📥TBR In & Out📤 // November 2021

November was a pretty low-producing month when it came to reading (as has been my life all semester if we're being honest), but the good news is that I still read more books than I acquired, which is the overall goal! I know I had been thinking about trying to get into the double digits for my TBR by the end of this year, but unless I go on a TEAR during the month of December, that's not going to happen. 😂 Ether way I'm proud of the progress I've made this year, and I'm thinking that I'll be making a double-digit TBR a goal of mine for 2022.

Monthly Reading Wrap Up 🦃 November 2021

I feel like November went by in a blink! Really not surprised with the amount I read, but I am kinda bummed I didn't get through the whole year without a 1-star read. That's right - November was the month I found my first 1-star book of 2021! Hopefully it's the only one I have to read, and the good news is that I was able to find a 5-star book to balance it out a bit! Here's what I read during the month of November:
