A few weeks ago I was tagged by Ann and Clare at Dual Reads to do this tag. I knew I wanted to get around to it, but was waiting until it was closer to mid-year. Bet that pug is freaking out too! Anyway, here we go.
1. Best Book You've Read So Far in 2017
I'd say it's a close tie between these two but "Certain Dark Things" probably has a tad bit of an edge. If you haven't read either of these, do so now and then send me a link to your gushing reviews (I'm THAT sure you'll like them).
2. Best Sequel You've Read So Far in 2017
I love the Veronica Speedwell mysteries and already can't wait for the next one (which I don't think even has a cover or a title yet but I may be wrong).
3. New Release You Haven't Read Yet But Want To
I can't wait to see what Dru and her friends are up to next.
4. Most Anticipated Release for Second Half of 2017
It's Stephen King...need I say more?
5. Biggest Disappointment
This book created a phenomenon I now call "The Little Heaven" effect - when you are anxious to read a book, want to love it, but find it boring as hell and it triggers a massive reading slump.
6. Biggest Surprise
I figured the odds were good I'd like this one but I had no idea how much.
7. Favorite New Author
I liked "The Jersey Devil" when I read it last year but "Just Add Water" cemented Shea in the "have to read everything he writes" category.
8. Newest Fictional Crush
Definitely Martin the dog!
9. Newest Favorite Character
Not really a NEW favorite, but definitely one worth mentioning!
10. Book That Made You Cry
Still a huge loss and so sad that such a talented man is gone.
11. Book That Made You Happy
How can a book which feature a dog who thinks he's Elvis reincarnated AND who writes his own chapters NOT make me happy???
12. Favorite Book to Movie Adaptation You've Seen So Far in 2017
They are supposedly making a movie adaptation of this graphic novel series so does that count?
13. Favorite Review You've Written So Far in 2017
It's also gotten the most "likes" on Goodreads.
14. Most Beautiful Book You've Bought So Far This Year
It's hard to tell from the picture but the cover is a collage of all things Prince (pictures, album covers, people in his life, etc) put together to make his picture.
So I'm not really going to tag anyone but if you are interested in doing this, please leave me a link so I can check out your post!
