Monthly Recap: December 2015
Monthly Recap!
December
Happy New Year everyone! I am really excited to see where 2016 takes me, in both my blogging life and my personal one.
Last year I got seriously burnt out on all things blog and book related. I have decided to participate in some reading challenges this year, with the hopes they will motivate me to read and just put some oomph back into why I do this. Not only will I be revamping my own blog a bit, but I am also excited to be doing some guest reviewing over at After Hours at Lilybloombooks! We are also brainstorming some fun collaborations together, so stay tuned for that!
I only ended up reading a few books this past December, which definitely upsets me a bit because I had two weeks off of work and don't have much to show for it reading wise.
My favorite read was actually an audiobook- Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge! I adored this book so much! I thought the narrator was great and Nyx and Ignifex were fantastic! That was also my only 5 star read this month.

I hope the collab with Tonya will bring back the fun in blogging for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that you read a Julia Quinn book and enjoyed it.
The Impostor Queen and Appealed were so good. I disliked Sword & Verse though. Hopefully, you'll have better luck with it.
Hope your January is awesome!
Thanks hun! I hope it will too! I need it to be fun! I'm so glad you liked Impostor Queen and Appealed but mega bummer about Sword & Verse!
DeleteHappy New Year!
