The Month of November and Sweaters | A Wrap-Up

Guys, I am so sorry I uploaded this late!! I've been going insane with my schedule- two jobs, my dog, scholarships and math- are murdering my brain!

This past month it finally started getting colder where I am (weird that October wasn't cold, but okay), and now I'm overly excited for Winter! Or as I call it, the Happy Season!

So here's my wrap-up for the month of November and Sweaters!
 P.S. My wrap-ups are going to be different from now on because I don't have time to set up links for all my friend's blogs and blog posts :( 




~ What did I read this past month? ~

I had a fairly good reading month in November, but I still didn't finish what I had wanted to :(
But here's the loot!

~ How's my YouTube Channel? ~

Aside from forgetting to record videos a few times or unable to update for awhile- my YouTube is going pretty good *nervous laughter*.

But here's the videos I did in November!!


BookTube Watching Book Tag

30 Seconds to Guess That Book! | Guest Video!

Netflix Book Tag

Currently Reading + Daughter of the Pirate King (and others!)


I had a friend do a video with me in the 30 Seconds to Guess That Book video, we got to play an interesting game we made up!



~Book Hauls, TBRs, & Recipes ~

So I'm going to do something I do rarely- give a TBR! Not today- but in a different post soon! It'll be my December TBR!!

I also got quite a lot of books in November, but I don't have time to list them all here... but I'll do a YouTube video about them and give you guys the link!

And then, of course, I baked some goodies for Thanksgiving!! (Btw, how were you guys turkey day??)


Dutch Apple Pie
(If you add crumbled graham cracker crumbs to the crumbled top before baking- it makes it even better!!)

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake

Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


And that was a overall of my November!

I'm so sorry I couldn't give links to my fellow blogger's blogs and posts this month, but I'm finding a hard time doing anything lately :( 
I'll do a separate blog post soon if I can get around to it!


Happy Holidays!!

  1. I only see good reviews for Daughter of the Pirate King. I'm curious about your review!

  2. It was definitely good, but I would suggest not letting the hype get to you. That's why I waited longer to read it, I didn't want to have too high expectations. But it turned out great!

Books with Noel's BLOGVERSARY!!

Bonjour mes amis! [Hello my friends!] It's officially Books with Noel 's Blogversary!!! Quick Note: I'm sorry if any of these seems rushed, I injured my wrist at work and now have to wear a brace on my right side (I'm right-handed). When I first started blogging, it was a rash and implusive decision (and no, I ususally don't have those). I had already been trying to do BookTube for a while, and it was rough- I'll admit it. But more on that later! I started Books with Noel to try to communicate my passion and thoughts on books the only way I know best- through writing. (Don't ask why I'm still on YouTube then, sometimes I don't even know myself.) As soon as I did my first two blog posts on here, I was introduced to some very kind book bloggers and I found the best book community I've ever seen! Everyone is so nice, even when disagreeing about a book! I'm now able to support other bloggers and unknown authors through my blo...

The Month of February and Trying New Things | A Monthly Wrap-Up + A TBR

    Eek, is it bad that I'm relieved Valentine's Day and the ''Love Month'' is over? I just read contemporaries, watched chick flicks, and ate ice cream to celebrate the holiday...it was great! How about you guys? How was your Valentine's Day? How's The YouTube Channel Going?? As some of you know, I also am a small BookTuber who shares my videos only in the monthly wrap-ups. And yes, they are as random as my blog posts 😂.  Though I try to keep their content different, so one book review that will be on my blog may not be on my YouTube channel (unless I feel very strongly about the book or am reviewing it for someone). So here are the videos from February!! ChickFlicks & Contemporaries | MY FEBRUARY TBR TOP TEN ANIME COUPLES | FT. CAMMIE Eliza And Her Monsters | BOOK RANT TRY A CHAPTER ~ Round 1 Since the theme for this month is Trying New Things , I'm planning to start doing anime related videos on my YouTube. Spec...
