Welcome to my November Wrap Up. I have had a great reading month, finishing 14 books (4 books off my TBR). I also received 4 ARC’s this month, and I continued my new goal of reading 1 Shakespeare play.
I have reviews up or coming up for these books so as usual this is just going to be a brief run down on each book I read.
Without further ado, let’s get into my November Wrap Up:
Making The Grade by Iain Hay: This book was awesome. It was required reading for University and I am glad that it was. I learnt a lot from this book and I will be referring to it many times during my future studies. A must have for all university students or soon to be university student
Helpful Heeler, Messiest Magpie, Nervous Numbat, Vocal Vampire Bat, Worrying Wombat, Yelling Yellow-Bellied Glider, and Zippiest Zebra Finch by Susannah McFarlane and Lachlan Creagh: I love this series so much. I have now collected all of the books. I love the stories and the illustrations, and I adore how Australian these books are. I haven’t got a bad word to say about this series. I love how the stories focus on different letters of the alphabet yet don’t compromise the story just to reinforce the chosen letter. I also love the messages that these books have and how they ask questions of the reader and include them in the story. Most of all I love seeing all of the different Australian Animals and activities featured in these amazing little books. The ‘Little Mates’ collection is a must have for all young readers.
Ho-Ho-Hopeless Santa by Rebecca Gerlings: I love a good Christmas book, and this one is up there as one of the best. I loved that the story was new and fun and the illustrations were absolutely beautiful. I can easily see this book be a favourite for young readers and the families this Christmas.
A Tale Of Witchcraft by Chris Colfer: I loved this book. After reading it predecessor I could wait to get my hands on this book. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. I am so happy that I have found this amazing series. Now I just have to wait for the next book to come out.
Heroes Next Door by Samuel Johnson and Hilde Hinton: This book was wonderful. I knew this was going to be an emotional read I just didn’t realise how emotional it would be. This book is filled with stories that were equally heartwarming and heartbreaking. Everyone should read this amazing book at least once in their life.
Senior Moments by Angus Fitzsimons: This book was entertaining in. I had some genuine laugh out loud moments whilst reading this book. I will admit that some of the references went over my head, but as this book is aimed at an older crowd, I wasn’t really surprised by that. This book is perfect for Senior readers.
Code Name Bananas by David Walliams: As expected this book was amazing. I am a massive fan of David Walliams’ books, and this was one of his best. I loved that it was set during World War Two and it had that element of History to it. This is a must have for all younger readers.
The Great Escape From Woodlands Nursing Home by Joanna Nell: This book was beautiful. The setting was so real, and the characters were a breath of fresh air. The story was both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and it will stay will me for a long time to come. A great book book that everyone should read at least once.
Shakespeare: I read 1 Shakespeare play in November. I read the following Shakespeare Play This Month:
Troilus and Cressida
That’s it for my November Wrap Up. I hope you all had a great reading month. Let me know what you guys read this month in the comments section.

Happy Reading…
