children&#8217;s stories. I do seem to rate his Christmas themed ones higher, nevertheless, this was a good one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/17157814-the-wind-up-bird-chronicle\">The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami<\/a> &#8211; typical Murakami writing but a twist on the magical realism element. I liked it a lot, but at the same time&#8230; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m done processing it. One I&#8217;d definitely like to reread in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/27406704-britt-marie-was-here\">Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman<\/a> &#8211; I love Backman, his humor and all and this book was no exception. Britt-Marie is such a unique, strong female character so definitely one worth reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/39670900-wundersmith\">Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend<\/a> &#8211; Loved the first book, however, losing some interest in book 2 but I think I&#8217;ll keep reading the series regardless. If you&#8217;re looking for Harry Potter vibes, this is the series for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/40090596-art-matters\">Art Matters by Neil Gaiman<\/a> &#8211; Just trust me and read it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/41940475-the-test\">The Test by Sylvain Neuvel<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s weird but good weird if you know what I mean. If you like sci fi and are looking for a short read, check it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/49014496-tilly-and-the-lost-fairy-tales\">Tilly and the Lost Fairy Tales by Anna James<\/a> &#8211; bookwandering is a beautiful concept, yet this is another middle grade sequel that has disappointed me recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/52751527-a-tangle-of-spells\">A Tangle of Spells by Michelle Harrison<\/a> &#8211; Fliss, Betty and Charlie are off on another &#8220;little adventure&#8221; and may or may not stumble across some witches. It was a fun read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/54802466-crooked-kingdom\">Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo<\/a> &#8211; I liked this second Grishaverse series a lot, looking forward to watching the TV Show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/55924835-the-crown-of-gilded-bones\">The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout<\/a> &#8211; one of my most anticipated reads of the year ended up being a big flop. This was romance more so than fantasy and I missed the fantasy elements a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On that note, I&#8217;m considering making some changes to the blog and content and I&#8217;m interested in what you think about TBRs, book hauls and wrap ups.
