Favorite reads of December ❄️
Out of 30+ read during the month! It was a busy, weird month but I got a bit of reading done (I usually read 45+ a month tho so I did read less than usual 🥲)
December was an intense reading month despite the many distractions, and I managed to dive into a fascinating mix of over 30 books. Normally, I aim for more than 45 reads each month, so this was a bit lighter but no less rewarding. Among the standout reads were some captivating graphic novels like "The New 52!" and "V for Vendetta," which blend extraordinary visuals with gripping narratives. I also enjoyed poetry collections by acclaimed poets such as Joy Harjo, the U.S. Poet Laureate, whose words delivered a powerful emotional impact. Exploring "Palestinian Poetry" broadened my perspective, offering profound cultural insights through moving verses. Books like "More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop" and "Girl Warrior on Coming of Age" provided heartfelt storytelling that stayed with me long after finishing. Themes of identity, growth, and resilience surfaced often, making each read deeply reflective. What made this December reading list special was the diversity of voices and genres—comic books, poetry, literary fiction, and memoirs—all contributing something unique. This variety kept my reading experience fresh and invigorating, even during a busy and somewhat chaotic month. For anyone looking to enrich their winter reading list, consider mixing genres as I did. Don’t hesitate to delve into poetry or graphic novels if you usually stick to one category, as they can offer compelling narratives and artistic flair that complement traditional books beautifully. Happy reading!
