November Re-Cap

What a month November has been.  15 - 20 books total, depending on if you count the Forward Collection separately.  There were a few short (Novella length) ones, though.  None of my books were bad except maybe The Perfect Stranger...I didn't really care for that one.  I also DNF'd one book this month, Bid My Soul Farewell --Book 2 in the Give My Dark My Love series.  I just couldn't get into it, and I really tried, too.  Stand-outs were Star Wars Most Wanted, This is Our Story and The Unfortunates.  I also have really liked The Cruel Prince and Neverworld Wake.

November Re-Cap

While I only read a total of 10 books plus 1 novella this month, which is lower than what I've been reading lately, I've had some really good reads/listens this month. With the exception of one DNF, I only had 2 ratings under 4 and a half stars....so November has totally been a quality reading month over quantity.  I'll take that!  I also started a blog...again.  What can I say, I cannot make up my mind whether or not I want a blog or not.  So...we will see how this goes for me.
