I know we’re already in the middle of January, but December was too good of a month for me.
It was Christmas and I got the best presents from family (BOOKS), friends (BOOKS) and myself (BOOKS). And yes, buying yourself Christmas presents is a thing because you can never have enough books.
December was also my best reading month of the year??? And I just barely* reached my unofficial goal of reading 100 books in 2017??? PHEW.
And what kind of fangirl would I be if I didn’t find a ton of new things to obsess about this month.
Bi the way!!! Don’t forget to enter my *INTERNATIONAL* giveaway which ends next week ahhhh!
*I literally read two comics books 30 minutes before 2018 began!
WE TALKIN’ 13 BOOKS THIS MONTH. THIRTEEN. WHO AM I.
I can’t believe April was topped (I read 12 books that month) which officially makes December my best reading month of 2017. I’M IMPRESSED.
Last month I had a pretty terrible reading month because I only read books for uni and everything else wasn’t quite up to par so I’m even MORE ECSTATIC TO SAY THAT THE BOOKS I READ THIS MONTH WERE GOOD IN TERMS OF BOTH QUANTITY AND QUALITY.
- Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds: You can read this book in an hour because it’s written in verses and pretty short. It’s VERY UNIQUE, but ultimately I’m feeling neutral about this one! ★★★☆☆
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (#2) by J.K. Rowling: I liked this one a lot better the second time around and I’m even more excited now to continue my reread/reading for the first time (it’s a long story) ★★★★☆
- Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett: I READ THIS WHOLE BOOK IN A DAY AND I ENDED UP LOVING IT SO MUCH???? WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT AND HYPING IT UP, THE ROMANCE WAS SO MATURE AND SWEET and I love it so much. It easily landed a spot on my favourites shelf!!! ★★★★★
- An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson: If you saw my 2017 Wrap Up, you’ll know that this was my most disappointing read of the year. WHAT A WASTE OF A BEAUTIFUL COVER ★★★☆☆
- Heartstopper webcomic by Alice Oseman: Technically, I didn’t START reading this in December, but it’s when I added it to my Goodreads so I guess it counts?? I’ve been reading it for a couple months now AND I’M SO IN LOVEEEEEE ★★★★★
- Autoboyography by Christina Lauren: ANOTHER ADDITION TO MY FAVOURITES SHELF AND ANOTHER BOOK THAT I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. EVER. IT’S SO BRILLIANT I CAN’T EVEN ★★★★★
- When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon: One of my most anticipated releases of the year which didn’t quite live up to my expectations, BUT it was so much better than everyone made it out to be! IT ALSO HAS BOLLYWOOD DANCES!!!!! ★★★★☆
- Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi: Also known as the ONLY Shatter Me novella that matters!!!!! (unless we’re getting one about Kenji in the future?? Mrs. Mafi??? any comments????) ★★★★★
Inbetween these books, I read 3 books for uni and they were 3 stars or less and very uninteresting so I’m not mentioning them here!
Then I also decided was pressured into reading two more books (comics) literally half an hour before the clock struck midnight and the new year began so I could reach my “goal” of reading 100 books in 2017. And I did it!!!
Although I literally skimmed through the second comic in 5 minutes because IT WAS TEN TO 12 AND I COULDN’T MISS THE FIREWORKS.
FAVOURITE BOOK OF THE MONTH
I usually don’t do this section, but I needed to highlight my favourite book of the month WHICH HAS ALSO BECOME MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF THE YEAR.
Autoboyography features a m/m romance. Tanner AKA MY #BICON is openly bisexual, but when his family moves to a town with mostly Mormon citizens, he keeps his sexuality a secret. Then he meets SEBASTIAN WHO IS MY PRECIOUS BABY THAT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS who is the Bishop’s son (see how this could be a problem??) and they fall in love.
THAT’S THE VERY GIST OF THE BOOK BUT HOLY MOLY. IT’S SO GOOD. It focuses heavily on the LDS religion and there are a lot of incredible discussions about sexuality in general and also related to religion!
I’m still heartbroken and frustrated and sad and HAPPY and sobbing (I literally cried at like every second chapter) AND PLEASE JUST READ IT BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
There is not much to say here.
Ever since NaNo ended, I haven’t opened my WIP document because it stresses me out. I realised that I still need to figure out quite a bit of worldbuilding and characters, and intertwine that with the plot, and I just don’t have the time or energy for that right now.
I do have another plot bunny that I kind of want to work on instead of my NaNo project!!!!!!!!
I only really know the names of my two MCs, but it will be a CONTEMPORARY WITH A F/F ROMANCE and that excites me so much!!!!! And I just want to start writing it!!!!!
I want to make it all cute and fluffy and romantic and I just !!!!! I HAVE THIS VISION.
I’ll probably update you guys on this one once I start writing it! I also have AnOThER plot bunny, but I need to play around with it a little more.
- I went on an unannounced hiatus. I did have this hiatus planned because I wanted (and desperately needed) time to relax during my winter break, but then my slump got kinda bad so I forgot to announce it oops!
- Because of the hiatus, I unfortunately don’t have any favourite posts of the month from me or other bloggers to share with you sowwwwy 😦
- BUT!!!!!
- People are still finding my blog through search engines and “unknown search terms” which is so COOL
- and omg wanna know what some of the “known” search terms were???? I HAVEN’T STOPPED LAUGHING SINCE I SAW THESE:
- fanfic warnette warner pov??? restore me spoilers?????? VERY ME. VERY RELATABLE.
- I did a Secret Santa exchange with fellow bloggers!!! You might know some of these
trashylovely bloggers—Ms. Mayonnaise, Ilsa the Spork Queen and Juls who is the BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM. And that’s a #fact. - At first, we did a random drawing of names, but then we realised how expesnive shipping costs between America and Europe would be lmao so we decided to ditch the secrecy and I ended up being paired with Ilsa!!! ❤
- DO YOU SEE THIS BEAUTY?????? LOOK AT THESE INCREDIBLE GIFTS SHE GOT ME. THREE BOOKS???** A FANTASTIC BEASTS TOTE BAG??? CADBURY CHOCOLATE??? WASHI TAPE??? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS 😭😭
- she got me literally everything I put on my wishlist and I’m SO HAPPY. Thank you again Ilsa for being such an amazing friend and gifting me these beautiful things ❤
**how pretty is the Wild Beauty cover PLSSS
- #WinterWonderWichteln: I was also part of a Secret Santa exchange between GERMAN bloggers (thanks Swetlana for letting me know about this) and I received THE MOST AMAZING THINGS, I LITERALLY SQUEALED WHEN OPENING MY PACKAGE
- CAN WE PLEASE APPRECIATE THAT COLOUR COORDINATION??? Great job (and thanks again) Yvonne @ Buchbahnhof! The Star-Touched Queen is a book that I’ve been wanting for SO LONG and I ALSO REALLY WANTED ONE OF THOSE ORIGINAL *DOTTED* BULLET JOURNALS AND NOW I HAVE IT. And that candle smells like heaven. And I just LOVE IT ALL.
- Christmas celebrations!!! Oh gosh, this Christmas was one of the BUSIEST of my life, but it was so worth it! I got a Kindle, an Amazon Fire TV Stick and two books (which you’ll see in the fangirling section) which were all things I have wanted FOR AGES.
- We also went to dinner and we played 3D minigolf with my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. which was a lot of fun! I love family time ❤
