All of the books I read in November, organized by mood. I’ve linked my more in depth reviews wherever possible.
- For the short but sweet story that will hit you in the heart: Fox 8 by George Saunders
- For when you feel like falling in love (and out of love, and maybe back in): Places I Stopped on the Way Home by Meg Fee
- For when you want to decide for yourself whether the movie lives up to the book: Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote
- For a beautiful novel that reads like a collection of short stories, sweeping across centuries and continents: Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
- For a rom-com, plain and simple: Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- For the memoir that will make you cry, both of laughter and of pain: This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps
- For when you’d like to take a ten day health retreat but can’t get out of the office, escape through: Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty
- For those days you wished you lived in NYC, surrounded by your imperfect childhood friends: The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer

Oh, my gosh…I keep forgetting to get a copy of Fox 8! Thank you for the reminder, Morgan! I’m also really looking forward to Nine Perfect Strangers, even though I keep hearing mixed reviews about it. I’m so glad you had a good reading month!
I can’t wait to get to Nine Perfect Strangers and I’m intrigued by Places I Stopped on the Way Home! 🙂 I’m planning on picking up Fox 8 next, so I’m glad to hear it’ll hit me in the feels. <3
