December 2017 Reading Wrap Up!

Because I knew I would be travelling at the end of December and I definitely did not want to be filming a video while on vacation, I decided that for my December reading wrap up, I'd put together a wrap up blog post in lieu of a traditional sit-down mini-review session. I did do mini reviews of each of these books at the end of my Happy Vlogidays vlogs, so if you're interested in finding out what I thought about these books in a more in-depth fashion, watch those vlogs and scroll to the end. Here in this post I'll just be giving you my stats for the month and my ratings for each. Hopefully this works for you all while I am away! :D

I was actually very happy with the way my December reading turned out. December is a busy month for practically everyone on the planet, so I'm happy that I was able to find a decent amount of downtime to read throughout this hectic month. I was also scrambling to get all of my 2017 Reading Goals completed by the end of the month, which I'm happy to report that I was able to do! (A more in-depth "2017 Goals in Review" video to come when I return from vacation!) Hooray for successful reading months! :D
