Heey !
As youāll read this, iāll be on my way home from our little vacation trip! This post took me longer than iād wanna admit to find, as I wanted to plan ALL the posts while iād be gone and well.. I just couldnāt find a tag I liked for today š
As I did the June freak-out tag last year, I didnāt felt like doing it back quite yet.. and I found this tag on Zezeeās @ Zezee with books, click the link to go see her post!
TheĀ Half Year Book TagĀ was created byĀ BexnBookxĀ in 2016.
Ā
First, Iād like us to take a look at which book I read so far ā Iāve managed to suceed my goal of 15 already, and I read 19 books ;
Ā
1. Favourite stand alone book hauled and read so far in 2019?
Well I havenāt hauled many books this year.. so that disqualify a bunch ahah ā Iād go for Ā«My Hearts and Other Black HolesĀ», that I āhauledā from our library app.
Ā
2. Favourite series that you started or continued to read in 2019?
Oh my gosh, the Sovereign serie by Josie Jaffrey that I finished reading the final book this yearā¦ iām so sad I wonāt be seeing my Lucas anymore, although we did have gotten a pretty nice and happy ending. Iām always thinking back on that serie and feel like rereading it again, but as a whole without stopping!
Ā
3. Favourite bookish items purchased or received this year?
errr.. I actually havenāt purchased any bookish items..
Ā
4. Favourite debut author?
I donāt know who is a debut author at this point š¤·š½āāļøĀ as iām mostly late on my reading.. aha
Ā
5. Favourite under-hyped book that you read this year?
I wanna say Ā«SupermarketĀ» ā¦ I havenāt seen anyone talk about it in the bookish community, as it has been Alex to show it to me (as itās written by itās favorite rapper). The twists absolutely blew my mind ā and iām fairly frequently still thinking about it.
Ā
6. Favourite book read this year that you were late to the party on?
Iām pretty much late on EVERYTHING XD Ā«My heart and other black holesĀ», Ā«Letters to the lostsĀ», Ā«Reasons to Stay AliveĀ» ..
Ā
7. Potential favourite that you havenāt got around to reading yet?
On my shelves, iād say probably Ā«The Nerdy & the DirtyĀ» or Ā«A Totally Awkward Love StoryĀ». I wonāt even try to browse my 288books in my virtual wanna read shelf, letās just go with the ones I own ahah š
Ā
8. Favourite re-read in 2019?
Ā«HeavenwardĀ»! The difference between now and last year was flagrant, as I had more āreading in englishā experiences, so I got to understands some thing SO much better.
Ā
9. Favourite cover on a book released this year?
I definately loved the cover of Witchcraft & Monsters ! Not sure what it is in particular about it, but iām a fan for the witchy aesthetic !
Ā
Iām tagging everyone who wanna do it ! šĀ Wether you had done the mid-year freakout aswell or just wanting something a little different like me.
Supermarket has mostly negative reviews on Goodreads. I wonder why other readers didnāt find the twists mind-blowing. Now Iām a LITTLE BIT curious about it but Iām not sure if Iām curious enough to pick it up or not.
Well see, from what iāve seen itās just people who strictly liked his music; and probably think that he shouldnāt had expended to writer aswell.. š¤·š½āāļø I havenāt seen one person not writing a review and having read it without knowing his tunes.
Yea, I thought Supermarket would have received more hype. I havenāt read it, but couple people I know have expressed interest in it.
Iām glad you did the tag. It was a good one Bex created.
I honestly wouldnāt had known if my boyfriend werenāt super onto knowing all of his stuff.. and I literally havenāt seen ANYONE else talk about it yet.
yes, I agree!! Itās nice to have something a little different than our usual half year freakout we see everywhere.
I had fun reading your answers, also, awesome job on not going crazy on buying books and bookish merch this year so far. I myself have failed horribly with that aspect lol.
Hahaha, itās mostly because I didnāt had time nor the energy to go anywhere beside work š and for some reason iām not big onto order stuff onlineā¦ š¤·š½āāļø
Iām also always late to reading books, haha, but Iāve learnt to not let it bother me. Iāve been let down by new releases getting over hyped too many times and I prefer to now just focus on books that have a backlog of good reviews.
Thatās the best way to go, just let the hype pass and get to it after. Iām not bothered by it either! Honestly I have no idea of what books are releasing š I donāt keep track of that so, heh š¤·š½āāļø
