Alice and the Giant Bookshelf | Brilliant Books and Big Disappointments: Wrapping up All the Books I Read in December 2023 #booktube @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Hi everyone,
Today I'm talking about all the books I read in December! I really liked a lot of the books I read, but I also found several books disappointing. I read 15 books. I'll also be talking about the final number of year for the Giant TBR - how many books will I start 2024 with?
I mentioned Remember December, which was hosted by @AnnNovella @bouquinsbooks @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 @MsReadsAlot @aaronfacer @CriminOllyBlog and @Shellyish
I'd love to hear from you, what did you enjoy reading in December? Have you read any of these?
Thanks for watching.
