I have never imposed a book buying ban on myself before, but after this month…I’m considering it. It always feels like a betrayal to the library to purchase books. This was an abnormally large amount of new books for me to purchase in one month, but all but 2 of these were purchased at a book warehouse that isn’t too far from me that does a monthly sale where they offer books 70% off. I had never been before, but I went on Black Friday and they had a ton of Fantasy series that I’ve had my eye on for a while, and I went a little crazy. Without further ado, here’s everything I purchased or acquired in November.

That’s a total of 26 books. I had already read 6 of them prior to purchasing them (the first four books in the Louise Penny series, Malice, and The Shadow of What Was Lost). If you’re familiar with some of those series, you’ll know that I only got one complete set, the James Islington series is just a trilogy. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to fill in some of the other missing titles on future book trips.
Stay tuned for my 2024 reading goals later this month, because my growing TBR is definitely going to be a factor in at least one of my goals. I’m also planning to take on the task of counting my physical TBR. Keep me in your thoughts, because I have 5 bookshelves in 3 different rooms, so this is no small task.
