WORD COUNT: 606 448

According to How Long to Read I read 606 448 words in December. I didn't have much reading time past month, so this is the lowest number of pages I have read since I started to do monthly word count in my recap posts. Hopefully, next month will be better for me in that regard.

CHRISTMAS HAUL:

(lluminae / Six of Crows)

(Red Rising / Golden Son / One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / Voyager)

EBOOKS (READ):

Oblivion (Lux #1.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout (3.5 STARS) 

No panic. 3.5 stars is a good rating. It means that overall I did enjoy this book. However, writing-wise, Oblivion is no masterpiece. (I could live without all those repetitive phrases that author used.) But it reminded me why I fell in love with Lux series all those years ago in the first place and feel motivated to finish this series and read final instalment.

Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout (3 STARS)

Once again conclusion to series (that I love) written by JLA did not satisfy me. I enjoyed banters (it is Daemon after all) but overall I didn't love this book because it didn't reached the level of awesomeness from previous instalments. Sad times.

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner (3 STARS)
I liked writing and characters but story...not so much. Full review later!

A Betting Man by mybluesky (4 STARS)

This story had „How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days“ vibe and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It was funny, light and enjoyable – it had everything I like about leisure contemporary read.

DNF-IED BOOK & RE-READ:

.

The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig (DNF at 22%) 

This is perfect example of „it’s me not you“ kind of book. Full review to come next month.

 

Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout (RE-READ) 

I read this more than two years ago so now I needed to remind myself what had happened before I started book #5.

FUTURE READ:

 

Seeing Teaser Trailer for 11.23.63 TV show by Hulu reminded me that I still haven't read the book by Stephen King. I plan to rectify it very soon and start it by the end of this year!
