I love just watching booktube and screenshotting any book I find interesting and then realizing I have no memory of any of the pictures I now have sitting on my desktop.
I FRIGGING GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW YOUR COMMENT I LOVE THE SONG OF ACHILLES SO MUCH I WENT ON A FEELS TRIP WITH THAT BOOK I LOVE IT SO MUCH I PROMISED MYSELF THAT I WOULD NAME MY CHILD ACHILLES IF I EVER HAVE ONE I'm such trash for that book!!!!
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is amazing! I loved it so so much. Basically its about life as a first or second generation immigrant from Dominican Republic (I can't remember) that's now living in New Jersey, so it deals a lot with cultural representation and the sense of not belonging completely to neither the american culture nor the latin one in Dominican Republic. It's such a smart book.
uuuuuuhhh I don't know what's going on with this book but Lady Jane Grey was put in the throne after Edward VI died not like in place of him so like... idk if I would 100% trust the historical accuracy of this book
My fiancé got me _Catalyst_ (the Rogue One prequel book) and the novelization of _Rogue One_, and my mom got me Carrie Fisher's new book, _The Princess Diarist_. I'm hoping to buy more on Amazon since I got a gift card for Christmas too.
I love those harry potter covers! I just bought that entire set at Walmart a few months back and those covers are giving me LIFE on my bookshelf. they are GORGEOUS ❤
Oscar Wao is simultaneously a classic coming of age story and a wildly refreshing read, definitely raw and emotionally intense but absolutely brilliant- Junot Diaz is one of my favorite authors of all time and if you enjoy Oscar Wao I'd definitely recommend picking up his other two short story collections!
The Book Thief. Best. Book. Ever. I was in science when I finished it, and I started crying a lot, then I told my friend and we cried together. Our crying was interrupted when my science teacher told me I was disrupting the class and sent me across the hall to the library.
As soon as pay day comes along, I'm buying myself new bookshelves and some new books. I just finished and loved An Ember in the Ashes, so one of the first ones I'm is A Torch Against the Night! Great haul Regan!!
I got Vampire academy for Christmas as well as the daughter of smoke and bone trilogy and I'm so excited!!! And with the money I got I bought throne of Glass colouring book, red queen and Glass sword with the colouring book, cinder, scalet and cress, stalking Jack the Ripper, black moon, the new Cassandra Clare book, the hammer of Thor and that's it :)
For Christmas I got Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige, Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill (really excited for this one!) and finally the entire These Broken Stars Trilogy by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. Can't wait to read these and I hope anyone who reads this had a wonderful Christmas themselves!!!
Oscar Wao is honestly hard to explain but essentially it follows Oscar and his family through life in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to New Jersey and back again. It's funny and so, so heartbreaking. It'll give you feels. I loved this book so much I read This is How You Lose Her (where I fell even more in love) and I'm currently reading Drown.
Can't wait for you to read And I Darken, it's my favorite book of 2016! It's everything you say it is, but then there's also so many more political, social and religious issues being addressed, it's fantastic. Can't wait to hear what you think.
This month I got the British paperbacks for the H.P. series, thus I can finally read the entire series! I can't wait to read. I can't believe it took me practically my whole life to finally get them and start reading them ;)
I received the Dash and Lily books as well as the Hating Game, but my book of the season/of the year is London Belongs to Me. Everyone should read it! I'm not surprised you liked it, Regan.
Fate of the Tearling was so good!!! Love love love. The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao was very good, but also quite sad. Better to get into it without too much info beforehand I think.
Lin Manuel-Miranda narrates the audiobook for Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe! I've been meaning to listen to it because it was one of my favorite books from a few years ago.
I received the Mistborn trilogy, Heartless, Crooked Kingdom, Like a River Glorious, the illustrated Harry potter Chamber of Secrets and 6 adult coloring books.
I got the _Six of Crows_ duology box set for Christmas and I'm so excited to start it. I'm currently reading _The Falling Kingdoms_ series (I'm just finished _Rebel Spring_) and plan to start _Six of Crows_ after finish the series. I've been hearing a lot about _My Lady Jane_, I think I'm going to give it a try.
I only technically got one book for Christmas (The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers) but I have four more coming in the mail tomorrow and I'm spending a day at Barnes and Noble later this week so yay for that!
