Paiges of Books

Hey Everyone! Steph here, and today I will post about the new books I got for Christmas. I get books from my aunt every year, so I know what the books are as I give her a list to what I would like. All Images from Goodreads. The books Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You Why I wanted this book: this book is on the list because I love Lin -Manuel Miranda's tweets. Having a book where I could read the tweets all in one place. I love the art in the book and how it captures the messages of the text. I am reading this book every morning, and every night until I finish the book. So far, I am enjoying the pep talks as a way of reflecting at the start and end of every day. All I Know Now: Wonderings and Reflections on Growing Up Gracefully Why I wanted the book: I knew of Carrie Hope Flecther from being one of my favorite Eponine's on one of the recordings of Les Miserables I own.

Hey everyone, Steph here and today I am going to talk about my reading and writing goals for 2019. 1- Be more active in the book blogging community 2018 was a wonderful professional year for me, however, I put my blog on the back burner. In the new year, I would love to review more books and build my platform on this blog and beyond. I would love to receive some arcs of books, and I'm not one to put myself on YouTube, so I thought this was the next best thing. 2- Try a readathon I always say that I'm too busy, and because of that, I miss out on some pretty fun readathons. I want to start with a week-long one, however; I know that those are less common than just a day or two. 3- Read 30 books I always set my Goodreads goal low, I was a student and now that I'm graduated I will have more time to read. I surpassed my goals this year, and so I want to up the goal by ten books. 4- Keep up with Buzzfeed Page Turners Buzzfeed Page Turners is a Facebook Group by Buz

Hey everyone Steph here and today I am going to talk about the books I am currently reading.  It's not a December TBR because I have been reading most of them of months now. My end of the year goal is to finish all of these. Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire This is the only book I have not started yet. It is a retelling of The Nutcracker. I have read Maguire's Wicked series and loved that. I picked this month to read this book because it is perfect for the Holiday season. The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra by Helen Rapaport Now, this is not my usual genre of reading. I love History and Anastasia so this is a combination of both. This is a book about what happened to Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Romanov. It talks about their lives and I love it. I am on page 206 of the story,  but I am reading the notes in the back of the book as I read. I have about 9 chapters of this book left The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and
