I hope you all had a great start in 2015!
Be happy and remember that the world goes on and so will you at some point, so don't force yourself to get over things when you're not ready yet!
That's something I've learned in 2014 and want to keep for 2015 and the years beyond.
What are your resolutions for the new year? Do you have any?
Okay, but now- let's get started with the bookish stuff!
My December Book Haul would be pretty small without my Christmas presents!
I 'only' bought 5 books by myself:
- Cress by Marissa Meyer
series, so I can't tell you much about the plot!
In Cress we get a new main character and guess what
she's called! You're right - Cress!
She joins the team - well, more or less.
Also, we get more of Cinder, Kai, Wolf, Scarlet and Thorne!
I got these two for free in the App Store!
- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
I actually never read the original story - only retellings!I can't wait to get to this one!
- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
I already own The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, so I just had to
get this one, too! - And it was for free!
And the last one I bought:
- My True Love Gave To Me by various authors
12 winterly romance stories
by a bunch of authors! I can't wait
to read the stories written by Rainbow Rowell and Stephanie
Perkins!
Thanks again to my wonderful family for getting me 14 books! I still can't believe it!
My pile is so frigging huge!
I took some close-up pictures, so you can read the titles better but I'm going to mention them anyway:

it's just a cute and lovely told story!

This one will be a re-read but I can't wait for it! It's been years since I've read it the last time!

I started it months ago but always had more important books

- Fairest by Marissa Meyer
I can't wait! I'm literally bouncing with anticipation right now!
So, guys, that's it for today!
My mom is already glaring at me which means I have to finish this post fast.

Let's have a great month and a even greater year!
I won't post a 'Fandom Friday' today because mom's getting angry - sorry!
I have to move that to tomorrow and will post it with a review on 'Angelfall' by Susan Ee!
Love you all!
