November Roundup


This photo was taken by my friend (holgachick) recently up in Northumberland where they have had about 10 inches of snow. There has been some snow here in the North West but not nearly as much. Time to recap my reading for November.

Completed - 2 books...
The Magic Apple Tree by Susan Hill
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
Currently Reading -
The Distance Between Us by Maggie O'Farrell
Caught by the River: A Collection of Words on Water (various authors)
TBR Pile - currently at 82 (according to GoodReads) with 2 books added...
Through the Kitchen Window by Susan Hill
Through the Garden Gate by Susan Hill
(I have become a bit of a fan!)
Challenges - finished Cranford for my 'read another Elizabeth Gaskell' directional reading challenge from January.
Wishlist Additions -
The Distant Hours: A Novel by Kate Morton
The Last Days of Ptolomy Grey by Walter Mosley
The Crossing Places: A Ruth Galloway Mystery by Elly Griffiths
Half a Life by Darin Strauss
Discoveries - More country living books by Susan Hill from the '80s
Events - The Book Blogger Holiday Swap (see my sidebar). Mine is parcelled up and ready to go to its surprise destination. Such a great idea and thanks to Nicole from Linus's Blanket for hosting this.
Christmas is well and truly on its way. Hope you are warm and toastie where you are!
