You may have noticed that there wasn't a Book of the Month in October. That is because October was crazy busy and I only finished one book. Is it really winning if you're the only one playing?
In November I started reading more ebooks on my desktop during my free time which means I read nine books in the month of November, three of which were graphic novels. (I can't believe my stack of graphic novels I got in September is still staring at me.) I read a wide variety of types of books in November, most of which I enjoyed but not all.
My favorite book I finished in November was actually the book we read in our book club, "The Handmaid's Tale." This is classic feminist literature that I had somehow never gotten around to before but I'm glad I have now. And what a year to read this book... When your reality is starting to feel more like a dystopian future, this sort of thing just doesn't seem that far-fetched. This book sucked me from the beginning. Reading this book felt like taking great, gulping breathes of air after being under water. It felt like taking a disaster preparedness course. Now I at least feel like I know what to look out for. It freaked my shit out.... but I liked it.
(So far this year I have read 41 books and 26 graphic novels.)
