November: What I Read

 Spoiler: I read mostly blogs! And! I loved them. It was a delight to read about your lives, and I feel so grateful for this wonderful blogging community. I did not comment as much as I should have, but I read everything in my feedly every day-- what a joy. I will miss opening that tab and seeing so many unread posts.

When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate: The idea of this book is fascinating, but the book itself left a little to be desired. *Audio

Shred Sisters by Betsy Lerner: This was funny and sweet, and I think I meant to read it last year but have been on a Libby hold forever **Audio

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan: I loved this although the CBBC had mixed reviews. *Kindle

Mother Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon: This was adorable, and I loved it. *Audio

Happy Wife by Meredith Lavender: This was a rare Read with Jenna that disappointed. **2025

Mean Moms by Emma Rosenblum: Loved this. She is a fun read all the time-- so gossipy and clever. I still laugh a little when I think of Pippins Cottage Home and out visit to Hill House Home last summer *2025

Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson: I really liked this. The tl;dr is WE NEED MORE HOUSES, but I loved the variety of historical examples and the smart but still approachable commentary. *kindle *2025

Count My Lies by Sophie Stava: This was a great twisty thriller with fun characters. *Audio

The Names by Florence Knapp: Suzanne mentioned that she was reading this, so I snagged it from the walk in section at my library and devoured it while the girls were at dance-- SO GOOD YOU GUYS. *2025

The Black Wolf by Louise Penny: Oh yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I got into these books when Minnie was tiny and would only sleep in the Ergo and I walked and walked and walked around my neighborhood 3 times a day. I love this series more than any other. **2025 **Audible
