End Of The Year Book Tag

I love a good tag post, and recently I was tagged for the End Of The Year Book Tag by KB Book Reviews who, as you guess, reviews books! She writes some really great posts so I’d encourage you to check her out if you’re looking for books to add to your TBR.

Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?

There are three, as I keep getting distracted – the first is one I’ll be reviewing, which is Through The Wall by Caroline Corcoran. I’m also reading Ragdoll by Daniel Cole which I started at the end of November, and The Power Is Within You by Louise L. Hay which I started during the summer… Oops!

Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?

I don’t really coordinate my reading schedule with the seasons so the answer to this is no. If I’m honest I didn’t actually realise it was a thing until recently, but kind of tempted to do it for next year!

Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?

Okay, I’m going to admit here that I have no idea what’s out in 2020 (I’m a bad book blogger, I know) but I’ve just had a quick glance at some anticipated releases and there’s a few that have really caught my eye! Here We Are by Graham Swift (a Booker Prize winner) sounds like a really fascinating and curious novel, and I also think I’ll be grabbing a copy of Olive by Emma Gannon when it hits the shelves, a novel about life choices such as deciding not to have children – something that I feel strongly should not be considered taboo.

What are the three books you need to read before the end of the year?

The three ones mentioned in the first comment! I’m also hoping to read Grown Ups by Marian Keyes, which I recently got accepted for on NetGalley, and Salvador Dalí at home by Jackie de Burca which will be the first book I review in January 2020.

Is there a book that could still shock you and become your favorite of the year?

I don’t know to be honest, as I’ve read some amazing books this year! There probably is, but it would have a hard job beating either Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano or Here To Stay by Mark Edwards.

Have you already started making reading plans for 2020?

Of course – I’m all booked up until April for book review requests already! I’ve mentioned Salvador Dalí At Home and Grown Ups, but I’ll also be reading three non-fiction – one travel, one health, and one food – and one fiction, plus I want to read more spiritual non-fiction and women’s fiction in my own time. I also want to read more new releases, as I usually get my books from charity shops or the library so I’ve never up to date with what’s just come out!

I tag:

• Coycaterpillar Reads
• I’m A Voracious Reader
• Alliee Reads
• Jenniely
• The Bibliophagist

Even if I haven’t tagged then please feel free to answer the questions anyway – let me know so I can check them out! Hopefully you enjoyed my answers, and here’s to another year jam packed with books.