- I received my Heartstopper mini-comic zine! I have been reading the webcomic for quite some time now and I am in love with these characters so I just HAD TO GET THE MINIC COMIC ZINE. It’s the prettiest thing ever and it’s *SIGNED* BY MS. ALICE WHOM I LOVE VERY MUCH <3333
- I received two ARCs!!! Everyone knows by now that Penguin is amazing and they were kind enough to send me a review copy of Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu (which is out already!!!)
- I also won a giveaway and got a SIGNED + PERSONALISED ARC of The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan along with some incredible goodies!!! IT’S ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASES!!!!! Thank you so much to the author ❤
- The Greatest Showman soundtrack: I can’t even BEGIN TO TELL YOU how much I love this soundtrack, it is the only album I’ve been listening to in December. I highly recommend checking it out!!!!
- my favourite songs are Rewrite The Stars (A DUET BETWEEN ZENDAYA MY QUEEN AND ZAC EFRON I MEAN???), Come Alive (a feel-good song!), This Is Me (this is my ANTHEM it makes me cry all the time) and From Now On (which is FUN and EMOTIONAL and SO AMAZING, check it out below PLS)
- I started watching Outlander and I love it. I always told myself I’d never watch it because I wasn’t interested, but I fell in love with Sam Heughan through his interview and I just… HAVE to watch it for him!
- my Tahereh Mafi collection is complete!!! AHHHHH I got Furthermore and Whichwood for Christmas so now I finally have alllll the books by my #1 fav author!!!
- Rosa Diaz is canonically bi!!!!! And that is all that needs to be said about that. I’m shook. The End.
So, I can already tell you guys now that I DID NOT accomplish many of the goals I set myself lol
- read at least 5 books for my own ENJOYMENT (uni reads + ARCs don’t count!) ✔✔✔ I DID IT!!! I actually read 10 books for my own enjoyment ahhh!!!
- reread the rest of the Shatter Me series ✔✖ the group buddy read was extended to January I’M SO GLAD because I’ve only just started Ignite Me
- reach 650 followers??? pls??? ✔
- schedule posts at least a WEEK ahead so life is a little less busy for me ✖✖✖ LOOOOL I WENT ON HIATUS INSTEAD
- try to do more blog hopping + reply to comments sooner ✖✖✖
- keep up with my journals ✖ no time for that!
- write 10k words ✖ no time for that! 2.0
- ACTUALLY get a job ✖ no time for that! 3.0
- ACTUALLY play more piano ✖ no time for that! 4.0
- ACTUALLY stay focused on uni and catch up on my million courses ✖ no time for tha– okay this was also due to me being lazy
- have at least one (1) self-care day every week ✖ UGH i’m…
- that includes going to sleep early (aka midnight at least twice a week) ✖ …the worst
Since I’m writing my exams at the end of the month, I will not have a lot of free time soooo these are going to be pretty basic:
- read 5 books
- reach 700 followers?? possibly???
- go on hiatus (i’ll update you about that this time!)
- start a bullet journal
- watch more documentaries/TED talks etc.
- STUDY!! LIKE!! HELL!!
Oh gosh, I was afraid this post was going to be 3k words long when I started writing my fangirling section, but I managed to keep it under 2k! Who’s proud of me!
I hope everyone has a wonderful start to the year and I hope you will achieve all of the resolutions and goals you’ve set yourself!
And good luck to everyone going back to school/uni/work and everyone who has to suffer through exams! We’re in this together!!!
How many books did you read in December? Did any of them stand out to you or make it onto your ‘favourites’ shelf? What were your favourite Christmas presents that you received (if you celebrate Xmas)? Did you make any important reading/writing/blogging achievments before the year ended? Let’s chat in the comments!
Too Much of a Booknerd

