After the amount of reading that I did last month, November was a little slow. I finished 10 books in November and unlike October, it was a nice range of romance, YA and historical fiction. I spoke recently about my changes in reading habits, and November was a great month to show the diverse range of books that I am now reading. Anyway, let’s get onto the wrap-up.  

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling: I am currently re-read Harry Potter through audiobook. I’ve spoken about this before briefly, but it’s a whole new experience listening to the series. It’s like I am reading it for the first time again and it is magical | 4.5 Stars

The Pearl Thief by Fiona McIntosh: Every since I started at my job I’ve heard a lot about Fiona McIntosh, but none of her books really caught my eye. Until, her most recent one. The Pearl Thief is set in 1963 but includes flashbacks to WWII. It’s haunting, beautiful and looks at an interesting side of WWII. At times it’s hard to read not going to lie, but it’s also captivating. | 4.5 Stars

One Small Thing by Erin Watt:  It was fun at times but is also very emotional. One Small Thing explores the notions of forgiving, coming of age and family. It delves deep into the lives of teens that shows both the horrors and breathtaking moments of becoming an adult. I do wish that there was more depth to the lead characters of Beth and Chase. Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading their story. There are many ups and downs to this novel and if you want a quick read that is a little different then this is for you | Full Review. 3.5 Stars 

Butterface by Avery Flynn: I enjoyed Butterface by Avery Flynn. It was an easy read, that explores not the typical romance. Thought it does utilize classic romance tropes to move the story forward. Gina and Ford were both interesting characters that gave the story substance. | Full Review 3 Stars

Muffin Top by Avery Flynn: I really liked Muffin Top by Avery Flynn. It was engaging, entertaining and had me wanting more. I loved that family was a really big theme of this novel and much of the Hartigan series. Lucy and Frankie were hot on fire, and that just made the novel that more sweet. If you are looking for a romance novel, that you can just fall into, then this is for you | Full Review  4 Stars

Love Restored by Carrie Ann Ryan: Last month I started reading Carrie Ann Ryan books and really enjoyed what I was reading. The Gallagher Brothers novels are apart of the world that Carrie created. This first one was emotional as hell. I wasn’t prepared for what had happened and gosh the tears poured out of me | 4 Stars

Passion Restored by Carrie Ann Ryan: This one was my least favourite in the trilogy. I just wasn’t able to connect with both protagonists as much as other novels. I did enjoy the romance though. It was intense and full of passion – no pun intended | 3 Stars 

Hope Restored by Carrie Ann Ryan: As the first in this trio, this one was very emotional. It dealt with more heavier themes than other romances or any of the books in Carrie Ann Ryan’s world – but that also made it really enjoyable and captivating. I adored the protagonists of this one so much and gosh they were cute. | 4 Stars  

A Gathering of Shadows by V. E Shwab: I ended up re-reading this one in November, I am not even sure why. I was feeling like it. I wanted to read a fantasy but wasn’t sure what to pick up, so since I re-read the first one a little while ago, I decided this was the perfect opportunity | 4 Stars 

And that was my November! What did you read in November? Did we read any of the same books? Let’s Chat!
