Killing November
Killing November | Adriana Mather
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Hang a Witch comes a thriller set at a secretive boarding school where students are trained to carry on family legacies that have built--and toppled--empires. November is trapped. At the mysterious Academy Absconditi, a school that's completely off the grid, there's no electricity, no internet, and a brutal eye-for-an-eye punishment system. Classes include everything from knife-throwing and poisons to the art of deception. And the other students? All children of the world's most elite strategists, in training to become assassins, spies, and master manipulators. November Adley doesn't know why she's been sent to this place, or the secrets that make up its legacy, but she'll quickly discover that allies are few in a school where competition is everything. When another student is murdered, all eyes turn to November, who must figure out exactly how she fits in before she is found guilty of the crime...or becomes the killer's next victim. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Adriana Mather comes a captivating thriller that will leave you breathless.

I just love everything Adriana Mather writes. They‘re just quick, interesting reads. I love the premise of an assassin academy and people aren‘t who you think they are - sometimes they‘re better and sometimes they‘re worse.

So do you think if I just don't post a reminder for November, time will stop?? I CANNOT BELIEVE we are only two months from Christmas!! What is happening?! October has absolutely flown by & we are only a week away from drawing November's #BookSpin numbers on the 2nd!!! My life is still a little crazy at the orchard, but things are starting to calm down, although we still have about 1000 bushels of apples to pick!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks If you would like to play along with #BookSpin and/or #BookSpinBingo for November, it's time to start thinking about your lists!! Below is just an outline of the basic challenge/reminder of the “rules“ (hint: they're SUPER FLEXIBLE), etc. As always, please just ask me if you have any questions. Please remember that I create a NEW TAG LIST EVERY MONTH so if you want to join for November, even if you aren't making a new list, please either ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) comment below or tag me when you post your list so you will get tagged on the 2nd!! I'm tagging everyone who made an October list or asked to be tagged for November. A few of you have already posted your November lists, so sorry that you're still getting tagged today!! 😂

Below: Basics/Housekeeping/Rambling ⬇
2y
TheAromaofBooks 1. The rules for #BookSpin & #BookSpinBingo can be found at my masterpost that I created here - https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 - but the basics are that if you want to play, make a list of 20 books you've been meaning to read & tag me when you post it!!
2. You do NOT have to participate in the Bingo part of the challenge if that isn't your thing!! You can read just the BookSpin or just the DoubleSpin or both, or however many books work ⬇
2y
See All 108 Comments
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) for you. Basically, choose the reading level that fits your life!! And feel free to change it from month to month!!

3. A NOTE ABOUT HOW I TAG PEOPLE: I have a rotating tag list, not a permanent one. So I'm tagging all of Oct's participants today, but today I am starting a NEW tag list. This means that if you would like to be tagged for Nov, either post your list (PLEASE tag me as I sadly do not have time to go through the hashtag!!) ⬇
2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) OR let me know on this post that you still want tagged. I know some people don't make a new list every month, so please just let me know that you'd still like to be tagged. I know it's a little confusing, but it's my way of making sure I'm not tagging people who no longer wish to participate. Basically, you have to renew your #BookSpin subscription every month! 😂 ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks 4. If you want to take a month off but be tagged with the December reminder post, that's fine, too - just let me know & I'll make it happen!!

5. When you post your list, please let me know if you also want to be tagged in the #BookSpinBingo post specifically.

6. Just a reminder that the rules here are pretty loose. If you have a huge/challenging book, feel free to let it take up more than one square (I gave Moby-Dick five slots last year!) ⬇
2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Some people struggle with having a super specific list & prefer to go with categories (i.e. library book, NetGalley, mystery, etc), which is also fine!! I have a participant who wants to makes sure she reads one physical book & one audiobook, so she makes a list of each & reads the #BookSpin number from the first list & #DoubleSpin from the second. Make this challenge work for you!! ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks 7. There is still plenty of time to get some books checked off your October lists, too!! And remember, if you didn‘t finish your “official” BS/DS books this month, you are welcome to finish them at a later date & still get credits for the giveaway – when you review the book, just let me know that it‘s from an earlier month. ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks 8. If you read your book(s) but just haven‘t gotten around to the reviews, you can still get credit – just comment on this post & let me know. I know the reviewing aspect is where some people get hung up, but I care more about the fact that you actually read it, not that you reviewed it!! ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks 9 (& final, geezy). Thank you all SO MUCH for your enthusiasm & for reading my rambly posts & for taking this challenge & making it your own. I LOVE seeing all the different ways people are making this challenge work for them!! Whether you use it to check off one book a month or 25, it's always fun to see at least a tiny dent in the never-ending TBR!! You all are THE BEST & I can't wait to see your lists for November!!! 2y

