Happy New Year lovelies! 2018 seemed to go very fast for me, but I still managed to read a lot.  I am aiming to do similarly this year, but also to try and buy fewer books.  I don’t have a lot of confidence on that last part 😉 So to finish up by 2018 round up, here are the books I got in December: The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor The Help by Kathryn Stockett Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch This Splintered Silence by Kayla Olson Honor Among Thieves by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre Skyward by Brandon Sanderson The Dark…
