Hello, #FictionalTraveler (s)! It‘s November and we‘re heading to #Asia ! What will everyone be reading?

Also - I‘m trying to decide whether to continue #FictionalTraveler for another year. Please comment below to let me know your thoughts. 🤔🤓🙂

This month, I‘ll be reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles.

Tripling up this title. #ReadOrDonate #FictionalTraveler #Roll100

This book, based on the Essex Witch Trials of the 1640s, was truly spellbinding.(Forgive the pun; it‘s the most appropriate word I could think of.) I highly recommend listening on audio. I found the narrator‘s voice to be quietly mesmerizing, and was perfectly suited to this story. Although the story is sad, it conveys a real sense of what it was like to live in England during the witch craze of the Cromwellian era. Petrifying.

This was just a weird book. The first part was very entertaining, even if it was a little predictable but then it got almost too weird 🐈‍⬛

Hello Friends! What will everyone be reading and/or donating this month?

For those who want to continue, or join us, in chipping away at our overflowing bookshelves, I will be hosting #ReadOrDonate again in 2026. All are welcome! I‘ll also do a StoryGraph Challenge (hopefully soon) for those who like to plan and track.

For November, I‘ll be reading & donating: Joan is Okay.

This was a story-within-a-story situation, so between all the characters and the two stories, it was just a lot to keep up with! And I didn‘t really like the ending. I didn‘t love this one but didn‘t hate it either.

The Real Simple pile has shrunk and now fits in an actual magazine holder on the top of my “encyclopedia” bookcase. As a bonus, when I was going through my paperbacks for what to take to New Jersey last month, I decided to offload Bonfire of the Vanities. #monthlymagazineblitz #readordonate

@julieclair Here are my October picks for the reading challenges! 🎃

#readordonate - The Woman in the Library
#fictionaltraveler - Tom Lake (takes place in a cherry orchard and apparently the trees aren‘t only literal but also symbolic)
#thematiccozies - Chapter and Curse

I read ten books in September. My favorites were I Am Ozzy and Enigma 🩵
For #ReadOrDonate I'm still reading The Amalfi Coast but The Bat Eater can go.
