Midyear Book FREAK OUT Tag

Perhaps you’ve seen the midyear book freak out tag making its rounds on YouTube. I know I’ve seen quite a few of them myself. Well, I participated today. I’ll drop the video at the end of this post, but here’s your behind the scenes fun facts. 


I mentioned I’ve rated 13 books 5-stars. Here’s that list. 

  • Bits & Pieces by Dawn Hosmer
  • The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty
  • A Pale Shade of Winter by LB Stimson
  • Falling for Wolfe by Dawn Marie Clifton
  • Don’t Check Out This Book by Kate Klise
  • Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
  • The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
  • Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
  • The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend
  • Donn’s Hill by Caryn Larrinaga
  • Last Memoria by Rachel Emma Shaw
  • Donn’s Shadow by Caryn Larrinaga
  • A Little Insurrection Now & Then by Tom Leveen

I mentioned my book haul for last week. 

  • Purchased 4?
    • The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
    • Lethal White by Robert Galbraith
    • The Emancipation of Robert Sadler by Robert Sadler
    • Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
  • Won 3 in Giveaways?
    • Slow Wanes the Night by Catherine Labadie
    • A Turn of the Wheel by Catherine Labadie
    • Super Doll by Erin Schulz
  • Borrowed 1?
    • Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I mentioned I rated 3 books 1-star this year. 

  • The Girl in the Converse Shoes by Yaritza Garcia
  • Temptation by Karen Ann Hopkins
  • Alien Heredity by J Franklin Green

I mentioned 5 books have made me cry.

  • A Little Insurrection Now & Then by Tom Leveen
  • Mercy Rule by Tom Leveen
  • Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
  • Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson 
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling

For the rest of the list (11 review requests, 56 I already purchased, and 15 review requests for 2021) I’m going to direct you to my Goodreads. There’s almost 400 titles on my Want to Read list right now so plenty of things that I’m planning to read. Do you know I realized I could read at my speed without adding anything new to my list for 4 years to read this whole TBR? That’s shocking, isn’t it? 


Alright, I’m going to go read. Enjoy the video.
