Happy Friday!
Is it just me or are you as excited for the weekend as I am!
This past month I tried something new, I decided to take my reading to new highs. I caved & tried out audiobooks… I have always been very against audiobooks since I like physically reading & holding the book. But I found it has actually been really calming to listen to while working out or even have on at work. This month I got through a whole bunch of reading & I am so thankful for the cold weather for giving me an excuse to not leave my house!
So with November coming to an end, here is my November Reading Recap & current TBR list!
2018 Reading Challenge
– 37/50
Currently reading:
The Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwall
The Girl With The Lower back Tattoos by Amy Schumer
Completed in November:
- Essentialism by Greg McKeown
- Sunburn by Laura Lippman
- Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton
- Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop
- Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
- Every Breath by Nicholas Sparks
- Get Your Sh*t Together by Sarah Knight
My Thoughts:
- Essentialism: So this was my first time trying out an Audiobook & I am now hooked. Unfortunately, this book was not what I expected & I am so glad I did not waste any valuable time actually reading this book. I did learn a little but I feel like Greg should have made it shorter…
- Sunburn: Kind of an odd book, there were so many different things happening at once that I found it pretty confusing to follow along & totally didn’t expect so many twists & turns.
- Soul Surfer: I’ve always wanted to read this book, but never bought it, so when I found it as a free e-book I figured why not. Honestly not sure how I feel about it. I mean Bethany is an extraordinary person for going through so much at a young age, I just wasn’t crazy about the book for some reason.
- Unfu*k Yourself: I think this was the kick in the butt I needed. If you feel like you need a ‘tell it how it is’ & stop doing this if you want to accomplish this, you will enjoy this book!
- Little White Lies: Honestly did not expect this book to be so addicting, apparently it’s the first in the series & i’ll be here patiently waiting to read the next few.
- Every Breath: God Bless Nicholas Sparks. He has done it again!
- Get Your Sh*t Together: Not a bad book at all, if you are looking for a nudge or a kick in the butt to get things together, I highly recommend. Plus it’s also an easy read, very to the point & doesn’t go on & on like other books.

Your reading list motivates me every time. I decided that my New Year’s Resolution/Goal is to read more. Starting on January 1, I will read more books in one year than ever before! What’s gotta give? Perhaps the daily newspaper, magazines, or TV shows. Maybe less time screwing around on Snapchat too?!?
Thanks! Reid “Dutch Lion” W.
