1 – The Best Book You’ve Read So Far In 2017
Well, I didn’t have to think hard about that question. The
best book I’ve read so far this year is definitely ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’
by Sarah J. Maas. Off course I was way late in starting this series, but I
devoured this book. I really loved everything about this story and the
characters. It was honestly one of the
best Fantasy books I’ve read in at least a year. And I really can’t wait to
read the next books in this series.

2 – You’re Favorite Sequel This Year
My
favorite sequel I read this year so far is definitely ‘Every Little Thing’ by
Samantha Young. This is a Contemporary Romance book and the second one in the
Hart’s Boardwalk series. I love Samantha Young’s writing. And this series is
just amazing. I read the first book in this series ‘The One Real Thing’ in November
of 2016 and couldn’t wait to read the next book. These books are centered
around characters who life in the small town of Hartwell and if you haven’t
read it you really should start reading as soon as possible.

3 – A New Release You Haven’t Read But Really Want To
One of the
newest releases I really want to read but haven’t yet is ‘Come Sundown’ by Nora
Roberts. I love Nora Roberts, and in the last view years I’ve read several of
her books. Her writing is just so exciting and thrilling and I really need to
read this book. And don’t you just love this cover by Piatkus.
4 – Most Anticipated Release For The Second Half of the Year
One of the
books I’m really looking forward to read this year is the new J.D. Robb novel
that will be published in September ‘Secrets In Death’. Although I haven’t read
all the book in the In Death series I really loved the books I did read and I
can’t wait to read more Lieutenant Eve Dallas.

5 – Biggest Disappointment
I think my
biggest disappointment this year so far has got to be ‘Two by Two’ by Nicholas
Sparks. I love Nicholas Sparks and I was so excited to read this new book by
him. But unfortunately I had many issues with this read. For one the characters
weren’t very easy to like at all. This book got better near the end, but I
really had my hopes set up much higher for this one.

6 – Biggest Surprise
My biggest
surprise this year is definitely ‘Silent Waters’ by Brittainy C. Cherry. I
listened to this one on audio, and what an amazing story it was. I was literarily
blown away by this one. ‘Silent Waters’ is definitely a book I’ll remember for
a long time.

7 – Favorite New Author (Debut Or New To You)
My
favorite new author is definitely Sarah J. Maas. Like I said before I just
loved her book ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’, and I really want to read more
books by her. She had such an amazing way of writing, I just need more!

8 – Your New Fictional Crush
My
favorite book crush this year so far is definitely Brooks from ‘Silent Waters‘.
What an amazing character. I loved how kind, sweet and loving he was and I just
couldn’t read enough about him. If only more people would be like him, this
world would be a much better place. Definitely a swoon-worthy character.

9 – A Book That Made You Cry
Hmm.. I haven’t cried about a book this year so far to be honest. I cried while reading ‘Me Before You’, but that was last year. No bookish tears so far..
10 – A Book That Made You Happy
There are
many books that make me happy. But one of the books I remember making me feel
happy lately was ‘A Tapping At My Door‘ by David Jackson. I was really in the
mood for a good Crime novel, and this book was really really good. And definitely
a series I want to read more books of.

11 – Your Favorite Book To Movie Adaption That You’ve Seen This Year
Although I
looooove movies. I haven’t seen many new movies lately. Planning our wedding
took away all my movie watching time. So no book to movie adaptions this year so
far for me.

13 – The Most Beautiful Book You Have Bought/ Received This Year
The most
beautiful book I received was definitely ‘Talking As Fast As I Can‘ by Lauren
Graham. The book isn’t exactly beautiful, but it is really fun to read. And as
a huge Gilmore Girls fan I was super excited to be able to receive this book in
exchange for a review. I couldn’t stop talking about is for weeks.

I've never read any of Sarah Maah's books but I see in the book blogosphere that they are incredibly popular. Since you have put it as your top book of 2017 I will definitely have to read that one soon!
Silent Waters looks really good too!
So glad you did this tag! Yay!
Jo-Ann
You definitely should Jo-Ann. I also waited a long time before I finally read a Sarah Maas novel and it was sooooo good! 😀
'Silent Waters' was really a very beautiful book. I listened to it on Audio and it was great.
Thanks for tagging me and visiting! 😉
Fun tag! I'm tempted to give Sarah Maas a try since her books are SO popular! Plus I need more YA fantasy. 🙂 And love that cover for Secrets in Death!
Glad your My Favorites feature is doing well too. It's a great idea!
Thanks for tagging me!!
Thanks Greg. The My Favorites Feature is definitely going better and better. I love it.
I really want to read more Sarah Maas novels since I read that one. What a great book.
Thanks for stopping by! 😉
I still haven't read any Sarah J. Maas, but they are on my TBR list 🙂
I will soon start something that's kind of similar to your favorite post… I had the idea for mine last year – before you started with yours – but then, both because you started with yours, and because I've been so busy, I put it on hold. Mine will be only book based, and about favorite stuff from books read in the past month 🙂
Have a great weekend, Maureen!

Thanks for stopping by.
I just need to find the time to actually do it 😉
