For the second month in a row, it was hectic. I was so in a mood reading mood that I didn’t even play with my game. The thing is that I wanted a great month of December and read a lot. However, it wasn’t like that, and it was worse with Christmas and the new year than I thought it would be reading-wise.
There are two books that I didn’t read this month which is Midnight in Everwoods by M.A. Kuzniar and Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, that I both started but didn’t finish. However, I won’t give myself a punishment for January as it’s a new year, and there are new rules for my game.Â
Statistics
I read a total of 2,265 pages in December, which means an average of 73 per day. It also means that I spent 22 hours of the month reading. As a result, this month’s average rating is 3.66 out of five stars, but there are three books which don’t have any rating.


Technically, I still have my bonus card: re-roll the dice, but we start on a blank slate as it’s a new year.
Here is the book I read during December with their prompts (if there is one). If you want to read a book’s review, you just need to click on the title.

I’m so happy to have read this book. I wanted to read it in 2022 but I couldn’t wait to do it, so here I am!! The only problem is that I now need to wait for reading the second book as the last one will be available at the end of the year.
