December (more like Bookember, amiright?) recap

December may have been the nicest month to me this year. I received a crazy amount of books, finished books I wanted to get to, and finished my first semester away from home. While I went back to a blogging slump and had a few frustrating circumstances come my way, I feel relatively good with how I'm closing my year off. Now onto the books!

For review:

• A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (Bloomsbury)

Hand-me-downs aka books Shae was getting rid of: 

• Princess in the Spotlight by Meg Cabot
• A Death-Struck Year by Makiia Lucier
• This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
• Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsay Lane
• Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by
• The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepher
• An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
• Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend by Katie Finn
• Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay

Bookish (and not-so-bookish) Happenings:

• As you can see (or saw on Twitter), I finally cashed in my Harry Potter virgin card! I've already gone to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal, but I definitely want to go back now. After the books, I'll watch the movies!
• I finished my first semester of college. I was going to do a recap, but I'll think I'll hold off for the end of the year. Only because I'm lazy and really don't want to think of school anymore. 
• I attended the Bloomsbury Shindig earlier this month (or late November) where the wonderful Bloomsbury employees showed us 2015 releases. 
• DID YOU SEE ALL THE BOOKS I GOT? 
• I also ordered a package from Better World Books that should be coming next week. 

Don't forget I'm currently hosting a giveaway for The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord, which you should go enter in NOW. Watch out for my 2015 End of the Year Book Survey this week!
