Literature: December Books

Instead of writing individual reviews for all the books I have read, I am just going to condense them into what I have read each month.

So here we go for December.  After reading 13 books in the previous two months, I only read six in the month of December. I was disappointed at this amount, but I was back to work after being sick so didn’t have as much time on my hands.

Again these books vary across genres including:
  • Short Story
  • Children’s
  • Crime
  • Christian

So the 6 books I read in December 2018 were:

  1. It Never Leaves You by Luca Veste
  2. Billy the Kid by Michael Morpurgo
  3. The Hermitage by L.J Ross
  4. The Dancing Bear by Michael Morpurgo
  5. Be Loyal: Following the King of Kings by Warren Wiersbe
  6. The Broken Way: Ann Voskamp


So what genre fits what book?   Well one of them fits two genres as It Never Leaves You by Luca Veste is a short crime story which tells the story of Detectives Murphy and Rossi who while waiting for a suspect to come home take the opportunity to discuss the past cases they are never able to forget.

Also under the genre of crime fiction, I read The Hermitage which is Book 8 in the DCI Ryan series by LJ Ross. I love this series and the characters are great as well.

The Dancing Bear and Billy the Kid are both Children’s books written by the fantastic Michael Morpurgo who has written many many books, with some of them even been made into movies and plays such as the fantastic War Horse.


And by process of elimination, it is easy to guess that the last two books Be Loyal and The Broken Way are both Christian Books.  Instead of writing individual reviews for all the books I have read, I am just going to condense them into what I have read each month.
