Late December Update!



Happy Holidays everyone! This month I am skipping my December TBR in favor for a late month update. For the past twenty days, I have read four books and finished two. One of which happened to be a graphic novel. I started the month off by finally finishing Stardust by Neil Gaiman, which I thought was wonderful. I gave this book a four out of five stars on Goodreads. Then I started Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz, which was awesome and I absolutely loved it! I would definitely reread this novel. (five out of five stars) Then I read a graphic novel called Saga Vol.1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series! It was also very strange in plot but in a good. The graphics were awesome and I gave this a five out of five stars. I also finished a novel for my English class called The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman, which was good. I gave this a four out of five stars. Then I read The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories by Marina Keegan. I really liked Keegan's works. Her nonfiction essays were my favorite, but her fictional stories were also wonderful. This started as reading excerpts for my English class, which turned into a personal read. Lastly, I read The Witches of the Glass Castle by Gabriela Lepore, which is about a pair of siblings who learn they have magic and they have to learn how to control their powers! They also happen to move into a glass castle, which is fricking awesome! I read this for a goodreads book club called Read With Ben, which was started by a booktuber called Benjaminoftomes, who is awesome and you should check out his videos! I'll leave his link below. This was a fast paced novel, which I really liked. I gave this a five out of five stars on goodreads. 

For other news, I am participating in two read-a-thons, the XmasBooktubeAThon and the CramAThon! The XmasBooktubeAThon is a read-a-thon, which runs from Friday the 19th to Sunday the 21st! If you are paying attention, it already started and ends tomorrow at midnight. This was started by Ariel Bissett. The CramAThon is a read-a-thon running from Sunday the 21st to Wednesday the 24th, which means it starts tomorrow. This was created by Whittynovels. I might be doing the challenges and I do not have a set TBR for either, but I will finish Hemlock Grove by Brian McGreevy. I will leave links below to the announcements videos for both the read-a-thons as well as the creator's channels. 

Have an Awesome Holiday!

Anyone? by Angela Scott

I finished this book in about three hours... I also tweeted her to see if there would be a sequel...which I want really bad... " The end of the world? That’s the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters and deep philosophical exercises in school. No need to sweat it. So when sixteen-year-old Tess’s doomsday-dad builds a bomb shelter in their suburban backyard, everyone thinks he’s gone crazy…. …Until fire rains down from the sky, sinking whole cities into colossal craters and setting much of the world ablaze. Tess’s dad gives her a few short minutes to gather her emergency bag and her freaked-out kitten, then leads her outside and into the underground shelter. Terrified, the last thing she expects is for him to leave her there all alone, but he has no choice—he must find her missing brother. Before leaving, he makes Tess promise to keep the hatch door shut, not to open it for anyone but him, and to stay put until he returns. But he forgot to tell her one thing: What is she ...

DAY ONE! Reading Cram 2.0: Chills and Thrills Readathon! TBR Challenge!

This is a rough idea of the books I'll be reading or trying to read. Three of the six books were recommended to me by MonsterMen13 on YouTube...well not exactly to me but in general.  Also just because I wrote down six books does not mean I'll get to them or that I will read six books.  **The themes are based off of the summary and friends** Stardust by Neil Gaiman ; started Spooky Theme: Witches... I started this during the Octobathon and did not finish. Horns by Joe Hill Spooky Theme: Thriller, Mystery... I heard about this book from padfootandprangs07 a while back. Then my friend recommended it to me. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children  By Ransom R...
