Yeah, I totally bought more than I could read in November, but I am pleased that I'm using the library more, and also that most of that unread list is from the HEAs for Trans Kids Winter Wonderland bundle (available until 5 Dec), and is going to be great for reading in December.

(At some point I will write opinions in the comments on the books I read, but this is already a day late so I'm just going to post it, and come back after work or over the weekend.)
