Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag: 2024 Edition!

Hi, everyone! I know I haven't blogged in awhile. I talked a little bit about why on social media, but long story short, my health has not been great, and my computer no longer works, so I have to use my kindle fire tablet to blog, which has taken time to get used to working with. But I miss blogging! I've had plans to return for awhile, and I decided why not with the Mid Year Tag? 

And yes, I realize that this is going up the last day of July, which is technically past the mid year mark, but I'm posting it anyway. :P

Best book you’ve read so far in 2024?


I thought a lot about what book to put for this answer, and I decided to go with FATAL FIRST EDITION by Jenn McKinlay, the 14th book in the Library Lover's series. I read this book with my Mom (this is her favorite series), and I loved discussing it with her while we read! Also, it was another fantastic book featuring Lindsey, Sully, and their friends. And part of the book takes place on a train? I want more books, particularly mysteries, to feature trains! The vibes are perfect.




Best sequel you've read so far in 2024?


The 14th Library Lover's mystery, see above! :)


New release you haven't read yet, but want to?

There are many, many books I could list here, but I really want to read THE LOVE REMEDY by Elizabeth Everett, and


Most anticipated release for the second half of the year?

Is it too much if I say the next Library Lover's book, A MERRY LITTLE MURDER PLOT? :)


Biggest disappointment?

I don't want to answer this question...

Biggest surprise?

I'm going to go with a Picture Book for this one, and say A BEAR, A BEE, AND A HONEY TREE by Daniel Bernstrom and Brandon James Scott. I went into this with no expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it! This was a delightful PB, that told an adorable story about a bear, with very few words. I highly recommend it!


Favorite new author (debut or new to you)?

Ravena Guron! I read an e-ARC of THIS BOOK KILLS from the publisher (Look for my review in September!), and loved it! I really look forward to reading more by this author.


Newest fictional crush?

I really loved Max from HAPPILY NEVER AFTER by Lynn Painter!

Newest favorite character?


Sophie and Max from HAPPILY NEVER AFTER were both great!

Book that made you cry?

I know there have been multiple books this year, but I don't remember which ones at the moment...


Book that made you happy?

All the ones I've mentioned here!


Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received)?

I haven't bought many physical books this year, so I don't know what to put here? *ponders*

What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

ALL OF THEM. But honestly, I have so many I want/need to read!



What books have been your favorite (so far) in 2024? :)

Midyear Book Freakout Tag!

Hi, everyone! I'm filling out my answers to the Midyear Book Freakout today.

best book you’ve read so far this year?

I've had good luck with books this year, and read some really great books! But my answer for this one is In Myrtle Peril by Elizabeth C. Bunce. It released towards the end of 2022, and I saved it to be my first read of 2023, because I just knew I would love it. And I was right!


best sequel you’ve read so far this year

Okay, I could say In Myrtle Peril again, but for this answer I'm going to go with Curds of Prey by Korina Moss, which is the 3rd book in the Cheese Shop Mysteries. I love this cozy series!


BUT I also want to mention A Love by Design by Elizabeth Everett, which was the 3rd (and final) book in The Secret Scientists of London series. I love all three books in this series so much, and I had to mention this final novel. (Also, I can't wait for Elizabeth's new series beginning next year!)


new release you haven’t read yet but want to?

*laughs* There are A LOT of new releases I haven't read yet! BUT if I have to name just one.... *goes to look at Goodreads TBR shelf* I'm going to go with When You Wish Upon a Lantern by Gloria Chao, who is one of my favorite YA authors. I really look forward to reading it!


most anticipated release for the second half of the year?

Now after the first question I answered, you all know I have to say Myrtle, Means, and Opportunity by Elizabeth C. Bunce, which is the final (*insert sound of sobs*) book in the Myrtle series, and releases in October. I can't wait!


I also have to mention The Blonde Identity by Ally Carter! I grew up reading the Gallagher Girls books, and when I saw she was releasing an adult romance spy novel?? *heart eyes* I just know it's going to be so good. (releases in August!)


biggest disappointment?

I don't want to answer this question...

*skips to next one*

biggest surprise?

I'm going to say All Alone with You by Amelia Diane Coombs. It was a really good surprise! I went into it with really no expectations, because while I thought it sounded good, I didn't know much about it. And I ended up absolutely loving it! I can tell you this is now one of my favorite YA novels.


favorite new author (debut or new to you)?

This is a really difficult question to answer! I've read a lot of debut books this year, and also just a lot of authors who were new to me. I think I'm going to go with... No, I can't decide!

newest fictional crush?

There have been a few this year, but I really loved Ben from Summer Reading by Jenn McKinlay!


newest favorite character?

Pet from Codename Charming Lucy Parker! She was a delightful, quirky character that I loved reading the POV from. (And fun fact: Her love interest, Matthias, was who I almost answered the previous question with!)


book that made you cry?

There have been... a lot. But I'm going to go with It Found Us by Lindsay Currie. I don't want to spoil anyone, so I'll just say there was something towards the end of the book that made me cry. (I also just want to say that this was another wonderfully spooky book by Lindsay Currie!)


book that made you happy?

Woo Hoo! You're Doing Great! by Sandra Boynton! Her books made me so happy when I was little (And they still do! I read her books now, and I still love them.), and this book just made me happy.


most beautiful book you have acquired this year?

I haven't bought many physical copies of books this year...

what books do you need to read before the end of the year?

A lot. Like, a lot. *hides Goodreads TBR shelf from you all*

content creators you've been loving?

Besides all the blogs I still read, I've really been obsessed with booktube this year. A few of my favorite content creators there are Alexandra RoselynHaley Phamkatie is readingmegwithbooks, and oliviareadsalatte. I highly recommend all of their channels!

There we go! My answers to the tag. Now, tell me: What books have been your favorite so far this year? And if you watch booktube, who are your favorite creators there? :)

Highly Anticipated 2023 Releases!

Hi, everyone! I was going through my Goodreads TBR list, and I was thinking how many awesome sounding books are releasing next year. Which made me think, why not share some of the ones I'm looking forward to reading?! Now, I'm looking forward to so many books, but I wanted to keep this post from getting too long, so these are just a few I want to read. January 1st will have a much (like seriously a lot) longer post. Here are five MG, five YA, and five Adult books I'm highly anticipating next year!

(Also, I was going to write underneath each title why I'm looking forward to it, BUT that did not happen, so just know that if a book is here it's because I'm truly looking forward to it, and it is one of my most anticipated titles!)

May 2022 Books!


Hi, everyone! The book list for May releases is here. We have a biiiggggggg month for books, based on the list below! I hope these are useful to you, and that you enjoy reading them! Now, on to May 2022!

There many blogs who feature all the books releasing, and they do a fantastic job at it. I'm just going to feature books that I've already read, or that are on my TBR list! I will be breaking it down by Middle Grade, Young Adult, and Adult books, and I'll make a note if I've already read the book.

(Besides MG, YA, Adult, etc. these aren't in any particular order. If I got a date, cover, or something else wrong, please tell me and I'll try to fix it!)
