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
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.
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. Beyond that, I did not understand who she was until I started this book. I am so far 46 pages in, and I love it so far. It is broken into chapters with subsections based on the main theme of the chapter, The tone and voice is so much fun to read. I have a feeling that I will finish this book quickly as it is fast paced and a rather quick read.
The Enchanted Sonata
Why I wanted this book: I am a huge fan of The Nutcracker Ballet. My sister used to dance in performances of this ballet, so I know of the story. I love retellings! This looks like a fantastic retelling of a story I already know. I plan to read it after I finish the second book I got.
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you've read any of these or what book you got for the Holidays?