DrexEdit I'm in! I'm thinking about my list, but will probably be late with it, as usual! 😂 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks Sarah, and I thought I had a lot more apples to pick!!! We only have 8 trees and they produced like crazy this year. I can't imagine you!! How do you do it?? Thank you for taggme, I have to get my list ready 2y
megnews I‘m in! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Crazeedi - Thankfully I use “we“ in the royal sense here 😂 I do not personally pick them, but I do help with the grading, sorting, pressing them into cider, jugging the cider, etc. And my main job is to drive the little box truck around our wholesale route delivering apples & ciders all around the area!!! We are having a banner year for apples - probably going to be all-time record for the orchard!! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Read4life - I could be prejudiced, but the late-season varieties are my favorites, too!! We're picking Winesap, Gold Rush, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith - SO GOOD!!! 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks my neighbor has given us 4 gallons of cider already, it 2y
Megabooks You know I‘m in! And pink lady - yum! 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks even for little gardeners it's been amazing. I had so many grapes on our vines, like never before!! 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks we have Baldwin and northern spy. I also have an old tree don't know what it is even. And an old transparent tree. The best applesauce from it 2y
TheSpineView I'm in! I have even started my list! Imagine that... 2y
Charityann Apples how fun and perfect for fall! I love Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. I‘m planning on making my Nov. list soon. Thanks for hosting Bookspin! It‘s also a lot of fun! 😄 2y
Charityann *always* lol😆 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Megabooks - Pink Ladies are definitely underrated!!! We make a small batch of special blend cider of Gold Rush and Pink Lady and it's A M A Z I N G 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Crazeedi - Some of those older varieties are sooo good!! I haven't tried Northern Spy!! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Charityann - The Honeycrisp definitely have their devotees even though they're more expensive than the rest haha They really are harder to grow than the others, so we have a love/hate relationship with them at the orchard LOL Granny Smith were always my favorite growing up. Now I'm addicted to Gold Rush, which you usually can't find at the store because they're “ugly“ apples. Soooo good though!!! 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks yes they are, 3 of the trees have been here many many years, one is even hollow but still produces!! We have it propped up so it doesn't fall over. We will be sad when it finally goes 2y
Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks I love ugly apples!! 2y

SpookyMazeOfBooks I'm back in , posted my new updated list yesterday 2y
Librarybelle Woohoo!! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - The best apple just depends on what you like!!! I prefer varieties that are tart and firm, but some people like apples that are sweet (like my sister - she's a huge Fuji fan haha). For applesauce, I love using Jonagolds - I don't even add any sugar, just cook them down and can them. Melrose are awesome for baking. So many apples, so little time! 😂 2y
BarbaraJean Definitely in for all three! I‘ve been working on a November list for weeks but still can‘t believe it‘s around the corner. Will finish my final tweaks to that list and get it posted soon! 2y

Mehso-so

Admittedly this sequel to Killing November wasn't as good as the first. I found the pace to be so slow at the begging, but luckily it does pick up around halfway through. I liked that November is now adventuring around Europe instead of the academy, and I liked the political aspects with the different families and the friendships formed. The romance was a big aspect compared to book 1. I liked the mystery and the ending, plot twists were crazy!

1 st Book completed for #AnyWayYouReadathon Probably the only one because I've been so distracted this weekend.

This book is full of intrigue and craftiness. It is a great puzzle to be savored and solved. I enjoyed every clever and twisted minute. It reminded me of a classic movie.

For me, there was a bit of a slow build here. I get November has no idea what‘s going on so neither do we, but I feel like it took us a while to get to the good stuff of Strategia.
The political intrigue and caste system of this seemingly whole other world was fascinating. I totally dug the history lessons and learning more about each Family. I‘ll for sure keep reading the series because these psycho children are fascinating!

This story was on fire! Not quite as good as the first, but pretty close! High stakes, high tension & high action will leave you breathless! In this one, November leaves the Academy & takes us on an adrenaline filled ride across oceans, beneath cities & inside the darkest corners of a Secret Society in an attempt to save her father.

Secret organizations, ancient families, and a school that teaches its students deadly skills? Yes, please. This was a fast paced, enthralling YA book that was so much fun that I had to start the sequel ASAP, even though book one has a nice conclusion if you don‘t want to read on. Plenty of fun and useful info too!

Most prolific reading month ever: 21 books!

A new addition to my all-time favorites: A Prayer for Owen Meany. Still think about it daily. Can‘t wait to read more Irving. Mad at myself for just now getting to him.

Other 5 ⭐️ reads were New Kid and Class Act. Lots of 3-4 stars. I‘m pleased!

So the last half of November ended up being a major time suck for me. I‘ve been trying to figure out logistics of getting employed again and I was barely on Litsy. Sadly I missed out on all the fun holiday signups because of this.

Most of my books I *finished* for November‘s #BookSpinBingo were picture books. But I did make progress on several others so my December card might look very similar to this one 😅

I have a lot of choices for November, those on deck & planned, but if this month is as screwed up & crazy as I‘m afraid it might be I have lots of alternatives picked in times & galaxies far away to distract me.

