December TBR
November was a fairly hefty month of reading for both of us. Somehow, we both managed to get through our TBRs! This month, we're making a last push to hit our yearly reading goals.
Pete's November Wrap-up
I had a great month of reading—though I didn't love everything, these were several books that have been on my list for a while.
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green — 4.5 out of 5 stars
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen — Review to come
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson — Review to come
Paradise by Toni Morrison — Review to come
Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson — Review to come
Lots of reviews to write, clearly—but at least I read a ton!
Pete's December TBR
To wrap up 2018, I'm reading a mixed bunch of books. The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran has been on my TBR for longer than just about anything, but its day has come. In preparation for the upcoming Peter Jackson film, I'm reading Mortal Engines for what I believe is the 5th time. I think I'll enjoy it. At Indiana's recommendation, I'm reading Less by Sean Greer, which I'm very much looking forward to. Indiana and I are reading There but for the by Ali smith, which we'll no doubt enjoy. And to close off the year, I'm reading Brandon Sanderson's Shadows of Self, which should be a fun adventure with familiar characters.

Impostors by Scott Westerfeld — Review to come
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott — Review to come
Every Day by David Levithan — 2.5 out of 5 stars
I've yet to finish Shirley by Charlotte Bronte. I'm a big fan of Bronte, but I'm just not clicking with this work.
Indiana's December TBR
Heading into the holidays, I hope to read quite a few books, including The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, If I Stay by Gayle Forman, This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Phillips, Almost Everything: Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott, A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi, and A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos. Pete and I also plan to read There but for the by Ali Smith. Oh, and I'm still working through The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's going to be a busy month!
