I discovered this meme thanks to Marianne @ Let’s read.
“The idea is to spell the month using the first letter of book titles”,
and there’s an accompanying theme.

November:
Nostalgia

So I am going with 5 star books I read a long time ago.
So it means I don’t have a review of it on this blog.

Never Let Me Go
L’Oeuvre au noir
The Virgin in the Ice
East of Eden
My Name is Asher Lev
La Bête humaine
Exercices de style
Rue des boutiques obscures

 📚

Never Let Me Go: still my favorite by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Check my vlog on another book by him.

L’Oeuvre au noir (English: The Abyss): and my favorite by Marguerite Yourcenar. It needs a reread!
I am currently reading another (also excellent) book by Yourcenar with one of my French students.

The Virgin in the Ice, part of the Brother Cadfael series, which I so enjoyed. Medieval historical mystery by Ellis Peters.
I have recently started another series by her.

East of Eden: my favorite by John Steinbeck.
This other book by Steinbeck has had a lot of views on this blog.

My Name is Asher Lev: really enjoyed it a lot.
Devoured all of Chaim Potok, about 30 years ago

La Bête humaine (English: The Beast Within):
one of the many fascinating social potraits by Émile Zola. This one about a railway employee.
One day, I may try to read all his works.

Exercices de style (English: Exercices in Style): a collection of 99 retellings of the same story, each in a different style.
Check my recent review of another fabulous and innovative book by Raymond Queneau.

Rue des boutiques obscures (English: Missing Person).
The teen in me enjoyed this one a lot – so that was a long time ago.
Since, Patrick Modiano has won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and I have read lots of his books.
Here is my most recent review.
