Saw this on Facebook. This is so me!!
Can't tell you how often my husband has woken an hour or two after we went to bed and says, "I thought you were only going to read until the end of the chapter." ?
❤️??
This is just a reminder that November's book for #BDB #BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub is Lover Enshrined. There are 57 chapters, which means we will read 14 chapters for the first three weeks and 15 chapters the last week. Happy Reading!

This book definitely has a well loved troupe, fake marriage. I felt sorry for Katherine and thought Richard was a total asswipe. But then that's what the author wanted the reader to think about the characters. Sound familiar? The plot was predictable; however, the character of Katherine saved the day. So wanted something good to happen for her and that is what kept me interested. 3.5 ⭐️ if the plot had been more polished this could have been a 4.
This is a young adult forbidden romance (student/teacher) though there is only 3 years of age between the two MCs. I felt the romance took a back seat to other things. The story was more about loss and grief. Which I thought the author handled well. Not an earth shattering story but good nonetheless. 3.5 - 4⭐️.

I did manage to read one of the four books for #ReadYourKindle and #ReadYourEbooks @CBee in October. I read a second book from my Kindle that was not on my 20 books list.

I am working on getting October wrapped up. The month was a good reading month. I read 28 books for a total of 8,827 pages. As of October 31st, my YTD totals are 252 books, 75,931 pages read, and 2,137.50 hours read.
#ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
I finished Slammed yesterday and I started Infalla: The Alien's Bond that has been on my Kindle for awhile. @CBee Not on my list of 20 books for #ReadYourKindle but one of the thousands I need to get to. At least some progress, right?!
#MiddleGradeMonday @Karisimo
This is the only one I could think of. Curious to see what my fellow Littens come up with.

Running behind here. I made myself sit down this morning and tally up my points for the 2nd half of the #HauntedShelf games. Total is 28,310. Had loads of fun and read 28 books!
A big shout out to @PuddleJumper for organizing and to @Catsandbooks for being a great team leader.

I am listening to this while I clean up the kitchen. Then, I will head to the couch for some quality lazy time.

Currently reading two books. Still debating on a third.
Here are the four books I will attempt to read in November. I have so many ebooks it is hard to narrow my list to just 20 each month. I have a hard time sticking to the list. However, this challenge is helping my address my backlog.

I did manage three bingos in October. I was going for four but ever the mood reader, I fell a little short. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
Currently working on two books. I need to start a third. So many books not enough time.
I decided to start this book. I choose my Dragon Bookmark to use. It is the same sticker that is on my laptop. Am I the only one that changes bookmarks with my mood.

Here is my #BookSpin Bingo board for November. Now I am ready for the month. Come on November!! 😂
@TheAromaofBooks
This is the second book in the Priest series. I loved book one, but this one was better. I was hooked from the beginning. I love how Zinny made Sean want to be a better person. His journey was incredible. The book is extra steamy, but it is wonderful prose and characters that make me want to give this one more than five stars. An incredible love story that I guarantee will pull at your heart strings. 5⭐️ #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65

Here is my #2022ReadingBracket updated for October. Unless something blows me away, my top pick will be The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. I would love to see that as a movie.

On the Island was my favorite for the end of October. My top pick for the month is June First. However, these were all great books and anyone of them could have been at the top.

I worked on three books yesterday. Almost finished with Sinner. That will probably be my first book of November!

#DaysDevotedTo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs #Authors
November 1st is National Author Day. Here are a few of the contemporary authors that I enjoy reading books written by them.
Starting at the upper left top row is Brandon Sanderson, Grace Goodwin, and Leigh Bardugo. Middle is Terry Pratchett, and Giana Darling. Bottom row is Neil Gaiman, J. R. Ward, and Andy Weir. This is just a sampling. There are so many more.
Went to dinner and stopped at the bookstore while I was out. Came home with this haul.
Did I tell you I love book shopping!?! LOL! 🤣🤣🤣

Well, this is by far my worst showing to date. Mainly because I don't read horror and very little mystery or thrillers. At least I had read two. Oh well, better luck next time.
#ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
I finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches for #Littensloveromance yesterday. @StayCurious
I started Sinner book two I. The Priest series. #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 Also started The Contract for #ReadYourKindle challenge. @CBee
The above book is my choice for November. I noticed this will not be released until December, according to GoodReads.
What did you choose?
❤️📦❤️📚📖❤️
#Littensloveromance @StayCurious
It is a cute story but not on par with other books that are similar. I enjoyed it, but it is more of a fluffy read, and I was expecting so much more. I'm still glad I read. 3.5ish ⭐️

This is a reread for me. I read it when it was originally published in 2011. It's such a great story, and the characters were authentic. Loved it just as much as the first time. It's a fabulous love story with all the feels. You can't help falling in love with TJ and Anna. 5⭐️