I‘m going to play it by ear this month & mood, and if my normally #NonfictionNovember needs to become a fiction escapism month, I plan to be kind to myself and just let it be...including if I ditch 90% and just wing it.

#NovemberTBR

Gezemice Really nice! My Own Words is on my list, too. Nonfiction can be escapist to me, if it does not relate to current events or something bad - for example, medieval history or space or a memoir or just an interesting subject like language or psychology. I mean, interesting to me... 3y

I continue trying every month with high motivation that I'm going to read most of the books in this stack. At the end, usually are 8 with no bingos🤣I have here Oct #BookSpin, May Asian Readathon, Aug #BookSpin, Literarily Dead Book Club from different months (YouTube) and sequels which is one of my 2020 goals. There are books from swaps, another 2020 goal. Let's continue the #BookSpinBingo journey🤗I'm still in the spooky mood @TheAromaofBooks

This book is a solid sequel to Killing November. More heists, coverups, daring rescues, murder and intrigue about an elite school where concocting poison is an entry level class. For this book November and her friends head out to save her dad who is thought to have been kidnapped by a rival group. I liked it; Mather is able to branch out with new storylines in every book she writes.

InBooksILive I just bought the ebook of the 1st book today since it was on sale for only $1.99. Sounds like a really good series 4y
Book_yogi @InBooksILive That's a great price! 4y

I loved this book, it was a fast paced, action packed slow burn romance with a kick ass female lead. The only critique is that there is a lot of info dump, but it works well, even if it is confusing at times. The characters are well developed and the storyline was so well thought out, eapically with all the twists! Totally reccomend!!

I want to say that I liked this, but that wouldn't be entirely true, there are just too many elements at play that I'm not sure how I feel about them. I'll attempt to explain...see it here: https://leahsbookishobsession2.blogspot.com/2019/09/killing-november-by-adriana-...

Okay! Alright! Why do I so desperately want to go to a secluded boarding school that inevitably has a murder in it? 🤷🤷🤷🤷

Now I could have done without the romance. It was an unnecessary distraction for me. It's a damn school for assassins people! Keep your damn pants on! People are bring murdered!

I will definitely be reading the sequel.

BekahB Glad to know that you enjoyed this book! I loved How to Hang a Witch and it‘s sequel, but I wasn‘t sure about this one. I‘ll definitely give it a try. 5y

Finally getting a chance to pick this up. I didn't love How to Hang A Witch by this author but a secret boarding school training assassins is kinda my wheelhouse

JanuarieTimewalker13 Oooh, I read both of her other books, but not this one. I would definitely try it! 5y

Not much reading done this weekend, but I did take an hour to grab a bath and finish this. It's definitely different. Monotonous at times but pretty good! I have other books by this author I haven't read but I will now!
Also, you might remember a while back my bf thought it would be hilarious to buy me bath bombs with Lego men inside? Turns out, they smell pretty damn good so I'm slowly starting an army of #BathBombLegoMen in my bathroom 😂😂

Book 35: I have a feeling Adriana Mather is always going to just be a “meh” author for me. This one had interesting parts but the book as a whole was fairly boring and filled with too many info dumps.

BethM I adore her other series but this one doesn‘t even spark my interest. 5y

Took the Girls to see the Easter Bunny today! We had a blast doing lots of family time ❤️ Also, some #BookMail 🙌 My #BOTM came in with the top two, I got the lower left recommended by @Laalaleighh , and the lower right is a used copy I found online for $5. I will never be able to finish my TBR.

Finished the other day. Thanks to Adriana Mather for getting me through the flu! While not all of my questions were answered satisfactorily, and I would‘ve hoped for more world-building, this book kept me swiping the pages for more. And I loved November‘s personality! Very much like an Ally Carter novel. Well done 👏🏼

jenreads7 Welcome to Litsy! 🎉📚 I hope you‘re feeling better! 5y
CKBrooke @jenniferajanes Thank you so much!! Thankfully I am 100% again & back in action! ❤️👍🏼 5y
jenreads7 @CKBrooke Awesome! Happy reading! 🥰 5y

authorjed Is this a thriller novel? 5y
CKBrooke @authorjed Yes! It‘s a YA thriller about a secret elite boarding school that trains young assassins & powerful European political families. It‘s like an Ally Carter book but edgier, lol 5y
authorjed I need to read! 5y

I started the audiobook last night and first thing I did this morning was press play! It‘s a secret school for teens and they can‘t know where they are or who the other students are and are like being trained as spies! 🔪📚🔪

BethM I‘m interested to see how you like it! I loooooove her other books but I wasn‘t too sure if I‘d want to read this one. 5y
Matilda @BethM I haven‘t read her other books for comparison but I found this one fun and enjoyed the audiobook. 5y
