December was a good reading month for me. It helped that I read 12 books over my Christmas break. What a sweet way to spend a vacation. :)

In conclusion, I adored Fish in a Tree. Teachers must read this one. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry was my next favorite. It's an endearing and thought-provoking story. I read quite a few Sandra Brown books. Minus the steamy scenes, I enjoy the suspenseful plots.
12 books! Impressive! I am so glad that you enjoyed your break and that you got time to read and relax. :)
ReplyDeleteLori, Me too! It's exactly what I wanted for myself. :)
DeleteI love when you share your reading list -- I always find one or two to put on my want to read list. Sara
ReplyDeleteSara, I'm so glad. That's why I keep sharing. :)
DeleteI also love reading what you're reading! I loved Harold Fry as well. I read so many reviews where they thought it was too dull and I like, hello? did we read the same book! I have Snicker of Magic in my pile right now to read for my student book club. Thanks for your suggestions! (I am also very impressed 12 books!!!!) :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Trayers, Harold Fry is hard not to enjoy as far as I'm concerned. I'll be interested to see what you thought about Snicker of Magic. I didn't love it as much as I would have hoped.
DeleteThanks again for your book list, Tammy!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to put Fish in a Tree on hold at the public library.
I really enjoyed Rain Reign, too!
And I'm so glad to see you gave I am Malala a two star rating. I read it awhile ago and I was VERY disappointed. Like you said, the story was inspiring, but oh my gosh! the writing was just awful. I had to speed read/skim through the last half ... I just couldn't take it anymore.
Barb, you will LOVE Fish in a tree! Guaranteed.
