December was swell. There was Christmas which is always a good time. Tom got me tickets to see Book of Mormon so A+ work there. (He also got me, or I guess us, a smart thermostat and I realize I am officially an adult because I'm legit excited by this.) We went to Hawaii and that was super fun. Personally, good month but still ready for this year to be over. So let's jump to the stats AND KNOW I'm gonna have just a BUNCH of infographics coming up. And perhaps I'll get around to writing some reviews again.

I had to double check this. Really. Wow. No fiction. I don't think that's ever happened before.

OK, technically one of the editors of Virgin Envy is a guy BUT the way my tracking is set up does not take into account multiple authors and it was two to one. So.

Only one, Moranifesto, cos she is a non-US lady.
Alright, January. Let's be better.
*Even if some personally awesome things happened, as Tom keeps reminding me. We saw Hamilton, went on some super fun vacations, Seton Hall won the Big East Tournament which means Tom has some fancy basketball bling.
Logging you in...

Should I read Moranifesto? Yes, no, maybe so? I still haven't finished How to Be a Woman and it's been like FOUR YEARS.

Did you ever read Moranthology? Cos it's like that, in that it's a collection of her essays, so I feel like it makes it easier to go through cos it's just short little essays. No pressure to get through a WHOLE CHAPTER. Most essays are like 2 1/2 pages so easy to read a few and jump in and out.

I read and enjoyed Moranifesto. Some essays were better than others, some topics I care more about than others.
I have a friend getting married next year and I'm thinking about getting Something New for her.

SOMETHING NEW for a bride is such a good idea and I am going to steal that idea cos I have a couple friends getting married and yes for book gifts. You're so smart.
