We have made it halfway through the year. So it seemed a good time to do the Mid Year Freak Out Tag. This tag was created by IsThatChami link to the original video.
Now onto the Questions.
My reading year so far
So far this year I have read 60 books!
Best Book You’ve Read So Far In 2019
Wow this is a really hard decision but I am going to go with:
Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far In 2019
I did not read very many sequels so it was really hard to choose between them.
New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To
Just to name a few:
Most Anticipated Release For The Second Half Of The Year
Biggest Disappointment
Biggest Surprise
I really did not expect this book to have such an effect on me.
New Favorite Author (Debut Or New To You)
Alison Goodman
Underrated Gems You’ve Discovered Recently
Rereads This Year
Book That Made You Cry
I do not read things that make me cry.
Book That Made You Happy
Most Beautiful Book You’ve Bought So Far This Year (Or Received)
Goals For The Rest Of The Year
I know this year I really wanted to focus mainly on my backlist but I have acquired some really awesome books and I may focus the second half of the year reading them.
Today we are doing The Holiday Drinks Book Tag. I was tagged by the wonderful Consu @ The Paper Eyed Girl. If you have not checked her out I really urge you to do so.
1. Hot Chocolate: Marshmallows and chocolate and whipped cream, oh my! Recommend a book that’s sweet through and through.
I really loved this book.
2. Peppermint Mocha: The flavor of peppermint is strong and distinct. Recommend a book with a lot of strong emotions.
3. Apple Cider: It’s so good it can’t be good for you, but it’s from apples—that means it’s healthy, right? Recommend a book full of characters with questionable morals.
4. Eggnog: It’s creamy and smooth, with a little spice, and some people even add alcohol to it. Recommend a book that’s mostly fun, with just a hint of danger.
5. Gingerbread Latte: A drink with a veritable explosion of spices. Recommend a book with a lot of action.
So I may have stretched a little on some of these. But I am sticking to them!
If you have not been tagged and want to do this consider yourself tagged.
I was tagged by the amazing Brittney @ Perfectly Tolerable to do the 3 Day Lyrical Challenge. Since I have done this before I am going to put a Christmas twist on this one and find Christmas songs. This was more of a challenge than you would think because I usually only listen to instrumental Christmas music.
I wanted to end this on a fun note. My dad loved Jeff Foxworthy when I was growing up so this was something that I have heard over and over again.

Earring that double as fishing hooks or if you can burp the entire chorus of Jingle Bells
Perhaps you think the Nutcracker is something you did off the high dive
Or if you’ve ever misspelled something in Christmas lights, or if you leave cold beer
And pickled eggs for Santa Claus

Song: Carol of the Bells – Celtic Woman
Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away
Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold,
Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O’er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send,
On without end,
Their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong

Song: Hallelujah – Pentatonix
I’d heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well baby, I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
But I will have it read by the end of the year.
I have never used Netgally.
