Introducing December: the last month of 2013.

It is already December, which still amazes me. I know that it's a catchy thing to say, but I honestly feel as if 2013 flew by with the speed of a lightning bolt. It's so strange to think and somehow trying to realize that we will be in the year 2014 in less than a month. I do love the month of December, Sinterklaas (dutch holiday thing aka St. Nicolas), Christmas, NYE and all kinds of fancy dinner parties and food.
I still feel as if my holiday in Turkey happened only two months ago, while it's actually been five months. Where does the time go?
Anyway, 2013 was also a good year for reading and books and meeting new people and starting my own blog! It's been a good year so far and I still have a few good things coming up, but I also can't wait for the new year to start.
2014 will be my year of (hopefully) graduating high school (oh please let me pass my exams!), moving to a new city and studying English and turning 18!

As for my Goodreads challenge, I am now on 46 read books. My goal is to have read 50 books this year, which means I still have four more to go. But that won't be any problem since I'm currently reading both The Hobbit and An Abundance of Katherines.
So far, I am thoroughly enjoying both of them and even though I normally don't read two books at the same time, the two stories are completely different from oneanother and that makes it easier.
I am rereading The Hobbit and I'm currently at 247 pages and so I'll probably finish both books by the end of this week.


So after I've finished those two, I am planning on reading Rebels Angels, which is the second book in the A Great and Terrible Beauty series by Libba Bray, which are absolutely fantastic!
As for the fourth and final book of this year (I might read another one since I do have two weeks off around Christmas and NYE..) I'm planning on reading either The Circle by Sara Bergmark Elfgren & Mats Strandberg or Teardrop by Lauren Kate. I'm still doubting on Teardrop since I know that there are many people who didn't exactly like the book and it'd be dissapointing to end the year with a book I didn't particularily like.. But I might really enjoy it, as I'm also a big fan of the Fallen series, so we'll see.

So yes, December. Weird stuff. I'm decorating my room with a christmas tree, some sparkly lights and candles.. I have three more weeks of school to go and then I'll have a holiday of two weeks and I am so excited for everything Christmas and NYE! I know you all can relate, so I'll shut up now.

Enjoy the last month of December, enjoy Christmas and spend time with the ones you love..
Happy reading!
