I came across this tag on Warm Days Will Never Cease’s blog and thought I would do it myself.
Best Book You’ve Read This Year?
I haven’t been reading as much this year so there may be a lot of duplication happening here. The best book I’ve read this year so far is Rose Madder by Stephen King. A much older book but really good.
Best Sequel You’ve Read?
Hmm, I think Child of the Prophecy by Juliet Marillier was probably the best sequel. It did a great job of wrapping up a trilogy and Fainne was my favourite character in that series.
New Release You Haven’t Read Yet But Want To?
I’m not really up to date on new releases as I’m trying to get through books I’ve had for years, but the latest books in the Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop
Most Anticipated Release For The Second Half Of The Year?
Like I said above, I’m not up to date on new releases so I don’t actually know what’s coming out this year.
Biggest Disappointment?
Seer of Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier. The main character in this novel had been set up in a certain way in the previous two books and this one just subverted all that.
Biggest Surprise?
Hmm, maybe Rose Madder. This was a book my roommate recommended I read and I knew nothing about it going in.
Favourite New-To-You or Debut Author?
J.V. Hilliard. I read by his debut novel The Last Keeper and the sequel Vorodin’s Lair. Both were excellent.
Newest Fictional Crush?
I don’t have one
Book That Made You Cry?
Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier. A beloved character from the first book passed away and it was very sad.
Book That Made You Happy?
Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier. There were a lot of struggles in the this novel for the main characters and the ending just made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Favourite Book-To-Film Adaptation?
I haven’t see any this year
Favourite Post You Have Done This Year?
Probably my post Fantasy Novels with (Almost) no Sex in Them. It was something I’d been thinking about for awhile.
Most Beautiful Book You’ve Bought This Year?
I’ve only bought two so I guess the Black Jewels book I picked up. I actually can’t remember which one I bought lol
What Books Do You Need To Read By The End of the Year?
Nothing is ever set in stone. I generally choose what to read based on my current mood so I will see how I feel going forward.
