My November started really productive, I read 3 books in the first half of the month, but then I started Ninth House and the pace slowed down, though I got to read Normal People and reread A Court of Frost and Starlight, both in a total of five days.

And talking of Normal People, I read it because some people recommended it to me, plus I got to choose it as my town's book club pick for November, so that's it. And in this book I found a romance I didn't expect, and I think I developed that same relationship the main characters have between them but with the book itself, a kind of love-hate, because I don't usually like romances, but this story made me think about people's functioning and their behaviour with other people, and how nobody is normal at the end. So I enjoyed the book while thinking "what the actual heck? Just speak the truth!" every five minutes. I also hated the end, but after the whole story it makes sense, so I liked it too. I know my thoughts on it are a bit contradictory, but it is what it is. I'm thinking about writing a review on it, but we'll see.

As always, I hope you had a great month and got to read amazing books! If you want to take a look at my reviews on the books I've read this month click on their titles.
