Time to say goodbye to another month. This week has been a bit hectic for me what with networking and other job hunt related things that I feel like I am more than ready for a weekend break. Of course, I’m thinking about how December is upon us and that usually flies by with all of the holiday happenings but I’m going to try and take deep breaths, relax and hopefully look forward to some great books.

November was a great reading month even though when I was thinking back to books read for a moment I thought I hadn’t made much progress but I finished five books in November and they were:

The Nearness of You by Dorothy Garlock
Three Floors Up by Eshkol Nevo
The Loving Husband by Christobel Kent
Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
The Folded Clock by Heidi Julavits

The only one I wasn’t too fond of was The Loving Husband. My favorite of all these was definitely Three Floors Up by Eshkol Nevo. I have another of his books on my shelves so I’m excited to read more by this author. And, I know you are tired of me saying, I’m behind on reviews but I am! My goal is to get all my mini reviews done in the month of December. We’ll see how that goes.

I have some bookish fun to look forward to in December as my book group celebrates the end of the year with a little dinner and book exchange. There are also new reading challenges to make, take stock of the whole year and plan for the next. I can’t believe that’s so soon. As if that weren’t enough, I just saw a list on Book Riot about the 101 Books to look forward to in 2018. Ack, my reading list just exploded.

Anyway, I hope you have a fabulous weekend and let me know what you are looking forward to in December!

It’s time to wrap up Nonfiction November and this week’s topic is hosted by Lory at Emerald City Book Review: It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books! Which ones have made it onto your TBR? Be sure to link back to the original blogger who posted about that book!

I haven’t had a chance to read as many nonfiction books as I would have liked – actually I’m still trying to finish one! But, my TBR list has definitely gotten longer. Here are just a few of the books that I’ve added to my list.

The Radium Girls by Kate Moore via Kim at Time 2 Read
Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann via Kim at Sophisticated Dorkiness
Option B by Sheryl Sandberg via Stacey at Unruly Reader
The Getaway Car by Ann Patchett via Sarah at Sarah’s Bookshelves
Code Girls by Liza Mundy via Susie at Novel Visits
My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor via CurlyGeek at The Book Stop
Bellevue by David Oshinsky via JoAnn at Lakeside Musing

I’ve really enjoyed participating in this event. Got to “meet” new book bloggers, read some great book reviews and got excited about reading nonfiction. Thank you to the hosts:
