November 2018 – Wrap Up.
November has been a bumper reading month for me. I must admit that a little bit of panic started to set in when I realised that there were only a few weeks left in the year and I still had 12 books to read in order to meet my Goodreads reading challenge. So, a few short reads were chosen this month and I’ve managed to get quite a few read off my TBR (To Be Read) pile.
Let’s take a look shall we.
In order, I read:
Michael Connelly, 'Dark Sacred Night'.
My rating: 4 Stars
Bill Cunningham, 'Fashion Climbing: A Memoir with Photographs'.
My rating: 3 Stars
Toni Jordan, 'The Fragments'.
My rating: 4 Stars
Michael Redhill, 'Bellevue Square'.
My rating: 2 Stars
Reinhard Kleist, 'Nick Cave Mercy On Me'.
My rating: 3 Stars
Sue Grafton, 'O is for Outlaw'.
My rating: 3 Stars
Tom Hanks, 'Uncommon Type: Some Stories'.
My rating: 4 Stars
William Giraldi, 'Hold the Dark'.
My rating: 4 Stars
Gillian Flynn, 'The Grownup'.
My rating: 4 Stars
Michael Connelly, 'The Safe Man'.
My rating: 5 Stars
Janet Evanovich, 'Look Alive 25'.
My rating: 3 Stars
There’s a bit of a mixed bag here with some familiar favourites of mine, Michael Connelly, Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich being three of the authors I’ve read the most of in the last few years, and who I return to time after time with the knowledge that I will enjoy the read at the very least. Plus there have been a couple of newly found authors, a graphic novel, some short stories and a short memoir.
The ratings I have given are my Goodreads star ratings and I have added short reviews for each of the entries there. I’m also planning to choose one or two stand out reads for the month in a separate post to come in the next week.
How many books did you read this month? Do you set yourself reading goals for the year? Are you on track?
Let me know if you’ve read any of these books or if you’re planning too. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Until next time, happy reading!
Susanne
