The second to last month of the year! Ah!
November was a writing month, so not as much reading got done, but there were so many gems.
To read what I’ve read this year by month:
January // February // March // April // May // June // July // August // September // October
And here’s November’s list:
52. Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered
by Austin Kleon – a wonderful sequel to Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative
. I borrowed these both from the library, but will be buying them soon.
53. Circle of Nine: Beltany
by Valerie Biel – I met Valerie at the UW Writer’s Conference this spring and am so glad I did! Her debut YA novel is delightful.
54. Population: 485
by Michael Perry – I have started this, but not finished it. I needed to let my library books below jump the line because of due dates. Can’t wait to get back to it, though!
55. Gone Girl: A Novel
by Gillian Flynn – I finally got a copy from the library to see what all the fuss was about. The fuss is well-deserved. Gillian Flynn creates a plot like no other, full of twists and turns. The main characters, Nick and Amy Dunne, are both wholly unlikeable, yet their story is captivating. I polished this off in a single 6-hour reading marathon on the way home from Kansas over Thanksgiving. Do not read alone at night.
Did you read anything surprisingly good over the holiday break?
