How was my November?
This month I read a lot more non review copies than normal. My ratings are higher than average because these are all books that I was really excited about. I had gotten a ton of great titles for my birthday and really enjoyed reading them this month.
My blog didn’t get as many views as it did last month as in October I participated in Blogoween, but I did do pretty well. I didn’t make any goals this month, and that’s okay.
I enjoyed a really great month book wise, started cleaning up my TBR and shared my new hobby with you guys. I also started organizing my TBR with Kaleena’s 2019 bookish spreadsheet, you should really check it out because it is a LIFESAVER.
What books did I read?
I read a total of 9 books, 1 author request, 2 ARCs and 7 buddy reads. A total of 3780 pages read!
The Wicked King by Holly Black ★★★★★
Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor ★★★★★
The Black Witch by Laurie Forest ★★★★★
The Iron Flower by Laurie Forest ★★★★
The Myth Seeker by Cory Barclay★★★★
Not Even Bones by Rebecca Schaeffer ★★★★
Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa ★★★★
The Long Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes ★★★★
The Similars by Rebecca Hanover ★★★★
What is my new hobby that I shared?
I shared with you guys that I have been learning hand lettering and calligraphy. I absolutely LOVE doing it. I have made a few bookmarks and hope to open an Etsy shop eventually. I made a how to post of some basics!
What are some posts that you should check out?
- I highly recommend that you check out Kaleena@ Reader Voracious’ 2019 bookish spreadsheet. It is a lifesaver for organizing your TBR and ARC’s, plus it has all sorts of bookish stats.
- Check out Camillea Read’s post about Platonic Love and Why it Needs to be Represented More in Books.
- Check out BookDragonism’s post of 2019 Fantasy books by Asian Authors.
- Check out Angela @ Hiding Behind Books Blog’s series of featured bloggers.
- Last, but certainly not least, check out Fictionally Sam and Clo @ Book Dragon’s Bookending Winter event! WHICH OF COURSE I AM PARTICIPATING IN!
Just saying… these are some of my FAVORITE book bloggers, so you should totally check them out regardless of these awesome posts.
Congratulations for reading lots of books this month! It’s an honor to be mentioned here alongside other awesome bloggers 😊

Ah, it was good, but not as great as the first. The thing I loved about the first was the character development, so since I already knew all the characters the second had a lot more action. Still amazing though, I will follow that series all the way through.
