November Book Roundup

So we say farewell to November and start to look towards December and some Christmassy offerings.

Before we go full-pelt into the Christmas season, here is my monthly book roundup. How was your November? Did you manage to read everything you wanted to?

This month I read ‘Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking’ by Matthew Syed. I also read ‘The Christie Affair’ by Nina de Gramont (review coming soon) and finished ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ by Suzanne Collins. I am a massive fan of The Hunger Games series, so absolutely loved the prequel. It was a bit of a whopper, but after the first 100 pages or so, I did manage to get into it. I am amazed by the author’s inventiveness and storytelling skills.

I have begun reading ‘The Martian’ by Andy Weir. This has been lying on my To Be Read shelf for ages, so I’m intrigued to finally give it a whirl.

I have also been listening to The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis on audio book while I work. Currently I am listening to ‘The Silver Chair’. Its been such a joy to re-read (sort of) my childhood favourites.

November is such a cosy month.
