Mid-Year Book Freak Out

Okay, okay I know it's not the middle of the year, sue me. But still, I really want to do this tag. This is actually a book tag that's been going around on the blog, but I thought it would be fun to do one here.


1. BEST BOOK YOU'VE READ SO FAR IN 2017

Maybe this is not the all time favorite book for everyone, but this book holds a special place in my heart. Therefore, I present you: Geekerella. I've talked about how much I love this book in my review here. If you're a fangirl or a fanboy, you should definitely read Geekerella! It'd be an absolute treat!

2. YOUR FAVORITE SEQUEL OF 2017

I haven't read many series this year, but for this one, I have to go with Siege and Storm. This book is the sequel to Shadow and Bone in The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. Compared to the latest series by Leigh Bardugo, which is Six of Crows Duology, the plot is not as complicated but still a good series to read. And hey, I need more of the Grishaverse anyway.

3. A NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN'T READ BUT WANT TO

In my defense, I want to reread the first two books before diving into this one. But apparently, I can't find time to read nowadays. Like the famous quote amongst us, bookworms said, "So many books, so little time".

4. MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

Hands down, The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo. Like I said before, I can't seem to get enough of The Grishaverse! Can't wait!

5. YOUR BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

I really wanted to enjoy When Dimple met Rishi by Shandya Menon. But sadly, I had too much expectation for this book. I wanted something empowering, but it turned out to be quite cheesy for me. I have a non spoiler review for this book here.

6. BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE YEAR

I reread Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban earlier this year. And HOLY MOLY!!! I forgot how fun it was! This book is, by far, the most hilarious book in the series. From sassy Harry to Lee Jordan's commentary, everything! So P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S.

7. FAVE NEW TO YOU OR DEBUT AUTHOR

I have to go on Angie Thomas on this one, for sure. She wrote The Hate U Give, which was her debut novel. And it was just mindblowing! This novel is so powerful and beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. The writing is absolutely amazing! This book should be read by everyone in the world.

8.YOUR NEW FICTIONAL CRUSH

For those of you who read the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas, or have seen it around bookstagram, you'd know that Rhysand is the total book-boyfriend ever. Well yeah, he is, but after reading A Court of Wings and Ruin, I'm totally swooning over Cassian.You know what I'm talking about ;)

9. BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY

For the record, this book made me cry for the first time when I'm reading books, ever. The story is just so beautiful and touching and so well written. And of course, I love the character so much! Auggie is such a sweetheart.

10. A BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY

This book just gave me all the warm, happy feeling, Almost 3/4 time when I read this I was going "aaawh". So cute!

11. FAVE BOOK TO MOVIE ADAPTATION YOU'VE SEEN THIS YEAR

I really really love the adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Not exactly a movie, but a tv series. I hadn't read the novel when I watched the show. I've been listening to the audiobook and I can say that the tv series it's a pretty dang good adaptation.

12. WHAT ARE THE BOOKS YOU NEED TO READ BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

- Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han

- Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab

- The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

- Monsters of Verity by VE Schwab

And many many more!

That's it! I hope you enjoy this post! Keep on reading!:)

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
