Books Read in November 2019

I'm linking up with Jana & Steph for the Show Us Your Books Link-up!

The Wedding Party -Jasmine Guillory


I liked this book. It wasn't my favorite book by Jasmine Guillory but it was still enjoyable. I rated this book 2 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: A Graphic Novel: A Modern Retelling of Little Women -Rey Terciero


I love the original Little Women. This book was good but I was left hoping for more from it. I read it in a day. Since it's a graphic novel, it was a really quick read. I rated it 2 stars.

The Gift of Happiness -Holly Martin


I love Holly Martin's Christmas novels. This novel did not disappoint. I loved it so much and I highly recommend it if you like Christmas novels. I rated it 4 stars.

Christmas At Silver Falls -Jenny Hale


Jenny Hale is another author whose Christmas novels I love. This was another great one! Again, if you like Christmas novels, I definitely recommend this novel. I rated it 4 stars. I have a few more Christmas novels I want to read and I'm sure I will be reading some of these in January, since I can't seem to pull myself away from watching Christmas movies.

The Afterlife of Holly Chase -Cynthia Hand


This is a modern re-telling of A Christmas Carol told from a young woman's perspective. I love the original A Christmas Carol novel (so much so that I took a Charles Dickens class in college and loved it) and this book was a fresh take on it and I really enjoyed it. I loved that it was told from a young woman's perspective instead of a grown man or grown woman. I would highly recommend this book. I rated it 4 stars.

Royal Holiday -Jasmine Guillory


I really enjoyed this book. Like, The Wedding Party, it wasn't my favorite Jasmine Guillory novel (that one would be The Wedding Date *book 1 in this series*) but I still enjoyed it a lot. I loved the setting and the characters in this novel a lot. I rated it 3 stars.

Get A Life, Chloe Brown -Talia Hibbert


I had really high hopes for this novel but it just didn't hit the mark for me. I'm still glad that I read it (especially since there is a second novel coming out). There are 3 sisters in this book and the first novel is told from Talia's perspective. The second one is told from another sister's perspective and I'm guessing there will be a third novel told from the third sister's perspective. The second novel is coming out in mid 2020. Even though this book wasn't the best, I did still enjoy parts of it. I rated it 2 stars.

My two favorite books I read this month: The Gift of Happiness by Holly Martin & Christmas At Silver Falls by Jenny Hale.
My least favorite book this month: Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert.

What books did you read this month? What was your favorite book you read in November?

      The Wedding Date is my favorite one (like I said). I hope you love it just as much. I'll be interested to hear what you think about Chloe Brown. Thank you for stopping by my blog and the comment. :)

    The Afterlife of Holly Chase and Get A Life are both on my TBR, sorry to hear that they weren't you favorites. I still need to read the original Little Women! Hoping to read it during Christmas break because for some reason it just gives me holiday/winter vibes (and I want to see the movie). I hadn't heard of The Gift of Happiness but it sounds super cute, definitely adding it!
