Hey guys!
Can you believe it's June already? Where does the time go, omg?? My lovely friend Meg tagged me in this a few days ago so I've decided to take a break from writing right now to write up this. I don't know a lot of blogs yet that I could tag so count yourself tagged if you're a blogger and reading this! 1. THE BEST BOOK YOU HAVE READ IN 2017? Damn. That's a hard question because there has been so many good books. I would say either Lord of Shadows by the wonderful Cassandra Clare or Release by Patrick Ness because they're both brilliantly written. The plots are expertly done and their characters are just glorious. 2. BEST SEQUEL YOU'VE READ OF 2017 SO FAR? Lord of Shadows by Cassie Clare! 3. NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN'T READ YET BUT WANT TO? Like Other Girls by Claire Hennessy, Truth or Dare by Non Pratt and Wires and Nerve by Marissa Meyer. 4. MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2017? It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne!! 5. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT? If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo. 6. BIGGEST SURPRISE? The Great Gatsby! 7. FAVOURITE NEW AUTHOR? ALICE OSEMAN (aka my queen, aka author of Radio Silence and Solitaire) 8. NEWEST FICTIONAL CRUSH? Adam Thorn from Release, wow. 9. NEWEST FAVOURITE CHARACTER? Starr Carter from The Hate U Give. She's so fierce and fabulous. 10. BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY? History is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera. 11. A BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY? All About Mia by Lisa Williamson. 12. FAVOURITE BOOK TO MOVIE ADAPTATION YOU HAVE SEEN IN 2017? I don't think I have actually seen any....? 13. FAVOURITE REVIEWS YOU HAVE WROTE IN 2017 SO FAR? Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. wHAT A BEAUTIFUL BOOK. 14. MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK YOU HAVE BOUGHT THIS YEAR? On the inside: Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. On the outside: Wing Jones for its sprayed edges and my hardcover of Release. 15. WHAT BOOK DO YOU NEED TO READ BY THE END OF THIS YEAR? Tangle Weed and Brine by Deirdre Sullivan (even though it's not out yet lmao)
Hey! It pains me to say that May was a terrible month for reading, as I only managed to finish 5 books. This was due to exams and the busy last month of school, with interviews and orals and homework. But now I'm finally finished and plan on reading so much over the Summer. As for my June TBR, I'm participating in the #RamadanReadathon so you can find what I'm going to read for this month here! MAY WRAP UP
