Bye, November!
What a crazy reading month! I just started really getting back into reading in October, so I decided to push myself in November and I think I succeeded! I took part in two readathons, read eleven books and did not finish (DNF) four.
November didn't go to plan, because there really wasn't a plan. I decided to try a readathon and I quickly fell down the reading rabbit hole. How did I read 10 books?! It wasn't like they were little guys either. The smallest was 208 pages, and that was a manga. Most were 400+ pages, so I'm super proud of myself, especially since only 4/10 books were re-reads, so jumping headfirst into new releases was pretty scary.
So much good happened. I found lots of new books I adore, I joined Twitter and have met some wonderful people, AND I was given some ARCs (advance reader copies)! I have less than 50 twitter followers and (barely) a blog, so to say that I was flabbergasted is an understatement. A couple of the books I hadn't heard of and thought sounded interesting, but the big whammy for me was the fact that I was approved for Heart of Flames by Nicki Pau Preto. If you've read my Crown of Feathers review you'll know how much I adored that book, so being chosen to read Heart of Flames actually had me walking around going "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN" for the afternoon. I will have reviews for all the books I was given once I read them.
I'm really looking forward to December now. The holidays are coming, new books are being released and I have a whole list of books being read!
How did your November reading go? Did you find some new books or cozy up with some old favorites?
