BEST BOOK YOU’VE READ YET IN 2020
The Heir Affair (The Royal We #2) by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan and Beach Read by Emily Henry.
BEST SEQUEL YOU’VE READ SO FAR IN 2020
Since I already mentioned The Heir Affair, I’ll go with Wild at Heart (The Simple Wild #2) by K.A. Tucker.
NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN’T READ YET BUT WANT TO
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. I actually bought this just after it came out, but still haven’t read it.
MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR
The Silent Wife (Will Trent #10) by Karin Slaughter
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT
Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier. I’m in the minority here, but it didn’t come close to living up to my expectations. It read a lot more like Women’s Fiction than Mystery/Thriller to me.
BIGGEST SURPRISE
The F List by Alessandra Torree. I expected nothing from this, but LOVED it.
FAVORITE NEW AUTHOR
Karla Sorensen
NEWEST FICTIONAL CRUSH
Dallas from Wait For It by Mariana Zapata.
NEWEST FAVORITE CHARACTER
Caden from Anti-Stepbrother by Tijan.
BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY
I don’t think I’ve cried at any books yet this year. My cold, black heart remains intact.
BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY
The Honey-Don’t List by Christina Lauren.
FAVORITE BOOK TO FILM ADAPTATION
So I haven’t actually read these books, but I did enjoy the Netflix show that’s based on the books by Sherryl Woods- The Sweet Magnolias
MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK YOU’VE BOUGHT THIS YEAR
I actually do not buy a lot of books. I did pick up The Simple Wild ebook when it was on sale, though.
WHAT BOOKS DO YOU NEED TO READ BY THE END OF THE YEAR
Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell
Midnight Sun (Twilight #5) by Stephenie Meyer
Outsider (Kate Burkholder #12) by Linda Castillo
Yours to Keep (Man of the Year #2) by Lauren Layne
You have some fab-sounding books in your post! I recently bought Beach Read so I’m even more keen to pick it up now. I’m reading Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell at the moment and really enjoying it so far.
I hope you love Beach Read! If you have not been warned already, it’s not quite the light and fluffy contemporary it appears to be. It completely worked out fine for me, but I know some people who went in expecting it to be a lot different and they ended up not liking it. And I’m so looking forward to the Lisa Jewell book! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far!
Thanks for the warning about Beach Read, I think I had heard something about it not being as light and fluffy as it sounded. It still sounds good though but I’ll keep it for when I’m in the right mood. x
I got so excited to see Caden made your list!!! I would love more books set in that world. I’m sad Hillier’s book was your biggest disappointment. 😦 This was fun to read!
I just love Caden! I thought that book was the least crazy of all her books I’ve read and wouldn’t mind a few more like it! I know I’m in the minority with that Hillier book.
I still want to watch The Sweet Magnolia show! I love your choices!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy Sweet Magnolias!
Thanks!
