I read 13 books last month, and I’m 10 books away from my Goodreads goal for the year of 150 books. I should definitely reach that during December.

Here are the books I read in November:

The Revenge of Seven by Pittacus Lore (5 / 5)
Dog Tags by David Rosenfelt (4 / 5)
The Black Circle by Patrick Carman (4.5 / 5)
What’s So Funny? by Tim Conway with Jane Scovell (5 / 5)
Mr. Lemoncello’s Fantabulous Finale by Chris Grabenstein (5 / 5)
Anne of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery (4 / 5)
An Honorable Deception by Roseanna M. White (5 / 5)
World of Warcraft, v. 3 by Walter Simonson & Louise Simonson (4 / 5)
The Clue in the Diary by Carolyn Keene (4 / 5)
Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson (3 / 5)
Lord Edgware Dies by Agatha Christie (4.5 / 5)
The Dead of Night by Peter Lerangis (4.5 / 5)
One Dog Night by David Rosenfelt (review pending)

This list includes 2 ARCs and 2 re-reads. My favorite book from November was really hard to pick, so I’m going with a tie between Mr. Lemoncello’s Fantabulous Finale and An Honorable Deception, with an honorable mention for What’s So Funny? (which, being non-fiction, is difficult to compare to fiction). I started 1 series, continued 7 series, and finished 3 series. My ever-changing short list of to-be-reads, as well as a flag for the book I’m currently reading and an ongoing list of those I’ve read and posted about can be found here.

I’m also keeping my Goodreads page updated with a more extensive list of to-be-reads. Despite my almost too-long TBR list, I’m always looking for more to add. Feel free to offer suggestions of your favorites or just recent reads you enjoyed.

I read 15 books last month, my 2nd-highest count for the year, and almost exactly matching the page count in February, during which I also read 15 books. I didn’t really feel like I read more last month than the several months before it, but apparently I had a lot of time to listen to audiobooks, since they account for 7 of the 15.

I read 12 books last month, about average for me. Though there were quite a few short books, so my actual amount of reading is on the low side, with the 2nd-lowest page count so far this year (even lower than last month, when running VBS caused me to read less than normal). I have no explanation for this, except perhaps the higher workload I’ve had this month.
