Month in Review: November 2017

Month in Review:
November 2017

It's December and I'm... not ready. I swear I was just making this wrap-up for October. And yet, when I look at the posts I made in the beginning of November--they seem so long ago! I don't know, time is crazy lately, but we are going to move past all of that nonsense and talk about books and blog happenings! As always, below is an organized list of everything that I have posted on this blog for the past month. I read a total of nine books, which is understandable given how busy/distracted I was, and the fact that The Woman in White took me far, far too long to finish.  Now feel free to go forth and explore!

As I've mentioned before, I'm also very proud to be a Book Depository Affiliate! If you'd like to know more about that, I included some info about in this post. And if you'd like to purchase a book through my affiliate link, just follow this link! It is so, so appreciated in ways you cannot imagine (okay maybe you can, but you get my meaning)!

Anticipated November 2017 Releases! (+news!)

November is coming so quickly and with it are so many great releases! I am so excited for many of these books--let me know what books you're looking forward to!

And in additional news: I am now officially a Book Depository Affiliate! This is something that I've been meaning to do for ages and I'm so excited to have finally been able to do so. I shop on the Book Depository quite a bit because I think the prices are usually great and it is also a great way to get the UK editions of books that I sometimes want. I also always recommend the Book Depository to people because of the worldwide free shipping, which I personally think is amazing, especially for those who don't have as much easy access to affordable books as we do here in the states.

This doesn't change anything on the blog except that now most of my book links will straight to Book Depository instead of another retailer. I have a new Book Depository banner on the right hand side of my blog that you can simply click on to be taken to the site through my affiliate link, and I'll also include links on my posts. You can also click through my general affiliate link here. 

And finally, what does being an affiliate do for me, you ask? Basically, whenever you make a purchase on Book Depository through my affiliate link, I get a small 5% commission from your purchase (at no extra cost for you!). These commissions will help keep me fed and provide great content for all of you! I'd love to start expanding what I do here on this blog, and that usually requires extra costs, so I'm hoping that this can help make that happen. I'm so happy to share this news with you all! If you have any questions, do feel free to let me know. :)

I hope everyone has a great month!
