What I Read: November

I only managed to read 4 books last month but I LOVED all of them so it's okay. :)


These Is My Words (Sarah Agnes Prine, #1)These is my Words by Nancy E. Turner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a good book!!! It was easy to read and easy to get sucked into and I couldn't put it down. It was heart breaking and thought provoking and made me want to reevaluate my life. It made me more grateful for the things I take for granted every day and made me think about what is truly important in my life. I fell in love with Sarah and loved watching her through the trials and joys in her life. I adored Jack and couldn't help but smile whenever she talked about him. Beautiful, beautiful story!!!



Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)Finale (Hush, Hush #4) by Becca Fitzpatrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought this was a great ending to the series. I loved that there was plenty of romance, action, and twists. My only complaint was that the ending seemed a bit rushed and the epilogue was a bit cheesy. Other than that I really enjoyed the book and the series over all. Can't wait to see what Becca Fitzpatrick writes next!




Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven, #3)Grip of the Shadow Plague (Fablehaven #3) by Brandon Mull
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great book in the series.  I am thoroughly enjoying reading these with my daughter.  Brandon Mull is such a fantastic writer and I love that he's not afraid to use "big" words.  My daughter and I have had many discussions on vocab words from this book.  ;)




Endlessly (Paranormalcy, #3)Endlessly (Paranormalcy #3) by Kiersten White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the perfect end to the series. There was so much that happened and it was such a fun ride. Evie is one of my favorite characters ever. She is so fun and witty and I love her voice and all the emotions she feels. And the supporting characters are just as great, too. Such a fun series and I am truly sad to see it end. Time for a re-read. :)
