Happy November! How was your Halloween? I gave out lots of candy to trick-or-treaters and also a few ARC’s. I received a cold in return- boo! This month we have Thanksgiving, Novels, Mustaches, and a return to Stars Hollow to enjoy. Here’s what’s on my radar this month:

What are you watching and reading this month?
The Sun is Also a Star was really good. I hope you like it!! I’m super excited for All in Pieces… and Die For You sounds SO good. I’d never heard of it before, but that has me written all over it!!! I also can’t WAIT for more Stars Hollow 🙂
Love Your list of books. The chemist by Stephenie Meyer is a book I’m very interested in. Read all of her other books. Not so fan of Twilight today, even though I did love it when I first read the series. But love The host. Anna Kendrick is one of my favorite Young actors. I love her. Can’t wait to read the book 🙂
Sorry about your cold! I got a copy of All in Pieces last week and it sounds so good! Die for You is a new one for me. It looks amazing! I’m adding it to my wish list right now.
I’m beyond excited for Gilmore Girls! 😀 I can’t wait!!
I’m listening to The Sun is Also a Star and it’s great so far!
