Mid Year Freak Out Tag

OK so the Mid-Year Freak Out Tag has been doing the rounds and I thought that I would add mine to the world. This tag was originally created by ReadLikeWildfire and I have linked her original video here.

 So let's get started...

 1. Best book you've read this year so far?
Street Song
Street Song by Sheena Wilkinson- This book was definitely a raw YA story that touched on issues that are not often mentioned in YA so it was therefore quite special to me and will probably make my favourites list. 







2. Best sequel you've read this year so far

 Hollow City (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #2)For this, I have chosen Hollow City by Ransom Riggs because there was so much character development in this book that it made it very special.















3. New releases you haven't read yet but want to.

 ReleaseRelease by Patrick Ness- I love Patrick Ness and have had it since it was released (no pun intended) but I haven't had time so hopefully, I will read it soon.













4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year.
Turtles All the Way Down

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green- IT'S A NEW JOHN GREEN BOOK!













5. Biggest Disappointment

 Milk and HoneyMilk and Honey by Rupi Kaur- There is so much hype around this book and it just did not live up to the hype for me. 













6. Biggest Surprise 

 We Come ApartWe Come Apart- It's not that I was expecting this to be terrible but I wasn't expecting to start and finish this book on the last night. 













7. Favourite new author
Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor- She is just great and her writing is so beautiful!














8. Newest fictional crush

 Image result for clay jensenClay Jensen from 13 Reasons Why- I think this is more from the TV show version but they both quite lovable. 













9. Newest favourite character

 America #1America from the Marvel comics- I do really like her character and I am very happy that she has her own series!













10. Book that made you cry 

 I don't really have an answer for this question so here is a cat gif...


11. A book that made you happy.

 Weird Things Customers Say in BookshopsWeird Things Customers Say in Bookshops- it made me laugh. 















12. Favourite book to film adaptation you saw this year.

 Image result for nick and norah infinite playlistNick & Norah's Infinite Playlist- Although I did not really like the book, I found the film to be a very good adaptation that probably translated better in a film than it did in book form. 












13. Favourite review you've written this year

 Maybe my Silver Stars review just because I love the Soldier Girls series so anything that allows me to promote how good this series is good!

 14. Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year

 Caraval (Caraval, #1)
I mean come on...















15. What books do you need to read by the end of this year?

 Truth or DareProbably Truth or Dare by Non Pratt as I have heard so many good things about it. 














OK, so that's it. What are some of your favourite books of the year? Leave them in the comments below.

 See you soon, 

 Amy

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world.

Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit a...

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

Book Review: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland

* I have received this book for review from Readers First but this in no way affects my review * Title: A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares Author: Krystal Sutherland Source: From Readers First Publisher: Hot Key Books Rating: 5/5 stars ( Goodreads | Amazon ) Book Summary from Goodreads: Ever since Esther Solar's grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther's father is agoraphobic and hasn't left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck. The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.  Esther doesn't know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces, and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen oth...
