I will start by saying that my top book for this year is Beyond That The Sea. My November reading was all over the place. I hit my reading challenge for the year and for some reason the pressure was off and i felt like i should catch up with my odds and ends of books in my Audible library and TBR on the library site. I finally read I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes since there was so much talk about his new book that you mentioned. It was my favorite book of November. However These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant is the book that has me still thinking about the meaning of the book. Additionally, Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan has put me on a quest for all Irish literature. Lastly, my husband’s birthday was in the beginning of November and we went out for dinner and i toasted him with a tiramisu martini. I could have forgone dinner and just drank martinis because they were that good. That is my loving lately that is not book related for the month of November.

Wow, love hearing that Beyond that the sea is your top book of the year- I have a feeling it might sneak in my top 10, it was such a wonderful story. I'm glad you read I Am Pilgrim, I had a strong feeling you'd like it. Your bday dinner with your husband sounds fun! My husband loves dirty martinis but tiramisu sounds much better than his - I'm a boring pinot Grigio girl:)

It was tied with Hello Beautiful. I can’t really explain what put it over the top as number one. I will be posting my top 10 books on Patreon of the year before Christmas. Also, my usual drink is Pinot Noir.

I loved reading your reflections, Renee! I hope you are feeling better. I moved Beyond That, the Sea to my short stack to try to read before the end of the year.
