Hello from Rome, and Happy New Year! December started off strong in the reading department, but it fell down in the second half of the month. Obviously that’s going to happen while travelling. Honestly, it’s 19 days until we return to Australia and as much as we still have some great places to visit, I am looking forward to being home again.
PAST MONTHS’ READING HIGHLIGHTS:
- Planting Pearls by Virginia King (suspense/paranormal – 5 stars – review)
- A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Bakin g by T. Kingfisher (MG fantasy – 4 stars – review)
- The War of the Fae: the Changelings (YA fantasy – 1 star – review)
- The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne by Jonathan Stroud (YA fantasy/dystopia – 3 stars – review)
Once again, I’m skipping the usual Booktube and Bookstagram sections on this post. From February, I’m hoping to be more active in both those spaces again and then I’ll re-incorporate them into the blog.
CURRENTLY READING:
Physical book: Nothing at the moment. I will admit that I am looking forward to being home with my bookcases.
Ebook: Cupcakes, Trinkets and Other Deadly Magic by Meghan Ciana Doidge. This was a Kindle freebie and it’s… fine. It’s a light-hearted paranormal mystery but it’s nothing mind-blowing.
Audio book: Nothing on the go at the moment. Maybe I should download something for the plane home…
PLANNING TO READ NEXT:
Genuinely no idea! It’s harder to determine that when you’re confined to ebooks and can’t cast your eyes over the bookshelves to see what you fancy. I am sure I’ll find something, though.
Well, this post has been short and sweet! I’ll finish it up here.
What are you reading? 🙂
