Still settling in to our new home in Victoria -- we moved six weeks ago. I read lots of picture books and books by Indigenous authors this month.
Favourite books in November (in alphabetical order):
The Adversary by Michael Crummey
And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott; audiobook read by Jenna Clause and Cherri Maracle
Bea Wolf by Zach Weinersmith and Boulet
Denison Avenue by Christina Wong and Daniel Innes
Do You Remember by Sydney Smith
The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt
Farm & Folk Quilt Alchemy: A High-Country Guide to Natural Dyeing and Making Heirloom Quilts from Scratch by Sara Larson Buscaglia
Genderqueer by Maia Kobabe
Like Smoke, Like Light by Yukimi Ogawa
Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things by Dan Ariely; audiobook read by Simon Jones
My Brilliant Friend: The Graphic Novel; from the novel by Elena Ferrante; adapted by Chiara Lagani and Mara Cerri; translated by Ann Goldstein
The Mysteries by Bill Watterson and John Kascht
Pink Mountain Nights by Jen Ferguson; audiobook read by Julie Lumsden, Aaliya Warbus, Kimberly Woods & Shaun Taylor-Corbett

Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets by Kyo Maclear; audiobook read by the author
Upstream: Selected Essays by Mary Oliver; audiobook read by Hala Alyan, Joy Sullivan & Kate Bear
Did Not Finish: Chain-Gang All-Stars. My emotions have been close the the surface this month and this story about imprisoned queer women fighting each other to the death for the entertainment of others was just too visceral, especially in audiobook format.
