November 2020 Wrap-Up
While I failed miserably at NaNoWriMo this year (don't do NaNo while your already stressful job is transitioning to a brand-new software system without a plan and during a nail-biting election), I still wrote a good chunk of this draft and I read a lot of books!

Book Review: Burning Roses
Burning Roses by SL Huang 🌺🌺🌺🌺/5 Two queer old women venture off onto one last journey—interwoven with fairy tales. It was enjoyable! And so queer! And much family angst.
