November always brings a sense of anticipation to my reading. It's a month where I really focus on my pile of non-fiction books. There is something about getting that pile knocked down a bit. I have such great hopes that I'll read more non-fiction throughout the year but they always take me so much longer, unless it's a biography/autobiography. Since I discovered audiobooks, it has helped my non-fiction reading quite a bit but I'm always stuck in what Libby or Hoopla offers. Yes I know I can get subscriptions but I don't want to spend the money for it. Anyway in Non-Fiction November I do like to get to the hard copies that are stacked in my closet. I realize "The Boys in the Boat" has made my list several times this year but I'm determined to get to it before the movie comes out. I've also added a couple of fictions: the one I am finishing up from October and my favorite author's new release.

I just saw When We Were Young & Brave by Hazel Gaynor recently and thought it sounded really good.
I always love seeing what others are reading. Thank you for sharing. I recently finished an excellent book called Silent Came the Monster. It is about the 1916 shark attacks on the east coast. It is so interesting in that it isn't a book about shark attacks but a historical account of life in those days. Have a cozy evening!
I've been meaning to read the one by the Pakistani girl and yet just haven't yet. I need to get going on some more non fiction my self. I think I read 2 or 3 in the Spring and then no more. Not counting the Bible study books.
My Goodreads Goal for 2023 was to read 45 books of any genre and I am currently on book 47. this doesn't count hte 2 books I returned to the library due to offensive language or just bad content.
BTW: did you try to comment on my FFF from this past weekend?? for some reason many of your comments are ending up in my Spam list. not sure why.
I cannot get on with audio books - I'm always losing my place or falling asleep. My DIL listens to them in the car but I think that would be too distracting and I don't often drive far enough to make it worthwhile. I'm also behind on my reading challenge this year. Hopefully I'll catch up this month.
