It’s true. These are the last books of the year! I set a goal to read 100 books this year & was 18 books shy at the start of the month. Spoiler alert! Done!

Whew! I can’t believe it’s almost 2020. Are you going crazy with the end of year madness? My November wrap up will help you beat those crazies with some great book recs!

Am I the only one that blinked and October was over? I swear I was just at the University of Alabama visiting my oldest child for parents’ weekend and now all of a sudden there’s snow on the ground and we’re figuring out how big of a turkey we need for Thanksgiving. I only read six books last month, but each of them stood out in a very unique way.

Now that the weather is cooling off, it’s the perfect time to fall for books. I had THREE FIVE STAR BOOKS THIS MONTH!!!!! I enjoyed all of the books I read this month and recommend all of them!

You might think that a month with no five-star books might be a disappointing month for me, but this truly was a month of good books.
Even though none of this month’s books rocked my world, it was really interesting to learn more about Steve Jobs and also about our culture of public shaming, I found an author my mother loved that I never knew about (Haywood Smith), I finally read Where’d You Go Bernadette, and have some great food for thought thanks to some other fantastic non-fiction books.
