November was a good month for me. I read four novellas and five novels, including Mary, The Saturday Night Ghost Club, and The Daughters of Block Island. I'm adding She Who Rules the Dead to my tbr list.

[@Phobophile]

I might be adding some of those to my own list.

She Who Rules the Dead sounds awesome. I will have to add that to the list!
November was a slower month for me only 8 books but I crossed off several that had been on my tbr finally.
From Below by Darcy Coates
Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes (really liked this one)
What Lurks Beneath by Ryan Lockwood
Ring by Koji Suzuki (very interesting after having seen most of the adaptations)
Drood by Dan Simmons (Was not at all what I was expecting)
Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente (This is a short little novella that I didn't know much about but that was recced on reddit. Was a surprising hit for me)
The Atlas Six by Olivia Blake
The Curse of the Brimstone Contract by Corrina Lawson (A steampunk magical Holmes-esque style series that I found to be a lot of fun)
Happy Reading and I hope you have a lovely holiday season!

Looks like a good list. I’ve read some and others look intriguing.

My November reading was mostly bad but there were some good ones.
-Below Us by Nathan Hystad was a good robots monsters and mayhem book.
-Mrs. Calaban by Rachel Ingalls is like The Shape of Water but it was written in 1982.
-Michael Connelly's new book Resurrection Walk was very good (in the Lincoln Lawyer series but Bosch is there too)

[@Phobophile]

I’ll have to check those out. Especially the Connelly-I haven’t read one of his in years, and I should rectify that.

[@SyntaxNexus]

Honest question. How do you find the time. Any time management techniques you can offer? I always feel busy but never get much accomplished.. 😁

[@Phobophile]

I’ve been asking the same question, honestly. Having a good calendar helps but I know I could be a lot more efficient.
