November was all about clearing off my Netgalley shelf. I managed to read 12 Netgalley books, booking my stats from 85% to 90% which I’m really pleased about. I’ve been accepted for a few more books and some are for blog tours in December and January so I still have 19 books to go, but having see how many some of my fellow readers have e I figure I don’t actually have too much to panic about!

Well I managed to read 7 out of 9 of the books I chose for bingo card. I’ve started The Summer Job so will hopefully finish all 9 by the end of the year. This has been such a fun challenge and it’s been great to see what other Netgalleyers have been reading. We are planning to keep our chat group growing which is awesome.

Next up is finishing the Popsugar challenge! And the 2022 challenge is revealed tomorrow so stay tuned…
