I can't believe it's December already, this year has gone super quick! But, we're not here to talk about the end of the year just yet, were here to talk about what I read in November.
Last month I took part in the Mythothon which was a month long readathon. Check out some of my earlier posts for more details. I did okay I managed to read 7 books and I'm halfway through 2 others and they covered 7 out of the 25 prompts. 7 books in a month is actually quite good for me so I was pleased with my achievement.
Here is my wrap up of the books I read in November.

How many books did you read this month? What was your favourite?
My reading list seems so bland compared to yours! ;)

ReplyDeleteGreat books. I loved Illuminae.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection! I probably do not have time or room for more books, but I will try.
ReplyDeleteI read Jen Campbell's book it was super strange. The others look good too.
