This month has been pretty good in terms of reading, I have had some time off school for the holidays so have had a little more time to get through my ever-growing tbr pile along with read quite a few books for review.
So the first book I finished up this month was Frostbite by Richelle Mead, the second book in the Vampire Academy series that I am loving right now. The book picks up shortly after the end of the first novel and follows protagonist Rose Hathaway and her closest friend Lissa as attacks upon the Moroi ensue. A full review on the book can be found here.
I then continued on and read Shadowkiss by Richelle Mead, the third book in the series, and then the fourth book Blood Promise. Both of these books were also really good and I advise checking out the series if you haven't already. Click on the links for my full reviews.
I then went on to read Fatal Abduction by Julia Crane as I got an arc copy from the publishers to read for review. Fractured Abduction is a continuation of the life of Kaitlyn and her special abilities. The book follows Kaitlyn helping in a case about a serial killer. When Kaitlyn realizes that the serial killer is going after girls who look a lot like her, she just can't not help out. The ways that Julia has Kaitlyn using her special talents to help with this case is brilliant.
I read a couple more arc copies after this one, Rivulet by Jamie Mcgee which I adored and strongly advise you pick up as it was just brilliant, Rouges Wave by Jennifer Donnelly, Play of Light by Debora Doxer, Down From The Mountain by Elizabeth Fixmer, Sound of Sirens by Jen Minkman, Night School: Genesis by C J Daugherty, A Firefighters Flame by Dani Heart, and finally Love Hurts which is a collection of short stories edited by Malorie Blackman., Phew, that's a lot of arcs. I really did enjoy most of these books and for individual reviews and ratings check out my goodreads page.
This month I also got around to reading Girl Online by Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella on youtube, and was pleasantly surprised by the book but it wont really be for everyone, just for those of you who are used to reading young adult romance. (full review)
I also got around to reading Losing It by Cora Cormack which although I did enjoy it didn't really do ti for me as it wasn't entirely what I was expecting from the book if I'm honest. I wanted a little more angst and sneaking around.
I also tackled My True Love Gave To Me, a collection of short stories edited by Stephanie Perkins. I think I simply expeted too much from this book, I have problems with compilation books as I find them difficult to connect to due to the length of the stories so there were a few here that I had to skip but the Rainbow Rowell and Stephanie Perkins stories were really good.
Finally I picked up two Colleen Hoover books. I read Slammed and then Hopeless after hearing some pretty good things about Hoover's writing and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I posted a full review on these books which you can find here.
Yeah so all in all I had a pretty good reading month in December, but don't expect this much reading every month as the only reason I managed this many books was because I had two weeks off from school. January is going to be a tricky month as I have mock exams in a weeks time that last for two weeks but as this year I only have 3 exams spread over 2 days I will have a bit of free time so I honestly have no idea how much I'm going to be reading. That added to the fact that I'm slightly obsessed with Grey's Anatomy at the moment I don't know how many books of my 30 book goal I'm going to get to.
There are a few books that I hope to get to this month though:
- Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
- Last Sacrafice by Richelle Mead
- Vendetta by Catherine Doyle
- Walking Disaster by Jamie Mcguire
- Easy by Tamara Webber
There is a very high chance that I will in no way stick to that tbr though as we all know how that didn't work out last month.
