November Wrap-Up & December TBR

December. Who wants to do my Christmas shopping for me? I've barely started. Thankfully I do a lot of it online because it's easier and less crowded. Thank God for online shopping. How was your November? Mine was alright. I honestly don't recall much of anything happening. We got the first big snow fall of the season. Which was way earlier than usual. So that was a piss off. Otherwise work got a lot busier which meant less time to actually blog(I do most of my blogging at work. Gold star employee here...). I did no carbs November. Which made me even more grumpier than usual. But no surprise, whenever I take out carbs my mood plummets. But my body appreciates it. So I guess it's a win in the end.
Reading wise, November was alright. I finished 17 books. Which isn't terribly fantastic for me. The end of the month saw me struggling to read. Just was in a mood. Honestly as I'm writing this I didn't think I'd read anything spectacular this month but than I went to look at the books I've read and realized that's a major lie. There's a few 5*, quite a few 4* and a few 3*. So pretty good actually. Apparently I just can't remember what I read this month. Anyhow, you just want to see what went down this month.

The Map to Everywhere(Pirate Stream #1) by Carrie Ryan 3.5*
The Walled City by Ryan Graudin 4.5*
The Retribution of Mara Dyer(Mara Dyer #3) by Michelle Hodkin 5*
The Woman Who Stole My Life by Marian Keyes 4.5*
Blue Lily, Lily Blue(The Raven Cycle #3) by Maggie Stiefvater 4*
Mockingjay(Hunger Games #3) by Suzanne Collins 5*(re-read)
Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma 5*
Fire With Fire(Burn For Burn #2) by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian 4*

Turns out I really loved my Kindle this month as well. I know I said I wanted to read all my review books. I obviously did not do that. But I read a pretty decent amount. *pats self on back* As for my favourite(as usual not including re-reads), I'd have to go with either The Retribution of Mara Dyer or Forbidden. Mara was a solid series ender and Forbidden was messed up but wonderful.

My December TBR includes a bunch of Christmas-y reads(of course). Which actually Samantha and I aren't technically doing any buddy reads, but we'll probably end up picking up a lot of the same Christmas type books. *high-five* I'm only committing myself to three review books(one being The Winner's Crime), but I'll definitely try to pick up more if I get through all the books I definitely want to read. There's a few new releases I'm excited for, but I'm not planning on picking them up right away. I need to get through my #60bookchallenge(post to come) first. That being said, there are two I will definitely be getting on release day(well they're already on pre-order); Wicked and This Shattered World. Here's my planned physical books for the month. 

How was your November? What are your most excited to read in December?

Happy reading!
