Hello!
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I had a really good reading month, reading a total of 11 books and loving every single one! I also completed my Goodreads reading challenge for the first time in three years, setting a goal of 86 and reading 90 books. I have no idea how I managed this as I found reading challenging earlier in the year. Some books featured in this wrap-up were gifted by publishers, these are clearly marked for transparency.
Happy reading!
Geek Girl: All Wrapped Up by Holly Smale:
I kick started my festive reading with Holly Smale’s All Wrapped Up, it’s one of my favourite Christmas books and one I read every year and it always leaves me feeling festive.
My rating: ★★★★★
Reverie by Ryan La Sala:
I read Reverie earlier in the year and loved it so when I saw the audio book was available as part of the Big Library Read I decided to have a listen. I have to say I loved it even more second time round.
My rating: ★★★★★
The Cousins by Karen M. McManus: (gifted)
The Cousins was one of my favourite books I read in 2020, this was one of my most anticipated reads and it didn’t disappoint. I did not see that ending coming! You can check out my review here. Definitely recommend giving The Cousins a read.
My rating: ★★★★★
Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston:
Everyone needs to read Amari and the Night Brothers! It is phenomenal, absolutely brilliant and I really need the next book asap! I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I finished reading.
My rating: ★★★★★
A Boy Called Christmas, The Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me by Matt Haig:
Matt Haig’s Christmas books have become a staple for me during the festive season and have a special place in my heart. I listened to the audiobooks of the second and third this time and really enjoyed them!
My rating: ★★★★★
The Truth Pixie & The Truth Pixie Goes to School by Matt Haig:
This was the first time I had read these and I don’t know why it took me so long! These are great books that help children deal with anxieties. I wish I had had these growing up.
My rating: ★★★★★
The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor: (gifted)
The Burning Girls is incredible, I could not put it down! I’m not going to say anything else here as my full review will be coming in a few weeks.
My rating: ★★★★★
What did you read in December? I’d love to know!
