Unusually for me I started a lot of series this month so just one standalone.

Stand Alone Monthly Challenge
Duration: November 1, 2018 - November 30, 2018

Solo: Read 1-2 books

1. Slade House by David Mitchell 05/11/18 (This is debatable as a stand-alone as it involves characters from some of Mitchell's other books but it's not listed as part of any series so I think it counts)
