Two days, two belated stacks. โ๐ป If Iโm also wearing a leather jacket right now, does that make me a rebel? ๐โก๏ธ๐ค๐ป๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
For real though ๐โthis was my November wrap-up! โจ๐โจ
โข
Last month was a really good reading month for me! Not only did I finish quite a few more books than I have been as of late (9 ๐๐ป), but there were some pretty hefty reads in there. Particularly the 800 page behemoth of a novel, The Goldfinch. ๐ And, there were some seriously magical powerhouses. โจ๐ช๐ป
I can say with all honesty that I havenโt had a more pleasurable reading month in a long time. I really, reallyyy loved almost everything I read (/devoured). ๐๐ป๐ค
โข
The Goldfinch became by far my favorite book of the year, and, after The Unbearable Lightness of Being, perhaps my favorite book period.
โข
Not pictured are two audiobook listens:ย
So Lucky by Nicola Griffith (a Tournament of Books ๐longlister, brought to my attention by @armyofwords, and a really powerful read), and Girl Wash Your Hair by Rachel Hollis (the one book that was a total wash for me… har har ๐… but really, that one was not my jam, nor what I expected going in).
In true mood reader fashion, I did not get to all of the books on my November list, but what I ended up with was ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป, so Iโm more than happy with my choices. ๐ฎ๐
โข
As I did last month, Iโve also included in the list (but not in the ๐ธ) books I began, but have yet to finish, and this time around those are all transferring over to my December TBR, because I LOVE THEM all.
