December 2021 Wrap Up

Surprisingly my December reads was higher than I expected. I was stressing out about getting presents made, but I wasn't as bad as I thought. I was able to get some good reading after Christmas and pack in a few reads that last week! I had a lot of fun participating in the few readathons that happened and am really looking forward to digging into Winter's Kiss this next couple months. I feel like I'm going to go crazy the next couple weeks and only read. I usually ramble a little bit more before getting to my stats, but we have a lot of wrapping up to do this week, so let's get through December!

πŸ’— I had a pretty good reading month, especially with the Historical Romance Readathon. I read a lot of great historicals that really hit the spot. It's a little hard to pick a favorite of the month, but I think I'd have to go with The Front Runner and Any Rogue Will Do. They both just blew me away and I can't wait to read more from both authors! I also really loved finally get to Walking in a Witchy Wonderland and it just increased my excitement for Always Practice Safe Hex. My most disappointing is probably my 3-star read, One Naughty Christmas Night. I didn't expect too much going in, but it still didn't quite hit all the notes I was needing.

I can't wait to see how the stats look for the whole year. Look for that to be posted on Wednesday! I'm super intrigued to see what my stats end up looking like for the year and how things break down. 2021 was the first year I went really nerd with my reading and I'm so intrigued to look at all the stats! Also keep an eye out for Quarter 1 releases on Friday and my 2021 Favorites next Tuesday. I created some brackets to help me decide per genre and am looking forward to filling them out!

How did your reading go in December?

Bookishly Yours,

Stasi🍎
