November 2021 Currently Reading & TBR

Whether you read a few books a year or a few hundred, time is your most precious commodity. Check in monthly for my notes on new and backlist books I’m currently reading to find out whether or not they’re worth the time and worthy of your TBR list!

November is all about Nonfiction! My friend Jaymi from @theocbookgirl is hosting a fun event all month long on Instagram. Go check it out and use #nonfictionbookparty to join in on the fun! Or check out her book blog for more information on how to celebrate with us and find out about the books she’s giving away all month long.

On a personal note, my husband and I bought a home and moved in October. It was my slowest month in terms of reading because the rest of my life was so crazy busy! Thrilled to be homeowners and continuing to unpack and organize. Looking forward to purchasing bookshelves for my new home office!

What’s on My TBR?

One of the best things about becoming a bookstagrammer and book blogger is getting free books to review! Over time as I’ve grown as a blogger, I’ve been given the opportunity to connect with authors, publishers, and marketing teams. Getting book mail is by far the best thing ever, right?

To keep things more organized, I’m updating the layout of this monthly page. Please use the link below to see the latest:
