Bumper December Reading Wrap Up!!
Hello lovelies 🥰Welcome to my December reading wrap-up vlog ... and it's a big one! Check out what I read and what I thought of them.
December was a very relaxed month for us, with a lot of quiet days, so I managed to read way more than I normally would. It was a great month because I tried loads of different books; some I loved and others I hated.

Watch as we go through my bookshelves to find titles that match each letter in my name. This was such a fun way to plan my January reads. Comment below and share your January TB...

😂 This is the best thing Ive seen all day ❤😂
Wow look at how many books you read! Your reviews always make me laugh. I have heard such good things about the lost bookshop! I agree authors need to tell me how to pronounce the names because it really stresses me out. Red Queen has been on my TBR forever! I hate having to DNF a book. Hook needs to see a dr hahahaha Shoulder Blades are quite scandalous! 12 Books in one month is very impressive! I cant wait to see what you are reading in Jan xx
I didn’t expect a review! Thank you.
I know you didn't, but i wouldn't leave you out! Your writing is fab, and I really enjoyed my time with your characters.
Hi Stacey, good to see you back. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wishing you a happy new year and all the best for 2025. Was interesting to see what you have been reading. Dave got Bram Stoker's Dracula for Christmas. He's almost half way through. He said it's hard going but hes determined to finish it. Have a lovely week. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dawn. Happy New Year to you both. We had a lovely, quiet Christmas thank you 😊 hope yours was lovely too. Ooh I've never read that one, but I can imagine it would be tough! Thanks for watching, appreciate your support xxx
Have you read any of these books? I'd love to know your thoughts. Don't forget to join my book club!! - fable.co/club/bookish-adventures-with-staceys-bookish-adventures-223313373862?club_type=free
Have you read any of these books? Let me know what you think of them xx
I am readinh the cort of thorns and roses and im rlly enjoying it❤☺️
That's good to know. Lots of people have recommended it to me so I've got high hopes for it. Glad you are enjoying it 😊
Aberaeron is our favourite place, we will drive from Pembroke just for an ice cream. (the building work is a new sea defence wall) There's a waterfall on Freshwater East beach if you ever want to go hunting
Hi Chris. Yes, we later found out about the sea defence. We did enjoy the ice cream! Aberaeron is lovely indeed, and we are definitely planning to go back on a better day. Ooh I did want to go looking for that waterfall, but we just didn't have the chance. Hopefully we can go back for a few days and explore it properly. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
I’ve had many a holiday in Paignton my nans brother use to live there with his family.one of my mums cousins still lives in Paignton Devon is nice
Hi Wendy. Oh that's lovely. I'd really like to go back to that area. We never got to actually explore Paignton during our visit, only the zoo. Devon is such a beautiful area.
Hi, is the swimming pool and sauna free to use?
Hiya 👋 it was included in our stay. We booked the dinner, bed, and breakfast package. I'm unsure if it's included in all the stays, but I would imagine it is.
@ nice one cheers
I love this tbr I had to really think what TBR meant?! 🤣🤣 Such a good idea, Iam too controlling with what I read at the moment so not sure I’d be brave enough! 😍🤣 Some of them sound pretty interesting thought. I am trying to find Hey Zoe without purchasing it or on audio!! If needs be I will buy it. Sounds really interesting!
@thehighlandlife2023 oh sorry! Yeah tbr is to be read. I won't be using the book lingo in my videos other than tbr and dnf (did not finish). It was really fun to do this actually. I was way too stuck in my ways with reading and this is a fun way to try new things. I think Circe and Everless are the ones that I'm really looking forward to. Oh I hope you can find it. Have you tried borrowbox or libby? Failing that, there is someone selling it on vinted for £5. But I really wouldn't want you to pay because it might be rubbish 🙈
My wife and i stayed there on our first wedding anniversary in 2012! What a fantastic place 👍👍👍
@paulshorney3465 oh that's so lovely. We did really enjoy our stay there. We'd definitely return. Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful weekend 😀
@@thereesfamilyadventures👍👍
Just hopping on to say hi and Merry Christmas to you and your family. LIKE 5👍👍👍
Yay, Hey Zoey was my suggestion 🤗 I've almost finished the book I'm reading right now so I thnk I will make a start on Hey Zoey next. It takes me a little while to get through a book so it'll be good to have a head start 😅
Yes it was! I was really intrigued by that book so I was so happy when it won the vote. Hopefully it will be a good one for discussion 🙏 thank you for joining me on Fable too. Really appreciate it.
