End-of-Year Book Tag

Time for another book tag! It's getting pretty close to the end of the year, which means that it's the perfect time for this wrapping-things-up tag. I also did this tag last year, but I think it's a great thing to do every year!
Are there any books you've started this year that you need to finish?
There are quite a few, especially ones that I've put down for who knows how long, but the two that I'm really planning on are THE ICE CREAM QUEEN OF ORCHARD STREET and MORE THAN WE CAN TELL.

Do you have an autumnal/wintery book to transition into the end of the year?
I was struggling to think of something for this, but then I remembered that I have TOIL & TROUBLE! It's a perfect anthology that I have to read before Halloween.

Is there a new release you're still waiting for?
Some of my most anticipated books of the year still haven't been released! PULP, THE RESOLUTIONS, and THE DISASTERS are all coming up in the next two months.

What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?
These books fall into three different categories: ECHO AFTER ECHO is an old ARC that I still haven't read, YOU ASKED FOR PERFECT is a new ARC that I want to read well before release date, and THE SHEPHERD'S CROWN is a book that I've been putting off reading for years. I think it's finally time for me to finish the Discworld series.

Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year?
There's nothing that I'm absolutely expecting to be a new favorite, but I have very high hopes for THE LADY'S GUIDE TO PETTICOATS AND PIRACY by Mackenzi Lee. I'm not totally sure that I'll get to it before the end of the year, but based on how much I loved Felicity in the first book, I'm definitely going to enjoy it.

Have you already started making reading plans for 2019?
My only plan so far is to make a very low Goodreads goal, because I have not done too well on this year's so far. And according to my post last year, this is the goal I set in order to not have any end-of-the-year panic. Ha!
How is your reading year going? Tell me in the comments!

Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Getting for Chanukah

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Books You Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under Your Tree (with a slight alteration). I'm probably one of the easiest people to shop for. If you have the link to my Goodreads, you're basically guaranteed to get me something I'll like. (And even if you don't, I'm really not hard to please.) But, of course, there are some books that I'm more excited for than others. Here are ten that I would be absolutely thrilled to get as gifts this year. GEMINA by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: The more I think about how great this book is going to be, the more I want it. And it's so pretty! P.S. I LIKE YOU by Kasie West: I love Kasie West! Her contemporaries are all so adorable - I can't believe I haven't read this one yet. THE SECRET KEEPERS by Trenton Lee Stewart: Finally, another book from the author of my favorite middle grade series ever! I...

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha...

Thoughts on Required Reading, Part 2

Last year, I did a post about my thoughts on required reading. This is a rough follow-up to that. It's that time of year again - the start of a new semester! I know my school starts later than most, so if you're a student, you've probably already started. But I just started my classes a couple of days ago...which explains why my Friday post is going up on a day that's definitely not Friday. (Oh, well.) It also means that it's the perfect time to talk about required reading again. Quick recap of the last post: I was required to reread PRIDE AND PREJUDICE , which I'd originally read on my own and loved, and hated it. Update: last semester, I was required to reread THE GREAT GATSBY , another book that I'd originally loved. But this time, the required reread made me love the book even more. But I can't put my finger on anything that made rereading the two books different, except for the fact that I already knew I wanted to reread Gatsby at some p...
