It finally rained in California!!! I love the rain because it means getting cozy, staying indoors, and reading books! This month went so fast, but I managed to read 7 books. This is way less than the 12 books I was planning on, but I am still pleased with my progress. I also did 27 blog posts, and start crafting again. Plus my holiday shopping for most of the family is complete!
Books Read this month:
My favorite book of the month has to be Unrooted by Naomi Novik. It was a YA book that was so original and gripping that I couldn't put it down. Crossing To Safety by Wallace Stegner, was also a favorite because it has so much to say about long-term marriages and the hopes and disappointments of life. I like reading a variety of genres each month and these two really epitomized the best of their book type.
What was your favorite read of the month? Did you meet your reading goals? Let me know in the comments.

November Game Plan:
My TBR pile is getting out of control!!! I have six ARCs to read from NetGalley and a few books that friends have lent to me, so I need to tackle this. My list is very ambitious, but I will get a week off for Thanksgiving, so I can hunker down and read (between making pumpkin treats). These are the books I plan to read in November:
Armada by Ernest Cline
Crystallum (ARC) by Laney McMann
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
The Sisters of Versailles (ARC) by Sally Christie
Stars over Sunset Boulevard (ARC) by Susan Meissner
The Road to Little Dribbling (ARC) by Bill Bryson
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

Now for the Giveaway:
When I began this blog in back in February, I didn't know what I was doing. I would post a few entries each month, and hope someone would read them. I didn't know about street teams, NetGalley, Twitter chats or anything! I certainly didn't anticipate finding so many like-minded people who love books as much as I do.
So much has changed! I am now a regular on Twitter and have about 230 followers and (counting all the different methods of following) I have over 100 followers to my blog! This is amazing to me. As anyone can tell you, you aren't going to get rich as a blogger. But my life is becoming more enriched each day by the connections I am making with followers and fellow bloggers.
As a thank you, I am having my first giveaway! The prize will be one physical copy of the book Black Widow: Forever Red by Margaret Stohl. Check out the Rafflecopter contest box and enter to win. You must follow this blog to enter!
