November was a great reading month for me.
I read ten books. Three nonfiction and seven fiction books.
I read a wide range of books in November, including several nonfiction books, a mystery book, several Christmas books, and a memoir.
November Reads
I am sharing a few things on each book, but you can click on the title of the book for more details and a full review.
Fiction Books
Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. This book is set in Ireland during Christmas. If you like books to wrap up in neat packages this book is not for you. If you like books that make you think long after you finish them, you will probably enjoy this one.
A Christmas Quilt by Sandra Dallas. This is a historical fiction Civil War book about a quilt at Christmas time.
Christmas With the Queen by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb. I loved this historical fiction book by the author of Last Christmas in Paris, one of my favorite Christmas books.
Sleigh Bells Ring by RaeAnne Thayne. A fun Hallmark Christmas movie type of read.
Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade by Janet Skeslien Charles. Set during WWI and 1987, this is a historical fiction book about books. It is also about friendship, family, and found family.
Betrayal At Blackthorn Park by Julia Kelly. This historical mystery set during WWII was a great read.
Dear Santa by Debbie Macomber. This is another quick and fun Hallmark Christmas movie type of read.
Nonfiction
What the Chicken Knows by Sy Montgomery. I read quite a few reviews from book influencers who loved this book. I decided to read it based on the hype. It was disappointed in this one. You can read my full review here and why I didn’t love the book.
What I Ate In One Year by Stanely Tucci. A food diary perfect for those that love memoirs about food.
Christian Nonfiction
Good Tidings of Great Joy by C.H. Spurgeon. A Christmas devotional-type book is taken from Spurgeon’s sermons.
