Mid Year Book Freak Out Book Tag

I am not sure who is the creator of this sorry about that. So moving on, there are several prompts so I will try to leave only a single answer for each one. 1. Best book you've read so far this year? The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch This was totally a booktube recommendation, initially it took me a while to get into but then I was super invested and in the end, I loved it! 2. Best sequel you've read so far? Based on the enjoyment I would say The Blinding knife and the broken eye by Brent Weeks, a slow-paced story but you really get to care about the characters that get to know them even if the plot is slow moving it continues to be interesting.  3. New release you haven't read yet? This one is easy I haven't read any jajajaja so I have a big list to pick from.  Top ones: The burning white by Brent Weeks. I started to read this series because of recommendation by several booktubers but overall it was a nice story, the characters just get you so invest...

Dream Thieves

Image
Author: Maggie Stiefvater  437 pages Genre:  Magical realism/Young Adult/Paranormal Book Description: Ronan Lynch has secrets. Some he keeps from others, some he kees from himself. One Secret: Ronan can bring things out of his dreams. And sometimes he's not the only one who wants those things. Ronan is one of the raven boys- a group of friends, practically brothers, searching for a dead king named Glendower, who they think is hidden somewhere in the hills by their elite private school, Anglionby Academy. The path to Glendower has long lived as an undercurrent beneath town. But now, like Ronan's secrets, it is beginning to rise to the surface- changing everything in its wake.  This story gives us a lot of development in the characters lives but the initial search for the king does progress a bit slower. Nevertheless, I just love the story, the little eye-opening happening to Blue, the girl is accepting her own feelings. the little clues that indicate the fut...

Shot trying to stop him, Valerie inadvertently saved the life of a classmate, but was implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create.

The Guest List

Image
Author: Lucy Foley Genre: Mystery/Thriller Original publication date: Book description: Set on a remote island off the Irish coast, this is one guest list no one would want to be on, just as no one would have wanted an invitation to the New Year's Eve party in Foley's previous novel, The Hunting Party. Lives unravel amid the revelry on an eerie and remote island as family and friends assemble for a glam wedding in an updated Murder on the Orient Express. Each of the principal characters has a reason to want one of their number dead, there are old secrets, and one of them is murdered. Thoughts: We follow a few different people, it is set up in two timelines one of them is the day of arriving at the island, some of the guests are invited to stay in the island since the day before the event takes place.  The main character is the bride, as in any wedding. She is a very self-centered and egotistical woman. She is very focused on her image and what the event is going to give her in...
