Alyssa’s November Stats

While it may seem like I read a ton, these November stats are a little deceiving. One book I read over several months and simply completed the last chapter in November. Another was an audiobook (my first!) I listened to while quilting. And finally, five of the books were short stories.

My biggest accomplishment is finally completing Midnight at Chernobyl, and I’m so happy to get (mostly) caught up on my 2024 reading goals and challenges. I tried my first audiobook, which was fantastic for meeting one of my goal books and finishing two Christmas quilts. Plus, the 11 holiday romances were a lot of fun!

With one month to go, it appears I will meet my reading goals this year. 😊

Favorite Quotes

I believe there are far more possibilities than happily ever after or tragedy. Every story has the potential for infinite endings.

Stephanie Garber – Once Upon a Broken Heart

Don’t give up on your happiness just because you’re scared it won’t last forever.

Upcoming

I need to read a book published in 2023 to complete the ICYMI challenge and I only need to read 4 books to meet my goal of 150 for the year. Basically, December will be a free for all. Looking forward to an RBF joint review of Lovelight Farms!
