What I Read In November 2022.

I’m alll about the holiday books right now! I read three books in November and listened to two, all really good. Overall it was a great reading month. Now I’m reading as many holiday books as I can and probably also going to reread the Winter Street series (one of my all time favorites). What are you reading right now?!

WHAT I READ IN NOVEMBER 2022

You Made A Fool Of Death With You Beauty – 4 stars

I couldn’t put this one down. It had me hooked from the beginning. The story follows Feyi who lost her husband in an accident. She starts a friendship with another man (who wants to date her) and ends up falling in love with his father. It’s very real and not cheesy at all. The only thing I didn’t love was the switch in Nasir’s character towards the end of the book. It seemed a little outlandish to me.

Merry Little Meet Cute – 3.5 stars

This was waaaay spicier than I thought – I did not read the synopsis closely. The story follows Bee who is starring in a christmas movie opposite her childhood crush – a member of a boy band who everyone was crazy over. I loved the messaging in this, I thought the characters were really cute and it made me happy! The town reminded me of a Stars Hollow too.

Let It Snow – 4.5 stars

This was super cute. The story follows Bea (crazy, almost same name as above!) who just got out of a relationship and heads home for Christmas. This book has one of my favorite tropes – an enemy-to-lovers (of sorts) and I love how it came together. A little love triangle too. If you’re in the mood for a cozy read, this is it.

Wintering

LOVED this. I listened to this on audible and really enjoyed it – I’ve wanted to read it forever. This is a memoir (which I didn’t realize until I started it!) and talks about how to regroup and hibernate during difficult times. I love the idea that retreating in the “winter” (a metaphor for many things) is healing and replenishing.

Friends, Lovers and The Big Terrible Thing

I don’t even know where to start here. I listened to this, so I could hear Matthew Perry read it. It was really good, but also really dark. I almost felt “off” while listening, like something was wrong and I couldn’t remember what. But it was really just the distress of the book. I don’t know if enjoy it the right word… but I did think it was good.
