 Hello, hello everyone. My name is Laura and this is my channel Laura's Little Library and today's video is going to be my December TVR Started I will mention that my current read is deal with the devil by Kit Rocker. I am over halfway through I'm listening to the audiobook, but I'm gonna try and Follow along physically because I've just had such a struggle paying attention to the audiobook But that's because I have been listening to it at times where I can't concentrate It seems really good. I Have thoughts about it, but those will be in my reviews on Goodreads and at the end of November in my wrap-up So like stay tuned for that, but this is my current read and I hope to finish it Today would be nice, but tomorrow is more likely So this December I will most likely be participating in two readathons So my December TVR is going to be a mixture of the two readathons I am gonna try not to join any more readathons Just because one of them is a month long and the other is a week long so they do already overlap and I December much like October is a month where there are so many different readathons, and they're also fun and wonderful But I just can't do Too many of them so I'm going to go through both readathons and go through the prompts and My answers and that will kind of make up my December TVR. I don't plan on reading any books outside of the readathons for December because Both readathons have enough prompts. I don't think I could read any more of them even if I wanted to But I will also note to hear that I do have a winter TVR And that will be going up later in December when it's more closer to actually the winter solstice when it's actually officially winter and Those books I won't have a lot of overlap But that's because those are books that I'm reading during the season of winter So not just December, but January and February as well So keep an eye out for that video and the best way to do that is by Subscribing and clicking the bell so that you're notified, but that will be a video with different books on that TVR So the first readathon that I'll be participating in is the month-long one And that is the reindeer readathon and this is hosted by break even books And I'm not on the right page of my bullet journal The way this readathon works is that everyone is split up into teams and then each prompt is worth a certain amount of points I have been assigned to teams snowflake. I love it. I'm so excited And but the prompts are the same for everyone You have your set number of prompts and then you have three bonus prompts and then if you complete all the prompts Within the time then you may do one of the prompts again for extra points, but There are plenty of prompts so if I can get through all the prompts. I will be very proud So because it is the reindeer readathon all the prompts are named after the reindeer. So let's go Also another thing to note is that you can't use one book for multiple prompts So I do have a book for every prompt. All right, so the first one is dasher This is and it's to read a short story or novella. And so I decided to go with down among It is down among down among the six and buzz by Shona McGuire This is the second children in the wayward children series and I recently got this and I am really excited to read it So the next up we have dancer and this is to read a book by a favorite author And I'm gonna go with unravel the dusk by Elizabeth limb I am a big fan of Elizabeth limbs writing and I have the first one spin the dawn For some strange reason. I haven't read the second one. It's so stupid, but I do have the audiobook for us I'll be listening to it But hopefully I will be buying it shortly prompt number three is prancer and this is to read a book with travel And so I'm going with one by one by Ruth where? so this book is a Is a horror book actually is a thriller book and these bunch of co-workers travel to a cabin and then one by one they are murdered so It's a little bit of travel, but it's very wintry themed I was gonna read this in October and then I decided Let's save it for winter kind of break up the winter he reads while keeping still a winter setting so Then we have vixen what is a book recently caught your eye and I'm gonna go with the other side of perfect and this is by Marie go Turk and This book was just sent to me by a friend of mine Literally a couple days ago, and it is definitely caught my eye This is a dance ballet themed book and a lot of these books have like blue kind of gray blue covers And so it really fits in with that because I don't know. I think blue is just definitely a is the winter color So a lot of these books will have blue covers Moving on we have Comet and that is a five-star prediction. And so for that one. I have chosen spy X family volume four by Tatsuya and them and I Chose this because I love this manga, and I don't see myself I don't know if I can give any of these books less than a five-star unless it's like absolutely atrocious So I'm gonna keep going with this manga next up We have Cupid and that is to read a new author and so here's a book that does not have a blue cover Has an orange-ish cover and that is Hunt of the Gremal kid This is by Danny Swanson. I actually have the pleasure of meeting the author at the Twin Cities Comic Con And I am so excited to read this and it's nice and short, which is great for read-a-thons such as this one so and I mean she's got flames coming out of her hands, which is like it reminds me of a fireplace and makes Me think of warmth, which is what we need in the winter so This is gonna be my Cupid and then we have Donner and that is to read a book with a red or green cover And for that one, I am choosing In a Holidays by Christina Lauren. I have never read a Christina Lauren book This book was so popular Last year, I believe it was a book of the month book and everyone was loving it because everyone was reading a bunch of Christina Lauren and last year I just was not in the mood to read a Groundhog's Day type book But I think this year I'm gonna try and read as many like Christmas set books like actually in the holiday taking place during winter So I decided to give this one a try and this one I also have as an audiobook Then the next one is a fun one because for Blitzen It was have three books and have someone else choose it for you Whether it was put it up on your Instagram or Twitter or ask someone or do a pet thing and put treats on it and see Which one your pet picks, you know, whatever So I put polls up on my Twitter and Instagram and if you're not following me on social media My links are down below so you can follow those on all of the fun things fun bookish things that I post there and I the three books that I posted for people to choose was window shopping Happily ever actors and the 12 dates of Christmas I am