End of Year Survery 2015

End of Year Survery 2015

Jan 4, 2016
 
end of year survey 2015

Welcome, welcome to the End of Year survey 2015. This survey is hosted by the lovely Jamie at Perpetual Page Turner. 

I love doing this survey cause I can talk about all the books that I read throughout the year. I can fangirl and just spread the love for books that I couldn’t put down, made me smile and cry. I look forward to doing this survey every year now, it’s so fun to write my post and comment on everyone else’s. I like seeing what people love, what they didn’t like and I get to put more books on my TRB. 

So here we go. This is going to be a long post, so get a coffee, tea or what you like to drink and get comfy.

                                        Reading Stats

Number of Books Read

I am actually pretty happy with the amount of books that I have read this year – it’s less than a lot of other bloggers but hey. This also doesn’t included any re-reads. More books might be added to this in the next couple of days though.

Number of re-reads

I love re-reading. I don’t know what it is but it’s fun re-reading books and find new stuff that I didn’t read before. So I think the number of books that I re-read in 2015 is 30. 

genre you read the most from

I read quite a couple of contemporary books this year but I still think that Fantasy tops it.

The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes

I didn’t hate this book at all, but I didn’t love it. I heard so many things about it and I thought that I was going to love it like everyone else did, however I did like it. I just couldn’t really connect with the book like everyone else did. most surprising

          lux beg lux con lux opp
Lux Series by  Jennifer L. Armentrout

I didn’t expect to love this series as much as I did. I am not the biggest sci-fi/Alien fan – so I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the book, however I really loved them.

         book pushed

I don’t normally push books, if someone ask for a recommend a books, but I normally ask what they like to read or watch and then I can work out what I think they will like.

Both of these series are unputdownable, I just kept on reading and reading. They were so good. 

               what book to re-read

All the 5 Star books haha. I really don’t know. I re-read a lot, but it’s like a feel in the moment kind of thing so I never really plan it.

I love to read. Most of you guys reading this love to read. But there is some people who just cannot do it.

I think the reason for most people don’t like to read is because they haven’t found the right one to start with. It could also be because of school. I hated nearly all the books that I read it high school for many reason, from that I couldn’t related to the fact that I had to ‘study’ the book.

So today, I’m going to give all you non-readers and readers some YA book recommendations with a little twist.  A lot more people watch movies and tv shows than they do read books, so I’m going to give you ‘if you liked this movie/TV Shows – you will like this book.’ I have not included the book adaptations of some of these movies.

I hope that you enjoy and maybe read a few of these.

On the Reading Front, I read 10 books in June. I am pretty proud that I read that many books but when I don’t have any classes and all I am doing is sitting at home for a month.

I have also been going to the library a lot the past couple of months which is helping me read books that I have wanted to read for ages.

Life

So as I said before I was on break from uni. It’s been so good, I was so exhausted from my first semester and it was so good to have a break. So yes I have finished my first semester of uni and I loved it so much. I love my course so much, I learnt so much and cannot wait to learn more.

I also did some brave at the end of the month, something that I have wanted to do since I was 12 years old and I am so glad that I did it. If you follow me on social media you know what I am talking about. I got two tattoos!! I am in love with them so much and they are healing up nicely.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
