December TBR (2023)

 Hey guys, this is Abi here, 

And we're officially going into the final month of 2023! I can hardly believe it! 

And with it, comes the final TBR of the year! 

No xmas books this month, but I do have a few books that I desperately want to finish, so fingers crossed I can! 

I hope you enjoy the TBR, before a new year! 

1. The Missing Sister (The Seven Sisters #7), by Lucinda Riley 

I'm currently 300/800 pages into this, and I'm enjoying it. It's a different story compared to the previous six since those were all character focused, and on this one they're all working together to find something, but I'm liking it. I'm not sure where it'll lead, but it's not taking long to fall back into the story whenever I go to read more, which is a good sign. 

If you didn't know, The Missing Sister is about the six D' Apliése sisters pursuing a ring that will hopefully lead to the seven sister (from the seven star constellation that their names were formed from), but there are things they don't know about Pa Salt, what his relationship is with this missing sister, or why she's determined to stear well clear of it all. 

I'm excited to find out where it all leads, what this girl is hiding, and whether the sisters will catch up to her before their trip together, a year after Pa Salt's death. 

2. Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt (The Seven Sisters #8), by Lucinda Riley & Harry Whittaker

I've been reading these on and off since August, if you can believe it, and honestly, I've loved every single one of them. I'm sad that the series is coming to an end (to be fair, I'm glad it's all getting wrapped up to be honest) but I'm relieved I get to find out all the answers concerning Pa Salt and what it was he was doing all those years. 

I've thoroughly enjoyed these books, they've been a huge part of my life for a good portion of the year and I can't wait to see how it all wraps up. 

3. I Invited Her In, by Adele Parks 

I swear, this has been on so many of my TBR's this year, it's beyond a joke. But I really do need to get to it as it isn't mine, and I want to read it before the year's out. 

I Invited Her In is about Mel, a girl who, out of the blue, receives an email from her oldest friend Abi, telling her she's in trouble, and asking for a place to stay, while she sorts things out. Mel says yes of course, because, you know, it's the least she can do. After all, friends look out for eachother, don't they?

 

I honestly don't know anything else other than that, that's basically the gist of the blurb on the back. But I know it's good; because they made a film for it, and I've heard good things. I'm thinking they'll be some deceit and mystery, and I'm hoping I can be engrossed right from the start, the blurb is engaging enough. 

4. The Alfoxden and Grasmere Journals, by Dorothy Wordsworth

I didn't get to this last month, so it's being added on for my December TBR too. (I really do need to start finishing the books I plan to read, because I keep having to repeat what they're about.) 

From a glance through this, these are basically diary entries of her time in Alfoxden and Grasmere. There are ordinary days, days of leisure, of walks around the countryside, as well as usual cooking and cleaning. 

Let's just say I'm looking forward to finally picking it up. 

Okay! Those are all the books I'm hoping to pick up this month! As always, comment down below what you're hoping to read this month and we can chat about it! 

I hope you have a wonderday day and I'll see you all soon! 

Byeeeee!
