#BookishThanks November 22-30

#BookishThanks November 22-30
I usually post #SundaySentence/Begin the Week with Words today,
but since it is the last day for #BookishThanks, I figured I'd finish it off instead!

I am participating in a most wonderful bookish Thanksgiving meme, #BookishThanks, put together by Monika at A Lovely Bookshelf on the Wall. A category is given for every day in November, to which you can apply the book of your choice, posting it on your social media. It has been so much fun, I figured I'd post them on my blog weekly! Feel free to leave your choices for any categories in the comments. I've really, really enjoyed this month of #BookishThanks!
