Sorry, I was out of town and didn't think about the fact that the month changed in respect to this post.
I finished several books while I was gone, so...
I read two graphic books. One a history that was excellent, the other a novel that could be considered a waste of my time. Kent State Four Dead in Ohio by Derf Backderf Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio and Ohio Is For Sale by Jon Allen Ohio Is For Sale. For the latter, I was enticed by the title since I'm lived my entire life in Ohio. I also finished John Lithgow's latest A Confederacy of Dumptys Portraits of American Scoundrels in Verse (Dumpty, #3) by John Lithgow A Confederacy of Dumptys: Portraits of American Scoundrels in Verse and I listened to Patsy by Nicole Y. Dennis-Benn Patsy.

I'm now reading Free A Child and a Country at the End of History by Lea Ypi Free: A Child and a Country at the End of History and listening to Midnight in Washington How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could by Adam Schiff Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could

Because I was slow starting the December thread, Brittany posted twice for December in the November thread.

I hope all have a peaceful December.

Britany, no reason to apologize. Feel free, if I miss the boat, to start a new thread.
I was all caught up in NYC and seeing To Kill a Mockingbird

I felt I should be the one to say, "I'm sorry."

Britany | 826 comments Oh never worry about it Linda! Moderating is tough work, especially while on a lovely vacation! Hope you enjoyed the show and NYC. :)

Will continue reading Hollow Kingdom Hollow Kingdom (Hollow Kingdom, #1) by Kira Jane Buxton and hope to get started on a few others Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart and The Midnight Library by Matt Haig now that the term is over.

I loved Hollow Kingdom. Decided I wanted to read more from that author.

Julie M (woolyjooly) | 315 comments I finished two long books this month, or was it November for the first one?
The Rose Code by Kate Quinn by Kate Quinn
and
The Madness of Crowds (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #17) by Louise Penny by Louise Penny.
I'm still short of my 2021 GR challenge but may get to one more short one by one of my favorites:
Hallelujah Anyway Rediscovering Mercy by Anne Lamott
Happy holidays everyone!
