December Reads in Review

So based on the extreme amount of Christmas I needed to complete this month, I may have cheated a bit on my 3 book minimum.  Technically I did read 3 books - but one of them may have had about 30 words in the whole thing...

"Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery" by Jenny Colgan: Yes it's another Jenny Colgan.  Yes it's a Christmas book.  Yes it's a sequel to another book I read this year.  And Yes I loved it just as much as I loved all the other Jenny Colgan Christmas and Beach Street Books I read this year.  So fun!  Such an easy and charming read and perfect for Christmas.

"Jim Henson's Labyrinth Tales" by Cory Godbey: This is the one I cheated with.  I LOVE Labyrinth so I was super happy to receive this one as a Christmas present.  Of course, when I saw it online, I wasn't aware that the tales were just a few words each.  But the pictures are just as adorable as the characters in the movie, so I was happy.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by J.K Rowling (Illustrated version): Yes I've read Harry Potter before.  I love them all.  However, I couldn't wait to re-read when I saw the illustrated versions were coming out.  Luckily, I received the first 2 for Christmas.  As amazing as they are the first time around, this illustrated version might be even cooler.  The graphics are gorgeous!  I always hated the movies because they changed what I saw in the books.  But somehow, these illustrations match up perfectly to what I imagined in my head.  I can't wait until the next 5 books come out! And I'm already hoping they release "The Cursed Child" in an illustrated version as well : )

Well, that's that.  My last post of 2016.  Here's hoping that 2017 will be a bit calmer and just a bit more lovely.  Happy New Year!
