Not only did I drop the ball the last five months but in 2020 I'm going to either do one book review for the whole year or one every six months because I got a job in October and don't have the time or energy to do it monthly. And I've been sick which is why my end of the year stuff is late.
The Epic of Gilgamesh
I read this ancient Mesopotamian epic poem off of my boyfriend's bookshelf. It's one of the earliest work of literature that's survived for us to find us and surprise! It's pretty gay. But *Spoiler Alert* the two main characters who seem a little more than bros, both die. That was disappointing.
Where Mercy is Shown, Mercy is Given by Duane "Dog" Chapman
I bored this from my uncle and while I was reading it Beth Chapman passed away so it made the rest of the reading a little bittersweet. I've been a fan of the Dog the Bounty Hunter show since I was little and I've always admired Beth'ss strong and badass spirit and I'm really sorry for the family's loss.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
This was a cute little read. It was interesting to see what a fairy tale is like in the world of Harry potter and get more context to the stories referenced in The Deathly Hallows.
Strange Planet by Nathan W Pyle
I bought this as a gift for a friend (hence the wrapping paper background) so of course, I read it first. I've been following the comic on facebook for a little bit because he makes really funny stuff. The concept is aliens being exposed to basic human things and hilarity ensues.
It's the Little Things by Richard Austin
I got this for my mom. It has some quotes with really cute pictures of mini pigs.
I am a little elephant by Francois Crozat
I got this book at the Zoo purely for the adorable size.

It's really cool that you were able to read the Epic of Gilgamesh. :) That story is one of the most influential works I have read. Excited I got to share that experience with you and eager to see what our next literary adventure will be! <3
