The Best, the Worst & the Most Anticipated 📚 Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag

And I'm kind of just intrigued by that. I love the title. I think it's so cool and I'm ready to try my first serious Chuck Tingle book cuz as much as I loved All I Want for Christmas Is to Eat Out My Christmas Tree, I would like to see what they have to offer on a serious note.

There were so many flashbacks and things that just bored the life out of me. I found it to be like a little bit ridiculous as well and I just didn't think the tone was consistent enough throughout for me to believe this story.

It really had me invested in the story of the main characters and it wasn't just fluff. It just felt so raw and I just freaking loved it.

And with Book Lovers, I found the main relationship to be incredibly weak and the plot of that book to be incredibly non-existent.

Considering the first book was my favorite book of 2023, I was so worried that I wouldn't like the sequel.

I think the humor is still great. The mystery itself is great.

So, they're the author of If We Were Villains, which I really enjoyed.

And kind of how those two worlds collide, and it was just so incredibly harrowing and just so beautifully detailed, and the writing was just gorgeous and wonderful.

With Book Lovers and Magnolia Parks, Magnolia Parks I wanted toxicity, not repetitive boredom.

I hate to say but I did find the writing incredibly lazy. The plot was extremely thin. The characters had no substance to them whatsoever.

I tried My Heart Is a Chainsaw and it was like a soft DNF for me. It wasn't the right time to read it and I do want to go back to it.

The fifth and the eighth books in The Princess Diaries series I gave one star. They were pretty terrible.

The fifth and the eighth books in The Princess Diaries series I gave one star. They were pretty terrible.

And the final book in that series actually got me tearing up. I was actually sobbing because of that book. It wrapped up so nicely, but also so sad.

Characters are some of my all-time favorites, and Anya is just so adorable and amazing. It got me started watching the anime, too, and it's just as wonderful as just reading it on the page.

I read Summer of the Children recently and I kind of liked it.

And I really do want to continue reading Paul Tremblay cuz I found that such an interesting and unique kind of read.

But I actually quite liked the first book. I thought it had enough of an interesting plot to carry me forward throughout that.

I had high hopes for it and then I started reading it and I got so bored. Like it was very boring.

There was like a really exciting storyline. It left me wigless, and I couldn't get over just like how much I actually ended up loving it.
