books I bought in NOV

I, Medusa - this book will be the perfect gift to give any women this holiday . I read the arc in November. It was my favorite read of the month so I had to buy me a physical hard cover trophy.

The Secret History - all I know is that it’s dark academia and I’ve always been intrigued since it’s so many readers favorite book.

HAMNET - I was recently invited to the film adaptation advanced screening of this, so I had to grab the book and read it first of course, as readers do. loved it and loved the film, just as much.

When The Moon Hatched - this is just to add to my collection honestly one of my favorite books, and this edition is insane.

Saving & Redeeming 6 - the series has become like home to me. I can’t wait to get to Joey’s story. I’m doing one original print and one special edition because those sprayed edged new ones are pricey. trying to balance lol. #lemon8christmas #lemon8contest #bookhaul #newbooks #books

You know that feeling when you pick up a book, read the blurb, and think, “I’m probably not going to like this very much?” But you see everyone reading it and decide to give it a try (even if it sits on your shelf for a while before you read it)… and then it ends up being your favorite book?! 😂
