THE END OF YEAR BOOK TAG
I’ve seen this book tag on several book blogs (the most recent here ) and thought it was worth doing, to refocus on what needs to finished this month. This tag was first created by Ariel Bisset over on Youtube!
I still have several books needed for the reading challenges I have been working on and so will be busy finishing these.
Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?
Yes! Too many! I have started quite a few – only to put them aside when the mood changed and I needed a different book. It has been the kind of year where mood reading has dominated, as well as rereading, which I hardly ever used to do. I know I won’t get to many of them before the end of the year, but eventually will read them
I hope to finish the following tho:
Keep it Moving by Twyla Tharp
The Deadly Hours – an historical fiction anthology
The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans
Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?
I’ve had several books on hold at the library that I have been waiting for, for awhile.
Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews
Archangel’s Sun by Nalini Singh
Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean
What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?
At least 2 of the above, as well as
Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
What are books you need to read before the end of the year to complete your reading challenges?
I have 10 must reads to finish my challenges. Doable, as I am able to read at least 20 books a month (one of the joys of being retired!)
Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King
Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
One Thousand Paper Cranes by Takyuki Ishii
The Spy by Paulo Coelho
A Medical thriller
Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favourite book of the year?
Not really, as I have read so many amazing books this year.
Have you already started making reading plans for 2021?
Yes. I have chosen the reading challenges I plan to participate in next year and have started to make lists for the different categories in my notebooks.
I have also bought my new weekly/monthly reading log. I have started making a list of the first books I hope to read from my overflowing TBR shelves.
As well, I am working on my reading goals for the new year – number of books I hope to read for example.
How will your reading shape up this last month of 2020??
