Is it New Year's Eve yet? I am ready for the slower pace of January, when I feel like I have time to sit down and do things-- like read. That said, I am enjoying all the holiday get-togethers and the cookies and peppermint things that come along with the Christmas season! . . . #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #violinistofvenice #alyssapalombo #tbr #historicalfiction

And by favorite, I mean I could read this another twenty-five times and be perfectly happy. . . . #thefellowshipofthering #fotr #lotr #thelordoftherings #tolkien #tolkienfan #favoriteauthors #favoritebooks #frodolives #amreading #currentreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer

It always seems to be a different book whenever I come back to it. . . . #susancooper #thedarkisrising #greenwitch #arthurianlore #books #fantasynovels #yafantasy #favoritebooks #tbr #bookstack #bookstagram
I wanted to start reading Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin last night, but by the time I got home and finished doing all the annoying housekeeping, I was too tired to read anything, and went to bed. Oh well. Maybe tonight. . . . #winterstale #winterreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #blue #booklove #tbr #toread
My December TBR. Not as many books as other months, but a lot of pages.
