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- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

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 - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
