November Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here.
Well, I was not as successful at reading in November as I had originally hoped, especially since I had planned to read a bunch of novellas and some short novels. I was also hoping to get a decent amount written for PaWriCo, so I’ll have my November writing check-in tomorrow or the day after.
Overall I’m glad that I still managed to do some reading and some writing. Because I definitely struggled after the election results came in. Oh, speaking of, I have definitely been purchasing a bunch of books, so perhaps I’ll do a November Book Haul post soon as well.
Anyway…I finished four books, so let’s quickly talk about that.
Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins IV #4 by Matthew Mercer, Jody Houser, Noah Hayes, Diana Sousa, and Ariana Maher — 5 stars
Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh — 4.5 stars
The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch — 4.5 stars
Waterworld: Volume 5 – Sara Rowan by Rachel Kelley — 4 stars
Sadly, that’s all for finished reads. I was spending a little more time on writing this month…but I also was just finding it difficult to focus on reading or to stick with just one book or two until I finished.
So, because I don’t want this to be a super short post……here’s the books I’m in the middle of reading…
In the Shadow of the Fall by Tobi Ogundiran — So, I had fully planned on trying to read a good number of novellas in the month of November, and that obviously didn’t happen, but this is the novella that I currently have in a book sleeve in my work bag. I haven’t made it far into it yet, but I imagine when I do give it more than a couple minutes of reading time, I’m going to fly through it.
The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong — Ah yes, I was very excited about this one and spent some of my B&N rewards on getting a copy of it….So far I’ve only read a couple chapters, and this is also in the book sleeve in my work bag. I need to finish reading this though. I need more cozy books in my life.
The Heartbreak Show by Jesikah Sundin — I’m very excited about this release as well. Again, I’ve only finished a couple chapters, but I’m sure I’m going to fly through it. Cian and Glenna are entertaining characters.
The Study of Fire by Maria V Snyder — Finally, I’ve only barely opened this. Yes, I already know the story, because I read the books back in college…but this is the same story but through the MMC’s POV, which means expanded story from all the time that the MMC and FMC were separated. I have absolutely adored getting Valek’s POV, and I need to just give myself a couple hours of free time to read and I’m sure I’ll have this finished.
Hopefully December will be a nice end to my reading year. It’s been pretty hit or miss on how my reading has been going (not in terms of book enjoyment, because I’m still reading a lot of good, really good, and great books. It’s more in quantity read each month).
Anyway, that is all from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
