Hello book worms! ❄️
Today we are going to talk about all the books I read in the month of December. I decided to challenge myself and up my reading goal with four weeks left in 2018. Not only did I manage to hit my reading goal for the year, but I read an additional four books as well. It was a really good reading month. In total I read 11 books, which might be the most I’ve ever read in a month!
What I Read in December
Once & Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy – ★★★★
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson – ★★★★.5
Verity by Colleen Hoover – ★★★★.5
Dirty Headlines by L. J. Shen – ★
Evermore by Sarah Holland – ★★
Snow Like Ashes by Sarah Raasch – ★★★★
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White – ★★★.5
Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust – ★★★

Review: How She Died, How I Lived
TL;DR
Don’t feel like reading a review?
Here’s my thoughts on each book in one sentence!
- Once & Future – The gayest King Arthur retelling you never knew you needed.
- Skyward – An AI more lovable than Aiden, yeah, I said it.
- Verity – So fucked up, it will make you question your sanity.
- Dirty Headlines – One liners are the only thing worth sticking around for.
- Evermore – The definition of Second Book Syndrome.
- Snow Like Ashes – A love triangle actually worth reading about.
- The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein – A crazy game out cat & mouse, but only at the very end.
- Girls Made of Snow and Glass – A Snow White retelling with a gay twist.
- Always and Forever, Lara Jean – Lara Jean still sucks, Peter sucks a little less.
- Eleanor & Park – Deeper than I ever thought it would be, WHAT DID THE POSTCARD SAY?!
- How She Died, How I Lived – Relatable and thought-provoking AF.
Favorite Read of the Month
We love a good CoHo book.
Least Favorite Read of the Month
I tweeted about how the male MC told the female MC he would give her such a good orgasm that her kneecaps would snap, but I am sad to report no kneecaps were harmed in the making of this book.
That’s all for today!
Until next time,
I love this and your thoughts in one sentence. I am very disappointed by the lack of knee-cap snapping. Will be writing a strongly worded letter.

Thanks girl! 🖤 We are ready to sue over the promised knee-cap snapping orgasm our girl never received and clearly deserved.

Verity was really, shockingly good. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but I wasn’t expecting THIS by any means.

You and me both! I still can’t get over how good it was. My head is still spinning!

Don’t you just hate when a book over-promise and doesn’t deliver? Booooo! She deserved that orgasm!

She absolutely did and I felt betrayed for her! 😂

I loved Eleanor and Park – I am interested in Once & Future but I did not enjoy her other book at all so I’m so reserved on it

I haven’t read the authors other book, and I won’t lie I really struggled with the beginning of Once & Future but in the end it turned out to be a really fun read!

The most unfortunate sentence I have read all day as well as the most amusing 😂😂😂 Looks like you had a great reading month! Here’s to 2019 being more amazing!

HAHAHA it was literally the only reason I kept pushing through that book! I laughed so hard when I read that line so I needed to keep going.
Thank you, it certainly was! Now I have my work cut out for me in 2019 to beat this month!
