Monthly Wrap-up: November

This has been the hardest month I’ve had this year due to lots of family health problems which has seen two of my brothers in hospital, a cousin with a terminal cancer diagnosis, and my mum undergoing tests for suspected cancer – now it’s the interminable 2-week wait! I’ve also been visiting my mother-in-law in hospital but, with a 6 hour round-trip on a Saturday, it’s been hard to find time to read. Meanwhile, my hectic school life continues … but at least Christmas is nearly here!

Books I’ve read:

I’ve read 12 books this month. My highlights were Swanfall and Silent Night (both middle-grade) and The Book of Witching (adult).

NetGalley:

My feedback ratio is at 98%. I requested one book in November which is a young adult book that I’m really excited to read as I loved The Spellshop, an adult book by the same author.

Books sent by publishers:

I am grateful to have been sent 9 books by publishers this month.

Books Bought:

I’ve bought 9 books this month. Hopefully, I’ll find time to read some of them over Christmas!

How has your reading month been? Have you read any of these? Have you any of them on your TBR?

  1. I’m so sorry to see that you are having such a stressful time with illness in your family Mary. It must be difficult to deal with, especially as this time of year is so busy at school. I’m sending very best wishes to you & your family members 😘

    1. Thank you Veronica! 💚 I’m so looking forward to having a break over Christmas but that necessitates getting all my planning and prep done this week as well as surviving the wonderful mayhem that is Christmas week in school! Hope you are keeping well Veronica – have a wonderfully, relaxing Christmas! 🎄😘
