November 2020 ~ Themes Challenge

[Grey]

November 2020. Between politics and COVID-19, I'm ready to stick my head in the freezer until 2021... But this, right here, this is my happy place and books always make me happy. Sarah has chosen an apropos theme for this month. I need this in my life! I need the new!

November ~ Sarah's Choice ~ New to You ~ Pick a genre/trope that isn't your norm, or a new to you author.

This will be the discussion thread for all our November Challenge books we read this month. You can read as many as you'd like, but please let me know which one you're picking!

What we do need is for you to sign up, and let us know you intend to participate before the 5th of the month and then, (this is the important part), come back and let us how you rated it or what you thought of it before 1159 p.m. of the last day of the month. That's it. Pretty simple, really.

(The last time we did this, we all used our massive TBR piles and made it a rule that this was a TBR challenge...I'm forgoing that rule this time, because-fun! I want this to be fun and not a slog to get through, you know? However, you certainly can stick to that rule, if you want to.)

Each month that you participate and finish on/before the last day of the month, you will get your name added to a list that will be eligible to be randomly selected from at the beginning of 2021 for a $10 Amazon gift card.

*Pay no attention to this spoiler right now, this is just my list of who participated last month in alphabetical order...because my OCD compels me and this makes it slightly easier in the grand scheme of things, LOL!

I think I read that book a few times and then every other book by Hinton when I was in middle school/high school.


I'm also in and will add my selection soon.

It's up against Moonstruck in the cheesy 80s movie group, where you're supposed to be voting if you'd ever read my messages! 😆😐

I read it! I thought I had time. I'll go do it now.

You do have time! But my messenger shows you didn't read it so you're being sneaky!

[Sarah]

I’m in... Will be back with my choice!

[Melinda]

I’m in too.

[Catia]

I´m in. The book I will be reading is . I never read anything from this author and it´s also something i´m not used to read so...2 in 1

[Lisa]

I am going to read . New author to me (and from my town) and YA is one I don't usually search out.

[JudyCa]

I'm going to read A 'new to me' author ;)

[Nay]

I'm late, but I'm in. I have lots of new to me authors to choose from, but I'm going to see if I have a new to me genre/trope.

[Robin]

I actually finished a book! I read The Outsiders and gave it 5 stars, more for the facts surrounding it than the story itself. But I'm glad I read it finally!

[Grey]

I'm in, new to me... hmmm, I may try an audiobook again. But, I may also try a new to me author. I'm gonna search.

[T.]

I'm changing my pick. I still might read my previous choice, but this new to me author is also a BOTM for me. Two birds, one stone kind of thing.

True Story by Jayne Fresina

[Sarah]

I think I’ll read NTM author Danielle Allen (Broken Clocks).

[Lisa]

It pays to read something outside of your comfort zone every now and again. This one gets 4 stars from me and I will be looking for some more works by this author. Thanks for the Theme pick this month!!!

[Marta]

4* / new to me author

I was not expecting such an emotional book. When they got envolved so suddently, I thought that it was so early in the book, but by the end I understood!
This book really took me by surprise :)

[Sarah]

Broken Clocks is done. 4 stars.

[Melinda]

I decided to read the The Red Lounge by A Constanza
3 stars.

[JudyCa]

I finished really good 4*

[Catia]

Finished , it´s not really my type of book but actually i liked it and want to continue with the series and see what will happen next! Gave it 3 stars.

[Michele]

I actually completed my read of Ink on 11/14 with a 4 star rating but forgot to post it here. It’s one of the few things I accomplished this month :-)
