Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie this week so I'm going to be doing this instead. Consider yourself tagged! If you'd like to participate please do!
Best Book I've Read So Far -
Best Sequel -
New Release I haven't Read But I Need To -
I am so incredibly behind in my reading! I got sick, my dad was diagnosed with early onset dementia, and life has been incredibly crazy. I promise, Karen Barnett that I will read this!!
Biggest Disappointment -
I hate to say or use the word "disappointment." I'd rather say that this particular book and I, for whatever reason did not connect like I have with the author's previous books. Which breaks my heart since this author is one of my favorites.
Biggest Surprise -
It's interesting that a book by Robin Jones Gunn was a surprise for me. I loved her Sisterchicks series, but I didn't read her Christy Miller series, and since this new series is based on the character's from her Christy Miller series I wasn't sure how well I'd like it. Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Favorite New to You or Debut Author -
Again, I just can't chose one. Both of these author's are new to me and these books are just amazing, and I am so glad I read them. In their own way they've enriched my life.
Newest Fictional Crush -
Josh Dixon. He has a bad boy persona, has been hurt, and it has taught him what's important in caring for a woman who has also been hurt. I am partial to bad boys!
Newest Favorite Character -
Leif Metcalfe was in Ronie Kendig's Tox Files series, but this time he's the guy in charge and I really liked seeing him shine.
Book(s) That Made You Cry -
I bawled off and on through both of these books. With that said I can't recommend these books enough!
Books That Made Me Happy -
I read each of these after I read the each of the two books that made me cry. I needed a true laugh out loud, and something to make me smile and these did just that.
Favorite Book to Film Adaptation -
I read this book when it came out in 2008 and I loved it. I really hope it is as good as the book was.
Favorite Blog Post I've Done This Year -
My review of Between Stairs and Stardust was my most popular blog post this year. I adore Pepper Basham's book's and her Cinderella-esque story in this collection is a favorite.
Most Beautiful Book I've Bought This Year -
I don't buy many books, mainly because I receive so many for review, but when I saw this cover back last year sometime I knew I had to splurge on it. I hope I can get it read before college football season starts.
Books I Need to Read by the End of the Year -
My year TBR pile is quickly becoming it's own island. I know I have more but these are the ones that come to mind immediately mainly because they're staring at me from my book tree.
I really hope you'll participate in this Mid-Year Freak Out Tag. I'd love to see your choices. If you decide to leave your blog addy in the comments so I can check your Mid-Year Freak Out Post.
