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?

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at thatartsyreadergirl . 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. ...

Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres. The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much...

Top Ten Tuesday- Fall TBR

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was made to foster our love of lists and bring the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a list, and we readers will write a response. We also have the option of doing our own thing. This week our topic is fall tbr. I’m a mood reader, and I help out with a game and take part in a game every month. Every time you see a game prompt means that I will try to find a book on my shelves once I find out what the prompts will be. I’m going to reserve two books a month for games. I plan on reading more than what is listed here. This is just a small taste of what I hope to read. September 1- On the Come Up by Angie Thomas (57%) done–I left my Ipad down the shore, luckily my mom and sister found It and they have it. I am enjoying this book. I’m not sure if I will be able to finish this by the end of this month, but I wanted to put it here anyway. 2- Barakah Beats by Maleeha Siddiqui (10% d...
