What Happened in November?

November is nearly over and would it really be a monthly wrap-up if I didn’t say I had yet another hectic month. I can’t believe that we are nearly at the end of 2019 already. How does time pass so quickly. Here is what happened in November!

This month has been a whirlwind for me when it comes to reading. I read a lot of books, way more than I expected to read. I read 3 novels this month and then 7 graphic novels! I read 6 of those graphic novels over the space of 3 evenings and I can’t quite believe it. Here is what I read in November!

• All the Bad Apples by Moïra Fowley-Doyle (Novel) 4★‘s
• The Lady Doctor by Ian Williams (Graphic Novel) 4★‘s
• The Bad Doctor by Ian Williams (Graphic Novel) 3★‘s

November was another excellent blogging month for me and I posted as much as I wanted to throughout the month. I love planning ahead when it comes to blogging and I already have all my December and January posts planned. I am getting better at scheduling posts ahead of time to make things a little easier for me too! I am fully in a blogging stride at the minute and I am loving blogging! Here are my top 5 posts for November.

• A Tour of the YA Section of the Library
• Must-Read 2019 YA Releases – Part One
• October Book Haul!
• Bringing YA to a Wider Audience
• The Places I’ve Cried in Public – Book Event Recap

Now we are nearing the end of the year and looking back on my reading goal I cannot believe how many books I have actually read this year. I am nearly at 80 books read this year and I would love to make it to 85 before we get to 2020! I am still putting aside £5 for every book I read this year and saving it all up. I don’t know what to do with this money just yet but I am so proud I have kept this up all year!

This month started with me going on a day out with my wonderful boyfriend David to a local town and its aquarium. I love going to places like zoos and aquariums with David because I always leave learning a lot of facts about the animals and wildlife they have there because he loves all that kind on thing!

This month was the month that I finally got a bookshelf for my room! That’s right, I finally own a bookshelf! I am going to be doing a tour of my shelf next month so keep an eye out for that.

I had a month filled with concerts and shows once again! I went to see Catfish and the Bottlemen in Liverpool with my sister and Dad. They were amazing as expected! Towards the end of the month I went to see McFly and boy am I glad they are back. They concert was beyond incredible! Then I went to see my favourite podcast live! I finally saw My Favorite Murder live and what an excellent night it was!

It wouldn’t be the end of the month if I didn’t attend my wonderful best friend’s LGBTQ+ book club. This month with Sarah and Sophie we read All the Bad Apples by Moïra Fowley-Doyle! I throughly enjoyed this book and loved talking about it with everyone!

That’s it November is over. I cannot wait to see what December holds. What has your November been like and what have you read? Let me know in the comments below!
