Read 12 books in November, which isn't bad considering I traveled home for Thanksgiving. I also had five 5 star reads this month (3 were rereads).

Here are the best books I've read each month, I can say with confidence that I know what my book of the year is going to be, I've read it twice this year and it's really stuck with me. But we have to wait to see what December brings!

Cute and fun holiday read, great for the start of the season. The male narrator is not great at female voices, so be forewarned (the female narrator was fantastic).

I don‘t really have words for this right now, but I do know that this will make a most excellent book club discussion.

To be fair to the book if you like certain kinks you‘ll probably like the book more than me.

I really liked this, but the fact that Alaric was a vampire was completely irrelevant as he was so “non traditional vampire” that he had no vampire qualities.

Not my favorite Sager book, but will make for a good book club discussion.

I also didn‘t care for the narrator so if this book interests you I recommend the print.

I absolutely blew through this one. I loved the premise of the bet and all the things that came along with it, including lots of self discovery for both Lexie and Evan. Plenty of lol moments mixed in with some more serious ones.

Such a wild ride. My only complaint was in the print book there are some sections of different font, but that didn‘t always come through in audio, so there were some issues at first knowing what was present/book.

Curves for Days | Laura Moher

Bailedbailed

I love a good plus size romance but at 20% in I found myself annoyed with both main characters. Angus has some kind of issue and gets unreasonably bent out of shape if someone does him a favor and Rose has clearly been living under a rock her entire life. Oh and Angus is a licensed therapist AND a licensed contractor.

Such a fun and wild alternate history series. Instead of a democracy America has a monarchy, and the royal family has a lot going on. Plenty of drama in the style of a CW show.

Cruel Seduction | Katee Robert

This series has an over arching story and that‘s really why I toughed this one out. The last 20% had more plot things going on that will lead to the next step but it took forever and ever to get there.

This is not part of my rating as it‘s a matter of personal preference, but one of the sexytimes was not my jam so much so that it completely pulled me out of the book.

Thoroughly enjoyed Delicious Monsters. Falls more on the horror side, but it‘s not too bad. Mostly I just didn‘t read it before bed.

I wanted to like this book more, but I just didn‘t.

1. There are only THREE chapters. This was tolerable in chapters 1 & 2 as there were natural breaks. But no such luck in chapter 3, which was seriously annoying.

2 the blurb didn‘t mention that over half the book takes place during the pandemic. While I‘m not anti-pandemic in books, it should be mentioned in the blurb.

It wasn‘t horrible or anything but I was very underwhelmed.

It‘s between a pick and so-so, so I‘m giving it the pick. I‘m not a big historical fan so that could be why I feel this way.
