The Month That Was… November 2017

I have been so enjoying delving into backlist titles of late and one of my goals for next year is to read less of the new, shiny and popular books that so easily distract all of us. I started reading V.E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic books and I loved the fact I could pick up the next book straight away. I also finally read, and loved, Illuminae and continued with my reading of The Broken Earth trilogy. Sometimes it’s nice to read books that you know are good because people still talk about them ages after publication.

I think the part of my brain capable of review writing has gone into hibernation for the winter. I read two books for Nonfic November but didn’t blog about them and I didn’t do all the weekly prompts. I feel like I’ve been on a blogging break but somehow still had things on the blog.

I read 9 books last month although I haven’t reviewed most of them. I liked the act of writing reviews so I will try and get something up before the end of the year even though they are mostly personal reads.

I’ll shortly be posting my Science Fiction vs Fantasy Bingo Card for 2018! It’s going to be a low pressure challenge for anyone wishing to join in. Or I’ll just do it by myself! 😀

Here’s what made it onto the blog…
