December 2017 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started December with 210 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …209! The holidays are always hectic but I managed to get a fair bit read anyways. Didn’t get any books for Christmas other than a cookbook, though, although that’s probably for the best. I did acquire a fair number of ebooks and audiobooks, though. I can’t be good all the time!

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo – The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg – The Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley (reviews coming soon)
Read But Not Owned (Books) – The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan – Locke & Key: Small World by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez (reviews coming soon)
E-Books – A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (review coming soon)
Re-Reads – Locke & Key, Vol. 2: Head Games by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez – Locke & Key, Vol. 3: Crown of Shadows by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez – Locke & Key, Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez – Locke & Key, Vol. 5: Clockworks by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez – Locke & Key, Vol. 6: Alpha and Omega by Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez – To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis – The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – Landline by Rainbow Rowell (review coming soon)

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
Miraculously, nothing this month!
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!)
– The City Tavern Cookbook: Recipes from the Birthplace of American Cuisine by Walter Staib
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink	– Hidden Figures: The Untold True Story of Four African-American Women Who Helped Launch our Nation Into Space by Margot Lee Shetterly
– Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew Sullivan	– The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell
– A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas	– A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
– Uprooted by Naomi Novik	* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest.
