December 2017 Wrap-Up: A Tale of Two Cities, Christmas, and Nimona

2nd February 2018 By Julianne Leave a Comment

Books mentioned:

A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (via CraftLit)

Several years after DNFing A Tale of Two Cities and falling out of love with podcasts, I rediscovered the love and finished the book! And oh, what love! Such drama. Such silliness. And Madame Defarge.

Christmas at Thompson Hall and Other Christmas Stories, by Anthony Trollope

I started this last Christmas and was excited to finish it, but it was a bit of a disappointment. A shame as it’s such a gorgeous mini hardback!

Nimona, by Noelle Stevenson

The hype is real and well-deserved! Nimona was a delightful story of a villain who finds himself with a new, absurdly powerful sidekick.
