Best read of last month:

Jasprit: Perfect Couple by Jennifer Echols, this book was just a super fun read, I think I devoured it in like two days, not only did I get the chance to spend time with some of my favourite characters once again, but I also got to hang out with two wonderful main characters! 

Rachel: 

Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop,  Shadowed Heart by Laura Florand, and After the Night by Linda Howard. Two of my favorite series by authors I'm in awe of in one month! Luc and Summer's continuing romance after the happily-ever-after was beautiful and heart-wrenching! I didn't want Vision in Silver to end and I want to listen to the story on audio once it's released. So, so good! After the Night was my first book by Linda Howard and it will not be the last. All three were 5 star reads for me!

Book which surprised me the most: 

Jasprit: Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch, I don't know what I was expecting going into this book, but it certainly wasn't this, the world building was fantastic and super unique!

Rachel: 

Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep. Unfortunately, not in a good way. With so much praise for the series I was hoping to love it, not so in my case. Gin was a cold main character that I found very hard to connect with and the romance was a disappointment. Let's hope the series gets better because I bought the next two books on an Audible sale before "reading" *listening* to the first one.

Fictional crush of the month:

Jasprit: Brody from Perfect Couple, I had the biggest crush on Will in Biggest Flirts, but as soon as Brody came along, I was like Will who? I could so read several more books from Brody, even though a lot of people had ideas of what Brody was like, deep down he was a really sweet guy.

Rachel:

Gray Rouillard in After the Night by Linda Howard. So sexy and bigger than life. Oh my!

Three books I'm most looking forward to this month:

I don't think there's much that I can say about these books than that they're some of my highly anticipated reads for this month. I had received copies of The Winner's Crime and The Mime Order quite a while ago, but decided to wait a while before picking them up. And Bracken's series is becoming one of my favourites yet, I'm sort of sad that I have to say bye to these characters soon :(

Closer Than You Think will be my first book by Karen Rose but it seems she writes a lot of romantic suspense and I'm a huge fan of that genre.  Worth the Risk is book two in the McKinney Brothers series by Claudia Connor and I loved the first book! Can't wait to catch up with Abby, Matt and their family as well as meet Stephen and Hannah! Burned by Karen Marie Moning...need I say more? I've been waiting FOREVER for this book so I hope it will be good! Ryodan, here I come!

I love it when a bookstore has all of your favourite authors books in. I about squealed when I saw this shelf at the Foyles store at Charing Cross and it was great to see two of Jenny's books promoted as staff picks. Everyone needs to read books by Jenny Han! 

How was your December?
