Books Read in November

I only read 5 books in November, but they were all very good!

• Tales of Mystery by Edgar Allen Poe (France), classic collection of his best stories
• When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (CA), memoir
• Vivian Apple At the End of the World by Katie Coyle (PA), teen/YA audio book

• The News At the End of the World by Emily Jeanne Miller (MA), fiction (read for review)
• The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (France), adult fiction

Just five books read last month but a nice mix - mostly fiction with one nonfiction/memoir. I read one YA novel and listened to one audio book. I managed to fit in a classic and short stories (all in one!). And yes, I am aware that two of the books I read (I actually read/listened to them at the same time) both had "end of the world" in the title - kind of scary!

Progress on 2016 Reading Challenges:
This is my favorite part of my monthly summary - updating my Reading Challenges! I read 2 more TBR books in November for my Read Your Own Damn Books Challenge - that's a total of 21 so far this year (and many more to go). For the Monthly Motif Reading Challenge, November was nonfiction month - and I read a memoir! That also counts for my 2016 Nonfiction Reading Challenge which brings my nonfiction total for the year so far up to 10. I added 1 classic to the 2016 Classics Challenge  - still just 4 classics so far this year! For my Travel the World in Books Reading Challenge, I added 2 books both set in France. I am also tracking the states my books are set in, even though there is no Where Are You Reading challenge this year, and I added California   last month.

Finally, I filled 15 spaces on my monthly Bookish Bingo hosted by Chapter Break - not my best month but not bad (you can join the fun any month without officially joining a challenge). Here's my Bingo card for November:
