Christmas book haul

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. 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
42279745

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?

Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion, and discuss how that relates to me as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand, am an introverted creative bookworm. 2- Miriam Kendrick from C
