November 2017 in Reflection - Best and Worst Reads

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Let's reflect on the best and worst of the previous month's books.....

I know I can get so focused on what is next that I forget about all the wonderful books I read for the previous month's challenges! Can we just pause a moment and mourn that November is over? That the last month of the year is here? Seriously?! Where has time flown? Does anyone but me remember the Big Bang Theory episode where Leonard says the world is spinning too fast and Raj slows it down for him - granted they were stoned on pot laced cookies - But that is how I feel All. The. Time! OK, I've got that off my chest. Now that we are over our Thanksgiving hangovers and before we get too wrapped up in the upcoming holiday prep - what did you love in November? Anything new you are looking forward to in December? Or is it all Hallmark movies, holiday stories and hot cocoa for you?


Did you discover some gems last month? DNF a few? Find your new book boyfriend or a heroine who personifies TSTL? Come on, we all want to know! What were your standouts for November? Anything exciting planned for December?

Wow, as I was scrolling through my read list I saw some many books that I loved! I only gave five stars to three of them though - Wicked Abyss, Royally Endowed and Chasing Christmas Eve! I loved all of those! But close on their heels were Good Boy and Stay, The Player, Ride Wild, The Trouble with Love, Fighting Shadows and Hard Wood. And yes, that is most of the books I read last month! I couldn't leave one of them out!

No duds, just a couple that I could leave off that list above - overall a really good month!!

Now it's time to bring on the cheesy holiday stories!!

I loved Becoming A Vincent and Going Wild. I can't wait for the next book! These two were recommended in an FB group that I am a part of but I can't remember who recommended them. :(

That's too bad - it's always good to remember someone with similar tastes to help find new books!

I had two 5-Star books in November:


Most of the books I read in November were 3 - 4 star. My lowest was one I rated 2.5 Stars. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't that great.

My favorites from November were and ....both fun, sweet and romantic :)

No clunkers in November, just a few more that were good.
