I knew I didn't read much in November, but I didn't realise just how little I read. Part of it is pure exhaustion - we went from 8-hr work days with a 1 hour and 15 mins break, to 10-hr days with a shorter break (1hr)... not much when most of that break time is spent trying to find a free table at the food court or what passes for our pantry. I have an extra day off every week with this new schedule, but I felt too tired to read? I tried watching movies and series I've been meaning to get into, but even those felt heavy after awhile, and these days I've just been doom-scrolling on twitter and IG, or watching short videos on yt. And, of course, playing Animal Crossing.
Having said that, the books I read last month were all excellent, and One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston is lovely, and Katie O'Neill's Tea Dragon Tapestry is PERFECT and can I please live in that book forever. I can't wait for both of these to be available in print.
Our YA book club read Garth Nix's Sabriel, which isn't included above because while I did try to reread it, it just felt too bleak to continue in my current mood. The discussion was very interesting, though, and I look forward to the next meeting.
