Hello November 2022 + Current Reads + Goals for the Month.

Hello November!

Hello Fall!

Hello Scorpio Season!

Hello Sister's Birthday Month!

I am happy you are here November.

I started my month with doing the things I usually do on the first day of the month.

I set up my Bujo pages, did up my journal and even set up my Book Journal for the month.

A very stationery heavy morning and the kind of thing I love.

November Page in my Bujo.

Added some autumnal colours and a little doggo in a sweater!

Too cute.

Of course I did a little bit of reading.

I am still reading my Halloween Read but I also started on a new book in honour of Non-Fiction November.

I adore this little Niffler dude on my bookmark. He's most cute.

The Book of Indian Ghosts by Riksunder Banerjee: I started reading this for Halloween and I am still reading this and loving this deep dive into all kinds of ghosts found in India. Such a good read.

Cultish by Amanda Montell: My first read for Non-Fiction November is a book that is right up my alley. A book about Cults and especially about the language of Cults and how they are formed and exert the kind of total control they have over their members. It's fascinating and I am really excited to keep reading.

GOALS FOR NOVEMBER:

1. Read some good books.

2. Read a classic through the month. (I still need to decide which one).

3. Read a few non-fiction books.

4. Celebrate my sister's birthday month properly and happily all month long.

5. Do something special for my sister mister.

6. Clean and re-organise my bookshelves...I haven't done this for two years and it's longggg overdue.

7. Blog more regularly...I have been slacking on blogging lately, I want to get back on track.

I hope November is good for you and me.

Have a wonderful month ahead Behens!
