Wrapping Up December!

December has been and gone- meaning that my monthly wrap up is back. I don't really know what happened to 2015, it was gone in a flash and now, here we are in 2016. So here are all of the things in December, I hope you enjoy!


Books

-Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
4 Stars
-Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman
3 Stars
-Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
4 Stars
-Cross My Heart and Hope To Spy by Ally Carter
5 Stars

I enjoyed reading all of these books, but Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy just stole the show for me. I have reviews for all of these books except for that one, as I will be doing a series review very soon. I read Ugly Love extremely quickly and found it pretty addictive, Colleen Hoover's writing is absolutely on point- but it wasn't quite a 5 star book for me. Noughts and Crosses fell a little bit flat for me, I go into a lot of detail in my review but overall I just wasn't very impacted by this novel and found that it wasn't really my cup of tea. Twenty Boy Summer was very enjoyable but the characters lacked a bit of substance for me so it wasn't 5 stars to me. Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy completely addicted me and I am absolutely obsessed with the Gallagher Girl series, my only 5 star book of the month, this series is awesome.

Music

I was supposed to be seeing The Kooks in December, but sadly their show was postponed for January (which I am definitely looking forward to). Nonetheless, as always I listened to an awful lot of music and these are some of the songs I had on repeat..
M83- We Own the Sky
Sugababes- Freak Like Me (a bit of a throwback for me)
Panic! At The Disco- Death of a Bachelor
SHINee- Married to the Music
Coldplay- Adventure of a Lifetime
Stromae- Alors On Danse


Film

So its safe to say that my number one film of the month was Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which completely blew me away (I am dying to see it again). I've been waiting for this film for so very long, afraid that it was going to be a disappointment, but seriously- if you haven't seen it yet then go to the cinema right now! The other film I saw at the cinema this month was Sisters starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, which just really wasn't for me. The humour wasn't really my style and I thought it just completely lacked substance. I have reviews for both of these films on the blog so if you're interested then definitely check them out! (Apologies for the lengthy Star Wars review, I had a lot of feelings.)

I had such a good December, especially as I was doing Blogmas which was super fun and rewarding. It was also my birthday month and I had a great day eating pizza and chocolate with friends and family! Overall I would say December and 2015 in general, was a complete success! I hope you enjoyed this post and I will be back very soon with another post..