interested in reading all three of them So none of them would have been a disappointment and it was really close like Like they were all within a few votes of each other But the one that did win out is the 12 dates of Christmas So I will be reading the 12 dates of Christmas I will have to see if I'm going to buy the physical copy or try and get it as an audiobook But I'm excited to read it. I think I would love to also read the other two books I've heard so many good things about the other two books and they caught my eye So I will for this readathon be reading the 12 dates of Christmas But that's not to say I didn't want to read the other books and then the last Prompt yes, and then the last prompt is Rudolph and that is to read a standalone and for this one I've chosen royal holiday by Jasmine Gullery Gullery Mm-hmm, and this is about a woman who goes to England with her daughter on a work trip and Ends up falling for I assume a royal or someone close to the royal family So again, you got the blue cover romance Christmas holidays So I will be reading all of these plus a few more for this readathon And since I planned this read-a-thon first those are all the books I'm gonna read and then this next read-a-thon I did my best to Incorporate as many of these books into that TBR because that one is only a week And it would just be a lot easier if I did the same books But for different read-a-thons, but what's fun about this second one that I'm doing which I should probably just tell you is the follow a lot on and And this one is partially reading but also has a little bit of just winter activities in general So that'll be a nice way to kind of change it up a little bit for me without adding too many more books onto my TBR I also did purchase a book work from the reindeer read-a-thon And so I'm really excited to use that As I'm going through my books because I am going to read one at a time. I'm not gonna do multiple at once So I can use the reindeer bookmark throughout the entire thing and I don't know why that makes me so happy, but it really does So now moving on to the follow a lot on follow a lot on I Can say it I promise the first prompt is to light a candle and read a book with blue on the cover and as we Saw and had been talking about majority of these books have blue on the cover, but Officially, I'm gonna choose royal holiday because it is the most holiday themed book with blue. It's almost like a blue-purple, but Yeah, I'm choosing this one And then the second prompt is to watch a movie and for this one. I'll probably watch the princess switch three with Vanessa Hudgens I Watched the first two. I'm not completely sure why I think I just like Vanessa Hudgens But it's really the only Christmas movie that has been advertised that is new this year that I've actually been like Yeah, I'll probably end up watching that. So that'll be the movie I watch for it Oh, and the nice thing about the follow a lot on is that you can overlapped Books and prompts so for the next one is to read a book with the holidays in them Um So I'm gonna read the royal holiday for that one is literally in the title So if there isn't winter holidays in here, I will be upset Then the next one is Secret Santa that is a book chosen for me And so that's gonna be the 12 days of Christmas because it's a book that other people chose for me to read for the reindeer Readathon for the prompt to read a gifted book I will be reading the other side perfect as it was recently gifted to me and has a blue cover So the next prompt is to take a picture of your book with Christmas decor or holiday decor I celebrate Christmas. So that's my natural inclination, but I do recognize that there are other holidays around this time. So It's it's to take a picture with whatever holiday decor And if you don't celebrate Christmas or any of the holidays around this time I'm sure you can find like a Christmas tree outside and put your book next to it and take a picture Moving on the next prompt is your newest book on your TBR. And if it's easier, it's the newest book on your physical TBR So that's what I'm choosing Which again is the other side of perfect as it is the most recently acquired book I have and therefore most recently added to my physical TBR The next prompt is an action is an action prompt and that is to do a random act of kindness And so I so I've been thinking in planning how I'm gonna do that But I am not gonna share the details because that is not something that I think should be publicized I think that random acts of kindness should be just small little things that you don't do for attention. So I'll do it but and then the last prompt for the follow a lot on is read an own voice book with diverse rep and Again, I will be reading the other side of perfect. Our main character is Japanese American as is our author and so Own voices diversity rep right here So that's kind of fun because that means I will have three books to read over that specific week Which by the way is the 12th to the 19th. I never said that. I'm sorry So it's these two and then listening to or reading the 12 dates of Christmas It's everything. It's just blue. I'm even wearing a blue sweater It looks really dark in the video But I am wearing a blue sweater because so much of this is blue and just winter December just seems blue So there you have it Those are all the books that I am going to try and read this December and for both of these readathons Let me know what you plan on reading this December and if you're doing any readathons And if there are any I need to check out even though I said I'm not gonna do another one We'll see because I will be going home halfway through December I'm gonna try and pre-film all of my videos so that we don't have to deal with no nice background or lighting issues and things like that. So I will try and pre-film, but I will be going home So that'll make it easier to read. Also, let me know if you want me to vlog anything I would definitely be willing to do reading vlogs either just for the month of December for the reindeer readathon or even just logging the week of the follow-all-off on Just having like a full week of being pure Christmas perfection. I will do my best But yeah, so comment down below what you're reading if you're interested in vlogs Yeah, otherwise as I said earlier click subscribe and hit the bell to be notified I post on Sundays and Wednesdays now. I did change my uploading schedule. It just fits better with my work schedule And oh my goodness, it gets so dark. It's so hard because I come home from work and I immediately start to film but it's already getting dark outside, but so that's why the ring light in my glasses is Visible. Otherwise if you like this video give it a thumbs up and until I see you all in the next one I wish you happy reading You
