Monthly Update
It's December...like when the hell did that happen! Anyway, November was a super busy month and I have no idea what happened to it! I had my grandparents Golden Wedding Anniversary dinner, met up with some of my school friends up North, and met some of my other friends at the German Market in Birmingham, so all in all its been fun!
Work's been work, but where the big things are this month is in my writing...so there's two releases happened (though one was technically December 1st, but that had a preorder!) As you may know, my book got rejected from Kindle Scout (and I surprised myself by being kind of okay about it), but that's fine because I've gone ahead an published anyway. Amazingly, What Lies Beneath the Mask, already has 2 5 star reviews! The other release is a Sci-Fi anthology I'm part of called The Newcomer, I've been reading it, and the other submissions are so good! I can't believe I was selected to be a part of that! Oh and I also won NaNo! Very nearly didn't, but I passed the 50,000 mark on the 30th!
Costs of the Month
So this is basically the amount I should have spent on books, and the amount I actually did spend. I am ridiculously grateful for the existence of Netgalley and Review Copies it must be said! The prices I use is for the kindle edition of a book unless it isn't available or I read a paperback copy.
Challenge Updates
FYI my Bookish Resolutions update will be seperate this year! Also I've now completed 2year long challenges!
