After months of multiple 5 star reviews, November only had one book worthy of 5 stars – Nights in Rodanthe. This book was just the romance I needed this time of year. It probably helped that we were coming to the Outer Banks for the Thanksgiving holiday, too, staying just south of Rodanthe for the week.
Overall, November was a slower reading month as I am working ahead on my reading list for the rest of the year in preparation for the Read With Lindsey 2024 Reading Challenge! I finished 11 this month – 5 audio and 6 print books. Let’s take a look back the reviews of those books – click below to visit the reviews:

December Reading Plan
While I’ve been averaging around 14 books a month, December is going to be much slower. I am looking to start reading January’s books by mid-month so I can stay caught up on writing reviews for the prompts, but there’s still a lot of great books coming up! You can grab your copies at our Bookshop.org page.
