right around the corner, so if you would like to #BookSpin next month, it's time to be thinking about your lists!!

And for those of you who REALLY like to plan ahead, I have every intention of continuing this challenge (+ #BookSpinBingo of course!) into 2025... even if it's absolutely bonkers that next year is going to TWENTY-FIVE YEARS into the 21st century!

The more I think about it the more I want to do #NetgalleyNovember
My ratio is pathetic. I grabbed last years templates from Neverending_Netgalley on Instagram.
Anyone want to join me in raising your ratio?

I finished 15 books in November, the majority of which were good to great. Unsurprisingly, according to The StoryGraph, my most read genres were mystery and romance and the primary moods were dark, mysterious, and emotional. Tell me you fell into a deep depression without telling me you fell into a deep depression. 🤔 I‘d say here‘s to a lighter December, but I‘ve looked at my planned TBR. Maybe I should tweak it. 🤣🤣

Pretty happy with my November reading as I finished 17 books! 🎉📚🎉 They weren‘t necessarily the books in my November TBR as I made a mid-month decision to try to complete the #BOTM challenge & the #OnceUponABookClub 40 book challenge this year & switched out books. I am on track to finish both in December.

I finished my #SundayBuddyRead #JaneAdjacent & #ChildrensClassicsRead2023 #NancyDrewBR books & one for my virtual foodie book club too.⬇️

#NovelNovember #SaturdayNovember18ththruSundayNovember26th

Never posted my #NovelNovember TBR. Thanks for the tag! I have already read a handful of Oseman maybe to balance out some of the off the rails books am hoping to finish this week 🤣

It‘s taken a few days but here is my November TBR. I won‘t get to all of these but hopefully a lot of them. I‘ve already started a couple. As always, incoming library holds & my many moods may take me in other directions. 📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚

#BookspinBingo board ready to go. And right on time as I just finished my book and need to figure out what to read next. To the spinner!

My list for November‘s #BookSpin!
We‘re not going to talk about October 🫣 I am hoping to play catch up with my reading throughout this month 🤞

Here are the November prompts for #PoetryMatters Thanks to all those that played in November. It was a great poetry month.

To play post a poem, song, quote etc that you feel matches the prompt. Don't forget to tag me.
Looking forward to reading the poems.

How is it November already? My #bookspin list!

Thank you for hosting, Sarah! @TheAromaofBooks

I'm using #bookspin this month to try and knock off a few years from the #192025 challenge. I'm behind, to say the least. 🙈

Just post a photo - book/title, collage, poem, play, song, etc. - that expresses the daily prompt!

Have fun and thanks for your participation ❤️ Feel free to share!

I can‘t believe it‘s almost November! After a month of delightful horror and thriller reads I plan on getting back to some epic fantasy and a bit of romance.
As always I will participate in #bookspin #doublespin & #bookspinbingo

#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #NovemberWrapUp

I had a choice between a bingo and squeezing in another #NetgalleyNovember read and you can see what I chose. 🤦🏾‍♀️

#BookspinBingo

I wanted to finish one more book, but I can barely keep my eyes open, so I‘ll finish November with 18 completed books, including 3 books for #NetGalleyNovember, and 1 for #booked2022. I enjoyed the vast majority of these, with just the bottom row of letdowns. I‘m also at 192 books for this year and on track to break 200 for the first time.🤩 #novemberwrapup #novemberstats

For the #NovelNovember #readathon I just completed my first book. It's not in the system yet bit it's titled The Silent Woman by Minka Kent. I'd say it's so-so. Fairly predictable, but a few interesting twists. Overall barely ⭐⭐⭐
I'll be switching formats from Libby to Kindle and I'll tag the book below 👇

I hope to get a ton of reading in this week for #NovelNovember as I have most of it off! Thanks to @Andrew65 for another great #Readathon

Here's my NOVEMBER #bookspinbingo board all filled in. I've already finished 2 books so far. The Amendment and The Girl I Was...listening to Nothing More To Tell currently...which is also my book for #buzzword22.

Metropolis by B.A. Shapiro is my #bookspin
Relapse by Edward W. Robertson is my #doublespin

My November #bookspin and #doublespin

Thank you so much for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks 📚

#NonfictionNovember and Historathon 3.0 This is going to be a great month. I'm alternating between two of my favorite genres non-fiction and historical fiction. I've already finished the first one, The Second Life of Mirielle West was 5 stars!
#NovemberTBR

My #BookSpin TBR list for November. Mostly ARCS, I hope I can get through them all!

@TheAromaofBooks

Going to try to participate in #NetgalleyNovember I have about 15 books picked out and I‘m hoping my moody reading heart can be appeased by most of them.

Here we go…my November #bookspin list!

Can‘t wait to see what you pick, @TheAromaofBooks Thank you for hosting!

I can‘t believe it is November already! #novembernarrative @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

November‘s proposed TBR is a combination of books carrying over from October, NetGalley books that haven‘t been published, yet (i.e. I‘m not late reviewing them), a couple of library books, and a handful of just because on the event that I have time and/or can‘t decide what I want to read. #NovemberTBR #NetgalleyNovember I may pick up a nonfiction audiobook or two, but I don‘t want to feel locked into any of them.
