Hello everyone! Today’s post will be my November 2017 Wrap-Up. It’s mindblowing that it’s already December. This year has flown by so quickly!
I limited myself to 3 books for my TBR in November. The books from top to bottom are: The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater (re-read); Zodiac (Zodiac, #1) by Romina Russell (re-read); and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Illustrated by Jim Kay) by JK Rowling.
I didn’t get around to reading my TBR at all last month. Which I’m very disappointed about, but I’m not going to let that bring me down. I read other books that were fairly interesting, so that in and of itself is pleasing.
Last month I read 7 books, gained 7 books. I reviewed 14 books, and posted 6 bookish-related posts.

Thoughts from this November:
[11.06] The Becoming of Noah Shaw (by Michelle Hodkin) is out tomorrow and I’m really looking forward to reading it!!
[11.13] I’ve been at my brothers house for a full day now, since I’m house-sitting while he and his wife are on their long-awaited honeymoon. I’ve got to say: What I thought would happen VS. What is actually happening, are two totally different things and I am so, so lonely. I want to go home to my room. I want to go home to my cat, to my family. I am such a homebody lolol.
[11.18] I came back home early and I’m honestly so relieved. I am such a homebody. I’m also wanting my Japanese classes to go by faster? I’m ready for a break.
[11.20] omg, I got an email this morning saying that the manga I have out from one of my libraries is like, a week over due. I have 5 freaking books overdue, and I won’t be able to return them until tomorrow, which means that the books will be 8 days over due, and that’s .10 cents per book, per day. I hate paying book fines. Agghh, why didn’t I check the online site sooner?!
How was your November?
