End of Year 2019 Book Tag

-

  Can you believe it's time for this post? Only two months ago I was posting the Mid-year Freakout Tag. Well, let's get into this before I make a long intro!

Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?

 I don't like to put books down so I don't have any have too many books to list. If I'm reading a book I bought and I don't like then I'll stick it out until the end.
  So I recently finished A Tale of Magic by Chris Colfer. I am still on a hangover. So I finished this book late Thursday night I started Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, but I didn't get very far before deciding I wanted to read a different book. I read 20 pages of Mistress of All Evil by Serena Valentino but I couldn't focus so I put it down. On Saturday, I started The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, but it's written it's old English so I couldn't understand/focus on it much. And this was all because I was in a book hangover form A Tale of Magic.
  For anyone who doesn't know what A Tale of Magic is, this is the Goodreads link.

Do you have an autumnal book to transition you to the end of the year?

  I love to read mysteries in Autumn. The mysteries that I currently have on my TBR shelve is The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, but like I said before, I won't be reading that until my Tale of Magic hangover ends.

Is there no release that you're still waiting for? 

  Honestly, the only book release I was excited for in 2019 was A Tale of Magic which came out October 1! 

What are some books you want to read by the end of the year? 

Let's see: 


  1. A Dress for the Wicked by Autumn Krause
  2. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
  3. The Modern Faerie Tales by Holly Black 
  4. The Book Theif by Markus Zusak
  5. The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix
  6. Haunted Cemeteries by Tom Ogden

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good! Goodreads synopsis: Aspiring actor August Greene just landed a coveted spot at the prestigious School of Performing Arts in New York. There's only one problem: His conservative parents won't accept that he's transgender. And to stay with his aunt in the city, August must promise them he won't transition. August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down? And where will he turn when the roles start hitting a little too close to home?  A Tale of Sorcery by Chris Colfer Though I'm so excited to read the last book in the Tale of Magic  series, I am a little sad that Chris Colfer is taking a break from wri...

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would...
