Literature: November 2021 Books

It is a new year, it's 2021, we are now out of lockdown, but I am still finding time to read.

As I managed 152 books in 2020, I thought I would up the ante and go for 155 in 2021. Between January and October, I was able to read 132 books and now November has ended I am up to 144 as I managed to read 12 books this month.

So what 12 books have I read?

Recommended Books

After watching Greg Wise strut his stuff on Strictly Come Dancing I decided to read Not That Kind of Love which was a memoir of Greg’s sister Claire and her battle against cancer. After her initial diagnosis, Claire started writing a blog to update her family and friends on her progress and when she was unable to continue writing, Greg took over. I listened to this as an audiobook and as Claire has sadly passed away her parts were read by her friend while Greg read his section, This was a very sad book and you could not help feeling for Greg while he read about his sister and her battle with cancer. It is a book mixed with humour whilst battling a terrible disease with treatments, drugs, and surgery. It is also a book about love and family. A highly recommended read.
