Share all the books you read this past month by rounding them all up here and then pick your favorite out of all the books you read in November 2021! I've seen people do this on blogs and on social media and I think it gives you a great sense of accomplishment as well as just serves as a way to reflect on what you read in the last month.

Wishing Spell (land of stories)
Natsume’s book of friends book 7
The last days of Lady Cordelia (Beaumont and Beasley)
Inkspell ( Inkheart)
Haikyu 29 and 30

Yayy!!!

Oh dear... here goes...



Amulet was an amazing series!! And Edgar Allan Poe's writings are pretty cool!

All Quiet on the Western Front (5 stars, I read most of this in Nov. so I’m counting it lol)
Rip Van Winkle (4 stars)
ReDawn (4 stars)
Gilded (3.5 stars)
Cytonic ( 5 stars)
My favorite was definitely Cytonic!!

~currently reading

Really enjoyed(enjoying) all of them!~ favorite would be The Heir and the Spare <3

Divine
I re-read The Hero's Lot
I re-read The Goose Girl
The Priest: Aaron
and a few others that I cant think of rn

Guys. . . don't kill me. . . I read one book this month :(
Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson. Obviously, that's my favorite one I've read, too.
And in my defence, school was overworking me.

Lol!! Know one is judging!

It's okay! No one's gonna judge :)

Books I read in November:

Cress
Death Wind (my GR shows that I’m currently reading this; I actually finished it a couple days ago but haven’t gotten around to marking it as read :P )
War Bound
Magic and the Shinigami Detective
Andersen’s Fairy Tales
The Great Lab Escape
Six O'clock
Playing Hearts
Entranced
Dearest Josephine
The Sleeper and the Spindle

It’s so hard to choose a favorite! I loved reading more in the Elven Alliance series (War Bound and Death Wind), but my favorite would have to be either Cress or Dearest Josephine.

The Last Days of Lady Cordelia!! Love that one!

Yeah! It was really good!!!

were they good? i've been wanting to read that series

I didn’t read a ton this month, only 2 1/2 books 🙈

The Fellowship of the Ring (reread) 5 stars, The Two Towers (reread) 5 stars, and half of Eldest by Christopher Paolini. Not sure how many stars I’d give it yet, it’s definitely not my favorite so far, but it isn’t too terrible.

Well, LotR takes time to read! I probably wouldn't be able to read a lot of other books while reading LotR either!

I didn't read a whole lot this month (a trend for me lately...)
Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh
The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson (a re-read)
The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord
Harriet Tubman: The Moses of Her People by Sarah H. Bradford

I think my favourite would have to be the Beautiful Pretender by a small margin, The Start of Me and You was also quite good. What I'm currently reading totally outshines all these though, by far.

I read 13 Treasures, 13 Curses, Save The Cupcake, Survivor Girl, Bounders, The Vanderbeekers Make A Wish, I re-read a couple of the Harry Potter books, Percy Jackson and The Olympians 1-5, The Hideaway, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, and I re-read The Hunger Games. That's all I can think of now.

I also didn't read as much this month (although the number of books I have checked out from the library is embarrassing)

Lore Olympus: Volume One by Rachel Smythe
These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan
Reread The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis <3
Bright Burns the Night by Sarah B. Larson

Lewis is probably my favorite :) I can't recommend These Hollow Vows in good conscience. Some of the romance went a bit too far imo.

Girl, there are months I'm LUCKY to get one book in, so definitely no judging here!

^^^ I third this!!! Kestra and Simon were awesome!

Carsie wrote: "Traitors Game is pretty good. Simon and Kestra are hilariously great XD."

I neeeed to read that series! I just can't seem to get my hands on the books!

... that's why I put them on my Christmas list *evil laugh*

Lol!!!

Okay books I read in November.

The Deep End Lost Girl Unknown and 24 Hour Lockdown

I think my favorite out of these would either be The Deep End or Unknown. They're all so completely different it's SO hard to pick just one. XD

I read The Shattered Castle and Life Just Got Real

They were both 5 star reads!

November reads:

>House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones (3/5 stars)
>Specter of the Past by Timothy Zahn (4.5/5 stars)
>Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn (5/5 stars)
>Strayborn by E.E. Rawls (4/5 stars)
>The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner (3.5/5 stars)

My favorite was definitely Vision of the Future, but Specter of the Past and Strayborn were pretty great, too!

Let's see. The Bronze Bow and the Ordinary Princess (which was short). I love both!

A total of 12 for November!! I couldn't tell you which was my most favorite, pretty much all of them were good.

It was super good! It was a Sleeping Beauty retelling with Christian values.

Regretting You
Wonder
Clockwork Prince

Clockwork Prince was probably my favorite although it had me very tore up!
