December | Mari Kesselring

My December reading results were good for a busy month. I finished 16 books & started 2. I didn‘t quite get to everything I wanted but I read 3 books & a story for #SeasonalCozies & joined in #NancyDrewBR #SundayBuddyRead #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace & read all of my #Roll100 picks as well as completed my #BOTM challenge & #OUABC 40 book challenge.

I‘m midway through my #JolabokaflodSwap book & started the book from my #OUABC Up All Night Box.

This fun #jolabokaflodswap book was a very nice end to my “only silly holiday books in December” tradition for this year, and I‘d recommend it to anyone who loves a bit of spice in the romance. That being said, I did find the narrator inserts and the bits in verse a little jarring.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Moving lyrical memoir by a woman who was a competitive swimmer. Streaks of self destruction and glimmers of hope as she pursues a career as a writer. I could relate to the story a lot, having been a competitive gymnast and going through my own self destructive phases.

Very good read and glad I requested it for the #jolabokaflodswap!

Tigger warnings: substance abuse, child abuse, death of a child.

DimeryRene Have you ever read Chlorine by Jade Song? Not a memoir, but seems similar in tone and subject matter! 6d
Kitta @DimeryRene yes! I loved Chlorine and this reminded me of that too! 6d

I‘m dreadfully late in posting about but extremely grateful for receiving this much longed-for book!!! 😍😍😍 I‘m a huge fan of Julia Turshen and can‘t wait to read this one cover to cover and then probably make practically every recipe in it because they will all be simple and delicious. Thank you SO much for your generosity, Danielle, and I hope you had a lovely Jokabokaflod!!! #JolabokaflodSwap

I was going to do a book haul post for what I got for Christmas but I didn‘t get any books! 😳

I think people don‘t know what to buy because I‘m reading so much. Still, I‘m glad I did #jolabokaflodswap this year so at least I got one book!

So here‘s some deer instead 🦌

Soubhiville What a cool picture! And I say you take advantage of some end of year sales and buy yourself some bookish presents! 1w
Bookwormjillk Cool picture! I didn‘t get any books either. They said I have enough. Never! 1w
Kitta @Soubhiville yes, great idea! 1w
Kitta @Bookwormjillk never!! Agreed 😂 1w
