My Bookish Life: November Reading Wrap Up

  November is almost over so I thought I would go ahead and post my reading wrap up. My reading month was not so good this time. I did not complete my TBR this time. I think some of the books bogged me down actually.

   The first book I read this month was Homebody by Joanna Gaines. I didn't like it that much. It was like reading a magazine. I expected more from the book.

                   Rating: I think I gave it 1.5 stars
                  Pages: 340

           



The second book I read this month was 
77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz. This is one of the books I think bogged me down this month. I found it to be monotonous and repetitive. I got to within 50 pages of the end and I just didn't care enough to finish it.

Rating : 2.5
Pages: roughly 430


My third book I read this month was The Gunslinger: Dark Tower I. It was a reread and I absolutely love this series. Had no problems finishing it!

Rating: 5 stars
Pages : 300




The last book I finished this month was Fifty Shades of Chicken by FL Fowler. I liked it , it was very funny and light hearted. Some of the recipes sounded really good which is a plus! 

Rating : 3 stars
Pages : 158

I have started The Rise of the 4th Reich by Jim Marrs. It's like a conspiracy type book. I haven't finished it yet though . I'm about 150 pages in . Hopefully , I will be able to both finish and review it sometime next week. 

Reading Stats For November:

Average Rating: about 3 star
Number of Pages Read: 1,228

Also, please forgive me for using the same book pictures I used for the reviews. I haven't felt good today so that's why I used the same pictures. I just didn't feel like setting up photoshoots for the books really.

I say this but I will probably post my December TBR if I get more time this evening. So be on the lookout for that either tonight or sometime tomorrow. If you like what you have read please give my blog a follow. That's it for this update, I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

    I love Dean Koontz but this book didn't do it for me either

      That's how it was for me. I normally love Dean but, this book was just a no.
