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…

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong I’ve read Ocean Vuong’s poetry collection, Night Sky With Exit Wounds, and I absolutely loved it.

July Wrap Up and August TBR
In the past, I’ve never done any monthly wrap ups or TBRs (To Be Read) and instead have done a general post on all the books I read in the year, and while I’m still planning to do that, I thought doing these monthly ones would be fun too.

Hinton I gave this 3.5/5 stars, I…
