Whew! Another month has gone by so quickly, it seems! Although I did finish a couple of books this month, I also had to accept that I don't have as much time to read these days as I would like. So I pared down my expectations a little bit, especially with the busy-ness of the holidays upon me.
November's Books Completed and Reviewed
Behind Love's Wall by Carrie Fancett Pagels - Willa is a modern interior designer and Lily is a successful singer in 1895. Both deal with the secrets of their troubled pasts in hopes of breaking down the barriers to love in this dual timeline story set at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. (Read my full review HERE)
Rest Girl: A Journey from Exhausted and Stressed to Entirely Blessed by Jami Amerine - Jami shares wisdom and personal experiences to encourage readers to experience God's grace and the kind of peace and rest He wants us to enjoy. (Read my full review HERE)
Lost in Darkness (Of Monsters and Men) by Michelle Griep - Amelia is an aspiring travel writer who puts her dreams on hold to assist her brother through an experimental procedure that may restore his disfigured face and body. The doctor's assistant, Graham, develops a friendship with Amelia and her brother, and a growing fear that the doctor's plans and methods are not to be trusted. (Read my full review HERE)
A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty - This YA fantasy is quirky and clever so far. I should have finished it quite awhile ago, so I'm trying to read quickly now!
The Debutante's Code by Erica Vetsch - I am participating in the book tour for this new release, but there were some delays in getting copies out to bloggers. I'm diving into reading, and getting my tour post ready, hopefully for this week.
During November I continued reading:
As Death Draws Near by Anna Lee Huber - Kiera and Gage investigate a murder at an Irish abbey. I've once again fallen behind the pace in the Lady Darby Read-Along group on Facebook and keep missing the book discussions!
The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick - I'm reading this entertaining middle school level novel along with students in my co-op fiction writing class. I've read it a couple times before, so I've been skimming it a little to refresh my memory.
During November I shelved:
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell - Although I'd picked this up again, I had no choice but to shelve it a second time since I was falling behind in all my reading.
A Brush with Shadows (A Lady Darby Mystery)
by Anna Lee Huber

You are right, November sure did fly by! Looks like you had a good month with several good reads.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed December!
Behind Love's Wall sounds really good! I'll have to look into that one. Sounds like you had a good reading month!
ReplyDeleteGreat month! I'm intrigued by The Last Book in the Universe. Here is my wrap-up: https://wordsandpeace.com/2021/12/01/2021-november-wrap-up/
ReplyDeleteYour November of reading was excellent. I haven't read any of these books, but I have heard of all the authors. Chris Tomlin is one of my favorites! I listen to contemporary Christian music in my car and wake to it every day.
