We are at the end of June and while I planned on doing the Mid Year Freak out tag slightly earlier, I haven’t quite got around to it. June seems to be the perfect time to start freaking out about all the books that I am yet to read this year.
BEST BOOK YOU’VE READ SO FAR IN 2020
There are a couple that I was torn between but Stardust is currently the best I have read this year.
BEST SEQUEL YOU’VE READ SO FAR IN 2020
As i have read a number of series so far this year this was a little difficult to choose but Kingdom of Ash was an amazing sequel and was worth every page.
NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN’T READ YET BUT WANT TO
I have read a lot of Sarah J Maas this year but her newest release House of Earth and Blood I am yet to read. While I am taking a break from reading Sarah J Maas I am planning on reading this one soon.
MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR
I am really looking forward to reading The Tower of Nero by Rick Riordan, though I do need to read the Tyrant’s Tomb first.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT
Currently this is Divergent, I will write about this later in the year. I would like to give it another go but my first attempt reading it did ot go well.
BIGGEST SURPRISE
Tower of Dawn If you have read my review of this I did say at the time that I had put off but it surprised me. If you are reading the series do not skip this book, not only is it integral to the plot it is also a really good read.
FAVOURITE NEW AUTHOR
This year was the first time I read anything solely by Neil Gaiman and I feel that I should read more of his writing.
NEWEST FICTIONAL CRUSH
I don’t have a fictional crush.
NEWEST FAVOURITE CHARACTER
Nico di Angleo, he is such a complex character and he has such a positive influence on Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I also feel that he is under appreciated by a lot readers.
BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY
A lot of books have made me cry this year…though i am aware I cry easily. The book I cried at most was Kingdom of Ash, but as I have listed that one already I am going to say that it was Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian, as it is heartbreaking.
BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY
Good Omens made me laugh so much. It made me very happy at the humor in it was just my cup of tea.
FAVOURITE BOOK TO FILM ADAPTATION
Stardust. Though I had seen the film prior to reading the book but it is such a good film it deserves another shout out.
MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK YOU HAVE BOUGHT THIS YEAR
I can’t remember the last book that I bought but I was bought Name of the Wind and while the cover is dark it is beautiful and have some good contrasts.
WHAT BOOKS DO YOU NEED TO READ BY THE END OF THE YEAR
I am trying to not commit to any specific books at the moment as I seem to be struggling to get to the books that I have been saying that I will read on my Blog. But I really want to read the Inheritance Cycle this year.
I want to know what your favourite book of the year so far is? What are you most looking forward to reading in the last six months of the year? Let me know below.
I love reading this tag! Great post. I love Neil Gaiman and need to read Stardust. I’ve had Kingdom of Ash for a while and I need to read it.

I had read Divergent last year and had found it so gripping that I devoured the entire series. Anyway, everyone’s opinions are different.
But I do agree with you when you say Neil Gaiman is a great author, even though I have read only one (actually half) book written by him.

I am going to give Divergent another go but I am not sure if it will grip me. I am always willing to try again I might not have been in the right frame of mind for it.

I don’t see nearly enough love for Neil Gaiman’s Stardust. It’s one of my all time favourites, along with Good Omens! If you haven’t read any Pratchett, I would definitely recommend it, especially for the humor.

Stardust was a lovely book, I liked how the characters developed throughout. I find that I can reread a Pratchett book and find a new joke each time.!
