hi everyone!! what's on your tbr list for december?!?✨ i hope you enjoyed the video & don’t forget to like + subscribe because it really helps me out ♡ i hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! love u always ☁💕

@chandlerpaigeyt Жыл бұрын

my tbr for december is a court of wings and ruin by sarah j maas (3rd book in acotar series), looking for alaska by john green, finale by stephanie garber(last caraval book), regretting you by coho, icebreaker by hannah grace, archers voice by mia sheridan, and i want to reread the book thief by markus zusak!

@merrycandy6203 Жыл бұрын

I am gonna read the Hawthorne legacy, A court of mist and fury, twisted hate.

@orianeduquesne9038 Жыл бұрын

already into my December TBR so here is it + what I thought of the ones I read so far ^^ (oh and btw I'm French so I apologize in advance for my English haha) - The Secret History by Donna Tartt (OMG, FIVE/SIX STARS READ!! It is now on the podium of my fav books ever, I felt so bright and mysterious reading this and mostly, the characters and their whole lifestyle is just SO fascinating. I'm bad at describing my affection for novels, but this one was as fascinating as disturbing sometimes because the (marvelous) casting of characters had morally grey actions, but you still loved them so much anyway. I need a new heart now for this book stole mine away. Please, read this book, there's a reason why it's considered a modern classic for it is a masterpiece!!) - Daisy Jones & The Six by TJR (finally read this and I wish I'd done it sooner for it is sooooo good. As an enormous rock'n roll fan who dresses as one, tries to play the piano and the guitar as one and who watched every movie about rockstars she could, I do recommand. Although, it was unfortunately a 4.5 stars read for the character of Daisy was just too perfect for me, neither in her actions nor in her life, but whatever she would do she would just be better than anyone else, and that irritated me. Otherwise, it was brilliant, easy to read and with very powerful quotes and thoughts that are already living in my mind!) Then, I have left to read: - Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman - You'd be home now by Kathleen Glasgow - A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara And I'm new to your channel but already love it! Go girl, you're beautiful and have very great taste in books so goooo

Omg I love the red queen series, and in case you’re wondering if the red queen has romance in it , yes it does. It has a romance subplot and the love interest is one of my favorite characters.. And so does the shadow and bone series which again, is another one of my favorite series. Trust me , both of these series just gets better and better and I love them both

As a reader who DNF’d and ONE STARRED ACOTAR five whole years ago, I finally picked up ACOTAR again last week and if you’re looking for motivation to read it, let me just say I’m halfway through ACOMAF with 4 and 5 in paperback making their way to me now (three I had.) Just dive in. You’re happy once you’re there.
