December TBR
Hopefully this month is more successful than last month. I have a feeling I will need to add a few more rom-coms to this list to help balance it out but I’m very excited to dive in.
Happy December Reading Spartans! And as always I will be updating as I work my way through the list in the Instagram page @barnes.and.books
November Reads Wrap UP
I was in a total reading slump this month! I can partly blame life just being busy, but I’m mostly going to blame The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue putting me in a book hangover that has taken a month to shake. Moral of the story is that I didn’t read much but here is what I did get to.
Stay tuned for my December TBR!
The Book Was Better

But of course the books were better!

Book Feature: THE INVISBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE
This is a MUST read! It is for sure the best book that I have read this year and maybe the best book I have EVER read.
A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.
France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.
But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name. (Goodreads)
Surrey Teens Read Feature: OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS
It’s the last of the STR features for this year. Opposite of Always is a heartfelt and witty rom-com that will pull at your heartstrings and make you laugh until you cry. It is a realistic fiction with a time travel (but not in a sci-fi way) twist.
When Jack and Kate meet at a party, bonding until sunrise over their mutual love of Froot Loops and their favorite flicks, Jack knows he’s falling—hard. Soon she’s meeting his best friends, Jillian and Franny, and Kate wins them over as easily as she did Jack.
But then Kate dies. And their story should end there.
Yet Kate’s death sends Jack back to the beginning, the moment they first meet, and Kate’s there again. Healthy, happy, and charming as ever. Jack isn’t sure if he’s losing his mind.
Still, if he has a chance to prevent Kate’s death, he’ll take it. Even if that means believing in time travel. However, Jack will learn that his actions are not without consequences. And when one choice turns deadly for someone else close to him, he has to figure out what he’s willing to do to save the people he loves. (Goodreads)
This book is great but don’t take my word for it.
