november: 51 & 52

november was incredibly stressful, mostly because i did not see the stress coming and did not mentally prepare for it. ugh!  as a result, i didn't finish a single book until the thanksgiving break.  this month i read:

girl waits with gun, by amy stewart (detective novel with a twist - based on a real life female detective in 1910s new jersey.  well-developed characters, but the plot moved a little slowly for me.  i liked this one but won't be rushing out to recommend it to everyone i know.  this was a school book club read and i got the book for free - woo hoo!)

everything, everything, by nicola yoon (a lovely YA novel about a girl who has an autoimmune disorder and can't leave her house - but falls in love with the boy who moves in next door.  ugh i love a good YA novel.  this was a super quick read for me and i totally fell in love with the characters and the writing style and the little twist that happens near the end.  have definitely added the author's next book to my list!  highly recommend if you like YA.)
