The End of Year Book Tag is always one that makes me chuckle. I’ve looked back at past posts I’ve done under this tag and, well, it is absolute chaos. Do I ever end up reading the books I name that I want to by the end of the year? Nope. Do I stick to any reading plans I have for the beginning of the next year? Of course not. But I enjoy doing it anyway so please join me in the End of the Year Book Tag for 2021.

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

Not particularly. I am a firm believer in the power of the DNF. If I start a book and don’t feel like finishing it, I just don’t. Not worth my time to push myself through something that I am not enjoying so I don’t tend to leave things sitting around partially read.

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

Every year I am stumped by this question. Do people pick a particular book to transition seasons? I am currently having a fantasy romance binge, does that count? I had deactivated my Kindle Unlimited in July and just this week reactivated it and, ya’ll, you can’t find any better dirty fantasy romance anywhere. Anyone have any adult/new adult fantasy romance recs? I like ’em graphic.

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

I cannot wait to read this first book in St. Clair’s new series. She does amazing adult fantasy romance and I can’t wait to see how she tackles vampires. Please. Give this to me now! I cannot wait until November 30.

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

That implies having a TBR. I’ve attempted having a TBR several times over the years and I always fail miserably at it. However, there are a couple of books that I hope to get to by the end of the year but we will see what happens.

• Vespertine (Vespertine #1) by Margaret Rogerson
• We Free the Stars (Sands of Arawiya #2) by Hafsah Faizal
• The First Sister (The First Sister Trilogy #1) by Linden A. Lewis

Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favourite book of the year?

I am anticipating giving both Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson and King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair both high ratings. Rogerson has never failed me and Battle and Blood sounds like it was written specifically to my tastes. Hopefully I end up adoring both but we will see!

Have you already started making reading plans for 2022?

Hah! No. I do have a list of upcoming releases for the 1st quarter of 2022 that interest me which isn’t complete yet. Here are a few of the books off of that list:

• A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft
• This Woven Kingdom by Taherah Mafi
• Electric Idol by Katee Rob ert
• The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout
• The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller
• An Impossible Imposter by Deanna Raybourn
• The City of Dusk by Tara Sim
• Elektra by Jennifer Saint
