Thank you Alicia 🥰. I thought the activities was a fun way to change things up a little and I think they are going to add a nice balance to my month :)
This is so fun! Can't wait to see all your vlogs in December. I plan on reading One Day in December next month. I've read The Holiday Swap and 12 Dates of Christmas and liked them both!
I really hope to pick all of those, because I secretly want to read the falalala books most haha. I hope you enjoy One Day in December, I really like the premise of that one.
You’re so creative, Amy! I’m so impressed! I’m just crawling to the end of term!!! 😂 I love seeing your mum and both of you singing together, especially the Fa La Las!! 💜 Looking forward to seeing the Christmas wreath! 😊📚🎄
Yay! This is my very favorite TBR game you do. I loved your book choices, and it looks like no matter which ones gets picked, you will have fun reading. I can't wait to see your wreath too!
I love the 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar challenge! It has a special meaning for me because I found your channel during your first one. I look forward to seeing how this goes. I may go through just the first verse as prompts because December is hectic as it is without adding a bunch of reading expectations on top of it.
Thank you David! I have been surprised to find out that this challenge is how a lot of my subscribers have found my channel, pretty exciting that it has made that impact for people :). Yes, December is hectic! But I hope you have a wonderful month!
Woohoo, it's here! Love the changes and addition of the activities! White I won't be making a natural material, I will read Window Shopping and The Selection. Have fun with this year's TBR!
The Selection was good, though I'm not sure if I'll continue the series. Teen angst is not working for me right now I can only find Window Shopping on Audible. Still deciding if I want to spend a credit on it.
So excited you are doing this again! While playing my TBR game I pulled the prompt to do your viewer prompt, but I re-pulled since I had a feeling that wouldn't be happening this month. Can't wait for all the fun video's that you'll make!
You have no idea how happy I am that I came across this video! You just put me in such a Christmasy mood and I am loving it! And I love this challenge as well. What a creative and cute way to chose your tbr! Looking forward to your vlogs and in the meantime I will probably just check your old ones as I want to keep this Christmasy goodness going 🎄
Thank you Onka!! This is one of my favorite video series to make and I’m glad that it’s giving all the right Christmas vibes :). I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season so far. I’m hoping to have the first vlog out soon :)
I didn't know that about caroling. Love little history like that. Also love that you included activities. I got myself a mindfulness advant calendar to balance out the 24 days of bookmas I am doing.
Yes! I read a nonfiction book called The Battle for Christmas, which was fascinating. It was quite academic though, so not a super light read. Glad you’re going to spent the holidays being mindful :)
Yay! I've been waiting for this! Like that you put in a possible option to not read a book. For the viewer prompt I'm going to read Winterdream by Chantal Gadoury. (Another Nutcracker retelling) I have the beautiful Beacon Book Box edition with the sparkly cover under the dust jacket. And your hair is lovely!
I think you will love Well Met, so I hope you get that. Can't remember what day that was for! Hahaha dating 12 different guys in one month sounds stressful as!!!! Looking forward to seeing your wreath! :D
That one is for Day 2…we’ll just have to see 😊. Yes, that book sounds hugely stressful hahaha. Mom is going to read it, so even if I don’t get a chance to, I can get her thoughts on it lol.
ohhhh so fun!!! Stoked for the vlogs haaha. I have window shopping and that edition of the nutcracker on my TBR for december :) also makeup and hair looking paricularly lovely! hope your december reading goes well!
I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of Window Shopping…since it didn’t end up coming up for that first day of the advent haha. Maybe next year it’ll happen for me 😅. Thank you and I’m hoping your December goes well as well :)
@@astarreads4214 Thank you and you too!! I actually just recently finished it hahaha the cheese factor was super high (honestly what i expect from a holiday romance) and some of the lines were a bit odd but i had fun lol
I've been meaning to read more Jenny Colgan! I read a lovely romance trilogy by her a couple of years ago - the heroine was a baker on a little island in Cornwall!
I think you reviewed that series or at least part of it on your channel, right? I also want to read more Jenny Colgan. I’m glad this one is a standalone at least. I found a few other Christmas-y type books that I was interested in, just to find they were within a series.
@@astarreads4214 You could read Colgan's Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery as a standalone, in my opinion! I loved it so much I then went and read the rest of the series, but she does a great job catching you up with the characters, I think.
This looks like such a fun challenge! It's good that there are activity prompts as well! XD I probably would have failed already because there's no way I could read 12 books. *lol* Also loved to see your mum in the video! She's really such a cool and lovely person! =) I heard so many things about "Midnight in Everwood" and I'm curious what you'll say about it. Great video! Loved it! 💜
Thank you 😊 Well, the way this month is going so far, I might be working on this still in January hahaha. My mom is very fun, I’ll let her know your kind comments :)
So excited for this! One of the knitting groups I belong to is reading The Selection in December and I was planning on joining them, but I don't think I will have time. We'll see. I have been meaning to read Storm Front myself. Have you seen the TV show? Looking forward to your vlogs and seeing you and your Mom open your pin advents ^-^
Eeee! Thank you Di :). I’m super excited too. I haven’t seen the tv show for the Dresden Files, is it pretty good? Sadly, we were not able to do pins this year (for budget reasons 😩) but we have a different little twist for our personal advent calendars and I’m excited about it :)
@@astarreads4214 I enjoyed The Dresden Files TV show but I've heard a lot of people don't care for it. Oooh new twist on the advents! Looking forward to your personal advents even more ^-^

