My blog post about the books I read in November has been up for awhile but I‘m just now posting about it here! I‘d love to hear from anybody who has read any of them about your thoughts and opinions.

Let me know if you‘ve read any of them and what you thought! Link is in my bio.

If you're looking for recommendations, I've just put a quick run-through of what I've read in the last month on my blog (hint, there's more than what's pictured here!). The link is in my profile! What was the last book you read? Are there any from my post that you've read? If so, what did you think of them?

I'm a little late to this party, but why not? #LETSTALKABOUTBOOKSBABY
1. DFW, TX
2. 👆🏼Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
3. The Card Catalog by The Library of Congress #nerdalert!
4. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ⚡️
6. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan

This was a fun, fluffy book (or as fluffy as a wartime story can be anyway). The format was not super well executed (who uses quotation marks and recounts entire conversations in their journal or a letter?) and some of the characterizations/character development was less than believable. But the plot was great, so... You win some, you lose some. 🤷🏽‍♀️

#24in48 opening survey! I'm reading in Texas, USA! This is my first time doing the #readathon, which I heard about through various Litsy and bookstagram accounts.
I'm probably most excited about finishing On Edge, which I am right in the thick of right now.
My husband and I are moving this weekend, so I'm going to be relying heavily on audiobooks to meet the time goal. I'll be posting exclusively here on Litsy, @littledid.she.know

Here's my #TBR stack for the @24in48 readathon this weekend. I also have a few audiobooks on hand that I'll be listening to on Saturday during all of the moving festivities, and I'll be tracking my reading time with the Bookout app.

My husband and I are packing to move (just twenty minutes away, thankfully), and I ran across this when I was going through all the little odds and ends on my desk. Such a sad book, but I thought this sentiment was perfectly put when I read it. ❤️

From the time I read The Phantom Tollbooth in elementary school until about a month ago, I mistakenly thought that it was the only book Norton Juster wrote. I'm happy to report that it most certainly was not (although I am still holding out hope that he's going to write another novel one of these days). If you want to read my thoughts about the picture books he's authored (including this Caldecott winner), click through to the link in my profile!

Garage Sale Finds!!! Also my husband got a ladder so we an access the attic in our new house so #win! 🙌🏼

"Mom, I'm your son, not a suggestion box."

This is such a sweet book about a little boy working up the courage to jump off the diving board for the very first time. A perfect summertime read, especially if you've got littles who are confronting their swimming pool anxiety. The illustrations are 👌🏼. #littledidsheknowreviews

Whenever I go a long stretch without reading one of Rick Riordan's books, I forget just how much I love them. He writes the best snarky, witty teenage boy characters, and it literally never gets old. I finished The Dark Prophecy in four days (although that might have been helped along by library due dates 😬😁) Some thoughts about why I love YA and Middle Grade novels are in my most recent blog post--link in my profile! #booknerdforlife

I've just barely started this, but I can already tell that it's a great window into the experiences of people who suffer from anxiety. I have had some struggles with anxiety and although they haven't been nearly as intense as what the author describes, it is so comforting to not feel alone. I'm so glad to live in an age when real efforts are being made to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Have you ever read a book that took forever to grip you? That's this one. But guys, I knew... I KNEW that it was going to get unputdownable, and I finally got to that point today. I'm less than 100 pages from the end and my mind is spinning with questions, the biggest ones being "Who can be trusted?" and "What is real?"

SUCH a sweet little book! Any teacher who has had a difficult but ultimately rewarding student will be able to connect with this! And so will anyone who has ever been that student 😜.

"He traveled with his father, keeping the books and bank accounts, but did not LIVE in it, as one must do if he is to be happy and truly successful in any employment."

This book was SO much fun to read and only confirmed for me the deep importance of keeping public libraries alive and thriving for generations to come.

"God is not a miser." This book is such an inspiring story of courage and faith.
