During December, I read a combination of library books as well as some books I own. The library books were books I had put on hold as I had seen recommendations on Instagram.
The other novels I read were ones that I had at home. Three of them I chose because they were Christmas-themed and I felt they would put me in the mood for the Holidays.
My total for the month was 7 novels. Even though I was on break for the last week of December, going on a family vacation meant that I did not do too much reading and instead spent the time with my family. Below is the list of books that I read. To read my reviews (if you haven’t already), click on the title and you will be able to visit my post:
- Joanna Goodman The Home for Unwanted Girls – Historical Fiction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars
- Sarah Morgan A Wedding in December – Romance, Women’s Fiction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars
- Sarah Smith Faker – Romance, Women’s Fiction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars
- Melissa de la Cruz Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe – Romance, Women’s Fiction ⭐️⭐️ stars

- Karen Swan The Christmas Secret – Romance, Women’s Fiction ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars
- C. J. Tudor The Taking of Annie Thorne – Thriller, Mystery, Horror ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars
Even though I read a number of enjoyable novels in December, the one that stood out for me was C. J. Tudor’s novel The Taking of Annie Thorne. Not only was the story perfectly paced, but the writing was spot on. I was really impressed.

With all the Christmas festivities and preparations, I don’t know where I found the time to read. I read one book after another. Every couple of days, I was on to a new one. I’m glad you had a fantastic reading month in December.

The reading seems to be more intense at moments like these, doesn’t it Michelle. I am sure that immersing yourself in stories helped you to relax during the hectic time.

I love reading too, I had a book from Karen Swan last year too, which was nice and easy reading. I finished recently Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, a great book. Now I am reading the 5th book of the seven sisters series – the Sunsister from Lucinda Riley . I love her books and I am glued to them. Do you know her?

No. I haven’t heard of her. What type of fiction does she write?

I would put it into womens/historic fiction about love/ loss. There is always something historical in it, she lets you travel to amazing places in different Continents and in the seven sisters series, a bit of mystery as I believe she has not told us all about the family. Sure it will be revealed in the last of the series. My sister got into it too and she said as non English mother tongue, it is easy to read in English. I can only recommend it. She does other books too and I have nearly read all of them, still got one outstanding.

I will have to look her up then as I do enjoy historical fiction.
