Hello everyone!!
December is here and I couldn't be happier as it is my favourite month, because you know... Christmas time! Anyway, this means that is time for my monthly reading wrap up. In November I read 14 books (13 physical books and 1 ebook) which indicate a good reading month.
Quidditch Through The Ages : A magical companion to the Harry Potter stories - J.K. Rowling & Emily Gravett (Illustrator)
You don't need a description for this book as it is well-known. It contained great information about the magical game of Quidditch and the illustrations were just stunning.
Rating: 4 Stars
Η Γεωργαφία είναι πολύ κουλ! Ακτίβιτι μπουκ για μεγάλους. (Geography is pretty cool! Activity book for adults)
Well this is a Greek book all about geography. It has many activities where you can check your knowledge on basic geography facts about the world and through this to learn even more.
If you are Greek, I highly recommend it to you. It also has an edition for younger audiences.

Harry Potter: The Film Vault - Volume 2: Diagon Alley, King's Cross & The Ministry of Magic - Titan Books
This series of books is about the Harry Potter films and this one specifically is about Diagon Alley, King's Cross & The Ministry of Magic. It has information about the making of the films and the photos that accompany the book are great.

Harry Potter: The Film Vault - Volume 3: The Sorcerer's Stone, Horcruxes & The Deathly Hallows - Titan Books
This volume is about the Sorcerer's Stone, Horcruxes & The Deathly Hallows and has all the necessary information of how they created all these for the films.

This one was my favourite of them all because it was about the Hogwarts Castle. I loved every picture and every detail of it that they mentioned.
Rating: 5 Stars
This was a very interesting and pretty original story. I really enjoyed reading it. Marianne's adventures and the twists they took got me turning the pages really fast.

Mrs Rosie and the Priest - Giovanni Boccaccio ( Peter Hainsworth - Translator)
This one is the first book in the Little Black Classics from Penguin and it contains stories by Giovanni Boccaccio who is famous for his Decameron.
The stories were pretty funny and provocative and I really liked reading them.

Vespertine (Vespertine #1) - Margaret Rogerson
I read this together with the girls from #booktalkwithwifey and I really enjoyed it. The story was really different from what I am used for a YA fantasy and I really liked the friendship dynamics.

These were all the books that I read in November. All in all it was a very good month reading-wise as I found some favourite reads and also reduced the pile of my physical TBR.
Have you read any of these?
What did you think?
See you in the next post and don't forget to keep reading!!!
