Mid Year Freak Out Book Tag

-

 It's been so long since I've done a book tag, so I'll be doing the mid-year freak-out book tag today. This tag is basically a check-in to see how my reading has been going for the first half of the year.

Best book you've read so far this year

I've read a bunch of great books so far this year, but the best has been Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas. 

Best sequel you've read so far this year

Usually, sequels aren't nearly as good as the first book, but once in a while, I find one that really blows me away. My favorite sequel so far this year is Between Burning Worlds by Jessica Brody and Jonne Rendell.

   

New release you haven't read yet but want to

Two new releases that I've really been looking forward to reading Cold Hearted by Serena Valentino and Goldilocks: Wanted Dead or Alive by Chris Colfer.

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year

My most anticipated release for the second half of the year is The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barns.

Biggest disappointment

My biggest disappointment so far this year would be Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard. I was so excited for this book to come out in May, but when I finally read it, I was so disappointed. Realm Breaker was so boring!

Biggest surprise

I'm not sure what book surprised me the most since a lot of the books I've read so far this year, I've expected to like. I guess my biggest surprise would be Ruthless Gods by Emily A. Duncan. After reading Wicked Saints and being so bored, I was expecting the sequel to be just as bad. Ruthless Gods ended up being better than I expected.

Favorite new author

A new to me author that I've been loving lately is Leigh Bardugo. I just finished reading Six of Crows recently and I loved it!

Book that made you cry

I haven't read any books that made me cry yet this year!

Book that made you happy

One book that made me happy this year is My Calamity Jane. I laughed so much while reading this book!

Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year

One of the most beautiful books I've bought so far this year is The Court of Miracles. I love this cover!

   

What books do you need to read by the end of the year

A few books that I want to read before the end of the year are My Contray Mary, The Lucky List, and the Stalking Jack the Ripper series.

 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...

Fairest of All by Serena Valentino

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...