@thereesfamilyadventures you're so welcome. Fable looks really good. I'd not heard of it until you mentioned it. Let's hope we enjoy Hey Zoey 🤞🙂
@tinahaydon5790 it's great isn't it? I'm really enjoying it on there. It's dangerous looking at everyone's tbr lists though, I've added way too many to mine haha
@@thereesfamilyadventures 😂
I love watching a TBR video! Using your name is such a good idea. Hey Zoe sounds interesting I read one that sounds similar. Its one of my biggest pet peeves when I cant pronounce a name because I then spend ages trying to figure it out. Oooooh welcome to the world of ACOTAR I think her name is pronounced Fay Rah but who knows. Etiquette and Espionage is such a good title. Everless sounds really good though! I think that was a good choice. I think this is a really fun way to pick your books! x
Thanks Emma. I thought seeing as my name is a decent length, it would be fun to do the TBR that way. I'm really hoping Hey, Zoey will be good. I'll be so sad if it's rubbish. Haha I'm useless with the names of things. I think we should start a petition to have simple names like Barry and Brenda etc. I'm really excited for Everless. ACOTAR not so much...just because I always avoid things that are popular! Hopefully I'll enjoy them. Thank you for watching lovely xx
Hi Stacey, what a great idea using the letters of your name to choose your books. Hope you enjoy reading them all. Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi both. Thank you for watching. Really appreciate it 🙏 it was quite a fun video to make actually. I hope the books are good. I'll be gutted if they are rubbish haha. Merry Christmas both xxx

I will join this in the new year. But Iam constantly chasing my tail with storage on my phone so can’t add a new app on my phone at the moment!? 🤣🤦♀️
@thehighlandlife2023 you should be able to do it on desktop too I think 🤔 but of course you don't have to at all xx
Hiya 👋 I have since learnt that the author of The Killer's Christmas List has indeed written other books(I told you I wasn't an expert 🙈) so I'll definitely be looking to pick up the others that he's written at some point xx
Hope your all having a lovely week, I did watch this the other day & was sure I left a comment but cant see it now 🫢🤔 Farting on command is quite the Skill 😂 our wardrobes are Crazy packed with stuff we don’t wear but I think its all thats keeping them up so we don’t take anything out in case they fall down 🙄 The Garden centre looked very festive 🎅 shame the Book town didn’t live up to your expectations 😬 Enjoy the rest of the week ❤🫶xx
Morning Paul. Yeah Florrie is pretty talented I've got to say 😂 the wardrobe situation is doing my head in but I know that if I start pulling it all out then I'm going to have a breakdown! That garden centre is incredible. I love it there. Thank you for watching. Hope all is well with you xx
I have seen the mystery books on tik tok and wanted to get one. I think you should start selling them! Your Journal is looking great! It looks like a beautiful garden centre. xx
The mystery books are just so exciting! I definitely want to sell them, I just don't have a clue how to go about sourcing everything. I'm looking into it though. Awh thank you 😊 it's turned out so much better than I thought it would. I honestly love that garden centre. Garden centres are becoming some of my favourite places to visit at Christmas time!xx
Such a fun time. Love that you have a little helper. LIKE 9👍👍👍
Hi Stacey hope the family and your self are well and ready for Christmas 🎄😊🙏🏼 Loved your garden Center Christmas visit we do the same the nearest thing you can to a grotto now 😢 Shame hay was underwhelming xmas wise Have a good festive season 🎄 glad the storm as bad as it was didn’t effect you guys 🎄🙏🏼 Simon 👍🤠
Hi Simon. How are you keeping? Hope all is well with you and the family 🥰 Yes I honestly love that garden centre. The effort they go to with their decorating is amazing! I don't know why, but i was expecting Hay to be beautifully dressed for Christmas. I still loved looking around at all of the book shops though. Was the storm bad for you?
