Recent Updates and Currently Reading | December 1

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. December! Is anyone else panicking about the books you didn't get a chance to read this year? I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's best of lists this month! I'm going to get crushed by my TBR pile.

Posted Last Week


I posted my ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of the Silo Series by Hugh Howey.

I shared a few books that recently made it onto my wishlist.

I shared my ⭐⭐★★★ thoughts on Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand.

Finished Reading



Skyward by Brandon Sanderson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - So good! How does he do it?!

Currently Reading



I dove straight into Starsight when it arrived, but things were really crazy for my family throughout Thanksgiving and my concentration for reading did not exist. My goal is to finish The Eye of the World this weekend. Then I'll pick Starsight back up!

Recent Acquisitions




2nd and Charles had a Buy 5 Books, Get 5 Free sale for Black Friday. I found six books for me and four for my son. These are my six picks.

The Black Prism (Lightbringer #1) by Brent Weeks
Greenglass House (Greenglass House #1) by Kate Milford
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson
Closed for the Season by Mary Downing Hahn
The Doll in the Garden by Mary Downing Hahn
Stepping on the Cracks (Gordy Smith #1) by Mary Downing Hahn

Current Distractions



I loved Frozen II, I did not love Knives Out, and Klaus was cute.

So what about you? Let me know what you're reading (or watching) this week or leave me some links!

  1. Are there any years, where I actually read all the books I intended? The answer is never, but I made a good dent, and I don't let it get to me. I hope you are able to accomplish what you hope to, reading wise, this month.

  2. Everyone is talking about Knives Out, I sort of want to see what all the fuss is about. I need to buy a copy of Skyward!

  8. I’m for sure panicking about the books I didn’t get to read. I had a terrible reading year. I’m kind of excited to start over next year. I hope you have a good week!

  9. Is there a difference between end of the year reading panic and all year long reading panic? I've read a lot but never enough! I need to check out some of these Hahn books - they look really good!

  10. I STILL haven't read anything by Brandon Sanderson, but I've heard his books are fantastic! I wouldn't say I'm panicking about the books I didn't read, but I am still trying to get my NetGalley up to 80%. :)
