November Wrap-Up
- Finished: 5
- Started but not finished: 3
- Total pages read: 2,125
- Average rating: 3.75
I finished two novels in November, Leigh Bardugo’s young adult fantasy duology Six of Crows (4/5 stars) and Crooked Kingdom (also 4/5 stars). I had hoped that they’d both be instant five-star reads, but unfortunately, they didn’t quite live up to the hype. I did give both four stars, because I liked the worldbuilding and in the end, even came to care for a few of the characters.

Nonfiction Books
In
November, I continued with my Old School Books Project I started in October,
but with a much slower pace. I only finished one book, which was my old high
school history book. I also read two nonfiction books about the ancient Greek
novels, Ebbe Vilborg’s commentary on Achilles Tatius’ Leucippe and Clitophon
and Greek Fiction: The Greek Novel in Context edited by J.R. Morgan and
Richard Stoneman.
December Hopefuls

| December hopefuls |
I’m
currently reading Lauren Groff’s The Vaster Wilds, and I’m planning to read
two other novels before Christmas: Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower
and Jacqueline Harpman’s I Who Have Never Known Men. I also want to read
two nonfiction books about the ancient Greek novels: Ancient Fiction: The
Novel in the Graeco-Roman Antiquity by Graham Anderson and Vision and
Narrative in Achilles Tatius’ Leucippe and Clitophon by Helen Morales. And I
want to finish my old high school biology textbook. During the holidays, I would
love to read two or three novels, but I don’t know yet which books I’ll pick up.
