A little late, but still squeaking in my haul for November - it's a good one! I've already read and enjoyed three of these...
Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging
by Sebastian Junger was one of those books that I had added to my queue earlier in the month and got lucky with the two week checkout shelf! It's a short and powerfully interesting read.
The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE books and it's the next book we're reading with my nine year old!
When Santa Fell To Earth
by Cornelia Funke is also for the nine year old, as I stocked up on some holiday books for him as well as Henry and Mudge and a Very Merry Christmas
for the six year old.
I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual
by Luvvie Ajayi has been on my TBR for awhile and I'm even more excited to read it after listening to the podcast of the Seattle Public Library event she did with Lindy West. This was also a choice reads pick, so I may take advantage and keep it for a few months.
A Monster Calls
by Patrick Ness is coming to theaters next month, and although I'm not sure if I will see the movie, the buzz about the book (and author) had me curious. So far, it's beautiful stuff.
The Wangs vs. the World
by Jade Chang got a lot of hype when it first came out, but the reviews I'm seeing aren't stellar. So, we'll see...
The Couple Next Door
by Shari Lapena was a Book of the Month selection I passed up, but was curious enough to put a hold on and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
New digital books in the queue:
Salt to the Sea
by Ruta Sepetys
The Knife of Never Letting Go
by Patrick Ness
(I put both of these on hold after listening to Anne Bogel's week of children's literature podcasts, particularly this one. Both books have been on my radar, and this podcast put them over the edge for me.)
Silver Sparrow
by Tayari Jones (Brit Bennett was featured on one of my favorite Instagram accounts, Subwaybookreview, reading this book. Her description and enthusiasm for it sent me straight to my library holds.)
Still in the queue:
Good as Gone
by Amy Gentry (the Book of the Month description got me curious!)
The Sleepwalker
by Chris Bohjalian (a NetGalley ARC)
The Animators
by Kayla Rae Whitaker (another NetGalley ARC, also out in January)
The Raven King
by Maggie Steifvater
Shelter: A Novel
by Jung Yun
Moonburner
by Claire Luana
You Will Know Me
by Megan Abbott
Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of a Fist
by Sunil Yapa
As always, I'm interested in any thoughts/if you've read the books on this list or others I should know about!
