My December Reads

-


In no particular order, here are the books that I finished for the month of December and the year.


Rated: 4 stars
Dates Read: December 1-13 2024

While it took me a while to start reading and get into the book, I had heard about the series and the author in November of last year on Tiktok. Once I started reading and got into the book, I did enjoy it and found the characters to be very lovable, though sometimes annoying. When it comes to reading fantasy books, it is kind of a hit and miss for me as far whether or not I will enjoy the book or not. But this is one of the books that I did enjoy and I liked the cozy aspect of it as well.

"When a plague isn't all that kills..."

While it has been a while since I read a book that is considered teen fiction, I did enjoy reading "The Scourge." It was entertaining and I enjoyed seeing the friendship of Weevil and Ani change and grow. What happens in the book with the scourge can also be applied today, in a sense that we don't always know the full story or the truth behind everything that goes on in the world.


Rated: 4 stars
Dates Read: November 24 - December 1 2024

There were times that the story felt all over the place a little bit. But it made up for that with the way that the characters interacted with and helped each other grow. I also enjoyed the random sidenotes/newsletters from the deceased character in the book. Those moments made the character feel like a real person instead of a fictional character.


Rated: 4.5 stars
Dates Read: December 14-19 2024

I read this right after finishing the first book and I enjoyed it just as much. Since I enjoy a good petty moment here and there, I chuckled at the dedication for this book because it sounds like something that I would say or do as well. The additional characters were just as enjoyable as the ones from the first book and I can't wait to read the next two books when they come out next year.


Rated : 4 stars
Dates Read November 22 - December 23 2024

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