I got the Chamber of Secrets Illustrated Edition and I also got Talking as Fast As I Can by Lauren Graham. Which I am super excited about cause my secret Santa from a Goodreads group gave it to me and I love Gilmore Girls
I got three arcs this month which are The Good Daughter by Alexandra Burt, A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan Messiner, and Gone Without a Trace by Mary Torjussen
My Lady Jane is sooo good! It has some romance in it and its the type of romance that will warm your heart, is HILARIOUS and builds (def not like other YA books😂)
Basically bought myself Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone in the illustrated edition and a beautiful edition of Alice Through The Looking Glass, and I'm super happy about it hahaha
OMIGOODNESS, you are going to LOVE My Lady Jane! It's so fantastic - I laughed my head off when reading that book! And I Darken is a great book, too, but heads up - it's not really a fantasy moreso a historic re-telling. (I was confused why it was labeled as a fantasy, too.)
Oh my gosh!! I freakin love The Falling Kingdoms series too. Got Crystal Storm for Christmas but I'm still thinking if I should go back and reread Frozen Tides so I remember what happened. 🤔
I haven't read My Lady Jane but considering Lady Jane Grey was put on the throne BY Edward VI, not to rob him of the throne as the blurb suggests, I would definitely take it with a pinch of salt (also look up the actual story because it's super interesting)
I recently read A darker shade of magic which I LOVED. Also re read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with Christmas. Currently I'm reading Half Lost by Sally Green which I'm not very fond of unfortunately. But I'm loaning it from the library so that's okay. And recently I bought Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, Empire of Storms, Nevernight by Jay Kristoff and the script of Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. Can't wait to read them!
SO MANY GREAT BOOKS.. the fallen kingdom series sounds really good.. I really wanna read Nest, My Lady Jane, And I Darken & Jane Steele! I didn't get any gifts for christmas, instead my mom gave me money and the first thing I did was that I bought Tales from The Shadowhunter Academy.. XD
Loved your Christmas book haul. I got a number of books but just started In The Woods by Tana French. Love your videos and have a number of books on my TBR from them.
I got Milk & Honey by Rupi Kaur for Christmas! I didn't know much about it, but I ended up liking the poems a lot! I need to add a few from your haul to my list!
anybody got some anticipated diverse reads for 2017? im sooo excited for the hate u give- angie thomas, history is all you left me-adam silvera, and the gallery of unfinished girls- lauren karcz. look em up! excited to be reading more diversely next year. have a great 2017 y'all
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is INCREDIBLE. It uses geek/nerd culture to examine the immigrant experience in the US, and as a tool to explain the political and cultural history of the Dominican Republic. It's so incredibly unique and well written and engaging and wonderful ENJOY!!!
i just had a fridge moment because i had to read TBWLOW for a class a couple of semesters ago before I was fully aware of who Lin-Manuel was and I listened to the friggin audiobook while reading it and had NO CLUE. THIS IS CRAZY I MIGHT HAVE TO GET IT FROM THE LIBRARY AGAIN SO I CAN FULLY APPRECIATE IT.
I bought for myself Tell the wolves I'm home and The black Prism. And I got Station Eleven, Warbreaker, The lies of Locke Lamora. SUPER excited for The black Prism :)
I didn't get any books for Christmas this year... But I might have gone out and bought several for myself. Haha! I DID get The Only Pirate at the Party (which I already owned) signed by Lindsey Stirling though!
I love just watching booktube and screenshotting any book I find interesting and then realizing I have no memory of any of the pictures I now have sitting on my desktop.

The Book Thief. Best. Book. Ever. I was in science when I finished it, and I started crying a lot, then I told my friend and we cried together. Our crying was interrupted when my science teacher told me I was disrupting the class and sent me across the hall to the library.
I'm so excited for the Fate of the Tearling! Definitely my most anticipated for this year
You are going to LOVE My Lady Jane! It's actually pretty historically accurate... at least as accurate it can be when they're revising history 😂
Merry Christmas and good luck with all of your news books! That edition of the Harry Potter books is stunning ❤
As soon as pay day comes along, I'm buying myself new bookshelves and some new books. I just finished and loved An Ember in the Ashes, so one of the first ones I'm is A Torch Against the Night! Great haul Regan!!

Oscar Wao is such an amazing book!!! It's about his life and his journey from the Dominican Republic to the United States and back.

Can't wait to read these and I hope anyone who reads this had a wonderful Christmas themselves!!!
