November reading wrap up

2024/12/9 Edited to

... Read moreIn November, I dived into a selection of captivating reads that spanned various genres. One of the standout books was 'Crying in H Mart' by Michelle Zauner, which chronicles her moving experiences with grief and identity; I rated it 4/5 for its raw and emotional storytelling. Another gem was 'Yellowface' by R.F. Kuang, a gripping commentary on authorship and race, which I'd recommend giving a read, rating it a full 5/5. Additionally, 'I'll Be Gone in the Dark' by Michelle McNamara had me on the edge of my seat as it unraveled the mystery of the Golden State Killer. I gave it a 3/5, highlighting the well-researched narrative. 'The Language of Fanaticism' by Amanda Montell, a thought-provoking book exploring societal norms, also captured my attention, though I rated it 3/5 for pacing issues. For those interested in lighter reads, 'Saving Haon' by Lucinda Berry was delightful, receiving a generous 5/5 for its engaging story. I also explored 'Five-Star Stranger' by Juli Kat Tang, which brought forth themes of love and timing, perfectly blending comedy into the narrative, earning it a rating of 3/5. Lastly, I picked up 'A Fate Inked in Blood' by bestselling author Danielle L. Jensen, which captivated me with its intricate plot and engaging characters, also earning a solid 5/5. This diverse mix of memoirs, thrillers, and contemporary literature made for an enriching month of reading, and I can’t wait to share more thoughts on my next wrap-up!

I definitely slowed down for the month of November. I still read a lot more than I thought I did. This month has just been a rough one with the loss of our fur baby, Koda. We have been healing, even though some days I still just bawl my eyes out. But 7 books is still SUPER amazing. I recommend ever

Man, this was not a great month for reading. I struggled with the first 30% of Anathema - very heavy drawn out world building, took me a week make it! - but it picked up after. Phantasma was my winner of the month. #booktok #darkromance #smutclub #reading

I managed to get through 20 books this month. 12 of them were new and 8 of them were rereads. 🔘Casey's Secrets and My Boyfriend's Dad were both pure smut. While they were fun, I'd never read them again. 🔘Getting Schooled was a second chance romance and I think it was supposed to be cute
