Well hello, there my little happy fiends!! Look it is another year gone by with me accomplishing nothing Go Me! But, I did read 109 Books this year so that's nice at least I do one productive thing with my life again, Go me!
Now there, I know you are getting all excited and leaning towards your laptop/pc/mobile/tab/broken piece of technology how is this even working yet? to just know what I read this year (in case you didn't know that already from this blog) And you know what my little honey muffins you're going to get exactly I picked up the questions from the perpetual page turner seriously bless the souls of these blogger who actually have creativity and make questions for lazy stupid people like me not that I'm not creative I do something creative sometimes like that time I wrote a poem about a sock yeah that was all me.
Anyhow, moving on to the questions let us get started!
It's nice to see that Goodreads has high hopes for me since clearly I don't I mean look at that I wanted to read only 40 books and how many did I read? well, there you go when someone asks you who's the most self-confident person you've ever met be sure to give my name folks!
1)Best Book You read in 2017
I'm considering that book as book(s) because we don't want me to have a mental breakdown now, do we?
So here are the glorious books of 2017 that I love to death gracing your eyes
*Remember if you click on the book covers you'll be teleported to the Goodreads page of the book so if any covers interest you feel free to click people!
** The ones with a ♥ will mean that I read the whole series(or the books released in it)this year only and loved all the books to death.

2) Books You were excited about and thought you were going to love more but didn't.
I didn't necessarily hate any of these books but I just expected more from these books and also I just realized that most of these are sequels, oh well no one is surprised here
3)Most surprising book you read this year
The reason I picked this up was that I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did I mean it had vampires in it and I literally have allergies from vampires because every book that I had read which was about vampires was the same story a glittery vampire misunderstood by everyone throw in some typical YA romance a little bit of action and hundreds of passages about how beautiful the vampire is and you find me dead in a corner in the puddle of my own tears from disappointment but this book was so refreshing with science and witches and stuff and just wow there it is in one of my favourites.
4)Best Series you started in 2017
I don't think I need to say more since I've been literally screaming all over my blog like a banshee how beautiful and great this book is on this blog.
5) Best sequel of 2017
Um...Yeah, I don't think I could be more obvious.6) Best series ender of 2017
No words.(even though I did say two words but whatever)7) Favourite new author, you discovered in 2017
I mean all of these authors are basically in my favorites section so yeah.
8) Best book from a genre you don't typically read/was out of your comfort zones.
Alright so I think you guys already know that I generally read fantasy books and throw in some contemporary and historical fiction but its mostly just fantasy and what I have realized is that I barely read any science fiction which is like a shame on me because dude I love science fiction but I just don't like reading science fiction I guess? Its just that when its science fiction authors can't portray things so vividly that you could just float in that story and be a part of that story but this book was it a treat it was so vivid and I could imagine everything so clearly that after finishing it I was literally curled up around this book wanting to absorb it all in.9) Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year
For this one I picked three books because dude all of these had so much action in A Conjuring of light Schwab is just playing death games with all the characters from the beginning and breaking every reader's soul makes me question why she is one of my favourite authors and the answer is don't ask I'm insane.
In certain dark things, our main character is literally being hunted from the start by a psychopath who is the literal definition of creep so there ya go.
And In The lies of Locke Lamora well, our characters are literally having a near-death experience in every chapter can't say there's no action in it.
10) Book you read in 2017 that you are most likely to Re-read next year
Um...Every one of them which isn't a standalone because I've got the memory of a goldfish although who am I kidding I'll just pretend that I remember everything from the previous book that's my life.
11) Favourite cover of a book you read in 2017
Oh! look at these pretty covers we can all pretend for a few minutes that this world is a beautiful place!
12) Most beautifully written book read in 2017
Just beautiful words can't portray how beautiful this book is go read it if you want to know
13)Most thought-provoking/life-changing book of the year.
With the amount of gushing I have been doing for this book I don't think this comes as a surprise to anyone.
14)Book you can't believe you waited UNTIL 2017 to finally read

17) Book that shocked you the most.
One is for character death(s) and one is for plot twist which one is for what find it out yourself.
18) OTP Of the year (you will go down with this ship!)
I'm not going for my standard answer in this one which is (of course) percabeth but for this one, I'd go with Ty and Kit from lord of shadows and damn they are so cute like the cuteness level is way more than it should have been
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 MY BABIES!!!19) Favorite Non-Romantic relationship
LOCKE AND JEAN just the best friendship ever both of them promising to kill the other one if he won't save himself just love them!

24) Book that made you cry or nearly cry this year.
And let the tornado of books come!
Fun fact I don't even know why I cried in Strange the dreamer it was just that Strange was just not doing anything and that bloody Theron was sauntering around with Strange's research and it just struck a chord in me I guess.
25) Book that Made you the most Mad
Just the way Audrey and Thomas handled their relationship through the book was so stupid that half of the time I wanted to slap both of them repeatedly and half of the time I was like STAHP!!!
I did enjoy the book though and they sorted everything out at the end so everything was well and good.
1) New Favourite Book Blog you discovered in 2017
2)Best discussion/non-review post you had on your blog
The You're not good enough book tag I had so much fun doing it I was looking for book tags and there it was in all its shiny-ness I just loved doing it and selecting characters and generally making hundred typos but it was fun!
3)Favourite review you wrote this year
Alright this one is kind of hard because I love all of my reviews and I just reviewing books because I like sharing my thoughts with you guys not with real humans like talking ew but yeah anyhow,since I have to pick one I'd pick two because I don't follow rules excuse me anyhow it would be the A court of Wings and Ruin one because I just had so much fun doing that one and the Eliza and Her Monsters one because well I feel like I had a lot to say about that book.
4)Best Event that You participated in
Now I'd just like to say that I don't go to events because I live under a rock but I do have to get out time and again to get food and stuff and during one of those periods I went to the book fair which was nice because there were whole shelves dedicated to cassandra clare and Rick Riordan making my heart happy and I was hopping around like an idiot from aisle to aisle acting like a total weirdo so much so that my parents wanted to sell me on ebay but you know me I can't help it.

So that was it people that was the End Of Year Book Survey mind you I did skip a few of the question so if you want to see all the questions then go to the perpetual page turner and help yourselves but seriously guys another year is over with all its craziness hope 2018 is a little less crazy but we'd be together to battle it down won't we? But do tell me how this year was for you guys did you fail heroically in your reading challenges too? I'd love to know your story! Anyhow, Happy New Year People!(Literally 3 days early, this is a change)🎇🎇🎇🎊🎊🎊
I don't look at challenges as failing. They are just for fun. I set my GR challenge for 300 and didn't meet it, but didn't sweat it. :) What I did read was, mostly, good and I was gaming when I wasn't reading and that was good too. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried Locke Lamora but I couldn't get into it. I think I need to try it again on my Kindle instead of an audiobook. I think at the time I just wasn't up for such a long audio. I do hear such great things about it.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your post. :) If you'd like to see it, here's my 2017 End of the Year Survery.
Well no joke you still read more than I ever could so Go you!(I should really stop saying this shouldn't eye) and gaming is great I most like rpg games though and do whatever makes you happy!
DeleteAnd I tried the audiobook too and lets just say its not the best one out there but you should definitely give the book a try!
I'd definitely check your post out!
Oh shoot did I just write 'I' as 'eye'? at this rate I'll create a new genre of typos titled "typos by stupid people" XD
