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

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 I loved this

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I want to reread

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  Jana@thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and brings the book blogging community together. Each week Jana posts a topic, and we book bloggers write a response. This week, it's books I want to reread.  1- Pride & Prejudice   This is a classic I’ve read twice, I think? At least once, anyway, I love this novel so much. My favorite character in the book is Lizzie. I also miss the story. Maybe in 2021? Anyway, I miss this book and I want to reread it. 2- Foolish Hearts   I read this book in the summer of 2019. I had been in a bit of a slump at the time, so this pulled me out of it. I read the novel in about two weeks, and I just loved it so much. My favorite character is Claudia, and I want to revisit the book. That this involves theatre is another reason I need to reread this book ASAP. 3- After Anatevka   I know I talk about this book so much on the blog. I read this a few years ago now, and I want to revisit the charact
