November Book Report

Manchester, NH Fall 2023

I finished 13 books last month.

A quote from this month's reading:

“The fact that we often judge the pleasure of an experience by its ending can cause us to make some curious choices.”
― Daniel Gilbert, Stumbling on Happiness

Here is my progress toward various goals and challenges:

• 1 was a book I own but hadn't read before (inspired by The Unread Shelf project)
• 1 counted toward the 16th Canadian Reading Challenge 
• 1 was from my Classics Club List 
• none counted toward the TBR Pile Challenge
• none counted toward the 2023 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 
• none counted toward the 2023 What's in a Name Challenge
• 3 were from my Readers' Advisory Reading List 
• 5 were from the mystery series I am trying to make progress on this year (3 different series)
