This was created by Chami over on YouTube! I couldn’t find the video, unfortunately. I found the questions @ Truffle’s Literary Wonders.
I tried my best not to pick the same book for multiple prompts. I’ve only read 38 books this year, and a few of those were graphic novels. It’s been a super weird and scary year. I hope you all are healthy and staying safe. I hope you’re all fighting for what’s right. I love you all, and I just want justice for all the wrongs that have happened. I hope this will give you just a moment away from reality.
Best book you’ve read so far in 2020:
There have been quite a few favorites. I can’t pick one because they’re all so different. There’s a lot of historical fiction, though. Oops.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
The Last Train to London by Meg Waite Clayton
Big Lies in a Small Town by Diane Chamberlain
He Started It by Samantha Downing
Best sequel you’ve read so far:
If I’m being honest, I don’t have a favorite sequel. If I had to pick one I would choose Starsight by Brandon Sanderson. It’s a lot of fun, and I’m excited to pick up the next one that’s coming out in 2021.
A new release you haven’t read yet, but want to:
Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune–This isn’t super new, but it still came out this year.
Most anticipated release for the second half of the year:
The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline–I don’t know why I want to read this so much, but it’s really calling to me. Fortunately, I have the digital ARC from NetGalley! Thank you to them and the publisher. 😀
Goodnight Beautiful by Aimee Molloy–I loved her last book, so I’m expecting good things from this one!
Biggest disappointment:
Network Effect by Martha Wells–After reading the first four novellas in the series I was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, I didn’t love it.
Biggest surprise:
The Red Lotus by Chris Bohjalian–I really didn’t expect to like this as much as I did. It was such an interesting story that I’ve never read before.
Favorite new author (debut or new to you):
Diane Chamberlain
Newest fictional crush:
I don’t have one from this year. Honestly, it’ll be hard to beat Aragorn from LOTR.
Book that made you cry:
Apparently, I’m heartless and don’t cry while reading books.
Book that made you happy:
Not a lot of happy books have been read this year. I think any Giant Days graphic novels can count for this one.
The most beautiful book you’ve bought/received so far this year:
Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams or The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd.
What books do you need to read by the end of the year?
I would love to finish A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, but I don’t think that’ll happen. That’s really the only book I feel like I need to read by the end of the year.
Favorite book to movie adaptation you’ve seen this year:
I don’t think I’ve watched any this year.
That’s all she wrote, folks! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you participate in this as well. I’m sorry mine wasn’t extremely interesting.
If you enjoyed this, then give it a like and follow my blog. Be respectful and happy reading!
