Sanibel Island, Florida 11/2010 |
NaNoWriMo did remind me that I love to write and could actually enjoy it if I had more time. I definitely plan on trying it again next year, but with more of a plan in mind! Maybe there should be a NaNoWriMo in July for us teachers! Consequently, I was so focused on writing the first two weeks, I fell behind in my reading, but I did get some reviews posted. Here's my November wrap-up:
Books Read in November:
1. Cate of the Lost Colony by Lisa Klein
2. Delirium by Lauren Oliver
3. Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
4. Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
5. Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
6. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
My November Top Five:
1. Favorite Book:
This was a tough choice as I've been on an awesome book kick lately, but I have to go with Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I'm obsessed!
2. Biggest Surprise:
Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly- I heard that this book was good, but I had no idea how awesome it was going to be. Jennifer Donnelly is a new author (to me!) that I now love.
3. Biggest Letdown:
Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick- Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book and thought it was extremely entertaining, but sadly, it wasn't as good as Hush, Hush. I still gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars though, because it's pure mind candy.
4. Favorite Post:
My "Must Read" Classics
5. Favorite Part of November:
My mini-vacation to Florida and of course, Thanksgiving.
I hope everyone has had a great month! I can't believe December starts tomorrow. It feels just like yesterday when I was on the beach with a good book basking in the summer sun. Time flies! One thing is for sure though....I am excited for the holiday season!
