Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you are all having a good day today, and Happy New Year! For this, my first post of 2026, I am bringing you the usual monthly wrap up for December, but later in the month I will be sharing an all-encompassing 2025 Wrap Up that covers genres, favourite books etc. Check back later for that if you are interested.
December was a month that felt insanely busy and yet, I couldn’t tell you what I spent the month doing, it is all just a blur. Plus, I was sick for the whole month with different things. Hopefully January will be better.
From my December TBR:
- Murder at the Orpheus Theatre by Irina Shapiro – I did read this.
- Pages and Co: Tilly and the Lost Fairytales by Anna James – I did read this.
- The Dog Sitter Detective: Christmas Tails by Antony Johnston – I read this too.
- Miss Beeton’s Murder Agency by Josie Lloyd – I did start to read this but unfortunately, I ended up DNF’ing it quite early on. I did not enjoy the writing style of this book and I struggled to be able to tell which time period it was set in.
- Traitor’s Legacy by S J Parris – I did read this.
- Fearful by Lauren Roberts – I did read this.
- Death and the Harlot by Georgina Clarke – I did not read this.
- Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards – I did read this.
- A Quiet Life in the Country by T E Kinsey – I did read this.
So, from my TBR I read 7 books from my TBR, DNF’d 1 and I did not manage to read 1. Overall, that’s pretty good, even though I did not complete my TBR. Outside my TBR, I read The Austen Christmas Murders, The Mythmakers by Tamzin Merchant, Murder at Christmas, A Dangerous Train of Thought by Faith Martin and, I FINALLY read Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas.
That means, in December, I read a total of 12 books and I DNF’d 1.
What did you read in December? What did you think of the books you read?
