December Monthly Wrap Up (2018)

Off the Blog:

Hey everyone!!  I can't believe that December has come and gone!  I had a wonderful Christmas as I got a lot of awesome presents such as a book tote bag, a "Nightmare Before Christmas" pop up book, Avengers: Infinity War DVD and Deadpool 2 Blu Ray!  I'm really excited about what the New Year will bring and I hope to have a great 2019!

On the Blog:

Unfortunately, I only read 2 books for this month and I wasn't able to reach the 80 books goal that I had set out for myself earlier this year.  But, at least I read a lot of great books this year!  Hopefully, I'll be able to read more books next year and actually reach my reading goal for next year!

Books Read this Month:

1.  Book Love by Debbie Tung  (NETGALLEY)

2.  Spider-Man/Deadpool Volume 0: Don’t Call it a Team-Up by Joe Kelly
