MidYear Book Freakout Tag

I just wanted to pop this up here in case anyone is interested in what I have read and want to read for the rest of the year.

 

  1. Best Book You’ve Read So Far in 2019?

Well this is a tough one to answer and not because I have read so many amazing books. I have read a total of 47 books so far and there’s only a handful that I have rated five stars, but so far I would say my favorite book so far is Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

 

  1. Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far in 2019?

Hands down the best sequel I have read is Shadowblack by Sebastien De Castell. I need to continue this series soon because it’s so great and funny!

 

  1. New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To?

There are a few but one that I own and haven’t had a chance to read yet is Aurora Rising. I am a little nervous going into it because I really did not like Jay Kristoff’s Likelike, but we shall see.

 

  1. Most Anticipated Release For Second Half of 2019?

I think the two I am most looking forward to is Gideon the Ninth and The Bone Houses. I see so many people with ARCs and I this is one of the few times I wish I could get my hands on a copy of either one.

 

  1. Biggest Disappointment?

ELANTRIS! By Brandon Sanderson. I know everyone is in love with every single book he writes but this was boring and repetitive. It took me forever to get through it.

 

  1. Biggest Surprise?

A Curse So Dark and Lonely!! I have been really disappointed recently by the overhyped YA books, but I really enjoyed this one.

 

  1. Favourite New Author?

Sarah Gailey! I read her book Magic for Liars and loved it!

    The two Spellslinger books from Sabestien de Castell made me so happy! Love the characters and the humor.
