It's hard to believe we're half way through the year already! I've read 17 books this year, and many of them were sequels to books I read last year. I really enjoyed most of the books I read this year, so I highly recommend checking out the ones I liked. This tag was originally created by Chami. Best book you’ve read so far in 2021The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang is a dark, intense fantasy novel. It's full-on and super gripping, and I enjoyed it even more than the first book. Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2021The Toll by Neal Shusterman is the finale in great trilogy and it was super satisfying, and I could never guess what was going to next. New release you haven’t read yet, but want toThe Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes came out this year and it's the sequel of The Inheritance Games, which I really enjoyed, so I can't wait to read this. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year Our Violent Ends is the finale in Chloe Gong's duology, The first book was 5 stars and can't wait to read this. Biggest disappointment Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi is another sequel and it just didn't hit as hard of the first book for me, which is a shame, because I though the series had a lot of potential and the cover looks so cool. Biggest surprise The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is fun, young-adult mystery novel. I didn't expect to enjoy because the premise was a little 'fanf-fiction-ly', but it lived up to its pretty cover. Favourite new author (debut or new to you)These Violent Delights is Chloe Gong's debut book and I read it purely because of the hype and aesthetic cover, and I don't usually read romance, but this childhood-friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers-enemies story really does live up to the hype, and I look forward to reading more of Chole Gong's writing. The most beautiful book you’ve bought so far this year (or received)...or borrowed. I defiantly judge books by their cover and These Violent Delights and The Inheritance Games did not disappoint. What books do you need to read by the end of the year? I've been waiting to borrow these book forever, and I'm sure they won't disappoint. Favourite book to movie adaptation you’ve seen this year?I didn't read the book, but I watched the movie a while age and while it was kind of cheesy at times, I found my self being invested in the story. Hope you found new books to read through this post! Feel free to do this tag yourself and leave the link in the comments so I can check it out. I skipped some of the prompts, so look at others' posts.