That Secret Santa sounded like a lot of fun. My girlfriends did a “White Elephant” gift exchange and most of the gifts were bath products LOL

You’re really making me want to read more comics and graphic novels. I haven’t read anything by Alice Oseman, but I’ve heard such awesome things.

I never even read graphic novels before I joined the book community but I found that I really enjoy them! I also had to read a lot for one of my uni courses and they‘ve all been amazing! You should totally check out Alice Oseman‘s webcomic ahhh it‘s so good!
Oh the Popsugar challenge sounds like so much fun! I see fellow bloggers participate every year and I wish I was someone who didn‘t abandon reading challenges easily because I‘d love to join! I hope it‘ll be a blast for you!
Books are always the best part of every gift haha and I love overalls!!! They’re super comfy 😍

I read a total of 5 books in December, which I’m kind of surprised about because it seems rather low compared to the previous months, but it was a good reading month overall, so I don’t mind too much! And my highlight (other than Scarlet which was a re-read so I feel like it doesn’t quite count) was Flame In The Mist! I’ve been meaning to read a Renee Ahdieh book for so long now and now that I have I can officially say that I want to read even more!
My favorite Christmas present was hands down the physical copy of Simon VS for obvious reasons. But also, a little kettle my parents got me because mine broke (it’s JUST bigger than a 1kg package of sugar – it’s so cute). My main present from my parents this year was paying a bill I had for getting my laptop fixed which I was super thankful for because it was a ridiculous amount of money for a TINY thing that needed fixing… xD
I don’t remember if you’ve read Furthermore & Whichwood already, but if you haven’t: WHEN ARE YOU GETTING ON THAT? I just finished Whichwood this month and it was really good and I am now so tempted to go back and give Shatter Me another chance. And yes, I already know what you’re going to say about this. xD
Have you been talking about the Heartstopper author on Twitter? Because I feel like I’ve seen her name on my timeline before and I’m pretty sure it was you but I was always too lazy to check what she had written… but I’m so happy that you got the comic for Christmas, Jackie! It must be so fun to have a physical copy in your hands!

5 books is great! I personally think ANY amount is good as long as you read SOMETHING. With the whole discussions on booktube about competitive reading, I think it’s important to remind yourself of that! Ohhh that’s so great to hear! I own all of Renée’s books but I haven’t read any of them oops! I hope to get to The Wrath and the Dawn this year tho!
Ahhhhh yes, my Tahereh Mafi books were also my favourite Christmas presents! Although I also would have loved a copy of Autoboyography *winks* but it was too late to let my parents know about it 😂 oh yay that’s so great to hear! I feel like as you get older, anything that involves paying for bills and housewares will be a present that you’ll be happy about (at least that’s what I noticed with my cousins haha).
Nooooo I haven’t read Furthermore and Whichwood yet because I wanted to wait until I got the physical copies! And I really wanted to get the hardcovers because I love owning hcs of books with STUNNING covers but they were too expensive for me to get so I waited until Christmas so I could ask my parents XD
OHMYGODOHMYGOSHYPHMGYODHDMGOFHS GIVING SHATTER ME ANOTHER CHANCE?????????????? YES PLEASE. YES. Y E S. I AM 100% ON BOARD WITH THAT DECISION. DO IT. RIGHT NOW. AND SEND ME ALL THE UPDATES.
Yessss!!!! I’m like obsessed with Alice Oseman and always tweet about her 😂 thank you so much! It’s not the full comic yet because it’s still on-going but it’s a mini-series! I’ll definitely purchase the whole comic though once it’s finished! Thanks Swetlana ❤️

Oh, definitely! I’m happy about any book I actually finish any given month!
Hahaha, definitely! And especially because you don’t BUY those things for YOURSELF which is just ridiculous. Like, my kettle had been acting up for a few weeks and instead of just getting a new one I dealt with it’s many moods. xD My sister got a new Kochtopf and a new Pfanne because her’s weren’t looking too good anymore.
Dude, those hardcovers look SO stunning. I ‘read’ both books as an audiobook, so I don’t have a hardcopy yet but I can highly, highly recommend them! I’m sure you’ll love them once you have the time to read them! And I will make sure to send you any and all updates when I get to Shatter Me!

I have been obsessing over The Greatest Showman soundtrack ever since I watched the movie in December. I’ve been wanting to watch the movie again but the soundtrack has been holding me over.
I only read 4 books in December which is kind of annoying because I had high hopes for December. I kind of ended the year in a little bit of a slump and then I got sick so I just never felt like reading.
As for my favorite present it’s The Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone illustrated edition book and the Ravenclaw scarf my husband got me.
