Monthly Recap:
Monthly Reading Count - 15 - not as good as I wanted but not bad for how chaotic this time of year is. And how is 2024 already almost finished? It feels like we have skipped some time.
Print - 4
Ebook - 4
Audiobook - 7
Mystery - 10
Romance - 1
Fiction - 4
Favorite Books of the Month:
The Mirror by Nora Roberts - I'm still a little jealous that I don't have a unknown part of my family who will leave me a mansion full of antiques and lots of family secrets - and ghosts. I really enjoyed this one and it was a perfect cozy read.
Overture to Death by Ngaio Marsh - I've read several Ngaio Marsh mysteries and enjoyed some but she's never been a favorite. This mystery was an absolute delight and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Least Favorite Book of the Month:
A Book to Kill For by Harper Linn - I really enjoyed the bookstore setting and found the mystery to be fairly solid but really didn't like the main character - or most of the other characters for that matter.
Bookish Armchair Travel
Domestic Travel: I visited Rhode Island for the first time and also visited Georgia, Maine (twice), Connecticut, Texas, Illinois, and California
International Travel: This was a slow month for international travel. I only went to England three times and then Scotland once.
What did you read in November and where did your reads take you?
I'd count 15 books as a win considering all the holiday events and being a bust month. Last month I "visited" Ireland and Rhode island. But this month is picking up on armchair travel.
ReplyDeleteI am often in South Korea these days, either with books or Kdrama.
ReplyDeleteThe year has gone by quickly at the end here. If you enjoyed what you read, you did well.

The end of this year is speeding by. There's really only three more weeks of December, and I don't know where November went. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteI think 15 books for November is amazing, especially with all of the holiday things happening. Having a hard time believing we're so close to the end of the year though...
ReplyDelete15 books in November is great! I managed 8 and was happy to have that many done. I'm really looking forward to reading The Mirror. Got to read the first book and am toying with the idea of waiting until #3 is out. Then no waiting....ha!
ReplyDeleteThese are still great numbers! And I agree, where did 2024 go? 👀
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Mirror!
