Monthly wrap up for September, October & November!

November wrap up

Apparently I've forgotten to make a monthly wrap up for both September and October - so here you go; a 3-month wrap up, all in one!

Books read

September

1. The Carrie Diaries (The Carrie Diaries, #1) by Candace Bushnell ★★★
2. Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3) by Stephanie Perkins  ★★★★
3. Counting Stars by Keris Stainton ★★★ (review)
4. A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf ★★★★★

I started studying comparative literature at the university so 4 books is not that bad in comparison to how much homework I had to do! I also found a love for Virginia Woolf this month and I've acquired the majority of her books since then...
The Carrie Diaries is basically my favorite tv-show so I couldn't wait to read it. Turns out the show is sooo much better than the series! I didn't like any of the characters and I just didn't get the same 'old'-times feel as I do watching the series.

October

1. Prometheus by Aischylos ★★★★
2. King Oedipus by Sofokles ★★★★
3. Svøm med dem som drukner (Swim with those who drown) by Lars Mytting ★★★★
4. Medea by Euripides ★★★ (re-read)
5. When I Was Me by Hilary Freeman ★★★ (review)
6. Beowulf by anonymous ★★★
7. The ACB of Honora Lee by Kate De Goldi ★★★★ (review)
8. Everyman by anonymous ★★★
9. You (You, #1) by Caroline Kepnes ★★★★★ (audiobook)
10. George by Alex Gino ★★★★ (audiobook)
11. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf ★★★★
12. The Shamer's Daughter by Lene Kaaberbøl ★★★★

Definitely did a lot better reading wise in October than in September! I read a bunch of plays and a bit of medieval literature since it was a class I took and I had to read 5 books from medieval times and 5 books from ancient times - I quite liked everything I read! 

I also found my love for audiobooks once I again, as I do once in a while! 

November

1. Odes by Horats ★★★
2. Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon ★★★★
3. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov ★★★
4. Fight Club by Chuck Palaniuk ★★★
5. Cloud 9 by Alex Campbell ★★★ (review)
6. Lily and the Christmas Wish by Keris Stainton ★★★★★ (review to come)
7. Anything That isn't This by Chris Priestly ★★★ (review)
8. I nærheden (Nearby) by Peter Hugge ★★★★★
9. The Christmas Box (The Christmas Box, #1) by Richard Paul Evans ★★★

November! Quite a hectic month to be honest. I decided to take a break from studying so I'm currently looking for a job! I might apply for the same course in a year or two or I might choose something different. I just want to do something else!
Since I got a bunch of freetime I decided to start participating in our local book club for young adults and I also started singing in our church choir again! I didn't manage to read as much as I wanted, but since I've read almost 600 pages in Dublin (or Princes of Ireland) I'm quite happy with what I managed to get through!


Novellas and short stories read

September

1. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad ★★★
2. The Dead by James Joyce ★★★★
3. The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe ★★★

October

1. Sildig Opvaagnen by St. St. Blicher ★★★
2. Odour of Chrysanthemums by D.H. Lawrence ★★★
3. The Crocodile by Fyodor Dostoyevsky ★★★★
4. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka ★★★
5. The Other Boat by E.M. Forster ★★★★
6. The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber by Ernest Hemingway ★★★★
7. A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner ★★★

November

1. The Midnight Hour by Andrea L. Wells ★★★★★ (review)
2. Tales from Christmas Wood by Suzy Senior ★★★★(children's book)

Since I dropped out of university I probably won't read that many novellas or short stories as I did in September and October - since I don't really read short stories or novellas on my own. 

I'm finally up to speed with my monthly wrap ups and I have some different things planned for December! It's my favorite time of year so look forward to some exciting times!
