Hi everybody, Welcome back to Reading, Reading, Reading!
In October I read a whopping eight books, but in November I only read one and half of two other books.
I was really busy this month with school and work, so I barely had anytime to read. I am also waiting for some ARCs and a huge Book Outlet package from Black Friday (haul should be up hopefully sometime in the next few weeks… if the package ever arrives…). Therefore, I wasn’t really motivated to read a ton in my free time. I know that December will be just as if not more busy than this month, but I have my winter break at the end of this month for two and a half weeks, so I plan on getting a ton of reading done then (more on that in a few weeks)!
The only full book I read this month was “Girls of Paper and Fire” by Natasha Ngan. I received this book from Hachette Book Group Canada, and posted my review of it a few weeks ago! You can read my review here. In short, I really enjoyed it and am very excited for the next book in the series!
(Sorry for the quick pic… I just took it now in school HAHA!)
I started “A Darker Shade of Magic” by V.E. Schwab a few days ago after I bought the complete box set from my new Chapters Indigo store, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit so far. The beginning was slow, but it is finally picking up. I am about half way thru the book as of 10:00AM on November 30th, so I will see how far I can get by the end of the day… maybe I’ll finish it!
Like I mentioned last month, I am reading 1984 by George Orwell with a group for a school project. I am more than half way thru and I am really enjoying it so far! The world keeps getting more interesting, and I’m really loving all of the characters. By January I should be finished the whole thing, so I still have a while to process all of the details.
Sadly, that is all I read this month. I should have a lot more books on my wrap-up for December, not only because I have some extra much needed free time, but also because I will have a lot of new books and ARCs to immerse myself in!
How many books did you guys read this month? What was your favourite book of the month? Did you write a wrap-up and post it on your blog? Let me know in the comments, I love talking to all of you!
Good Night Book Owls!
Reading, Reading, Reading 
I looooved Girls of Paper and Fire! I still need to read that VE Schwab series.
I thought it was excellent as well! A Darker Shade of Magic is very good so far, I hope you get around to it!
Loved A Darker Shade of Magic but it was a bit slow to start!
It’s really picking up now!! Thanks for your comment! 🙂
I have a vague memory of reading Orwell in high school – back in the dark ages 😉
Haha! I am really enjoying it so far!
Great wrap-up! I think a darker shade of magic was enjoyable but to me, it definitely didn’t live up to its expectations and I really don’t see where the hype is coming from, lol. I do found it enjoyable enough to want to read the second book and see where the story is going and how it’ll improve. Girl of Paper & Fire is very high up on my wishlist but I’m also scared to read it since it’s also already so hyped haha.
The story is actually picking up now, so I am excited to see where it continues! I totally understand what you said about the hype for GOP&F, but I totally understand the hype because it was a very good read!
I have been hearing so much about Girls of Paper and Fire and I guess I should get to it as well.
It’s definitely worth a read, I hope you get to it soon!
All 3 of those are on my TBR. I actually read more than normal this month. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my wrap up up soon.

I hope you get around to reading them soon! Congrats on a great reading month, I look forward to reading your wrap-up whenever you get around to writing it!
Looks like you had a fab month. I’ve always wanted to read 1984, one day when I get a break in my TBR list I’ll try it.
Thank you for your comment! 1984 is really great thus far, I hope you get around to reading it soon!
My book club picked 1984 as one of the books for 2019. I remember reading it when I was a teen and I’m excited to re-read it 🙂
That’s awesome! I’m loving it so far!! 🙂
I will read 1984 again. It has been some years and I have forgotten a lot of it.
I am really loving it so far! I hope you get around to reading it soon.
[…] plan on reading quite a few books this month. If you read yesterdays blog post (November Wrap-Up), you will know that I sadly only read just about 1 and 3/4 books. Since I have quite a bit of […]
