Monday Meme #65


I am reviving this little feature after eight years. You might see a couple recycled from when I did this in 2016, but they were funny then and they are still funny now. Occasionally they will be more introspective or comforting. No matter what, they will be about reading and books.


I mean...it's not wrong.

Happy Reading!

Spell the Month in Books | November

I am FINALLY getting around to this one, which is hosted by Jana @ Reviews from the Stacks. I have seen Marianne do this one forever and keep saying I would start...and then forget because, well, I don't know.

It's really easy. Just find book titles which spell the month in question. Jana does post optional themes for the months, if you like having that guide. I will not be using them, as themes are usually harder to do with non-fiction.

November

N 

O 

V 

E 

M 

B 

E 

R  

All of these are from my TBR, so hopefully it is yet another way for me to focus on that.

Happy Reading!

For me when I finish a really, really good book, it feels like a best friend has gone away. It's depressing.
