I'm trying to find a good routine and I may have figured it out which hopefully means a better reading schedule. Here are the books I hope to read (to get points for my team), the last two are hopeful reads if I finish the rest. As you can see, I'm focusing on trying to read a lot of Netgalley books!

My Tentative TBR for December:

• Ten Rules to Faking It by Sophie Sullivan (Netgalley)
  
• You Have a Match by Emma Lord (Netgalley)
  
• Shipped by Angie Hockman (Netgalley)
  
• Grace & Fury by Tracy Banghart (Physical)

October Book Haul

I really have to stop hauling books. It's getting rough LOL. This month I received 2 Owlcrate books (the special edition I preordered and my regular sub), I won a Goodreads giveaway, I received 4 Netgalley books, and borrowed 6 books from the library (4 of which I read, 1 I returned without reading, and 1 I'm currently reading). It's a lot of books. :/

November TBR & Monthly Challenge

I'm joining in on another month of the Words & Whimsy reading challenge. It's such a fun group and even more fun to have fellow bookworms to talk to throughout the month while doing picture challenges and mini challenges and even 48 hour challenges! This month's theme is May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor. I don't have a lot of dystopian left on my TBR, so I tried my best to fit books to the prompts. Last month I read 9 books and got so close to reading all the books on my TBR. I just had 2 left, so I may try and fit those in this month. I have some chonkers on the list this month, but also a lot of Netgalley too.

My TBR for November:

• The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisen (Library)
• The Toll by Neal Shusterman (Hardcover)
• The Young Elites by Marie Lu (Kindle)
• Cat's Got Your Heart by Jem Zero (Netgalley)
• Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman (Hardcover)
• The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton (Hardcover)
• The Graces by Laura Eve (Netgalley)
• The Rains by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz (Netgalley)
