My Reading Recommendations For November
Hello November,
One of the hottest November months I’ve ever experienced. Normally, this month in Amsterdam is rainy, dark and quite cold. Not wintery yet, but getting there. Ever since the pandemic hit, we’ve been trying to get those 10k steps in every day. And the weather this month has been quite ideal, around 12 degrees Celsius, not too much rain and clear skies.
I’m continuing my monthly effort of adding a tad more curation to the internet. Here are my reading recommendations for November, 2020. Let me know if you enjoy reading my recommendations & feel free to share your own!
