~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So obviously I have been adding a lot of books to my shelves that need to be read. I must admit that a large portion will not be read until next year as I am slowly working on collecting some series I want to read.  I also have been amassing some Christmas books in preparation for my Advent Reads so those two items and completing my challenges are going to be the focus of November.

So on my TBR this month . . .



So what will you be reading in November? Do you read more or less during the holiday season?  If you haven't finished your challenges yet, are you pushing to get them complete or are you just reading what you can and not pushing for challenges?
