To Be Read: November 2021

Once again I am presenting a very short and lazy to be read. It’s frustrating to do so, but the end of the year is insanely busy for me thanks to working in retail (boo). I’m obviously going to read more than one book so of course my wrap-up for the month will be way longer, but those festive arcs are still crushing me.

This is self-inflicted so I really can’t complain, but I would really like to read some other books too. Currently, I’m reading the Sabrina prequel spin-off so I’m hoping once I’ve finished that I can tackle another physical book. Well here’s to hoping anyway.

This has been on my to be read for the longest time. I have no idea why I still haven’t read it. Retellings are my favourite type of book and I have this entire series just sitting on my shelf looking all pretty and readable.

I am being a little lazy with the inclusion of this book as I have talked about it on a to be read previously, but do you know what this post is going to make me read this. I’ve been trying really hard for a while now to actually get through at least one physical book each month and this is my pick for November.

This is a promise that I WILL read this book in November. As soon as I’m done with my current physical read I will pick this up.

Goodreads synopsis: “Fall in love, break the curse.

Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen, the heir of Emberfall, thought he could be saved easily if a girl fell for him. But that was before he turned into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. Before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, DC, she’s pulled into a magical world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

Harper doesn’t know where she is or what to believe. A prince? A curse? A monster? As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what’s at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.”
