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
Thank you to the following partners for gifting me copies of the books noted. As always, all thoughts and images are my own. Thank you to Random House (Fox 8) and Touchstone Books (This Will Only Hurt A Little).

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
