June’s freakout ! (Mid-year freakout tag)
Say what ? Half of the year has passed us by already !! So just like pretty much everyone right now, Let’s do the mid-year freakout tag !
Out of my 12 books goal, I managed to finish 9 (!!!) in the last 6months, which is insane for me, as I am FOUR! books! ahead of schedule 😱 I might aswell add my current read «The bakery at Seashell cove» by Karen Clarke as i’m only 20-ish% left in it ..
** I was considering doing this anyway, but thanks a bunch to Norrie @ reading under the blankie to have tagged me for this !
Best book you’ve read this year ?
I’m sorry guys, but this year my book I won’t stop screaming about is Heavenward !! I had not heard about this book up until the author kindly asked me to review it ; Which as you know, i’m actually not a fantasy reader .. BUT ! The synopsis was just looking so good I had to. And surely enough, I don’t think I couldve pick a better book to introduce me to this genre. I absolutely LOVED it and will wait (not so) patiently for the rest of the books in the serie !!
Best sequel you’ve read in 2018?
I actually haven’t read any.
New release you haven’t read yet but want to ?
..I would had said “Let’s look into my virtually wanna read” but.. as im writting this goodreads’ is down .. hah..
Most Anticipated Release For The Second Half Of The Year?
eeeh.. you guys know I actually don’t really look for what will get published .. I just vaguely explore NetGalley sometimes and that’s it 😂 So I don’t know what to tell you here; I don’t anticipate any.
I only wait for the following books of Heavenwards, but I don’t think thoses will actually release this year ..
Biggest Disappointment?
Probably “Beyond the gossamer veil” .. really not what I thought it would have been. and was kinda meh, hence why I haven’t reviewed it here and only on Netgalley and Goodreads x)
Biggest Surprise?
I’d say Heavenward again ? Just because I would’ve never thought I’d ever be able to read fantasy ahah also wasn’t expecting my heart to be actually racing in some scenes !! Left my imagination bubbling after each reading sessions (which was really good for posts ahah)
Favorite New To You Or Debut Author?
New to me; Nicola may. Debut Author; Olga Gibbs.
both of thoses ladies are also so kind and I love how interacting they are with me 💗 On top of loving both of their books, of course.
Newest Favorite Character?
So, I got a few more book boyfriends .. *aherm* reid from The art of french kissing and rafe and Sam from Heavenward, of course !
Book That Made You Cry?
Probably all of them .. ahaha yep. i’m one of thoses who’s always sobbing while reading. hah.
Book That Made You Happy?
Most of them did at some point, i’d say .. but I’d showcase “The heart between us” and “the art of french kissing”
Favorite Book-To-Film Adaptation?
Again, I haven’t really watched any to be honest x)
Favorite Post You Have Done This Year?
Probably this one; where I rambled about what if falling in love could really be like in our books ? Which was inspired by my now boyfriend — and also the comments I got on this one was really sweet !
Most Beautiful Book You’ve Bought This Year?
Look at thoses !! aren’t they pretty ? pretty much the latest books I bought xd
What Books Do You Need To Read By The End of the Year?
Alot. ahaha I still have 5 review requests to complete for June, and one for July so far 😓 But i’d really love to read “Under rose tainted skies“, “radio silence“, “A totally awkward love story” and “the nerdy and the dirty” from my own tbr of books I own already. Also “Eliza and her monsters”, which I don’t own yet !
As mostly anyone did it at this point ..
i’m just gonna let this open as always and say feel free to do it if you want to and say I tagged you ! xx
Well done on the progress towards your goal 🤗
Sometimes i think i obsess too much about hoarding and discovering books, rather than actual reading. I kinda stressed myself out with it lately. 😂
yep ahah I almost splurged on more books but I put it back like …I should totally NOT buy more with how lenghty my review requests are ..
Omg, i admire your restraint so much! <3
I did needed to look at popular books on the blogosphere though ahah
Hey if you don’t mind can I ask you why have you only read 9 books? I mean were you busy or something?
… No, im just slow. last year from July to december I failed with only 5 out of my 10 goal ..
Im not one who’s able to read 100s, specially not since my reading ability got affected.
Oh, I understand. You are doing great this year 💕 hope you will be able to complete your goal ❤
4 books ahead! Congratulations there! This is a tag that I must do 😉
Yes, do it – Join us !!
So close to finish another one too, aah!!
I literally only know Radio Silence and Eliza And Her Monsters from all the mentioned books. I have to read both though.
Well, thats atleast two books we have in common on our tbr! Ahaah
Woot you’re so close to your reading goal, Kristina! Plus I’m so happy to see Eliza on your list of books to read this year–it’s SO good. You’re going to love it! And A Totally Awkward Love Story has THE CUTEST cover!!! ♥
– Aimee @ Aimee, Always
IKNOW, eh !! eeeeek !! so proud.
Oh im SO hyped for that one .. hopefully it won’t fail me. and yes yes !! the cover might have helped me pick up that one .. ahah
I am so happy that you are so close to your goal 🙂 And hey, even before I looked to your answers, I knew that Heavenward will dominate your post 😀
Ah, Eliza and Her Monsters is so high on my TBR for so long now. But unfortunately, it’s so costly that I can’t buy it 🙁
And I don’t know why I haven’t read The Art of French Kissing yet 😛 See, I often request too many books from NG and then I forgot.
And those two books totally have cute covers 🙂
Good luck for the second half of the year 🙂
hahah yep, it did indeed ! 😂
I knoow… Id want the paperback instead as of YIKES, hardcover is like 22bucks here .. plus im not a fan of heavy hardcover, idk .. I might splurge on it anyway someday.
read it !!!! I loved that one 😀
Thank youu xx wishing you luck for your goal aswell !
The thing is that the paperback of that is not yet available here 😂 I don’t know why they make is so tough for us international bloggers 🙄
Thank you 😊
Not here either as far as I know .. :/
You have done so well on you reading list! I hope you can get Eliza and Her Monsters soon, I really, really loved the book! ♥️
