Day one of Blogmas, and of course I’m starting with a book tag, because why not. This is the End of the Year Book Tag, which goes around Youtube every year in November/very early December. I purposely waiting to do it until today, because why not?
- Are there any books this year that you’ve started that you need to finish? Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. I am not a fan of historical fiction. It’s a known thing, and I can’t help it. I can’t really take the use of 1800s English either. I’m trying though! I also want to read/finish The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth and Seasons of the Storm by Elle Cosimano, both of which has been on my list to read all year.
- Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year? I’m really debating on spending New Years rereading the Percy Jackson series, but I’m not putting down firm roots on it. Depends on Christmas, honestly.
- Is there an new release you’re still waiting for? I actually just got my final new release of the year that I couldn’t wait for! Legendborn by Tracy Deonn came in October’s Owlcrate (I think) and I almost screamed. Totally worth it. I really need to sit down and read it.
- What are three books you want to read before the end of the year? If I don’t include the aforementioned books (because where is the fun in that?), I would love to finally read Once and Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy, The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova. All three have been on my to read list since the beginning of 2020.
- Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year? The Light Between Worlds by Laura E. Weymouth almost destroyed me. I could not believe how much I loved this book. There was also Seven Deadly Shadows by Courtney Alameda and Valynne E. Maetani and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, both books that also regularly make my Best Book of 2020 list. I really can’t decide between the three of them. Just depends on the day.
- Have you already started making reading plans for 2021? I’m not making firm plans, what with how quickly my 2020 plans got shredded. I have started making a 2021 release list, but I’m not holding firm to anything at this point. When I set up my 2021 bullet journal and also my book planner (November’s Owlcrate, pics coming soon), I’ll start making things more permanent.
This is probably the shortest tag on my list for Blogmas, and I’m somewhat hopeful to not double up a lot of the same books. Fingers crossed!
Until next time!
