December Wrap Up 2017

December ended more than a week ago, and for me it almost feels like it ended months ago because I spent New Years Ever and New Years day and the following week vacationing on the Oregon coast. My husband and I have decided to make it a tradition to ring in the New Year on the there. Of course, for us, ringing in the New Year means my husband has a glass of wine or champagne and I pass out at 10ish. Good times! So, anywho, that's why it's been so quiet around here and, I know, you're sick to death of end of the year wrap up posts but I've got to do this one for my own sanity. It helps me to look back at the month and also to make sure I've got all my reviews linked. As you may remember, I read a few books in December but then rewarded myself for reaching my Goodreads goal by rereading some books. I won't bother adding the rereads to my wrap up so this should be quick. Here you go!

You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero
A "self help" book that was awesome!

The Simplicity of Cider by Amy E. Reichert
A sweet love story with a fun setting.




And there you have it. See? That wasn't so bad, now was it?  My favorite of the two has to go to You Are A Badass but I loved The Simplicity of Cider too so no least favorites. I also reread three books. And now, onward into the new year!

December Reading Wrap-Up 2016

December came and went. And can I just say, good riddance! Sorry, but it was a tough month, a tough year and I'm ready to look forward...if I can get rid of this lingering cold that ruined my Christmas. Anywho, here's what I read in December.

Made You Up by Francesca Zappia, The Replacement but Brenna Yovanoff, Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira and What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan.

Favorite of the month was Love Letters to the Dead. It was so beautiful! Least favorite was What She Knew. It wasn't terrible, I just didn't like any of the characters.

December Wrap Up

And another year is gone. I only managed 4 books in December but I reached my Goodreads goal of 50 book...barely! Phew! Here they are.

Ignite Me (Shatter me 3)
I'm glad I stuck with it. It was a satisfactory ending to the series.

Secrets & Lies
Total disappointment. Unnecessary.

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass 1)
A little late on this bandwagon but I liked it and plan on reading more!

P.S. I Still Love You (To All The Boys I've Loved Before 2)
Fun continuation of Laura Jean's story. I hope there's another book, though!




Favorites of the month were P.S, I Still Love You and Throne of Glass. Least favorite was Secrets and Lies.

December Wrapup

With all the end of year lists this post is probably overkill but it's more for my benefit anyway. ;) So here are the books I read in December and what I thought.

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Yeah, the writing was pretty but it got a little bit on the overkill side.

13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
A fun adventure but I never did get what the point of said adventure was.

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
Dang my high expectations! No, it was good, just not as good as I thought it would be.

The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
My second time through it this year. I LOVE this book.

Existence by Abbi Glines
Mediocre but I liked it anyway.

Hourglass by Myra McEntire
Just overlook the things that didn't make logical sense and, yeah, it was fun.

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Oh, Cricket! *long dreamy sigh* Romantic and fun!

Favorite of the month was definitely Lola and the Boy Next Door followed closely by The Wednesday Wars and that's only because it was my second time through it. Least favorite of the month was, sadly, Shatter Me...and I had such high hopes. :(
