As previously stated, November doesn’t have a ridiculous list from what I could find but I think that gives us a bit of reprieve when it comes to our library holds & bank accounts! I did get a few titles from this list and they are:

• The Teller Of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong *adult* (Currently Reading)
• Heist Royale by Kayvion Lewis *Sequel*

Adulting has really been kicking my tail but I’m going to get back on track with reading, especially since I’m really excited about the titles I received! So weigh in, How are you feeling about this pub month? Are there any titles you’re excited about? Are there any that I missed by authors of color (Indie or Trad pub)? Let me know here in the comments or on social media on Instagram @bookishgirlmagic (I’m posting here & there), Twitter @bookishgrlmagic (Keeping it random but still a good time), Threads @bookishgirlmagic (Posting when the mood hits me) and Clubhouse @bookishgrlmagic where you can find me mostly in book centered clubs/rooms (mostly on Tuesdays and Fridays) to chat with me.
