November Book Report

November 2022

I finished 10 books last month.

Quotes from this month's reading:

“I think you have to have faith in people before they earn it. Otherwise it's not faith, right?” 
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

"Every relationship takes effort. As philosopher (and novelist) Alain de Botton once wrote, 'Choosing whom to commit ourselves to is merely a case of identifying which particular variety of suffering we would most like to sacrifice ourselves for.'" -- Laura Vanderkam, Off the Clock

Here is my progress toward various goals and challenges:

• 4 were non-fiction (toward my goal of 25 non-fiction books this year) and none counted specifically toward the NonFiction Reader Challenge 
• 1 was a book I own but hadn't read before (inspired by The Unread Shelf project)
• none was poetry (toward my goal of reading 4 poetry books this year)
• 2 counted toward the the 16th Canadian Reading Challenge
• 1 was from my Classics Club List and also counted toward Back to the Classics

• 2 could have counted toward the Cruisin' Through the Cozies challenge but I already finished that challenge
• none counted toward the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 
• none counted toward the Turtle Recall Challenge
• 2 counted toward the TBR Pile Challenge
• none were for my Century of Books project
