1. BEST BOOK YOU'VE READ IN 2024 The Hidden Queen - Peter V Brett. He's a favourite author and it's a world I'm very invested in. The characters were fleshed out even further in this outing and the plot had me hooked all the way through 2. BEST SEQUEL OF 2024 SO FAR? Same as Q1. I've not read a lot of sequels yet this year 3. NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN’T READ YET BUT WANT TO? I have two and they're both autobiographies. Down with the System by Serj Tankian and The Man: Not your average girl by Becky Lynch I'm a huge System of a Down and WWE fan so these two are high on my to read list 4. MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THE SECOND HALF OF 2024 Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne. As good as Faithful and the Fallen was the Bloodsworn Saga is even better and I'm so excited to see how he wraps up the trilogy. 5. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT? Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner. I loved Godkiller so to be so down about book 2 hurt. It meandered along with no purpose and just felt like it was moving characters into position for the third book without having a plot of its own. 6. BIGGEST SURPRISE. My Lovely Wife - Samantha Downing. I picked it up on a whim and flew through it in a matter of days. So clever and a well crafted thriller 7. FAVORITE NEW AUTHOR (DEBUT OR NEW TO YOU)? James Logan - I'm very much looking forward to his second novel to see where he takes the story. 9. NEWEST FAVORITE CHARACTER(S)? Princess Donut - Dungeon Crawler Carl. To say anything more than the name would be a spoiler. But oh she is incredible 10. BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY None yet but given his track record I won't be surprised if John Gwynne destroys me emotionally 11. BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY A Hat full of Sky - Terry Pratchett. It's a re-read but the Tiffany Aching novels from Discworld fill me with so much joy. Insightful, funny and pure happiness wrapped up in a book 12. MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK YOU BOUGHT/RECEIVED THIS YEAR The Silverblood Promise by James Logan. Simply stunning. 13. WHAT BOOK DO YOU NEED TO READ BY THE END OF THE YEAR The Wheel of Osheim - Mark Lawrence. I'm really not a fan of Jalen so I need to finally finish the trilogy this year and decide whether I'm going to keep the books or just donate them.
My favorite book so far is The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, followed closely by Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez. My new releases I need to get to include The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center, and Funny Story by Emily Henry.
The best book I've read so far is a middle grade called The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle by Leslie Connor. My biggest disappointment was a John Irving book (my third) which has put that author on the never going to read another book by him pile. I did not like the last Simone St. James book I read (Cold Cases), so I'm hesitant to read the new one... maybe I'll get it from the library so it's easy to remove from my house if I hate it.
I got my mom You Like It Darker and she said it’s like Stephen King back to his roots-mostly dark horror and she’s enjoying it!

Hi Vicky! I enjoy this tag. I need to check out Smile. Also, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy Murder Road. I gave it 4 stars. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
