Happy December! πŸ₯³πŸŽ„βœ¨

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!

  1. 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.
