December Wrap Up


Happy New Year! Back at the beginning of December, I talked about what books I wanted to finish. I finished most, and even started and finished one, not on this list!



Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire

Read from: 12/1-12/30

This was an okay book. It was not the story I was expecting going in. I found the story slow at points. Overall: 4.6/5

The Romanov Sisters: The Lost Lives of the Daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra by Helen Rappaport



Read from: 10/4-12/30

I loved this book! I put it in my top 6 books of the year. I loved the history and how much detail was in this book. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to more about the Romanov Sisters and the rest of the people close to them.  Slow at points, overall, a great look at what happened to the family. Overall: 4.8/5



The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

Read from- 10/12-12/31



One of my favorite books of the year! I want to write a full review of this book, so look for that. I know this book got mixed reviews. I loved this book and the twist the novel had. The was my favorite read I finished this month. Overall: 5/5

Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich

Read from: 10/12-12/21



I loved this book! Full disclosure, I thought this was a carbon copy of the musical based on the few chapters. It goes in a different direction, and we find out more information about Connor. I will do a review of this. Overall: 5/5





War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

I read this for like one reading session. This book is a monster but I'm enjoying it. 

I am 47% done so maybe I can finish it by the two-year mark.

Mary Poppins Returns  by  Kathy McCullough



Read  from: 12/9-12/19



I loved this book! It was a lot like the movie, and all the details are there so if you want to go into the movie blind, save this quick novelization for after you see it. I am going to do a review of this as well. Overall:5/5



That's it! What was your favorite read of the month?

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.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release.

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from  this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series!  2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads.  3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
