November was definitely the slowest month for me in reading and blogging all year. I barely posted anything, and read a total of 6 books. I had ambitions for this month, I promise, but things just didn't work out and now I've got a lot more books on my TBR that I'd been hoping to finish before the end of the year... all crammed into December.
It looks like I'm either going to have to get more ambitious... or just call it a day and screw my reading list! I'll read what I want!

Favorite reads: Really, Tessa Dare made my month great, what with everything being so slow in November. My most favorite read was, obviously, Any Duchess Will Do, with the other Tessa Dare books following very closely behind.
Disappointing reads: I wouldn't necessarily say that I was disappointed in any books, really... except maybe the one book took me a while to finish... which took some motivation to finish that last chapter... more on that later...

Coming Up In December
Tentative TBR
Other Stuff
The above tentative list of books I want to read in December isn't as ambitious as I thought it would be, but at the rate that I'm going (and if history is to show a pattern), I'll probably be lucky to finish most of them at all. Especially since I've still got three books currently being read.
Nonetheless, my main goal is to get those books read, and become more active on my blog for this last month of 2017, at least. And hopefully I can stick to that, but it almost seems easier just to go into a slump and stay there for the first three months of the next year... much like I did this year. Very tempting...
I think I'll just take it day-by-day at this point.
