Happy November! I hope you had a good October! Last month I read 11 books, and I’m hoping to hit 100 by the end of the year (I’m at 89 right now!). Before we get into the books, I also wanted to mention that I started watching Dark on Netflix, it’s like a German Stranger Things, and it’s really good, so if you’re looking for something to watch, I’d definitely recommend it! Now, let’s get into my reading wrap up. Reading Stats Books Read: Eleven Pages Read: 2,772 (roughly 252 pages per book) Longest Book: Wuthering Heights (464 pages) Shortest Book: The Metamorphosis (202 pages according to Goodreads, but I’m…

September Wrap Up and October TBR
Happy October! In September, I started school again and we’re doing a hybrid schedule (in one day, online the next), so with getting used to that and school work in general, I’ve had a bit of a slower reading month, but I did read five books and I really enjoyed most of them.
