December Monthly Wrap-Up

December 2018 is over, and it’s time to start reading all those wonderful 2019 books! But before I do, here’s a look at what happened in December 2018:

Books I Read:

I read nine books this month, and two of them were pretty short. But one of the books was 880 pages! A couple others were really long too.

• Lady Midnight – Cassandra Clare
• Lord of Shadows – Cassandra Clare
• Queen of Air and Darkness – Cassandra Clare
• My True Love Gave to Me
• Brenna Morgan and the Iron Key – Katie Masters
• Furyborn – Claire Legrand
• The Girl King – Mimi Yu
• The Invisible War: A Tale on Two Scales – Ailsa Wild
• Legend (the Graphic Novel) – Marie Lu

Oddly enough, the last book I read in 2017 was Warcross by Marie Lu, and the last book I read in 2018 was Legend (the Graphic Novel) by Marie Lu. I tried to finish The Gilded Wolves before the ball dropped, but it just didn’t happen.

Blog Stats:

• I reached 1,837 Twitter followers and went over 100,000 impressions. In March, I had 374 impressions, so I say that my Twitter account has seen a lot of growth.
• I was able to spend a little more time visiting other people’s blogs and saw a small amount of blog growth.

Writing:

The Brightness of Shadow is at 59,533 words, so I didn’t get a great deal written there, but I’m down to 6 chapters left. I also finished a fanfic, Brenna Morgan and the Silver Portal (Katie Masters said that she thought it would be awesome if someone wrote a fanfic for her, so I did). I also wrote One Cold Night, a short story that’s based on something I witnessed at work.

Life:

My daughter went back to the hospital, but we’re hopeful that she won’t go back. Most of this month was spent going to work. Then there was Christmas, and that was all about the books, LOL. I’m hopeful for a great 2019.

So that’s about it! I’m looking forward to a great year in books starting this month!
