🍂 What We’re Reading, as the year winds down! (November 2025 Edition)

Welcome to the November edition of our beloved “What Are You Currently Reading?” thread — your fireside, fuzzy-socks, let’s-slow-down-a-bit check-in for the month.

Whether you’re:
🦃 Settling in with family dramas, heartwarming tales, or small-town cozies
🍁 Chasing the last thrill before winter with a mystery, memoir, or emotional gut-punch
☕️ Using books as your excuse to hide from holiday prep (no judgment — same)
📚 Or just wrapping up unfinished reads before the year ends...

This is your space to share what’s filling your quiet moments — whether it’s on your nightstand, queued up on your Kindle, or keeping you company through long, dark evenings in audiobook form.

💬 Jump in with:
• What you’ve just started or just finished
• A quote or line that’s stuck with you
• Your one-sentence “cranberry sauce” review — tart, sweet, or totally unexpected
• How your fall reading plans are holding up (smooth sailing or TBR chaos?)

✨ This thread will stay open all month, and we’ll refresh again in December!

🆕 Bonus Fun:
→ Weekly Author Appreciation: Join us in celebrating (or gently side-eyeing) a different author every week.
→ Monthly Theme Chat: November’s theme is Nonfiction That Reads Like Fiction — perfect for readers who love true stories told with heart, humor, and a little narrative flair.
