Can you believe we are already halfway through the year?
For me it’s been an up and down year, reading wise. I’ve had the mother of all slumps but I still have read some great books.
I saw the Mid Year Freak Out tag on Booked Hooked Nook and thought it was right up my street….so here goes!
1: The best book that you’ve read so far in 2019?
Only Work, No Play by Cora Reilly
I read this earlier on in the year and I remember being so, so hooked! I’d read this author’s mafia series but this book made me realise she can write anything!
2: Best sequel that you’ve read so far in 2019?
Finale by Stephanie Garber
OMG I loved it so much! This was different to the first 2 books but totally captured my heart!
3: New release that you haven’t read yet but want to?
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
I ‘think’ I’m getting this in a book box so I’ve been holding out. But I really want it now!!!!!!
4: Most anticipated release for the next half of 2019?
The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
I need Cardan back in my life! *cuddles plushie Cardan*
5: Biggest disappointment in 2019?
I hate these types of questions. I’m a people pleaser but I am forcing myself to answer this…..but know it hurts me to do so!!!
Legend by Marie Lu
I love this author so I spent a few days guilting myself over not liking this at all. I’m not adding a picture as I will just guilt myself all over again!
6: Biggest surprise in 2019?
Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufmann
I didn’t know if loving Skyward last year was a flook and I really wasn’t really a sci-fi fan. But after reading this I can confirm I really am a sci-fi fan!!!
7: Favourite new author (debut or new to you)?
Nadine Brandes
I fell absolutely in love with Romanov. I need more!
8: Newest fictional crush?
Ezra from King Hall by Scarlett Dawn
I should be ashamed as I’m old enough to be his Mum…..but I dont care 😂
9: Newest favourite character?
Fin from Aurora Rising
He lives for sarcasm and rude jokes. He is my spirit animal.
10: A book that made you cry?
Well….none. I’m not a cryer, like at all. My friends say I am dead inside!!!! 😂😂
11: A book that made you happy?
Repeat by Kylie Scott
This book made me realise the heart wants what the heart wants…and I love that.
12: The most beautiful book you’ve bought or received in 2019?
A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
LOOK AT IT!!!!
13: What books do you need to read by the end of 2019?
I don’t even think there is room to add them all here!!!
However I am doing Beat the Backlist this year so I need to read those. My original post is here.
Thats it! I’m not tagging anyone but join in if you want to!
Can’t believe we’re halfway through the year either! I am so so excited for Queen of Nothing too!! And really glad you liked aurora rising 😀 Awesome answers!
