Seems like a fun idea, no? But it&#8217;s also a way I can keep myself on track. Especially as I work on my New Year&#8217;s Resolutions, which one of them is to stay more organized! So let&#8217;s see&#8230;.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;color:#339966;"><strong>Books Read</strong></span></h3>
<p>I definitely didn&#8217;t finish as many books as I wanted to, so a few will end up on my &#8220;To Be Read&#8221; list next month. But here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve finished for December:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://lafoiaveugle.wordpress.com/2015/12/20/book-review-attachments-2/" target="_blank"><em>Attachments</em> </a>by Rainbow Rowell</li>
<li><em>The Night Before Christmas</em> by Scarlett Bailey 3/5 Moose (I can&#8217;t bring myself to review this chick-lit book.)</li>
<li><em>Santa Maybe</em> by Scarlett Bailey 3/5 Moose</li>
<li><em>Married by Christmas</em> by Scarlett Bailey &#8211; DNF My first DNF. That&#8217;s sad.</li>
<li><a href="https://lafoiaveugle.wordpress.com/2015/12/31/book-review-secondhand-souls/" target="_blank">Secondhand Souls</a> by Christopher Moore 3/5 Moose</li>
<li><em>Daughter of Deep Silence</em> by Carrie Ryan 4/5 Moose (Review will probably come out tomorrow.)</li>
<li><em>5th Wave</em> by Rick Yancey (about 17% in the book and LOVING IT. I hope it stays this good.)</li>
</ul>

<ul>

</ul>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;color:#339966;"><strong>Words Written</strong></span></h3>
<p>I wrote two starter ideas, and then restarted sketching my main book idea. This is here because a NY Resolution is to write more obviously.</p>
