monthly wrap up

Well I’ve been slacking off as a book blogger since I’ve been doing this since August and this is my first time doing a monthly wrap up, but hey now I’m starting!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and for all of you who don’t celebrate it I hope you had a wonderful month!

Books I Reviewed This Month: 8 (Wow, I Don’t Know If This Is Good or Bad)

Well I can’t really say how productive I was reading this month since I only read 8 books. Now to some of you that may mean I’m slow and to others it might be a lot, I guess it depends.

For the most part I loved every book I read which is pretty dang good if you think about it. I’ll leave links to my reviews so you can check them out and hopefully add to your TBR’s!

 

A Monster Calls

“A Monster Calls” by Patrick Ness

5/5

This book was amazing, plain and simple. Everything about it was perfect, it’s definitely a tear-jerker though so be prepared!

The Sleeper and the Spindle

“The Sleeper & The Spindle” by Neil Gaiman

2.5/5

Slightly disappointing since it was so short and not exactly what I was expecting. I figured this would be a lesbian retelling but it wasn’t at all, plus the story took a turn I didn’t enjoy either. Still great to read if you love Gaiman and the illustrations are gorgeous.

The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1)

“The Knife of Never Letting Go” (Chaos Walking #1) by Patrick Ness

5/5

My second Ness book ever and just as good as “A Monster Calls” if not better. This book is seriously….just perfect and I can’t gush about it enough. You’ll have to read my review to truely understand all of my feels. I want to take this book and shove it into your hands and make you read it!

Coraline

“Coraline” by Neil Gaiman

4/5

I think it’s safe to say that Gaiman never truly lets me down, this is one magical and entertaining book. It’s a great book to start with if you’re just getting into Gaiman’s works.

Worlds of Ink and Shadow

“Worlds of Ink and Shadow” by Lena Coakley

4/5

It’s all about the Brontes, reading, and imagination. It’s definitely a very creative and fun book and one that we can all relate to as readers and book lovers I think.

The Grownup

“The Grownup” by Gillian Flynn

4/5

Gillian Flynn never disappoints me and this was no exception. If you’re a fan of hers, like me, I recommend reading this short story. It’s as twisted and gritty as any of her other works.

These Shallow Graves

“These Shallow Graves” by Jennifer Donnelly

2/5

Not my favorite book, pretty disappointing for me. It drug on way too much and was more romance focused than I would have liked. This is pretty much a case of “It’s me not you”.

Alice

“Alice” (Alice #1) by Christina Henry

5/5

One of my new all time favorite books, I love Alice in Wonderland and I love retellings. This one is about as dark as you can get though, still worth checking out if you’re a fan. Such a great book though, I could sing and dance all day about my love for this book!

      They were by far the best books I read all month AND probably some of the best books I’ve read ever. They were so good!

      It really is a great book I can’t imagine anyone not liking it, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 🙂
