November Wrap-Up & December TBR Pile

November was my first complete month as a book blogger and I have been having a great time. I love posting my little reviews and participating on all the fun blog hops that make this such a wonderful and supportive community. I also broke the 100 follower barrier, which was exciting for me. I'm looking forward to many more months of blogging and book fun. Thanks to everyone who has joined me on this journey :)

For December, I have a ton of books I want to catch up on because I'm feeling waaaaay behind. I'm trying to step it up a bit this month, but my list may be a bit too ambitious. Plus, I'm a moody reader, so we'll just have to see how things go...

November TBR Pile

I know I'm doing NaNoWriMo this month, but I still have books that I want to read. I'm going to try and slow down my reading so I can make sure I'm setting aside time for writing. I'm also a moody reader, and although I keep a running list of books I plan to read, I'm easily distracted by shiny objects (aka, new book recommendations or books that fit my current mood), and books are bumped around the list frequently. But I have every "penciled-in" intention of reading these books this month. With that said, here's my proposed To Be Read list for the month of November:

Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick (I've already started)
The Marriage Mistake by Jennifer Probst
Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
Naturally, Charlie by S.L. Scott
Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa
Toxic by Jus Accardo
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

(I'll line through the books once I've read them.)
