I'm done away because Christmas is over now even though I slow myself up because I just can't let it go. The next book I bought is Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum, and I don't know but the cover has waffles on it which is all you really need to know right? Because it's waffles. I have been eyeing this one a Target for a while. You ever have those books you walk around for a while you're like I'm not sure I'm not sure, and then I had a gift card and I was like well I'm sure now. This is a contemporary book and it's about a girl named Jesse and she is starting her junior year at a Prep School in LA and she's really having a hard time with it that she gets an email from a person calling themselves somebody sln nobody SN for sure almost like screen name for all the M users out there who use screen names and had away messages, I'm with you. I was all about the a um so they help navigate her the they help to navigate her through the new journey of her new prep school and it's all about that and I think she begins to rely on this person and she begins to maybe have feelings for this person she doesn't know who it is.

I've heard really cute things about this book, and honestly I always like having a few contemporary books on my shelves because they're like I said they're kind of my go-to especially when I'm in a slump. Because I just know that they'll get me out of it, and I just enjoy contemporaries. I didn't read too many in 2016 but 2017 I want to keep it that way but I want to read a little bit more because I just love contemporaries so much honestly the next book is an arc and Bloon three sent it to me, and it's called Letters to the Loss by Bridget Kemmer. This one sounds so awesome all about a girl named Juliet who always always writes letters to her mother even after her mother's death. She leaves letters on the grave on her grave is the only way she can cope and it's about this guy named Dean who he is having a court order community service at the local Cemetery which why would they do that there I don't know but he um sees all these notes and I think he's they he starts writing back to her and they start writing back and forth, and it sounds really cool. But it also sounds very like creepy like I love the whole like secret pen pal thing but secret pen pal is when you're writing to your dead mother.

I feel like the de guy like why do you pick up this letter and read it and then he's like oh I think it's okay for me to read these letters, I'm like no that that's not okay, you should not be reading those letters, those are for her mother. So I think it's going to be awesome but I just can't get past that notion of like that's kind of weird. But I really am intrigued by it and the cover is beautiful it's got all these paper roses with letters on them with letters actually on them so it's beautiful. I want to check this one out because it sounds very interesting, it sounds like it's going to be very heartbreaking book which I do enjoy those books but they break my heart because they are heartbreaking.

Last book Hartine sent to me, and it's another Arc, and that is Spindle Fire by Lexa Hille. This is actually in my most anticipated releases for 2017 this is a new book I don't know if it's a series or a standalone I'm not too sure but this is all about a like dark Rapunzel that's basically it honestly that's all I need to know because I do love me a dark fairy tale retelling any day of the week. So that was all the books I received SL bought for the month of December there is a lot to add to my shelves which I'm nervous about because I don't know if I have any more room.

If you have read or heard of any of these books please let me know down in the comments what you think about them, and all that kind of thing.

this before Christmas but I plan to read it next Christmas this is all about a boy named Nicholas who is nicknamed Christmas and basically it's all about his life and how he becomes to know the boy called Christmas I'm guessing he becomes Santa Claus so it just looks like a really cute middle- grade read that's what Alit Junior ships in all their boxes is middle grade read so I leave that link right there if you want to check out the box if you're interested in it it's um designed for 8 to 12 year olds and it's gender neutral and it's just awesome so excited for both of these books and the alates they just sound so awesome sadly I can't read this one right right away because Christmas is over now even though I slow myself up because I just can't let it go the next book I bought is tell me Three Things by Julie Buck Buxom I don't know but the cover has waffles on it which is all you really need to know right because it's waffles I have been eyeing this one a target for a while you ever have those books you walk around for a while you're like I'm not sure I'm not sure and then I had a gift card and I was like well I'm sure now this is all about this is a contemporary book and it's about a girl named Jesse and she is starting her junior year at a Prep School in LA and she's really having a hard time with it that she gets an email from a person calling themselves somebody sln nobody SN for sure almost like screen name for all the M users out there who use screen names and had away messages I'm with you I was all about the a um so they help navigate her the they help to navigate her through the new journey of her new prep school and it's all about that and I think she begins to rely on this person and she begins to maybe have feelings for this person she doesn't know who it is I've heard really cute things about this book and honestly I always like having a few contemporary books on my shelves because they're like I said they're kind of my go-to especially when I'm in a slump because I just know that they'll get me out of it and I just enjoy contemporaries I didn't read too many in 2016 but 2017 I want to keep it that way but I want to read a little bit more because I just love contemporaries so much honestly the next book is an arc and Bloon three sent it to me and it's called letters to the loss by Bridget Kemmer and this one sounds so awesome all about a girl named Juliet who always always writes letters to her mother even after her mother's death she leaves letters on the grave on her grave is the only way she can cope and it's about this guy named Dean who he is having a court order community service at the local Cemetery which why would they do that there I don't know but he um sees all these notes and I think he's they he starts writing back to her and they start writing back and forth and it sounds really cool but it also sounds very like creepy like I love the whole like secret pen pal thing but secret pen pal is when you're writing to your dead mother and I feel like the de guy like why do you pick up this letter and read it and then he's like oh I think it's okay for me to read these letters I'm like no that that's not okay you should not be reading those letters those are for her mother so I think it's going to be awesome but I just can't get past that notion of like that's kind of weird but I really am intrigued by it and the cover is beautiful it's got all these paper roses with letters on them with letters actually on them so it's beautiful I want to check this one out because it sounds very interesting it sounds like it's going to be very heartbreaking book which I do enjoy those but they break my heart because they are heartbreaking and last book hartine sent to me it's another Arc and that is spindle Fire by Lexa Hiller this is actually in my most anticipated releases for 2017 this is a new book I don't know if it's a series or a standalone I'm not too sure but this is all about a like dark Rapunzel that's basically it honestly that's all I need to know because I do love me a dark fairy tale retellings any day of the week so that was all the books I received SL bought for the month of December
