What did you read in November?

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here. What did you read, how are you doing on your goal?

Re: What did you read in November?

  • Like nothing. November was insane. Illness, more illness, more illness, DD's birthday, and surgery for DD. Crazy.

    So I read one book. Troublemaker. It was fascinating.

    I can't believe we have 5 year olds!!!!

    All I read all the way through was The Liar. I started and put down a lot of books because of life being busy too. School is done in a week and I have a month break so bring on the books.

  • November was pretty good to me, but 4 days into December isn't looking as good.

    Finished The Longest Ride (started in October)
    Read:

    Down the Rabbit Hole
    The Beginning of Everything
    Missoula (finished on 12/1)

    Technically I'm at goal of 18/18 for the year, however I don't know if the Wayward Pines series counts as 3 books or not so I'm just going to try to have a kick butt December to finish it out.

    I finished all 3 back in Sept. Have to say I liked the books more than the show (why did they change it so much?)

    I feel so bad, I finally just started SYBG. I hope it'll go fast so I can catch up on the discussion.

  • I am so far behind on my challenge that it hurts. I'm at 18/30. I didn't even set very lofty goals, but I've been dragging for months on my current Kindle book. I like it, but the style and timeline make it very hard for me to read.

    So... November was just audiobooks:

    The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson - 3 stars
    Locke & Key by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodríguez - 4 stars
