We’re over halfway through 2019! Can you believe it? It’s definitely true that time goes faster as you get older. :/ Alas, here we are and I’ve read a few books this year, so I’m definitely jumping in on this tag. The last time I did it was two years ago even though I definitely thought I did it last year too… Oh well. I saw the tag this year over at The Literary Huntress!
BEST BOOK YOU’VE READ IN 2019
House of Salt and Sorrows was such an amazing, unique read! I won’t say much about it since my review hasn’t been shared yet, but if you like weird spooky retellings, I definitely recommend this one.
BEST SEQUEL YOU’VE READ IN 2019
While Finale was my least favorite of the Caraval series, it was still an absolutely fantastic sequel and end to the series. I’m still really hoping there will be spinoffs!
NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN’T READ YET, BUT WANT TO
I actually have two editions of this gorgeous book, but haven’t had the chance to read it yet. I’m definitely a mood reader so I’m just waiting on the mood to strike.
MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2019
Honestly, who’s shocked?
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT
EVERYONE has told me how incredible this book is! I waited forever to finally read it and just… yikes.
BIGGEST SURPRISE
I had actually started this book a few years ago, but put it down when it didn’t grab my interest. I gave it another chance and was shocked at how much I enjoyed it! I still need to read the rest of the series though.
FAVORITE NEW TO YOU OR DEBUT AUTHOR
This debut novel is right up my weird little alley! I loved this book so much that it went right onto my favorites shelf. I can’t wait to see what this author does next.
NEWEST FICTIONAL CRUSH
Nathaniel Thorn! Such a snarky, wonderful character. Definitely pick this book up if you haven’t already!
NEWEST FAVORITE CHARACTER
Milla is my favorite heroine of the year. She’s so strong and true to herself and I love her.
BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY
I’ve never cried over a book, but I ALMOST cried at how awful After was and how much I hate that it became a movie.
BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY
This one made me happy when I realized that I still loved it after a re-read. I was scared that I didn’t like Bardugo anymore after not loving Six of Crows or King of Scars.
FAVORITE BOOK TO FILM ADAPTATION
Apparently I haven’t seen many so I’m going with Aladdin. Technically I think it fits and I really enjoyed it! The one I’m most looking forward to is It Chapter 2, though.
FAVORITE POST YOU’VE DONE THIS YEAR
Hmmm… probably this list of weird books for weirdos because I like weird books and am a weirdo.
MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK YOU’VE BOUGHT THIS YEAR
Definitely the Owlcrate edition of Sorcery of Thorns. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s purple and it’s gorgeous.
BOOKS YOU NEED TO READ BY THE END OF THE YEAR
Aside from those already mentioned, these three are sequels that I seriously need to get my hands on ASAP! I still can’t believe there will be a second Handmaid’s Tale book.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE READ SO FAR THIS YEAR?
ARE THERE ANY FILM ADAPTATIONS YOU’RE EXCITED FOR?
LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!
