Mid Year Reading Survey

 

2022 Mid-Year Reading Survey Questions:

Well, it is half-way through the year already! I haven't been reading the much, but I still like to do this tag every year.

Best book you’ve read so far in 2022

- I'm not sure yet, though one I enjoyed the most was my reread of the Harry Potter books.

Best sequel you've read so far in 2022

- That would have to be Where the Drowned Girls Go, as it is the only sequel I've read so far this year.

Favourite re-read.

- Well I just answered this for question one, but another great one was The Shadows Between Us

New release you haven't read yet, but want to.

- Gilded, still left on my TBR from last year

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year.

- Final Gambit or My Imaginary Mary

Biggest disappointment.

- Maybe The Hunting Party

Biggest surprise.

- Maybe The Good Girl's Guide to Murder

Favourite new author. (Debut or new to you)

- I don't have an answer for this, since I haven't exactly been reading that much this year

Newest favourite character.

- Way too tough of a question!

Book that made you cry.

- Haven't had one yet this year

Book that made you happy.

- Again, I'll bring up my reread of the Harry Potter series

Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received)

- I haven't bought any, maybe that's why I haven't been reading (that or my stopping of my Audible subscription...)

What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

- I'll say A Sky Beyond the Storm, which has been on my list since it came out, but it's a last in a series, which I instinctively seem to postpone

Favourite video or post you've done so far this year.

- Not sure!

Favourite book community members.

- I've been enjoying Kayla's videos on Books and Lala, same answer as last year I believe
