So I finally remembered to do this tag! So here are my answers!
1 How much have you been reading?
As of writing this post I have read 67 books! 54% have been audiobooks, 12% EBooks and 34% have been physical books. I have definitely been enjoying audiobooks more in the last couple years.
2 Best book you’ve read so far
The Stardust Thief! I completely devoured this book and I have not stopped thinking about it since I read it. My review is here
3 Best sequel you’ve read so far
A Darkness at the Door by Intisar Khanani. This book was absolutely perfect and I am completely and entirely in love with this duology! My review is here
4 New release you haven’t read yet but want to
The House with the Golden Door is a book I really want to get to but i’m scared of what will happen to my faves and I don’t know if i’m ready for the heartbreak I know we will get.
5 Most anticipated release for the second half of the year
Love From Mecca to Medina! The way I am absolutely DYING to read this book but also don’t want to say goodbye to these characters.
6 Biggest surprise
My Mechanical Romance! I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did! I loved the discussions around women in STEM and the cute romance! My review is here
7 New favourite author
Chelsea Abdullah and Olivie Blake have become instant buy authors because their books were absolutely incredible!
8 Books to read by the end of the year
I really want to read Pandora & Elektra by the end of the year!
9 Biggest disappointment?
You Truly Assumed by Laila Sabreen & The Balloon Thief by Aneesa Marufu. Both of these books were a mess and problematic. You can read my review for The Balloon Thief here and You Truly Assumed here
10 Newest fictional crush?
Bren from The Theft of Sunlight duology. I absolutely love him even if he is a thief lord. When he came with his hair in a top knot, I swooned right there and then. The love and care he shows for the main character and the fierce way he protects his people, how can I not love him.
11 Newest favourite character?
Amara from The Wolf Den has become an absolute favourite character. Her resilience and determination to build a better life for herself and just her ruthlessness and strength to make it a reality made me completely fall in love with her.
12 Book that made you cry?
I don’t really cry when I read a book and I haven’t cried over a book this year but I think Love From Mecca to Medina may change that!
13 Book that made you happy?
I read The River of Silver with a huge grin and the last story lives in my head rent free! I am so happy that we got these stories which I absolutely loved and just the best goodbye to these characters I adore. My review is here
14 Favourite post you’ve written this year?
I put my whole heart into writing this post. It’s about how much I loved the disability rep in The Theft of Sunlight duology.
15 Most beautiful book you bought this year?
There have been so many beautiful books this year but I think one of my most beautiful ones is The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea!
