November 2023
How is it already December?! I feel like I spent most of November working. Towards the beginning of the month, I was able to work the Iron Flame release party at my Barnes & Noble and had a lot of fun with it. I took a few days off from both jobs to have 4 days with no work responsibilities which was nice. I celebrated a milestone birthday and hosted a meal for a belated Thanksgiving.
I am doing my best with Instagram. I am posting less often than I would like but still having fun with it. I am ending the month with 6,271 followers (I post this start for myself to track my growth).

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for December?
What a great month especially given how busy you’ve been. I really hope to get to the Holly Jolly series (well, I guess there are only 2) this month. However, December is usually a slower reading month for me because there is so much to do. Hope you are having a wonderful December so far.
Thanks, Barb! I am hoping that I will be okay to just jump in with book 2 with the Holly Jolly books.
Wow that is a nice amount of followers. I am in the 500 range currently.
It has been a lot of work to grow my Instagram account but it has been fun.
Great month there! Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I bet the fourth wing release party was wild lol
I had a great time at the Iron Flame release party and they paid me to be there so it was a win-win situation.
For all the things you are doing you are doing well. You seem to have tons of new Insta followers every month. I don’t do the pretty shots and I am not yet to 100. But the blog subscriptions, facebook and Twitter went that way too, very slowly and increased over the year. I also loved Iron Flame and The Mystery Guest.
I didn’t have a big gain this month. Just like anything else, you have to join groups and interact with others before you see any real growth but I enjoy the platform and have made a lot of friends there.
Nice wrap up wow you’re a busy busy girl! Happy B Day!
I am very busy anymore!
Sixteen books is more than respectable considering how busy you’ve been and what a booklover memory to have worked that release party.
Have a great December, Carole!
I thought so, Sophia Rose. I tackled some longer books this month so I am very happy with how the month played out.
Congrats on the Insta followers! I’ve mostly given up on Instagram. It’s hard to stay motivated to take photos. I’m glad you got a few days off work. Have a great December!
Those are some interesting books on your tbr. Especially Ghost Honolulu.
Have a great December reading month.
This year went fast, right? I have the new Molly the maid book on deck for next week. I am excited to return to that world. Hope it’s a hit for us both.
Great reading list for November. We have quite a few in common.
You had a great month though wow was it busy! I’m blown away with how quickly the past few months have flown by. I’m not ready for it to be December! I hope you’re having a wonderful month.
