So it's been over two and a half weeks, but I'm still going to tell you what books I read in the last month of 2015 and what I thought of them. I'm officially back from holidays now, so hopefully you'll be seeing more of me around the blogging world! I've had quite a delay since getting back and posting this, but I hope you're not too angry :P I'm also still super behind on everyone else's blog posts, so expect some comments on old posts! Anyway, here are the books that I read in December!

I have reviews up for Florence and Let It Snow, so if you want to know my thoughts on those, you can check them out. I enjoyed The Titan's Curse and All Fall Down, but to be honest I can't remember much more about them then that since my holiday has made my memory muddled. I love, love, loved Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda - especially Simon himself. It was a book that I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I did, so I'm so glad I gave it a go. Every Last Word had a pretty strong impact on me. I was enjoying it a lot, until I guessed the twist, which was a bit of a bummer. It would have been nice to be surprised. Other than that, and a few boring pages, it was great. Nimona had a grip on my from the first page. I just knew I was going to adore it, and I did. Everything from the characters to the art style was just perfect. (I will admit I was slightly bothered by the ending, but only slightly!)
I don't think seven books was too bad for the last month of the year! January however has been a pretty slow reading month for me, and I have only managed to get through two books so far - These Shallow Graves and Before I Fall. I think I might write reviews of both of those though, so I will talk about them no more! And even if I don't, I will share my thoughts in January's wrap up - which should be posted at the normal time, not halfway during the month!
I hope you've all been doing well, and I should be catching up with the latest blogging news soon :P
Wow! You had a great month reading wise! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed All Fall Down! It was my first Ally Carter book! I'm hoping to grab a copy of the sequel soon. :)
Yeah, it wasn't bad :)
DeleteI'm happy to hear that! It was my first Ally Carter book as well, and I will definitely be picking up the sequel too :)
This is my first time at your blog and I love it, by the way ;) So colourful!
ReplyDeleteOH, I saw the sequel to All Fall Down at the bookstore the other day - I was very close to buying it but I'm making myself wait til January is finished for some unknown reason (my logic doesn't make much sense).
Hope you're having a good start to the new year :D
Thanks very much!
DeleteIt's okay, my logic is the same way :P I hope that you enjoy it when you do eventually get to it though!
You too :)