@ the storm was strong but In Worcestershire we are surrounded by low hills so they thankfully took the brunt of it it’s the flooding that is the main issue in low laying areas as All the rain that fall on the Welsh hills finds its way into the Severn or the Wye rivers! Glad you guys survived ok 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey 👋🏾 xx
Hi beautiful 😍
The mystery books package is such a lovely idea 😍 So cute! The books you guys from them sound interested! I never went to Hay on Wye when I lived in Herefordshire as I wasn’t into reading then but wish I had! Now Iam too far away 🤣🤣 I had a look for that Hey Zoe book on my library app but they don’t have it so Iam just gonna buy it beginning of Jan so I might be a bit late to start. I can’t get on with audiobooks tbh. That garden centre Christmas extravaganza was awesome! Some garden centres really do go all out don’t they! Your reading journey is such a lovely idea. I love the idea but know I’d never stick to filling it in or anything, I’d get not even half way into making it 🤣🤦♀️ But I do like the idea of a book tally, so I am going to keep a tally of how many books I read so I can see at the end of 2025 how many books I read for the year. Loved catching up with this weeks vlog.xxx
Thank you so much for watching another of my videos 🥰 yeah i love the mystery book idea. Makes such wonderful gifts. Oh gosh, don't worry about being late joining in. That's why I've chosen not to do lives for the book club. It means people can start whenever they want or are able too. The garden centre is incredible. I absolutely love it there. Just wish it wasn't so far away from me. Hay is lovely, just gutted it didn't have any Christmas vibes there. Haha honestly that's what I'm usually like with journals! I've got so many here that I've started and then completely forgot about their existence. But I think that because this is more of a cosy hobby, I might actually keep up with it 🤞xx
Hi to you all, the boxes sound like a great idea. You always find lovely activities to do. Working in a book shop would be so good. The storm wasn't too bad here but we had rain all weekend and it was windy. Hopeful the weather will be better this week. Thank you for sharing. We are counting the days down to Christmas now. Hope you all have a wonderful week. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Morning both. Thank you for watching another of my videos. Yeah I'm looking forward to doing the boxes. Always got to try and find things to do with the kids that will keep them interested. The book shop is the dream. Hopefully we'll get there one day 🙏 glad the storm wasn't too bad for you. It was pretty rough down here, scary at times. Hope you have a lovely week xx
I love that you are starting on books! Though to hear 'swashbuckling' alongside Bridgerton and Peaky Blinders is wild 😊I have a kindle/iPad but there's something so satisfying about having a physical book so seeing your bookshelf makes me to happy. Even looking at the Cabin in the Woods I got a totally different vibe to what it was actually about. Body on the Beach & The Killers Christmas List seem more my jam. Looking forward to seeing more recs xx
Well, I've always read. Every single night. Even when I'm away, I'll be reading in the hotel room. So it makes sense to add it to my socials, especially as we aren't going out much throughout winter. I was reading on my phone for years because we didn't have anywhere for bookshelves until now. I do prefer physical books because I tend to forget that ebooks exist 🤣 Yeah the lady Scoundrels book was wild. Like the author threw all of the ideas in there...there was even some cheeky finger blasting too! I felt really cheated by the cabin in the woods 🙈 I really enjoyed the Killer's Christmas List. I'm currently reading The Christmas Killer and I'm enjoying that one too so far. Thank you so much for watching xxx
I loved hearing your thoughts on these books. Your reviews were very funny. Xx
Thank you 😊 have you read any of the ones that I mentioned? I'm not sure if I'm going to be "too much" for booktube 🙈
@@thereesfamilyadventures I havent but I dont really read detectivey thriller books. You are definitely not too much for Booktube haha xx

Thank you 😊 I'm happy to finally be here 🥰
Love your Welsh humour and Stacey quirks to this book review and over view of the month. Iv not read any of those books myself so good to hear your opinion. I can’t do romance novels, it’s all my mum would ever read and still does! Another cracking video xxx
Morning Faye. Hope the storm hasn't been too bad for you! So glad you enjoyed this one. Were there any books in this video that you think you'd want to read? No I'm not a romance girlie at all, but I am intrigued to see if I can find a romance book that I actually enjoy. I'm dying to break into other genres. Thank you for watching this video. I really appreciate your support xxx
@@thereesfamilyadventuresThe close sounded potential and the last house on the cliff…. Iam curious with that one from your review…. I wanna know why Laurie’s reaction was odd?! Iam curious now from what you said! Xxx
@thehighlandlife2023 haha honestly, you'll want to slap her! I can't believe that anyone would actually react like she did
Hi Stacey, you certainly got through a lot of books. Interesting to hear all about them. Looks so cosy by your tree. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Morning both. Hope you are both OK and the storm hasn't bothered you too much. It's the first time I'd ever tracked my reading, so it was interesting to see what I'd actually read. Yeah it's lovely in that little corner 😍 thank you for watching. I appreciate the support 🙏 have a great weekend xx
I forgot what a a good zoo it is ....im going to have to go now! 👍👍
We did enjoy it here. Better than we thought it would be. Thank you for watching. Have a great weekend 😀
