December Wrap-up

Wrap-up

I have to say, I’m not sorry to see the end of 2018.

This year has been so rough that I’m really glad that it’s over. Emotionally and financially, I’m ready and I’m welcoming the new year quite happily. I feel like 2019 will be a much better reading year and I’m making some fun plans I’ll be announcing soon!

But, let’s get on to the wrap-up.

Holiday Haul

Copy of Copy of Top Ten Tuesday

One thing y’all who took our 2018 survey said was that you wanted monthly book hauls. So, here we are! The first one! Since I celebrate Christmas, I’m super excited to be doing this because I got a lot of cool stuff.

All these pictures are my own! A lot of them were on our bookstagram, so there are some repeats. Then I also took pictures specifically for this! If you don’t follow our account, you totally should. We post multiple times a week and I usually try to do a story each day.

Down the TBR Hole

Down the TBR Hole

Down the TBR Hole is a meme created by Lia @ Lost in a Story.

  • Go to your Goodreads to-read shelf.
  • Order on ascending date added.

  • Read the synopses of the books
  • Decide: keep it or should it go?

First Lines Friday

First Lines Friday

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!
