November 2023 Reading Wrap-Up

Looking at my November 2023 reading wrap-up, all I know is that my book cravings were all over the place this month! At least I found some new favorites and got to pick up a couple of highly anticipated titles.

Ever since the end of summer, I’ve been putting less pressure on myself to complete a packed TBR. Typically, my monthly list would consist of at least 16 books, but I went down to 10 and I knew I would be proud of myself if I was able to complete those. Needless to say, I laughed as I began writing this November 2023 reading wrap-up, because I flew through that initial list within the first couple of weeks and then managed to get through 14 more before the month came to an end!

I think my very favorite read of the month was The Unmaking of June Farrow. I just didn’t want it to end! I also absolutely adored several of the romances I picked up and it was super fun rereading This Vicious Grace to prep for the upcoming sequel, as well as The Second Chance Year which is quite possibly my top romance book of the year. I also reread Shiver because it’s been eons since I reread The Wolves of Mercy Falls! I also got a head start on my festive reads before the month came to an end.

Keep on scrolling to see everything I read during November, as well as what I have on my holly jolly TBR for December!
