There are a good amount of books coming out this month and I’m quite excited for so many! I’ve gotten lucky with ARCs thanks to bookish homies, netgalley and publishers. Here are the books I have ARCs for:

• Salt And Sugar by Rebecca Carvalho
• Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer
• Someday, Maybe by Onyi Nwabineli *adult*
• Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn *sequel*
• Whiteout by Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk & Nicola Yoon

• Mihi Ever After by Tae Keller *MG*
• A Sweet Lowcountry Proposal by Preslaysa Williams *adult series*
• Briarcliff Prep by Brianna Peppins

• We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds

I’m really excited for the books I have ARCs for (not as many as past months but I’m REALLY happy with the ones I have). I haven’t gotten to start any of them because I was playing catch up with October’s ARCs and trying to live life (and napping because work has required A LOT of energy) but I will be hopping to it soon because y’all see whats in that list, lol! My plan is also to go back to ARCs I hadn’t gotten to in the past since I don’t have a lot of ARCs for December!

So are there any books you are looking forward to for November? Did I miss any books by Authors of Color that are coming out? Has the realization that the year is almost over hit you too? Let me know in the comments or on social media on Instagram @bookishgirlmagic, Twitter @bookishgrlmagic and Clubhouse @bookishgrlmagic where you can find me mostly in book centered clubs/rooms (primarily on Tuesdays and Fridays). Also please subscribe to this blog if you haven’t already because it makes me feel like books I’ve been eagerly awaiting are dropping soon! As usual, I’m sending you tons of bookish love & wish you happy reading as well as start of the holiday season!
