December
has been long gone and I’m aware this wrap-up comes to you a bit late but
besides the Christmas madness, I’m also being giving all my time to catching up
with Uni work. I haven’t even been reading that much. In fact, I haven’t really
opened a book in the last two weeks. Anyways, the most noteworthy thing that
happened during December was Star Wars. One of my sisters and I did a marathon
for the previous six films (I had previously seen the 3 prequels) but we both
wanted to see this new film and we thought doing a marathon would be a nice
idea and oh boy, did we enjoy it! And the new film is epicness personified. We
went to the movie theater with a friend of mine and all of us had a terrific
time. When the movie ended, we were like: “nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
we want more and more and more”. Waiting for Episode VIII is gonna be torture
for sure! Have you guys seen the movie?
In December
I read 14 books but really, 8 of them were quite short (7 were Little Black
Classics and the other was a short story by Faulkner for my American Literature
course). In December I said goodbye to two series: The Lunar Chronicles and The
Song of the Lioness quartet. The former, I was very sad to let go because it
was amazing and I cannot wait for the novellas to come out in a bind-up next
February. The latter I was very eager to finish; I had so many problems with
it, especially the lack of depth of the whole story but I think I will do a
non-spoiler review talking about what went wrong with it. And I finally started
rereading Harry Potter and oh my god, it was so nice to be back in the world.
Also, Jim Kay’s illustrations are beautiful and I cannot wait for the next
books to come out with his work within it.
I have no
plans for January except studying, studying and wait for it… studying. However,
I wanna keep rereading Harry Potter (I’m still halfway through The Chamber of Secrets) and maybe
squeeze a few other titles in there. I have no hopes for that to happen though because
this reading slump is going strong with each day and frankly speaking, with all
the stress regarding University, putting
pressure on myself to read it’s not gonna help me in the slightest. Also,
I might be a bit absent during January and the beginning of February and so I
won’t be as active with not only my blogging, but also with commenting on other
people’s blog but I’m gonna try my best to dedicate some time for it *fingers
crossed*
I hope
January is going good for you so far! And Happy (belated) New Year!
