 Aaaah! Goodreads is gliching like crazy making it so hard to do this wrapup. I have to actually remember what I read. I’ve outsourced that part of my brain to Goodreads’ ability to list what I read in order. With that not working I feel totally lost.
I read 19 books this month as far as I can reconstruct.
Fiction
 Nonfiction
The books were:
- Set in China, England/France, Ireland, Spain, Germany/Philippines, and the U.S. (California, Georgia, New York)
- 3 audiobooks
The authors were:
- Â 12 unique female authors, 4 male authors, and 1 non-binary author
- Â 5 POC authors and the rest were white
Reading All Around the World challenge from Howling Frog Books
- Read a nonfiction book about the country – or
- Read fiction written by a native of the country or someone living for a long time in the country.
I added China this month.
I’m doing two reading events in November.Â
First up is Nonfiction November. It is one of my favorites. My personal challenge this month is to read only nonfiction by authors who aren’t white men since my nonfiction reading so far this year is overwhelmingly by them.
I’m also joining up with an Australian challenge. I’m starting this by reading a nonfiction book by an Aboriginal author.Â
19 books is amazing! I see you read Dear Martin and I also want to read this book after reading great reviews.
Dear Martin was so good. I’m having my husband read it too. After the first chapter he was already upset but hooked.
I’m incredibly impressed that you could manage to come up with a list of books you’ve read without Goodreads. That would be a near-impossible task for me!
My Goodreads is broken, too. I never realized how hard it is to remember what I read! It looks like you read some really good books, though.
Wow. 19 books is a lot! I’ve been curious about Yi Yang’s twin novelletes.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who counts on Goodreads in that way, haha. I really need to get the Shadowshaper books. They sound so good.
You’ve reminded me to continue with Deborah Harkness’s books! 🙂 Happy November!
