What We Read in November

Still valiantly plodding forward.

Katie:

• The Seer and the Sword by Victoria Hanley
• The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff
• Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

I'm currently reading three different books (though I'm focusing mostly on one, which is what usually happens when I try to read multiple books at once). I'm mainly reading Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis, but I'm also reading This is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin, and listening to the audiobook of Ron Chernow's biography of George Washington, entitled Washington: A Life.

Sarah:

• The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry

Currently, I am reading The Tao of Pooh, which Katie mentioned above, as well as The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis.

And in NaNoWriMo news... 
As we said in the last post, Sarah ended up deciding to not even attempt NaNo. She felt it would be too discouraging, as she knew her schedule wouldn't allow her to get very far. The same was true for me (Katie), but I decided to see how far I could get anyway. Knowing that you have no chance of winning proved quite discouraging, however. I made it to 2,628 words when in all honesty I probably could have gotten a lot further. Still, it's a start. Both Sarah and I love writing and love NaNoWriMo, so both of these things will continue to be a big part of our lives, as well as topics for future blog posts.

We'll see you on Sunday for our first post of December, 2016!
