Hi world! Remember when I used to put up regular posts? You know your life is busy when on your DAY OFF you still can't find time to write a post. My last post was my month in review for June and it is well into July. But alas, I have two minutes to myself, and so I decided to do one of those Mid-Year Book Tags. I feel like I haven't really chatted about my reading (or lack thereof) this year, so I thought this would be a good chance to share some favourites.
Best Book You've Read So Far in 2019:
Without a single doubt, Crazy Rich Asians by: Kevin Kwan. It was light-hearted, hilarious, and so romantic. I flew through it and the movie is awesome as well.
Best Sequel You've Read So Far in 2019:
Not a sequel, but as part of When Dimple Met Rishi series, There's Something About Sweetie takes the cake. I thought the characters were so lovable and I was happy to get an ARC of this!
New Release You Haven't Read Yet, but Want To:
I really want to read Red, White and Royal Blue by: Casey Mcquiston! I thought I would get to it this summer, but then life got in the way. I will get to it eventually!
Most Anticipated Release For The Rest of The Year:
Probably Call Down the Hawk by: Maggie Stiefvater. It's the first book in her Ronan Lynch series, and I used to love The Raven Cycle. I understand she has had some problematic elements and I don't think the books are the quality literature I once thought they were, but it'll be a nice return to my teenage obsession.
Biggest Disappointment:
Children of Blood and Bone by: Tomi Adeyemi. This book was hyped so much, but I just found it kinda boring.
Biggest Surprise:
Wide Sargasso Sea by: Jean Rhys! I was not expecting to like this book because I had to read it for school, but it was so well-written and an amazing Jane Eyre retelling!
Favourite New Author (Or Debut to You):
Michelle Berry was a debut author for me and I loved her book The Prisoner and the Chaplain! I also got to interview her too and she was super nice!
Newest Fictional Crush:
Nick from Crazy Rich Asians. Nothing else to say.
Newest Favourite Character:
Seth Clearwater from The Twilight Saga. I never really appreciated him before but now I love him!
Book That Made You Cry:
I didn't actually cry, but My Lady Jane could have made me cry with laughter at times.
Book That Made You Happy:
I re-read To All the Boy's I've Loved Before and that book never fails to make me smile!
Your Favourite Book to Movie/Tv Adaptation From This Year:
I haven't read Birdbox, but the movie was amazing!!!
What's Your Favourite Post From this Year?
I really liked my post, Why I Don't Want to Get Published. It was really good for me to get that stuff off my chest.
Most Beautiful Book You've Bought So Far:
Slayer by: Kiersten White, for the sole purpose that anything related to Buffy is beautiful.
What Books Do You Need to Read by the End of the Year?
I need to finish my re-read of the To All the Boy's series, and I also need to get going on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics. I finally bought the first volume and I hope I love them!
This has been my year so far! I know it's no secret that I haven't been posting or reading regularly, but I'm still here. Don't forget me book community!
