I just wanted to wish you all a very happy, safe & prosperous New Year!!!
December Wrap Up
This month kind of ran away with me and in the end I didn’t end up reading as much as what I wanted. However, it’s the end of the year, I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself to read if I wasn’t in the mood and this is what happened. I had one really great read, one disappointing read and one fun, fast read so I feel like overall it was a successful month!
In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead – ⭐️5/5 stars
The Storm of Echoes by Christelle Dabos – ⭐️2/5 stars
These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling – ⭐️3/5 stars

Worst Books of 2021
These are the books that I just didn’t quite enjoy this year! I definitely tried to be more honest with my reviews and give more 1 and 2 stars if I wasn’t all that into a book rather than just giving it a three like I usually would. I definitely didn’t actively hate any of these book they just weren’t my style and taste!
