November 2024 TBR

The clock changing always feels like a momentous part of each year. Now the nights are darker and the opportunity to stay in to read is welcome. This month’s TBR is shorter than some I have earlier in the year, and feels manageable. I only have one library book on this month’s list; in October I ended up reading two books that others had reserved that weren’t on the original plan!

    Nice list. I’ve got Iconicon on my wishlist so will be interested to see what you think of that.
