Happy December! 🥳🎄✨
I can’t believe it’s December already, like how is time going so fast? It’s my birthday month (december 16th) and Christmas is coming up so I can’t complain, though!
As for my reading of November… I participated in Nonfiction November and it shows in the books I have read since they’re all nonfiction. I really enjoyed most of them and found some new all time favorites!

Have you read any of these books?
What was your favorite book of the month?
Happy birthday! I hope you have a good December.
Thank you! 🥳
Wow, you had a great month. And considering non fiction can take more time and concentration to read (at least for me), I’m impressed!
Thanks! 😀 For me it depends on the topic if it takes more concentration
You did have a great month of reading. I would like to read The Map of Knowledge.
It was a fantastic read!
Yay birthday month! Haha, I read way less nonfiction than I meant to in November, just skipped right to the holiday reads!
You already felt the holiday joy!
It’s my birthday month too! (10th) 🙂
Great job with reading! Happy December!
Yay for December babies! 😀
I have read many great books this month and I can’t believe it’s December already either!
PS Thank you for noticing my mistake with the best reads of…
My eagles’ eye saves the day!
So many nonfiction books Stephanie, great. I have not read any of them, but they sound interesting to me. I have three books about Byzantium by Norwich, of which I have only read the first one. You have a few a want to read as well.
I think you did very well with nonfiction reading this months.
I’d love to read Norwich’s Byzantium books. It’s one of my favorite eras in history!
A very interesting time, is it not?
Looks like you had a great reading month. Happy December – and happy (early) birthday already!
Happy birthday! Have a great December reading month.
I hope that you have a wonderful birthday, Stephanie! You read so many interesting books in November and I hope that December is just as fantastic!
