MONTH IN REVIEW: December 2024

By Denise @ Life With No Plot on January 1, 2025 • ( 0 )

Wow, so I disappeared during the month of December. The holidays are already a pretty stressful time of the year, but we also had a key person at my job walk out with no notice right before Christmas, so that did not help. We were all running around like crazy people and, while I managed to sneak in quite a bit of reading, it didn’t leave much time for anything else. Not when I was going straight to bed after work. Here’s how December worked out.

December Reads

Your Blood, My Bones by Kelly Andrew
Jane Anonymous by Laurie Faria Stolarz
The Xibalba Murders by Lyn Hamilton
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Zeus is a Dick by Susie Donkin
Looking for Alaska by John Green
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
The Christmas Pearl by Dorthea Benton Frank

For how busy this month was, I am very happy to have gotten through nine books! It’s a weird mismash of stuff, since I was originally trying to read for the Reindeer Readathon (that didn’t happen), plus finish my A-to-Z challenge, plus read my book club pick this month.

I managed to read almost every day. Pretty proud of that.

Challenge Updates

I’m actually going to skip this part, since I will be doing a full 2024 challenge review tomorrow. Suffice it to say that some challenges I completed, some I did really well, and some were laughable. More on that later.

Blog Updates

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!

Things had been going really well for a while, but then . . . The good news is that I do have a system that works now – I’ve proven that – and I can get back on that now that I’m not working quite so much.

So yeah, for December, I wrote three posts: my month in review for November, a Tuesday Teaser & Top Ten post, and a WWW Wednesday. This means that I’m a bit behind on reviews, but I know how to catch up. It will be fine. Mostly.
