November 2023 Book Haul

I have hauled more than I'd like to lately so I tried to go a bit more lowkey in November. Then I hauled 10 books. To be fair, I have read 7 of 10 books hauled and I'm currently reading 1 of the unread books. And my plan is to read the last 2 books this month. We'll see how that goes :) I will say that I'm at 78% of hauled books read for the year and I'm really happy about that!
