December Wrapup!

December was a rocky month for reading, I was only able to read five books, but three of them were four star reads!

Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott
★★★★
I received this book in a book subscription box, and it just made the whole reading experience even more magical!

The Last Best Story by Maggie Lehrman
★
This book was just a weird mashup of lots of little book ideas and it did not work out well. One character was acting like a jerk and people didn't even seem to care.

Notes from My Captivity by Kathy Parks
★
This book seemed to just be a big case of Stockholm Syndrome, and that is not something I want to support or read about in a fictional book.

A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
★★★★
I had no clue what this book was about going in, and I just have to say it was an amazing read. The way Mafi writes is just so poetic and I love it!

Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus
★★★★
I was lucky enough to receive an advanced hardback of this book before it was published and be in a blog tour, and I absolutely loved this mystery book, which is not usually a genre I tend to enjoy, but this book was an exception!

Books I've Judged by Their Covers

Charlotte Holmes Series by Brittany Cavallaro This series was on display at my library and I picked up the first book, not only is the cover beautiful but the books are intriguing, have interesting characters and mysteries. .................................................................................................................................................... The Sun is Also a Star and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon These books are gorgeous and as soon as I finished reading them, I immediately wanted copies for myself, if even only to display. I loved both books, they were such interesting takes on contemporary. .................................................................................................................................................... To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo This cover is to die for, the color of the background is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the book, I didn't know, but it was a modern retell...

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black Review

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “This is what you wanted, isn’t it?” he asks. “What you sacrificed everything for. Go on. It’s all yours." Jude and her sisters live in the Court of Faerie, only they're outsiders, known as mortals to the rest of the Court. Jude wants nothing more then to belong, but many of the fey despise humans. As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself. I started reading this book last month and stopped because I just wasn't feeling it, but I'm SO glad I picked it up again! The Cruel Prince's plot is a slow-going at first, but once it does pick up, it's definitely worth the wait. The world is extremely well built along with a fair amount of spying, along with roya...
