Month in Review: November 2019

Okay guys, this time I feel like I just made my October wrap-up! This year has truly gone faster than I could have ever expected and it's been a doozy of a year so far. Let's hope December goes well for all of us!

November was sort of chaos for me. We're nearing the end of my first semester as a grad student and it's been extraordinarily stressful--I don't have the slightest idea how people manage to hold down a full-time job, go to school with a full course load, and still get all their reading/blogging done without losing their minds? I'm barely hanging in there and my mind is most definitely gone at this point, haha. Some of you may or may not have noticed my major delays in responding to comments or commenting on other people's blogs and for that I'm so sorry--I'm still trying to keep up with everything, but I've been pretty slow at getting back to everyone lately and I'm hoping to organize my time better next semester (and catch up once the semester ends this month!). Right now I'm working on two papers and an exam so I'm a bit fried, but we'll get through it!

In reading news, I still managed to speed through a lot of books this month for which I'm eternally grateful. I particularly loved Realm of Ash and House of Salt and Sorrows and I fell back in love with The Diviners with the start of my slow re-read in preparation for the next book's release next year (I think?). I hope you're all reading some great books as the end of the year approaches!

 So finally...How was your reading month? Did you read any great books? Have you read any of the books I read? Let me know!
