I cannot believe it, I have been book blogging for two months already! This venture started when I lost my job in the travel industry thanks to COVID 19. Originally it was something to keep me busy until I could go back to work. Now two months down the line, I am having so much fun with this there is no way I will give it up….. even if I end up going back to work.
I have met so many amazing people online and having more time to read means I am escaping reality even more now than I did before. I am loving it!
November turned out to be a rather average reading month for me, I did not read nearly as much as I hoped to, something I need to work on. Anyhow, here is a recap of the books that occupied my time this month.
Number 1
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (finished 02 November)– Alicia has been bugging me for almost a year to read this series and I have finally made a start on it. Yes, I wrote a review – however, reading this book made me decide to launch a young adult page and hand it over to Alicia to write the reviews. If you have not seen it yet, head on over and have a look.
Number 2
Merciless by Richard Montanari (finished 12 November) – I did not give this audiobook the time it deserved. It took me way to long to finish it. It was a good story and had I provided more time to it I am sure it would have been a lot more entertaining.
Number 3
November Book of the Month
The Searcher by Tana French (finished 14 November) – This was one of my Review copies from Penguin Random House South Africa. It was the first Tana French book I have read, and I just loved her writing style. The book was a lot slower than those I normally read providing me with a welcome change.
Number 4
The Searcher by Tana French (finished 14 November) – This was one of my Review copies from Penguin Random House South Africa. It was the first Tana French book I have read, and I just loved her writing style. The book was a lot slower than those I normally read providing me with a welcome change.
Number 5
Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi (finished 20 November) Alicia insists that this is her favourite book in the series, and I promised to read the series so as and when I have time I will fit these into my reading schedule – just for my sweet child.
Number 6
Mothers Don’t Lie – Jo Crow (finished 22 November) This book was an ARC from NetGalley – I have never heard of Jo Crow before but I like the book blub and wow I was blown away by this. I spent the rainy weekend snuggled up with this book and by Sunday afternoon it was done. I enjoyed this book and would day it was my favourite read of November.
Number 7
The Other Couple – Cathryn Grant (finished 29 November) Another ARC from NetGalley –
Seven Books for November – Guess I did not do as badly as I thought – I want too to aim for eight books next month, let see if I can meet that target. I might take a few days off from blogging during December, but reading is part of my daily routine, so there is no reason for me not to make it.
