01/11/2025 - 30/11/2025
In the month of November, I could not keep a consistent log so instead I've listed some things that I definitely know I've read based off notes I took.
I was stressed out so naturally I read an astounding amount of trashy romance - I'd put my estimate at around 25+ books which is not too bad compared to the dreaded November of 2021.
Anyways, onto the list!
