StoryGraph November wrap up!
Short books because I was really sick. 🤒 glad to say the pneumonia is gone!!! I‘m still tired and coughing a little but I‘m way better and back at work.
And just like that, it‘s December! How are we in the last month of 2024 already?!? November blew past and I realized today that I didn‘t post at all last month. 😅 Despite my lack of activity on Litsy, it was a decent reading month for me. I was able to check off a couple of Litsy book club reads and I even got started on my holiday reading! Wishing everyone a fabulous reading month to close out the year. 📚🎄💜
It turns out that my shock following the result of the election led me to dive into as much reading as possible. Social media and news sources were turned off resulting in a good number of books read.
The Devil Aspect capped off a lackluster November for me. The top two were the best of the non-rereads. I really hope December is better. #novemberwrapup
A much better reading month in November, where I started to get back on a better reading routine, but still a big shortfall compared to my reading last November.

This month I tried to focus on #BookSpin and #Roll100 debt, and I think I did OK.
Spins: Letters, To The Men I Have Loved by Mirtha Michelle Castro Mármol (Nov #BookSpin); D: A Tale of Two Worlds by Michel Faber (July and Nov #DoubleSpin)
#Roll100: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (Nov); Spy x Family, Vol. 4 by Tatsuya Endo (Apr, Sep); D: A Tale of Two Worlds by Michel Faber (Apr); House of Blades by Will Wight (Nov)
Read 12 books in November, which isn't bad considering I traveled home for Thanksgiving. I also had five 5 star reads this month (3 were rereads).
I had a slower reading month (for me), because I was busy and read some longer books.
Also all but one of these I read via Audiobook.
My favorites of the month:
The three Joe Abercrombie books - I just love his characters!
Look Closer was a very funny twisty thriller
& Kindred was just excellent.

Late update, I know but these are the books I finished for #NovelNovember readathon. I had some others planned but Dr. Saint Emily Rath herself blessed us with the release of Pucking Ever After Volume 2 on Thanksgiving and I dropped everything and read all 70K words in one day. 💯
Did I post this!? Am I questioning my sanity!? My November list is here and hopefully will go as well as October did. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Well, I completely whiffed my reading goals for November. Between traveling and personal stuff, I‘m surprised I managed to finish anything.
✅ 1 #roll100 title
✅ 3 audiobooks, one of which was my #bookspin
✅ 2/4 from my TBR
✅ 4 years added to #192025
🚫 1 DNF
I‘m midway through 3 books right now, so hoping my Dec reading will look a bit more robust 🤞
I had a pretty solid November. Looking forward to allllll the holiday reads in December (after I finish my current, non holiday reads lol).
It was tough to pick my favorite this month as I read some excellent books, but I had to go with Babel. For me it totally lived up to the hype.
What will be my top read of the year?
#2022ReadingBracket
I achieved my goal of completing 9 books for the @Andrew65 #Readathon #NovelNovember ! And, in completing that, I reached my 2022 goal of 250 books!!! This is the largest yearly goal I‘ve ever set for myself and the earliest I‘ve achieved it. Thanks @Andrew65 for the challenge. Also to @wanderinglynn for the #BFC22 and encouraging walking and #audiobooks. That is a big part of how I finished so many books this year!
