November Wrap Up 2017

We have officially entered the final month of the year, and I’m sat here wondering where time has gone. Seriously, it’s like we’ve bypassed the last few months. So, November. It’s safe to say that November was my least productive month. Why? Well, I didn’t read a SINGLE book in November. Not a single one. It’s official, I have hit a slump. It sucks. It’s not from a lack of not wanting to read, but more of a can’t find the time, too tired, and can’t seem to pick the right book type of slump.

So, what else have I done this month? Well, instead of reading, I’ve taken to binge-watching a selection of TV shows and films. Would you be interested in a post about these shows? This slump has also meant that I’ve almost caught up with all my book reviews.

December Goals

READ A BOOK. I hope I can snap this slump before we reach the end of the year. I did read the prologue to Amy Harmon’s The Bird and the Sword, so hopefully, I can find the motivation to continue the book. The slump has also meant that my blogging activity hasn’t been as consistent as I’d like it to be so, I’m hoping to improve on that front.

December is going to be an incredibly busy month for me. Not only do we have Christmas to look forward to, but there is also the matter of BOTH my brother’s celebrating their birthday’s this month. It’s safe to say that my bank account is taking a hit this month. I’m also on the look-out for a festive jumper, so if you have any recommended shops to find one please let me know. 

November was the worst reading month for me.

    1. I think this month is just so chaotic and there’s so much that needs to be done that even reading seems like a chore. Hopefully, I can snap it by the new year. Marie’s posts always hit the mark!

  3. I’m so sorry about that reading slump, it is so annoying :/ I hope you’ll manage to read a book this month, I’ll keep my fingers crossed ❤
    December is the WORST month for our wallets ahah, I am ruined and it's only 4 days into the month. I did all of the Christmas gifts, but still… it is the WORST month haha.

    1. Meh, I’m just taking it day by day. I might try reading more of The Bird and the Sword and see if that helps, if not, there’s always next year haha.
      My wallet hates me right now. I went on the weekend cause I needed stuff, but I also had to get birthday and Chritsmas gifts for my brothers and I’ve still not finished my Chrismas shopping!!
