November Wrap-up.

This month was pure insanity. From moving into a new apartment, to completing and finishing NaNoWriMo, I had an incredibly successful reading month.

If you recall, I decided to take a trip back to my roots. I thought that reading some childhood favorites would help rekindle my love of reading. I was beginning to get burned out on heavy classics, so a month devoted to books that I cherished so much as a child was a welcome reprieve.

And wow. I was a reading machine. My husband thought I was insane as I flew from book to book, reliving memories from reading as a child. It was utter insanity.

In all, I finished 25 books. That is the most I have completed in at least three years for a single month. It put me back on track to hit 100+ books this year. And while part of me feels guilty for devoting an entire month to mostly children's literature, I feel so motivated to move forward in my own challenge.

Anyway, here is what I read in the month of November:

1. The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
3. The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
4. Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
6. The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis
7. The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
8. The BFG by Roald Dahl
9. Thunder Rolling in the Mountains by Scott O'Dell and Elizabeth Hall
10. Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder
11. Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
12. Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder
13. On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder
14. By the Shores of Silver Lake by Laura Ingalls Wilder
15. The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder
16. Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
17. These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

25. Matilda by Roald Dahl

I feel I should also point out that I am halfway through both Barchester Towers and The Metamorphosis. So, this month was an excellent month for me.

Crazy? Yes indeed. But I feel much better about refocusing, diving into War and Peace and all those other wonderful titles I pulled for on my nightstand.

I hope you all had a great month as well-how did you do?
