So December has begun and I have a huge reading pile to get through before January... plus a few other things that MUST get done... so lets crack on and get into all the books.
Firstly, the most important thing I must complete this month is my epic first generation pokemon cross stitch; I am aiming to have this complete by the 10th however the 15th is looking more likely due to university and work commitments. So I am currently devoting every waking minute to get stitches into this beast and I will be extremely happy when its done because that means I can read all the books.
After my pokemon project is complete I will be taking a month or two away from cross stitch to focus on my uni work and to focus on getting my enormous tbr pile down... hopefully to below 50 books... but I keep buying books... can someone come and take away my card?!?
So the books...
I plan on participating in the harry-xmas-readathon; if you would like to check out the announcement video of this read-a-thon please follow the link below.
So if you've done that (or are already aware of the read-a-thon) you'll know I plan on rereading all 7 Harry Potter books this month!!!!!
So for those who need a recap this is the epic adventure of one Harry Potter who discovers that he is in fact a wizard and is sent off to the magical school which is Hogwarts. Now Hogwarts seems all well and good until you through an evil wizard who both killed Harry's parents and practically took over the magical world! The seven books cover Harry's journey through the years at Hogwarts and his battles with both himself and Voldermort and there is only one way this could end... 8 epic films... that's how it ends!!
So yes I plan on reading from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone all the way to the Deathly Hallows... but I also plan on watching each film after reading the book.
However this challenge is not the only books I plan on reading... yes I think I have gone a little crazy.
To round my TBR list to a nice round 10 books I plan on reading:
- The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
This is an epic adult fantasy based in Scion London, following a 19 year old Paige who is clairvoyant and constantly committing treason... sounds like the start of a very good series. - Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs
Another first of a series being started here... when I first picked it up I didn't realise it was the start as it was from a charity shop and didn't say it was... not good since I was on a series buying ban at the time... oops. - VIII by H.M. Castor
And finally a stand alone historical novel based around Henry the eighth with a magical and dark twist.
So this month is going to be busy... uni... work... stitching... and a tone of reading.... oh and Christmas (nearly forgot Christmas)
Would love to know which books you plan on delving into before the end of the year.
Good Luck,
Helen x
