2018 End of the Year Book Survey, Pt. 2

looking-ahead-books-2015

 

 

I am terrible at picking just one, so I'm not even going to try. I've got a lot of books I'm looking forward to reading.

 

1. One Book You Didn’t Get To In 2018 But Will Be Your Number 1 Priority in 2019?

These are by authors I've read before whose new books I really want to read.

Evermore - Sara Holland  My Favorite Half-Night Stand - Christina Lauren  Little White Lies - Jennifer Lynn Barnes  A Duke by Default - Alyssa Cole  A Thousand Beginnings and Endings - Preeti Chhibber,Roshani Chokshi,Alyssa Wong,Aisha Saeed,Melissa de la Cruz,Sona Charaipotra,Elsie Chapman,Renee Ahdieh,Rahul Kanakia,Julie Kagawa,Shveta Thakrar,Aliette de Bodard,Cindy Gerard,Lori Foster,David G. Myers,Ellen Datlow  Fresh Ink - Lamar Giles  

And these caught my eye on book blogs.

American Panda - Gloria Chao  Always Never Yours - Austin Siegemund-Broka,Emily Wibberley  

 

2. Book You Are Most Anticipating For 2019 (non-debut)?

These are all by authors I like.

Slayer - Kiersten White Famous in a Small Town - Emma Mills That's Not What I Heard - Stephanie Kate Strohm  King of Scars - Leigh Bardugo  Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss - Kasie West Watch Us Rise - Renée Watson The Bride Test - Helen Hoang 

 

3. 2019 Debut You Are Most Anticipating?

Surprisingly, there are only two debuts that are really standing out for me at the moment. I'm sure more will pop onto my radar as the year goes.

Immoral Code - Lillian Clark Red, White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston 

 

 4. Series Ending/A Sequel You Are Most Anticipating in 2019?

The Wicked King - Holly Black A Duke in Disguise - Cat Sebastian 

 

5. One Thing You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2019?

I'm going to go with the same thing I said last year. I want to work on reading my physical books because they've piled up. I didn't buy as much in 2018 as in previous years, but I still bought more than I read of my physical books. The pile needs to go down.

2018 End of the Year Book Survey, Pt. 1

This survey is courtesy of The Perpetual Page-Turner. I did it last year and really enjoyed it, so I decided to do it again this year. Like last year, I'm splitting it into 2 parts. Part 1 will focus on looking back on my reading for 2018; part 2 will look ahead to 2019 and what books I'm looking forward to reading. I'm still bad at picking just one book, so don't be surprised to see multiple answers to some questions.

 

 

**2018 READING STATS**

 

Number Of Books You Read: 430
Number of Re-Reads: 3

 

best-YA-books-2014

1. Best Book You Read In 2018?

 This is always a tough one to choose, but I think I'm going to have to go with A False Report simply because it stuck with me the longest. And it just felt like an important book with some of the things going on this year.

A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America - T. Christian Miller,Ken Armstrong 

 

2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn’t?

I was so sure I would love every single one of these. I did not. Some I merely liked. Some I outright disliked.

 Snow Falling - Jane Gloriana Villanueva  Let's Talk About Love - Claire Kann  Leah on the Offbeat - Becky Albertalli  The Boyfriend Bracket - Kate Evangelista  Every Heart a Doorway - Seanan McGuire  Lizzie - Dawn Ius  Dear Evan Hansen: The Novel - Steven Levenson,Justin Paul,Benj Pasek,Val Emmich  

Social Intercourse - Greg Howard  The Silence of the Girls - Pat Barker  

 

 

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read?  

This book was a surprise in the best way, but the surprise is a major spoiler, so I'm not saying more.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkins Reid 

 

 4. Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read (And They Did)?

My book "pushing" has really just been handing books to people and telling them to read them because they will laugh. I only do it to a handful of people though.

A Day In The Life Of Marlon Bundo - Marlon Bundo,Jill Twiss,Richard Parsons   You Can't Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump (A So-Called Parody) - Alec Baldwin,Kurt Andersen

Best Sequel of 2018?

 I read 2 of Ibi Zoboi's books this year and have 2 anthologies that she's a part of on my TBR.

American Street - Ibi Zoboi  Pride - Ibi Zoboi  

I'd never actually read any of Tessa Dare's books before 2018. I changed that this year by reading 4 of her books. I intend to read more of her work because her romances are right up my alley.

The Duchess Deal - Tessa Dare  Romancing the Duke - Tessa Dare  Say Yes to the Marquess: Castles Ever After - Tessa Dare  The Governess Game - Tessa Dare  

 

7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone?

I'm not a big poetry person. It's just not my thing and is often a miss for me when I do try it. But I loved this.

The Witch Doesn't Burn in this One - Amanda Lovelace   

 

8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?

These were the books of 2018 that I couldn't put down. When life forced me to put them down, I was constantly wondering when I would be able to get back to them.

9. Book You Read In 2018 That You Would Be MOST Likely To Re-Read Next Year?

10. Favorite cover of a book you read in 2018?

13. Most Thought-Provoking/ Life-Changing Book of 2018?

I read a number of books that made me think on various issues, but I'm going to go with these two books for highlighting topics I had less familiarity with - the US justice system's injustices.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkins Reid - Evelyn Hugo

 

23. Best 2018 debut you read?

 It's a tie for best 2018 debuts for me. Both are YA. Everless is a fantasy that was published right at the beginning of the year, while Darius the Great is Not Okay is a contemporary that was published in August.

Everless - Sara Holland  Darius the Great is Not Okay - Adib Khorram  

 

24. Best Worldbuilding/Most Vivid Setting You Read This Year?

Everless is set in a world where time is literally money and can be taken from a person through one's blood to shorten one's life. The book did a good job of showing how it all worked and exploring how it would affect people.

 Everless - Sara Holland  

 

25. Book That Put A Smile On Your Face/Was The Most FUN To Read?

The first book is for just being so cute; the second book is for being hilarious.

26. Book That Made You Cry Or Nearly Cry in 2018?

It's a book dealing with depression - both the main character's and his father's. I definitely teared up.

Darius the Great is Not Okay - Adib Khorram 

 

27. Hidden Gem Of The Year?

 My favorite read that no one knows.

Bodysuit Fetish - Uni Yamasaki 

 

28. Book That Crushed Your Soul?

I laughed while reading this, but only because my soul was also being crushed by the fact that it actually happened.

Whose Boat Is This Boat?: Comments That Don't Help in the Aftermath of a Hurricane - The Staff of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 

 

29. Most Unique Book You Read In 2018?

None of my other books included fake mustaches. This one had multiple.

How to Be Successful without Hurting Men's Feelings - Sarah Cooper 

 

30. Book That Made You The Most Mad (doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t like it)?
