Hello December + November Wrap Up and Wrap Up Tag

Time has gotten away from me in the last week or so, so what I would usually post as three separate short posts, I'm condensing into one, very slightly longer post.

First things first, we're saying goodbye to November and hello to December. November brought with it fewer posts than October, but that doesn't surprise me because in October I was posting nearly every day, sometimes twice a day. In November, I didn't read enough to create that much content. All in all though, I still managed to post 18 times, which is still a lot for me.

I don't have a lot planned for December, and I can pretty much guarantee that I will be posting significantly less this month. I do have a few things planned though, so far I know that I have one author interview to post, one book blitz (with a giveaway!), and I'm hoping to be finishing with Smoke and Mirrors: The Trueheart by Helene Opocensky and Synclair by Rachel Gold, so if I do that, there will be reviews for those this month.

Last but certainly not least the lovely Pheonix at Books With Wings tagged me in her Wrap-Up Tag. I'm so happy to be tagged in her post again, just because time has gotten away from me in the last week or so doesn't mean that I would miss the opportunity post the tag again!

I would also like to once again tag CM Alsop at YA Lit Reviews for Teens and Libraries and Laura at Blue Eyed Books

To participate, just follow these rules:

• Link back to the original creator (Pheonix at Books With Wings)
• Thank the person who tagged you (Thank you so much Pheonix! I love your tags.)
• Answer all the questions
• Tag 3 people
• Enjoy!

Okay, so, here I go with the questions

A book you read this month with a strong bond (friends, family etc.)

I think I'm gonna go with Down World by Rebecca Phelps for this one, the bond that exists at the very beginning between brother and sister is very strong here, and the bonds that form throughout the book are also strong and create a found-family vibe.

A book you read this month in which the characters feasted

I think I'll go with The Life and Deaths of Frankie D. by Colleen Nelson. The feast wasn't huge, but I think it counts, there was a bunch of people gathering. There was food. There was wine. That checks all the boxes for me.

The characters you would love to invite to your house for Thanksgiving (pre-covid)

I would say I definitely want Monsieur Duval from The Life and Deaths of Frankie D. and Max from Smoke and Mirrors: The Trueheart. (which yes, technically I'm still reading, but I started reading it in November so I'm hoping I can still count itt) I think Duval and Max would definitely get in an argument about magic, but that's okay. After all, what's Thanksgiving without a little argument at the dinner table?

Pokemon Halloween Book Tag

I wanted to post the Pokémon Halloween Book Tag, because it's the final days before Halloween and I want to soak up as much of the spooky mood as possible, plus, Pokémon. Which will never go out of style. I will admit that I am breaking the rules, I wasn't tagged in this, but I just wanted to post it anyway. In the spirit of keeping the tag alive though, if you want to post it too, just say that I tagged you! That way, I'll be the only rulebreaker.

I believe this tag was started over at My Lovely Secret

Anyway, onto the questions!

I wouldn't say that any book has ever genuinely spooked me, but since I have to pick something, I'm gonna say After Obsession by Carrie Jones and Steven E. Wedel.

My pick for creepy but beautiful cover will always be the cover of The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff.

I'm gonna use the same answer as the above question. The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff, because I remember loving this book, but nobody else I know has even heard of it, let alone read it, too.

Warner from the Shatter Me Trilogy will always be my favourite misunderstood bad guy, I don't think a lot of other devious characters have even come close to how much I love Warner.

I haven't actually gotten into a lot of fantasy series, and none of them have felt never-ending, so I don't think I have an answer for this question. If anybody that reads this has any recommendations for any never ending fantasy series, don't be shy to let me know! 

And on the last day before Halloween, that concludes the Pokémon Halloween book tag.
