Plans for November:

  • read A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray
  • read Alantia by Ally Condie
  • read The Unhappening of Genesis Lee by Shallee McArthur
  • finished the skinwalker book and Save the Cat
  • and if I get that much done I'll be doing great since I'll also be spending a lot of time writing!

  1. You have a good reading month! I didn't read very many books in October. My favorite is The Rat Queens, a graphic novel series that features some amazing women.