I love this challenge! & can’t wait to watch again this year!
Thank you Bailey. It’s so much fun to do!
Yay! Love this, all of this!
🎄🎼🎁☃
Thank you LeeAnna 🥰😍
Ahhhhh! I will never get tired of this! And I think you will love the Selection series (if/when you read it). I did ❤
I think it will be a fun read :). I will be getting through more of my physical TBR next year, so hopefully I get to it then.
This is going to be a fun adventure challenge. I love the addition of the activities. Also you look gorgeous all Christmased up!! 🎄
Thank you Alicia 🥰. I thought the activities was a fun way to change things up a little and I think they are going to add a nice balance to my month :)
You and your mom look like you have so much fun together. This was wonderful!!!🎄📚❤
We do tend to get pretty silly and this is such a fun way for us to enjoy the holidays :). I’m glad you enjoyed it!
AMY I AM SO EXCITED!! I sent this video to my mom too because last year we loved watching the vlogs!
Awww you are way too sweet!! I’m glad you’re mom is joining in on the fun as well.
I love you doing this challenge!! I am so excited to see how December goes for you!
I am hoping it’s going to be fantastic! Especially now that school is almost done. Half a project left!
I love the addition of activities! Have fun with all the days of Christmas Carols!
Thank you Naomi! I thought it was pretty awesome that my first day ended up being one of the activities.
I love this idea, so creative. 🌲🎄🌲
Thank you Ziggy!!

Thank you Nikki!!! We love singing and Deck the Halls is such a fun one to sing haha.
Yay! This is my very favorite TBR game you do. I loved your book choices, and it looks like no matter which ones gets picked, you will have fun reading.
I can't wait to see your wreath too!
I feel like this is my best TBR for this challenge yet and I’m so excited to see what ends up being picked.

Yay!!! Thank you Magda :). I’m excited to hear how those books go for you.
The Selection was good, though I'm not sure if I'll continue the series. Teen angst is not working for me right now
I can only find Window Shopping on Audible. Still deciding if I want to spend a credit on it.
This is such a cute idea!! I had no idea the nutcracker is a book!
There are a few classic nutcracker stories actually, I need to go back and see which one came first, because I don’t think it was the Dumas.
Your video gave me all the festive feels
Thank you Precious! Is that a collection of children’s Christmas stories?
@@astarreads4214 Yes, it's absolutely delightful. Highly recommend. Happy holidays!!
Oh, this sounds fun! Good luck!
Thank you :)
Fire pit sounds cozy!
Ezzy volunteers for you to read him a Christmas story out loud😊🥰
@@theresahauser8758 OH!!!! I would love that :D Yes :D :D :D Done!
Ahh my favorite time. Good luck with your tbr!!
Thank you KL :D
Yay....Love the advent calendar challenge!! The addition of the fun activities was a great idea. (Also...your hair looks really nice in the video)
Thank you Stacey :D I am really excited about these activities, so I'm glad we at least got one of them so far.
So excited you are doing this again! While playing my TBR game I pulled the prompt to do your viewer prompt, but I re-pulled since I had a feeling that wouldn't be happening this month. Can't wait for all the fun video's that you'll make!

This was fun to watch

I love this so much 😍😍😍
Thank you Paige :D I am so freaking excited!!!!
I love Emma, it's become my favorite Jane Austen book, so if you get it I hope you at least like it!
I hope so too. I need to change my perspective on Emma (the character) and enjoy the book for what it is meant to bring.
You look so beautiful in this video! You look beautiful in every video, but a gorgeous queen here! 💕💕
Omg hi mom! gorgeous queen too! 💕
Yaaaas!! We love a gorgeous queen, even better when there are two! Thank you Kayla 🥹
