The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff

The Woman Warrior
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two
The Quiet American
A Sky Beyond the Storm
The Corset
Dune
I want to read:Either Unearthly or the Time Traveler's Wife this month. Because these books have been on my tbr list on GR ever since I got on here.
Furthermore, I'd like to finish:
- Old Souls
- Romanov audio book
- All for One
Update 11/26: ok, I got started on Unearthly. Hope to get a great move on this book over the weekend. The books to finish, will be for next month
I'm so looking forward to this. I'm hoping to get rid of some of my long-standing tbrs this way.TBR left fitting the challenge:
⫸ The Nightingale
⫸ Stalking Jack the Ripper
⫸ NOS4R2 - currently reading
⫸ The God Delusion
⫸ Broken Homes
READ for the challenge:
1. A Darkness at Sethanon - done: although I will never read this series again I'm very satisfied - fitting conclusion to this series
2. You Loved Me At My Ugliest - done: the exact opposite of above: such a disappointment in comparison to its two predecessors
3. Shadow Knights - done: definitely a steady series, can't wait to read the conclusion.
4. Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood - done: a heartfelt book I recommend to anyone.
5. The Unhoneymooners - done: yeah, nah.
6. Lady Midnight - done: not too bad actually.
7. The Midnight Lie - done: the longer I think about it the more I like it.
8. Hidden Knights - done: I'm sad to report it isn't the epic conclusion I'd hoped for.
9. Little Fires Everywhere - done: although i found the themes displayed extremely relevant, the narration style literally ruined it all for me.
10. Rebel of the Sands - done: just bout good enough to continue the series.
11. One Day in December - done: ugh, all the feelz (TM). Brilliant!
12. The Court of Miracles - done: i did not expect to rave about this book the way I did.
13. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares - done: okay I guess.
14. One of Us Is Next - done: pretty much as good as the first one.
15. The Sandman - done: what an extraordinary reading experience.
16. In a Holidaze - done: yeah..well.
Hoping I get through all of these- at least this month I'm sticking fully to the challenge in all books but one! :) - Assassin's Apprentice

I'm so excited for this one! I'm most likely just going to be listing a ton of books and seeing what I can get to.

I'm having a hard time focusing too. During the week it's just impossible for me to get any reading done.
So in total this month I finished 5 books and got most of the way through Feed, so not too bad for me overall!!!
