I really enjoyed the audiobook of Exit, too, thought it was a great adaptation! I've got Snap from the library in my hand luggage at the moment, I'm optimistic it will return to the UK read

This new wishlist thing sounds great shall have to be tactical about what I use it for...£5 off £20 is less good when you accidentally spend £40

Omg that's great to hear, I have Snap to read now (duplicate reply lol, reading the thread in reverse whoops). I preferred Exit to Rubber Necker but both were great, the Shut Eye too but that one hurrrrt. I love how emotionally complex her crime writing is. I think it's something I find in Mick Herron's writing too, on the spy genre side of things.

I enjoyed the A-Z challenge this year. I’ve just started Z and will start X tomorrow as they’re kindle/book format so can read both alongside each other. I’ve added all my pictures to a template and it’s looks so satisfying, I’ll post it when I’ve actually finished the reading.

Only 7 books for me this month, no stand put reads, my favourite was probably The Librarian by Salley Vickers. I set myself 100 book target and l m only on 87 so think I fail this year. Next year will start using Storygraph instead of goodreads and track an A to Z challenge.

Here’s my November reads

Favourite: Before My Actual Heart Breaks.
Merry Christmas Kitten was a very fun, short read which I loved too! Silent Child was predictable but I couldn’t put it down. Far fetched in places though.

Least favourite: Hazel’s Christmas Duet. Terrible in fact. A romance with no romance! And a lot of inconsistencies with one of the main characters. Spoiler: he was meant to be blind but the author made mistakes with how this was portrayed. I felt they did no research into blindness and as it’s something I have personal experience with the errors were really obvious to me..
I also found Really Good Actually quite a drag.
I wish I had DNF it.

I was just coming on to say that I'm staying up late to see what Amazon offers tomorrow. Most of the daily deals for November were terrible but I did manage to get 3 of my wishlist books for 99p.

I'm getting ready for it because I'm setting a goal of not buying any new books next year and Kindle daily/monthly deals are a killer for me 🥲

I did a no Amazon shopping/kindle buying this year and have stuck to it used the library a lot this year for the first time too and I'm loving it. I went in today and they had a Christmas tree made of old books, and a post box for Christmas cards which the local knitting group had knitted a cover for I should have taken a photo I'll try to remember next time I go in!

I’ve managed one audio book this month - Britney’s autobiography. I don’t like rating autobiographies but I feel so bad for her with what she has been through.

I’m going to try The Five by Hallie Rubenhold next.

I’ve not got time to go through them this morning but have just seen the story edit on insta has posted them, so I’ll have a browse with a cuppa later on

I’m feeling all Christmassy this morning so I expect there’ll be a few Christmas ones going on, even if they’re for future years.
