It's that time of year: the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag!
Books: 36ish??
Not freaking out for the most part... though very, very hot while I was recording this under the heat dome. It's actually nice and cool now.
Thoughts going to the people of Lytton, B.C., who after having the hottest day in recorded history for the province, were burned out of their town in a frightening fast wild fire.
1. Best book you’ve read so far in 2021.
2. Best sequel you've read so far in 2021.
3. New release you haven't read yet, but want to.
4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year.
5. Biggest disappointment.
6. Biggest surprise.
7. Favorite new author. (Debut or new to you)
8. Newest fictional crush.
9. Newest favorite character.
10. Book that made you cry.
11. Book that made you happy.
12. Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received)
13. What books do you need to read by the end of the year?
