Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag

I was recently tagged by  Books and Co. and I am always up for doing a tag. As Summer draws close and the heat turns up, I hope to do these more often and post more often, in general. Let’s start.

1. Best Book You’ve Read So Far in 2017:

Easily, Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentmer. Emotional, brutal, and genuine, it is a fantastic book!

2. Best Sequel of 2017 So Far:

51G73QQT6wL.SX316

I am not sure if this question means, book I’ve read in 2017 or released in 2017. I am going to go with the former and pick Fireborn which is the sequel to Skyborn. While I felt the first is still the better book, this serves as an excellent sequel. I will review the two within the next two weeks.

3. New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To:

There would be more, but as I am a recent book lover I am focusing more on past releases I have missed.

4. Most Anticipated Release of the Second Half of 2017:

34523160

5. Biggest Disappointment of 2017:

32048554

Still a solid book, but it does not do much to shake things up for the genre.

6. Biggest Surprise:

This book genuinely surprised me. I was taken aback by its heart and some of its mature themes dealing with the loss of a loved one.

7. Favorite New Author (Debut or New To You):

Jeff Zentmer. Definitely, plan on reading The Serpent King.

8. Newest Fictional Crush:

No one really.

9. Newest Favorite Character:

  • Johan in Fireborn
  • Carter in Goodbye Days
  • Mercer in Flip the Bird

10. Book that Made You Cry:

Men don’t cry…pfffttt. Okay, fine this made me pretty emotional.

11. Book that Made You Happy:

Can’t just choose one, so I didn’t.

12. Favorite Book to Movie Adaptation of 2017 You’ve Seen:

Well, I have only seen Beauty and the Beast so that one I guess. It was pretty solid though.

13. Favorite Review You’ve Written This Year:

Easily, my Goodbye Days one.

Here’s the link (shameless plug): Review

14. Most Beautiful Book You Bought Or Received This Year:

I can’t really choose between these two. Windfall is fairly simple, yet quite appealing. Fireborn just looks so badass.

15. Books You Need To Read By The End of This Year:

Can I just say all of them?

I nominate:

Sorry if you have already been tagged. 🙂

  1. Hi. What fun! I did do this one last week, so my answers wouldn’t be any different, but I appreciate it. I learned so many new books from reading through your responses… I have a few to add to my To Read list now. Thanks.
