I spent November reading books I already owned. Thanks to No Buy November I knocked 26 books off my list! And I didn't buy any new books. FYI - the no buying was hard but so worth it.

I reached my Challenge of the Year at the end of the month too! 250 books so far the year and still December to go. Now I'm reading my holiday books which is getting me in the spirit.

❓When do you start reading your Christmas/holiday books?
🙋🏼‍♀️I wait until after Thanksgiving. Unless its an ARC I need to get done earlier.

Over twenty years after the Paris car crash that ended Diana's life at age thirty-six, the story of her remarkable life and tragic death still have the power to mesmerize. Following her storybook wedding to Prince Charles, she had evolved from "Shy Di" into the planet's most photographed, written-about, and talked-about woman - indeed, the most famous person in the world.

For all Diana's global fame, much of the human drama that swirled around her death remained veiled in mystery and intrigue. Here, in the manner of his other 17 New York Times bestsellers, Christopher Andersen draws upon important sources - many of whom are agreeing to speak for the first time - to re-create in vivid and often startling detail the events leading up to that fateful night in Paris.

Where were you the day Diana died? This tragic death left people reeling. It was an event that touched millions around the world.

This book give a lot of behind the scenes info that we didn't get to see or know. Private conversations Diana shared with her closest friends about her relationships. What happened when the news was shared with the Queen? What was Prince Charles reaction to her death? Anderson covers all these questions and more. The writing makes the reader feel like they are a fly on the wall and watching a scene unfold.

Now I didn't look at Anderson's sources or see how he backed up his writing. But it was an interesting a book. And gave me (#aroyalwatcher) a new way to look at a horrible day.

❓Do you enjoy reading nonfiction? What genres?
🙋🏼‍♀️I love just about all history nonfiction. But I don't read much of it now because I read so much of it during graduate school. I still love biographies though. And any and all books that are about royalty.

Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.

But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window…

I've seen this book all over Instagram. And the blurb sounds intriguing. So I couldn't wait to read it.

Unfortunately I though the book moved really slow. I love seeing the relationships develop. Romantic and friendships. But boy, it was slow going to get anywhere.

❓Do you prefer tea or coffee?
🙋🏼‍♀️I prefer coffee but it has to have a lot of cream and raw sugar
