November wrap up! I haven’t done one of these in

November wrap up! I haven’t done one of these in a long time. Mostly because I didn’t read enough books to warrant a pile at the end of the month, and also because I forgot a lot of the time 😝

#NonfictionNovemberReadathon was successful! I read 5 nonfiction books, 4 of which were on my TBR. I fell off towards the middle/end of nonfiction November and instead read some YA and romance. A good mix, I’d say!

#NonfictionNovember reads:
- Becoming by Michelle Obama
- Crying at H Mart by Michelle Zautner
- You Got Anything Stronger? by Gabrielle Union
- 9/11, the Day the World Came to Town by Jim Defede
- Thr Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

YA and romance:
- The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams
- Like a Love Song by Gabriela Martins
- When We Were Infinite by Kelly Loy Gilbert

A really strong reading month for me! Have you read any of these? Any on your list?

Do you lend out your books? I do! I love lending

Do you lend out your books?

I do! I love lending my library out to folks. I just lent my sister the sequel to Hank Green’s An Absolutely Remarkable Thing even though I haven’t read it yet. (Knowing me, it will take me a year to get to it anyway…) It’s a signed copy so it better make its way back to me 😂

How about you?

Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is a hilarious, slaps

Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is a hilarious, slapstick comedy of a book. Finlay is a divorced mother and a writer of middling crime novels. When she meets with her agent in a Panera and talks about killing her victims, an overhearing woman offers her a substantial amount of money to kill her husband.

I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this. Something darker, I suppose. But it’s lighthearted, even when dealing with murder, and Finlay is a riot. I laughed out loud reading this one! I’m definitely looking forward to the sequel.

Have you read this one?

Watch Over Me by Nina Lacour is the sparse, gothic

Watch Over Me by Nina Lacour is the sparse, gothic ghost novel I expected from the author. That is to say, as soon as I started reading it and realized the main character Mila was an orphan who was going to live on a communal farm in the middle of a cold moor, filled with ghosts, I knew I was in. This book is lightly haunting, with nods to du Maurier (Mila even buys a book by the author), and hit all the delicious gothic notes I wanted. It was also short, so it felt very clean and succinct, streamlined prose that I very much enjoyed.

It’s interesting to see authors really get into their groove (for lack of a better word). This is the same author who wrote the more commercial friendly Everything Leads To You, which was a stellar YA novel. But as they have gotten deeper into their career they can write books like this one, which I feel is probably very niche.
