December Wrap Up

I can't believe we are at the end of the year already! I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know I did, and you're all looking forward to the new year. There's a lot of great sounding books coming out in 2019 and I've already posted my most anticipated releases list as well as my top books of this year. 

Today I will be wrapping up the final month of the year and listing all of the books I read in December. Overall I read 4 whole books, finished 2 I started in November and I'm halfway through one more. So overall a pretty good month.

I'm pleased I had a 5 star read this month. The Twisted Tree quickly became a last minute contender for one of my favourite books of the year. 

How many books did you read this month? Which one was you favourite? I'd love to hear about them.

  4. I read an absurd number of books in December. Hard to choose a favorite, but a really did enjoy Roxane Gay's fascinating memoir Hunger.
