Wrap-Up | What I Read in December 2023

Hello friends!

I hope you’re all doing well! Today I’m bringing you all the books I read in December. I’m not going to lie, this was not the best reading month for me. I believed I would have time to read all the books I planned for the month, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned in December!

The truth is that I wasn’t exactly busy because of the holidays – I picked up a new hobby that consumed a lot of time (I’ll tell you all about it soon). I hoped I would read like I did in November, but that just didn’t happen – and that’s okay.

I ended up reading 5 books this month, which include 2 manga volumes, 1 non-fiction book, 1 fantasy book from a series, and a memoir. Let’s take a look at the books, shall we?

1. Pita-Ten Vol. 1 by Koge-Donbo: 3.5/5⭐

This was the manga I decided to start in December! It was part of my monthly TBR and fortunately, I was able to finish it. So far so good, but I still prefer the anime version! We’ll see how the rest of the volumes go.

2. Pita-Ten Vol. 2 by Koge-Donbo: 3.5/5⭐

Another volume from the manga was completed in December. I was planning on reading the third volume as well, but I just didn’t have the time!

3. Ready Player Two (Ready Player One #2) by Ernest Cline: 3.5/5⭐

I’m very excited to say I completed this duology! To be completely honest, I didn’t love this one as much I did the first one. It was just not as good, but I’m still glad I finished another series I’ve been wanting to read!

4. Things My Son Needs to Know About the World by Fredrik Backman: 3.5/5⭐

This is a book I picked randomly and I didn’t know much about it other than who the author was. I’ve read a few books from Fredrik Backman before and I was curious about this one. Unlike his usual work, this is a non-fiction book and it’s essentially a love letter to his newborn son. It was very beautiful and sweet, and I appreciate him sharing it with the world.

5. Pageboy by Elliot Page: 3.5/5⭐

An interesting memoir to say the least! As soon as I saw this was going to be released I was immediately interested in it. I have a few conflicting feelings about this memoir because I wish was more focused on him instead of focusing so much on romantic relationships. Also, I think if the book followed a timeline it would be easier to enjoy. Not great, but I still liked it though.

As usual, I’ll be posting the reviews for these books soon.
