Hey guys! I can’t believe it’s the last day of 2017 tomorrow! I say this every year, but the festive season sneaks up on me quicker than I’d like, and then vanishes in the blink of an eye, only for the whole process to happen again.
Anyway, between having a week off work for a holiday to Copenhagen, and two weeks off for Christmas, December was the month I needed to catch up with – and exceed – my reading goal.
Since I’ve read 15 books, which is around 11 more than I normally read in a month, I’m going to do my wrap-up mini reviews a little differently this time so it’s hopefully not just a really long and boring post for you! I hope you enjoy! 🙂

These roundup images look great! 😍 I don’t keep track of the books I read every month. 😂 I prefer to do individual reviews of the books I loved!

Thanks so much, Jewel! I’ve just tried them in a 2017 round up post too! Haha, I like to keep track and then do mini reviews, then big reviews for the ones I really loved!

Also, I’m hesitant to watch the film adaptation of “Murder on the Orient Express”. I heard so many bad reviews from the book fans. 😭

Oh really?! I thought it was supposed to be good, but that doesn’t mean it’s true to the book I suppose! 😔

Yeah, I prefer faithful adaptations like the 2015 BBC version of “And Then There Were None”! ❤️

I love your graphics! I’m glad you like They Both Die at the End. It’s my favorite of Silvera’s books. And lol, poetry is definitely not my thing!
I read less than usual in December, but that’s okay. Here’s my December roundup. 😊

Thanks a lot, Maraia! Yes, I really enjoyed it – I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did, to be honest! I was expecting kind of like a light read, but it gave me a bit of a book hangover! What else have you read of Silvera’s? I’m guessing History Is All You Left Me. since I keep hearing about that! Haha, poetry isn’t my cuppa tea either! I don’t mind nice rhyming poems, but I’m clearly not cultured enough for “real” poetry, lol! Pfft, I bet “read less than usual” is still like 5 books, right? I’ll see…;)

I’ve read all of them. I liked the first two as well, but in both cases I couldn’t really connect with his characters.
Hahahah, same!

I love this round-up! Never even heard of Before Now but I really enjoyed reading your review of it 🙂 And I totally agree with you on Milk and Honey – don’t quite get the hype.

Aww, thanks so much! It was an ARC so it’s not actually out yet, so that’ll be why you haven’t heard of it, haha! Yeah, I don’t get! I get the points it’s making, it’s just the medium for me – poetry has just never really stuck with me!
