Wow, no posts between last RTW and this one. And technically, it has become RTThursday. I don't even know what happened to me, honestly. It took me ten minutes to remember where I was on Friday, because I realize that I missed Friday Fives (I was at my in-laws' house, because it was the day after Thanksgiving. I legit just forgot that for a little while.)
And somehow, even though this prompt is always the same, it always catches me unprepared.
What is the best book you read in November?
I read some doozies this month: Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver and If I Stay by Gayle Forman were both pretty great, but completing my trilogy of [SPOILER! SPOILER ALERT!] car-crash novels was the real stand-out, Looking For Alaska by John Green. It absolutely demolished me in a way a book hasn't done in a while.
And now, November is over, and we are on to December. A new marking period is starting soon, it's almost Christmas, and one of my classes just finished a very big and onerous project. I started a project I'm really excited about during NaNoWriMo, and even though I didn't make NaNo-speed progress on it, I'm feeling good about it. Onward and upward!
I'm with you on the project started during NaNo! I too am super excited about my shiny new-ish project but was unable to match NaNo speed. Ah well. The point is that we have projects we are excited about to work on, right?
ReplyDeleteI have John Green's An Abundance of Katherines sitting on my bedside table waiting to be read :)
BEFORE I FALL is on my TBR list. Definitely.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jaime, you have to read AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES--right after you've read LEVIATHAN. Okay? ;)
