Ann Liang, R.F. Kuang and Kristen Ciccarelli are some authors that I discovered this year and I can not wait to read more of their books in 2026.

Ann Liang has other young adult romance books that I am looking forward to reading, such as I Am Not Jessica Chen and I Hope This Doesn’t Find You series.

I have heard a lot about R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War trilogy and I hope to read it next year.

Kristen Ciccarelli’s series Iskari sounds interesting and I also hope to read it next year.

This has been a very busy month and I did not have much down time to read. However, I was able to finish a few books that have been on my tbr! Overall, I am satisfied with this month’s completed read.

Family of Liars by E. Lockhart was a fast read for me and I enjoyed it a lot. I was so glad to be able to get a backstory on the mom’s of the Liars. Their backstory gave a big insight into how their adult life and situations came to be.

Salvacion by Sandra Proudman dragged a bit for me. However, once I started listening to the audiobook, I was able to get through it faster. This book had a lot of cultural references, however, some of those parts felt rushed. Overall, it was a good read.

For the last month of the year, I am trying to finish as many of this year’s tbr as possible.

A McClendon Thanksgiving by Sean D. Young was last month’s book club’s read, and I need to finish for book club.

Set on You by Amy Lea is book from my February’s tbr and it seems to be a lighthearted romance.

Holly by Adalyn Grace is a Belladonna novella, which is one of my favorite series from this year. It is also the only Christmas theme book on this month’s tbr.

I am currently reading Salvacion by Sandra Proudman, and I am hoping to finish it soon.

Although I only read one of my November's tbr, I enjoyed reading the other two books.

I was able to finish We Were Liars by E. Lockhart in the beginning of November and I really enjoyed it. This book was so easy to follow along and kept me interested. The plot twist was a bit predictable, but the full details managed to surprised me.

I was so excited to read Accomplice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer and it did not disappoint. The tension between Evie and The Villain continues to be very intense. The plot twist in the end made me have to rethink everything I’ve read in the past two books, and realize I’ve missed a lot of clues. I can’t wait for the next and final, possibly, book to come out!

Overall, Katabasis by R.F. Kuang was a good book. However, the way my brain could not comprehend some of the more complex ideas in the book was a bit humbling. But after more effort, and a few rereads, I was able to understand most of the book. I definitely could not have been able to get through this book without the audibook.

I, Medusa by Ayana Gray will be released on November 18th. This is a retelling of Medusas’ story. According to the summary, the story begins when Meddy is noticed by Athena and asked to train as a priestess in her temple. I can’t wait to read this retelling of an iconic Greek mythology.
