Novellas in November: A Possible Pause in Proceedings…
Well, as is often the case, life has decided to get in the way of my best laid plans. Despite having just one week to go of Novellas in November – which has been going brilliantly! – I have managed to catch the dreaded Covid again…
I’m definitely not as sick as when I had it last Christmas, but my sore head and extreme exhaustion means I probably won’t be able to review the three contemporary novellas I had read for this final week.
I’ll still be able to keep up with all your posts, but if you notice things going quiet here at 746 Books for the rest of the week, you’ll know why.
Hopefully I’ll bounce back in a few days and be able to round up what’s already been a great month, so thanks to all who have taken part so far!

Aww, poor you – that’s rotten luck! I think I have daily posts planned until the end of the month (not all Novellas-related, but mostly), so I’ll try to hold the fort.

There should be a LAW that no one is allowed to get COVID a second time until EVERYONE has gotten it the first time. Hope you’re feeling better today!
