November 2025 Comfy Reading Wrap-Up
November was a very romance-heavy reading month for me, with a mix of emotional contemporaries, escapist royal drama, and one powerful historical novel that completely shifted the tone of my stack. Overall, this month reminded me why I love love stories so much—whether they’re light and summery or deep and heartbreaking. Here’s everything I read in November 2025:
November Comfy Pick of the Month: Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan
Books Read: 7
The Books I Read
Fallen Court – Geneva Lee
This was pure escapism in the best way. Geneva Lee does royal drama so well, and Fallen Court delivered exactly what I wanted: tension, intrigue, and romance wrapped in a glossy, dramatic package. It’s the kind of book that’s easy to devour and perfect when you want something indulgent and fast-paced. This is the 2nd book in the series.
Same Time Next Summer – Annabel Monaghan
This book felt like sitting with your thoughts at golden hour. Annabel Monaghan has such a talent for emotional nostalgia, and this story quietly broke my heart and stitched it back together. It’s tender, thoughtful, and deeply romantic without being over the top.
Saving 6 – Chloe Walsh
Emotionally devastating—in the way Chloe Walsh excels at. Saving 6 was heavy, intense, and not something I could read quickly, but it left a huge impact. These characters live in your head long after you finish, and the emotional realism is unmatched. This book is part of a series.
Summer Romance – Annabel Monaghan
Yes, another Monaghan—and honestly, I could read her forever. Summer Romance was lighter than Same Time Next Summer, but still carried emotional depth. It felt hopeful, warm, and comforting, like the literary equivalent of a beach walk just before sunset.
Great Big Beautiful Life – Emily Henry
Emily Henry just gets it. This book balanced humor, heart, and introspection so well. It made me laugh, pause, and reflect on the bigger picture of love and life. Her characters always feel like real people I’d want to know—and maybe be.
Beautiful Player – Christina Lauren
This one was fun, flirty, and a little spicier than some of the others I read this month. Christina Lauren’s banter is always on point, and this book leaned fully into chemistry and charm. Not overly heavy—just enjoyable and addictive.
The Book of Lost Names – Kristin Harmel
This was the standout non-romance of the month and easily one of the most powerful reads. Set during WWII, this story about identity, courage, and love in impossible circumstances was beautifully written and deeply moving. It added a much-needed layer of gravity to my November reading.
