Mid-Year Book Freak-Out Tag 2024 🙋👀

-

We've reached the middle of 2024 (🎉😐), so there is only one thing to do: answer the mid-year book freak-out tag questions. This is my first time trying it, but I hope that it can become a tradition in this blog. 

Before we start, let me present a brief recap of my reading year so far:

Books Read: 23 

5-Star Books: 1 

Also, here are some rules to make things interesting: 

  1. Only one book-answer per question. 
  2. Don't repeat books. 

Enough with the chit-chat; let's get to the mid-year book freak-out tag!

Mid-Year Book Freak-Out Tag 

Q: Best Book You've Read So Far in 2024? 

This has to be one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read, and it's The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr.

Q: Best Sequel You've Read So Far in 2024? 

I've read only one sequel, but it was a fun time. It was the second book in Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series, The Viscount Who Loved Me. 

Q: New Release That You Haven't Read But Want To? 

Bride by Ali Hazelwood. A paranormal romance by the queen of sweet STEM romances? Yes, please!

Q: Most Anticipated Release for the Second Half of the Year? 

Honestly, I don't keep up with new releases. The only book that comes to mind is Intermezzo by Salley Rooney. 

Q: Biggest Surprise?

My biggest surprise is a book that I randomly picked from the library because it sounded interesting, but I wasn't expecting much because I had heard nothing about it. However, it is my only 5-star for 2024 so far, and it is Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo. *Trigger Warning: Difficulty with getting pregnant*

Q: Favourite New Author (debut or new to you)? 

The first book that I read in 2024 was Anxious People, and I understood why so many people love Fredrik Backman. Now I love him too!

Q: Newest Fictional Crush? 

Colin Bridgerton was a secondary character in The Duke and I. I loved him from the first book of the Bridgerton series, and I can't wait to get to his book!

Q: A Book that Made You Cry?

I rarely cry when I read books, but there was a scene in The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston that teared me up because it was sad and sweet at the same time. 

Q: A Book that Made You Happy? 

Love on the Brain was a cute romance that made my romance-loving heart very happy. 

Q: Most Beautiful Book You've Bought This Year? 

This is a book written by Konstantinos Theotokis in the early 20th century, and it's called Illegal Love. 

Q: What Book Do You Need To Read By The End of the Year? 

There are MANY books that I want to read in 2024, but the one that comes first to mind is Dracula by Bram Stoker.

And that was the last question of the mid-year book freak-out tag. I would love to read your answers to these questions so that we can talk books in the comments!!!

P.S. I borrowed the questions from Rachel's mid-year book tag video.

Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata 📙 REVIEW

  A literary gem that deals with the inner conflict a person feels when they are happy with the life they are leading but society has labeled them weird and abnormal.  Keiko has been working at a convenient store for all her life. She has never fallen in love, and she has never had a boyfriend. Her family and friends cannot stop thinking that it is weird that she is thirty-six years old but she hasn't gotten married or gotten a better job yet. Will Keiko ever be normal?  Keiko narrates her story of how she has always been considered weird despite her efforts to act normal. The only place where she feels as part of a group and she can be useful is at the convenience store where she has been working for eighteen years. The writing style is a first person narration, and we are inside Keiko's mind. What is intriguing about this point of view is that we get a brutally honest and emotionless voice which expresses how Keiko keeps trying to understand how society works and to bec...

I have to be honest and say from the beginning that you shouldn't expect any crazy number; I usually read 3 to 5 books a month. So, I'm going to stop with this introductory blab and just talk about the books I read in March.
