November 2014 – Monthly Review
I finally caught up on review books last month, so this was a big month for digging into my TBR pile and reading books that I have had for a while and really wanted to read. It was fun to be able to choose whatever book I wanted to read, rather than having to plan out which review books I was going to read.
This month I read 28 books. You can see the reviews for all of them, which ones were my favorite, etc. below.
All of my reading challenges are complete for the year!
Hope you all had a great month of reading!
