November’s reading stack was rich and layered—equal parts political intrigue, historical endeavor, luxurious industry gossip, and delightfully clever mystery. Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed delivered a sharp, unsettling look at the shadows of the Kennedy legacy, while Sunrise on the Reaping swept me up with its rich, luminous storytelling. The Winter Guest was, admittedly, a miss for me, but The Frozen River revived the month with its blend of gripping narrative and inspirational history-telling. I rounded things out with Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, an incisive peek behind the curtain of the luxury world, and The Man Who Died Twice, which remained as witty and effortlessly charming as ever (I adore this series!). Altogether, November unfolded as a month of big themes, bold stories, and deeply rewarding reads.
Without further adieu, here are the rankings for the books I read in November 2025.
