The covers for your December TBR look beautiful! I can’t wait to see if their contents match up with their covers. 😉
I hope that you hear back positively from your dream school. I’m rooting for you!

Oooooh, here’s hoping you enjoy both Caraval AND Poison’s Kiss–both of those are on my “want to read RIGHT NOW oh my penguins!” list and I cannot wait to start seeing reviews/get my hands on them!
Also, congratulations on finishing up college applications–and good luck to you on all of those college-y endeavors! Hopefully it’s all good news when the responses start rolling in (or, at least, good news on the ones you’re most hoping for!)
Here’s hoping the next month is just as awesome and full of books for you! Here’s my Loved and Loathed (November 2016) if you’re interested in checking it out; no worries or pressure if you’re not, though! Happy book-ing to you in the near future! ❤

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about Siege and Storm! It’s my least favorite books in the grisha trilogy but hopefully you’ll have more positive thoughts on it 🙂 Good luck on the university, I hope everything will work out fine for you Alice! Also, I really like the snowflakes effect on your blog! ❤
LikeLike
That’s awesome! I actually liked S&S more than I liked S&B but I’ll definitely talk about that in my review! 🙂 Thank you, Tasya! I also like the snowflakes though I’m not sure where they came from haha!

How have you been liking the Grisha trilogy? I’ve been meaning to read it for a long time and haven’t committed yet haha

It’s really not what I expected. It’s rather slow (which drives me up the wall) but there are aspects of it that I do really enjoy so I’m pretty conflicted. I’ve been meaning to write reviews for each of the books, so hopefully I’ll keep that promise to myself! 🙂

I hope you do because I’d love to read them (if they’re spoiler free). There’s seems to be people who really loved the series or who don’t, I’m still on the fence because of that haha
