What I've Been Reading: November

I’ve been relying pretty heavily on audio-books, lately. At one time, I only read them while driving and read printed books at home, but I’ve been just letting the audio book do it’s thing at home more and more. This is really a testament to the books I've been reading, to. Some books are harder to put on hold than others. This feels a little bit like cheating at my reading. Not because I don’t think audiobooks are "real" reading, but because I’m usually listening to them while working on other things, which seems somehow disrespectful to stories when I should be focusing on a book… does that even make sense!? No!! I think, though, reading as a multi-task activity feels like it defeats the purpose of reading, sometimes.

Anywhoo. Incoherent rambling aside, I’ve complete 7 books in November so far. Here's the highlight reel

The Creeping Shadow: Love it. This is the 4th book in the Lockwood and Co series. I reviewed the first three as a series almost a year ago (AKA, before the great graphics fiasco of 2017 so excuse the lack of eye candy). In this book, Lucy is making a name for herself but joins back up with Lockwood and Co for a final investigation or two. Or is it because she's in love with Anthony Lockwood. I think we all know the truth.

The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic is like Outlander with wizardy/witchcraft... Which I guess is like The Discovery of Witches but this one has demons?.... either way. It was good but I think the ending was too up in the air.


The Witches of New York was also good but the ending was also a wee too quick of a wrap up. But the world building was good and the characters were awesome. 

I reread Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and really liked it. I don't know why I thought I hated it last time. I'm reading book two right now, which is less good, to be honest, but entertaining.
