December 2020 Wrap-up
*I abandoned my blog for a bit and so I am trying to catch back up. It would bug me too much to not finish my wrap-up posts I did all last year, so I am doing them now. And will probably do it for the first six months of 2021 too.
The depression continued in December, but I went hard to finish all my goals. I did a 24 hour readathon on the 21st and read four books.
The Star-Touched Queen (The Star-Touched Queen #1) by Roshani Chokshi [★☆☆☆☆]
Persuasion by Jane Austen [★★★★☆]
Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff [★★★★☆]
Normal People by Sally Rooney [★★★★★]
The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma [★★★★★]
A Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Dugard [★★★★☆]
Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu [★★★☆☆]
Beautiful You by Chuck Palahniuk [★★☆☆☆]
Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations by Mira Jacob [★★★★★]
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami [★★★★☆]
Books in bold are ones that I own(ed)
My favorite book of the month was Normal People
A Stolen Life went towards my 2020 Goal for the TBRBusterchallenge made by @bookbandit of reading one nonfiction book a month I’ve owned a year or longer.
Overall Goals 2020 Check-In:
Read 30 minutes a day [366/366]

TBRBuster Check-In:
all books have to be owned for a year or longer at the time of reading
Read one nonfiction book a month, these do not count towards yearly goal [12/12]
