November Wrap-Up + December TBR

So... December already. November was a pretty busy month for me! Writing, school... Life in general. I only completed one book this month, but I have a few in progress.

~ BOOKS I READ ~

Beautiful Sacrifice by Jamie McGuire

Reviews: 3

November-favorite: -

Pages read: 550 aproximately

WRITING:

NaNoWriMo was exciting and time-consuming! I'll write a more detailed post on it later, but generally, it went well! In December I'll continue to edit the story.

CURRENT OBSESSIONS:

~ DECEMBER ~
I'll try to read some Christmas-themed books in December, cause I really want to find my Christmas spirit.

What have you read in November?

October Wrap-up + November TBR

Since I am wrapped up in my writing/editing, this will be a short wrap-up. I didn't have as much time to read in October as I would have wanted, and unfortunately, I won't be reading almost anything in November either because of NaNoWriMo.

~ BOOKS I READ ~

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

Fortunately, though, the books I did read I really enjoyed. One of the reviews are up, the other one is in the making.

Reviews: 3
October-favorite: An Ember In the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
Pages read: 850
In Progress: Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch

WRITING: 
During October, my writing was generally slow, but I plan to more than make up for that during NaNoWriMo this month!

CURRENT OBSESSIONS:

• Candles of all sizes, everywhere
• My new cozy sweater

~ NOVEMBER ~
Like I mentioned above, I won't be having a TBR this month because of NaNoWriMo. Frankly, I plan to not read anything at all, and instead put all of my spare-time into my writing project. I have already done 1/4 weeks of NaNo and I will post an update here soon.

I hope you are all enjoying the last month of autumn, and reading lots of great books. Are you writing, too?

September: Wrap up + October TBR

This month has been good, but even though August feels like years ago I can't believe yesterday was the last of September. Anyways, this was my reading-month.

~ BOOKS I READ ~

Legend by Marie Lu

I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

1984 by George Orwell
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

The review for I'll Give you The Sun is already posted, both the others I am still working on. Titles are linked to Goodreads!

Reviews: 5
September-favorite: I'll Give you The Sun was amazing.
Pages read: 980
In progress: None

I've also read about seven different manuscripts for school this month, which have taken time. I'm so looking forward to Fall break in a month when I'll have lots of time for reading, hopefully.

WRITING: 
This month I printed the first draft of my fictional story, and I had never before printed something I'd written so it was a pretty big deal. Now I'm in the process of editing but things are going slow. I hope I can pick up inspiration and speed during October, and then NaNoWriMo is upon us after that! Puh...

CURRENT OBSESSIONS:
• What little spare time I can find
• My new Bookstagram-account, @teacupreads , do check it out if you want to :)

~ OCTOBER ~
• An Ember in the Ashes
• Blue Lily, Lily Blue
• Throne of Glass

All of these books I have recently gotten home (bookhaul is on its way) and I'm so excited to read them, I'll definitely make space in my calender to read them during October. I like to leave some space though in my monthly TBR so that I can read whatever I feel most like :)

What have you been reading in September? What are your plans for October?

In Progress: Legend by Marie Lu

I didn't have time to read as much this month as I did the last, with school starting up again and everything. But the books I read were good and I have made a time-schedule for my writing to keep going on the manuscript I'm working on. If it works out as I have planned, I'll be roughly finished by Christmas :)

I'll also continue to write on my first draft of my fiction story, like I mentioned above, and just generally celebrate autumn with tea, candles and rain-soundtracks. Another thing I'm excited about is, a few days ago, I got an Instagram-account called @brundellsbooks so I'll be posting photos there as well!

Did you read something good this month? What do you like to read in the fall? :)
