December was my 3rd month of blogging - and the month I was using to prepare for the New Year, i.e. plan ahead!
December Reading Recap
Books Read in December
- Zone One, Colson Whitehead (loved it - discussed in Weekly Reading in Zone One)
- The Magician King, Lev Grossman (didn't think it was all that - discussed in Weekly Reading with The Magician King)
- Imaginary Girls, Nova Ren Suma (really liked it - the book cover drew me in, and the story delivered).
- The Monster's Corner: Stories Through Inhuman Eyes, Christopher Golden (a collection of short stories told from the monster's point of view - interesting, but not too creepy).
- Spirit Bound and Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #5 and #6), Richelle Mead (this series is fantastic - and the last 2 books ended the series perfectly).
- The Scorpio Races, Maggie Stiefvater (gosh, I wish I had read this early enough to include it in my "end of year wrap-up" - because it was so good).
Favorite Book: The Scorpio Races, Maggie StiefvaterLeast Favorite : The Magician King, Lev Grossman
