Can you believe that November is over? I seriously can’t. I know I say this every month, but November felt like it just flew by. This month I spent the majority of it reading some fantastic books. Seriously, this was one of my favorite reading months. I honestly don’t think I’m going to be able to choose a favorite because there were so many amazing books!
As I always say, I want to tell you all how much I appreciate you. The fact that I have readers and subscribers on this blog still blows my mind. I appreciate you all. You keep me going. When I quit Barnes & Noble, I was so worried that I would NEVER get to talk books again. I’m so thankful that I found a way to share my suggestions and make amazing friends along the way!
As most readers know, our reading habits vary from month to month. I’m doing these monthly wrap-ups because the Ravenclaw in me LOVES all the statistics! So without further ado, here are my stats for November!

Favorite book of the Month: Get a Life, Chloe Brown was one of the best books I have read this year. I loved this book so much I still have yet to put into words how much I loved it. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. The sarcasm was brilliant, the characters relatable, and the love story is beautiful. This is worth the read. FYI, the narrator is AMAZING!
Honorable mentions go to The Dare by Harley LaRoux & Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West & Hook by Gina L. Maxwell. These books were amazing and all of these books were some of my favorites from this year! November obviously was one of the best months this year!
November really was all about awesome books for me too! I love seeing your totals – I’m planning to start tracking all that in January.
I love tracking because it helps me look back and I love all of the data I get!!
I wanna read the bromance book club.
I really enjoyed it!
Ooh, I love the stats! It must be a Ravenclaw thing. I might start keeping a better record so I can see stats at the end of the month too!
I LOVE getting all of the stats! I’m currently redoing my reading log so that I can make it more “me” and I can get more stats!
Very nice list. I wish I could do this but I read two to three books in a month only. 🙁
You can still do something like this! Numbers really don’t matter so long as you’re having fun. 🙂
Get a Life, Chloe Brown just got moved up in my calendar after seeing this
You’re in for such a fun time! Hands down one of the best romances I have read.
I love how you break everything down so you can see exactly how your month (and year) has gone! Great idea 🙂
Thanks! I am using a reading log that Book Riot put out (and then deleted for some reason)! I’m currently redoing it to customize it to me!
That’s so good to hear you’ve had a great reading month! As a fellow Ravenclaw I also love those stats and I find them super interesting! I’m planning on starting to record all that in more detail as of Jan 1 so I can see what I read etc
Good luck! I’m currently using a reading log that Book Riot put out last year (and then deleted). I’m about to customize it to myself though. I have a lot more data I want.
I have a coupl of examples saved so I’ll be creating my own based on what I like in each of those. It’ll be interesting to see how I go 🤣🤣
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Kudos to a great reading month. I hope December will be just as great.
Thanks! Me too!
Great post it looks like you had a great reading month in November too I love reading wrap-ups as well. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
November definitely was a great month!
You look like you had a great month. November really flew by. Here’s to a great December too.
Thanks!! November definitely was one of the best months!
I totally get why you DNF’ed The Starless Sea, I was very disappointed too. I got The Bromance book club over the weekend and I’m really curious now!
You’re in for such a treat!
Great month and impressive stats.
Thanks!!
9 books is a good month.
It definitely was a great month!
