Okay, so technically it’s a little early for Christmas- though that and the end of the year are approaching at the speed of holiday shopping. So I thought I’d do the End of Year Tag originally created by Ariel Bisette over on Youtube.
It’s technically for books but I’m a tag rule bender so I’m adding movies to…
A book I need to Finish by the End of the Year
I haven’t made it past chapter one and truth be told… I haven’t really wanted to try again. Then somewhat along the lines of the disastrous-
Drugs actually make for dreadfully boring journal entries. I never like to say DNF but this one is probably headed in that direction.
A transition book to ease you into the end of the year?
I’m going to have to go with a classic answer here in books and movies:
I include the whole series but there’s something about them that just scream Christmas for me!
A new release I’m still waiting on:
That would be Aquaman of course.
Honestly, there’s a couple of big books coming out in January but nothing else I’ve been waiting on for the rest of 2018 so hopefully my wallet will get a book buying break.
One that could still be a favorite?
Hm…
I have high hopes for Skyward which is going to be my first Brandon Sanderson read. There’s also-
Dragonshadow- the sequel to Heartstone
A Pride and Prejudice retelling with dragons that I read and enjoyed earlier this year so hey- that’s also another book I’m looking forward to that’s still to come!
Have I started making plans for 2019?
Ah, the best laid plans and all that. Crazily enough yes I have though I’m trying to keep them vague for now and not get ahead of myself. I did go and buy a second planner solely for books, movies, shows and blogging (not that I use my planners now) so I’m prepared!
I remember seeing heartstone around, and thinking it looked pretty good- nice to see a sequel on the way. I should get Heartstone while I’m thinking of it…
It’s a fun quick read! Hoping the sequel stands up 🙂
I’m definitely going to be reading a HP book during Christmas! It’s something I always find myself doing. I’m quite excited for Aquaman too!
Harry Potter has become like a holiday classic! I think because everyone wants to spend winter at Hogwarts 🙂
Excellent list!🎄
Thanks!
Oooh, organised! I don’t get on with David Sedaris books either, I’d DNF it and start on Skyward, it’s amazing! 😊
I started Skyward last night before bed and somehow found myself 200 hundred pages in 🙂 Now this morning I was both tired and wanting to read instead of work!
That’s exactly what I did! My boyfriend had to drag my Kindle off me 😂😂😂. Hope you get through the day ok on not a lot of sleep! X
I am super excited for Dragon Shadow!! <3 And Aquaman 😀
HBO should make Heartstone a series after Thrones ends! They’ll need to do something with the dragons 🙂 I was going to say cast Jason as someone but now I’m thinking Tom Hardy would make a great dragon rider! Darn it now I’m not going to be able to get that out of my head!
I recently just finished reading the sequel to You. I was planning on reading Picnic at Hanging Rock next, but I changed my mind LoL. Still deciding on what to read next was thinking maybe Ready Player One.
I watched the first episode of Picnic at Hanging Rock but then meant to read the book 🙂 I should write these things down cause I forget! Ready Player One’s a good read to- especially if you’re busy. Enjoy whatever you decide!
How was the Picnic at Hanging Rock series? I’m going to read the book eventually and then watch the series. I was so planning on read that book next and then I started and just wasn’t in the mood for it, LoL. Indecisive reader of the books, LoL. Then I saw how many pages Ready Player One was and I didn’t feel like that at the moment either, LoL. I decided on To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han. I’ve been reading a lot of thrillers lately with You and the sequel to You, so I thought I changed the genre of books for the moment. Read 10 pages so far, and it’s good so far. I can’t wait to watch the Netflix movie too afterwards.
The Netflix movie was great fun! I loved Peter in that I’m hoping they get to make the other two books even though I’ve heard mixed things about them 🙂
Cool! I’ve been wanting to read this book for awhile and watch the movie so I just figured I start already reading it, LoL. I like that there are sequels to this book cause now I don’t have to decide on what to read next cause there’s a sequel, LoL.
Oh hello there, Jason Momoa!
…..
…
Okay, I easily get distracted 😉
‘Skyward’ is probably going to be my favourite read this year – I hope you enjoy it just as much!
And I agree on the Potters.. They are perfect Christmas books! I re-read them all again recently and will do so again in the future (without book 7 haha)
I’m really enjoying Skyward. Almost to the end but that feeling of oh, no when I finish all I can do is wait so I better start taking my time is already starting to set in 🙂 I’ve always passed on Sanderson because his books are so darned large but I’ve speed through this one so fast I might have to give him another look!
I have high hopes for skyward too!
It was really good! Like 4.5 stars really good beginning to the series and now I’m going to have to check out more Sanderson!
Awesome!!
Eagerly awaiting Aquaman too haha
For now I’m contenting myself with all the promotion 🙂
Oh I love planners… I have quite a few of them but usually just admire them than use them. 😂🙈
By the way anything Harry Potter related screams Christmas to me too! I’m already so psyched for Christmas lol. Just started listening to Christmas music.. 😊
Me too! It’s kind of sad really all the half-filled planners that I have like did I give up on 2017? Do I not like the month of May? And Christmas music is awesome already started listening to it myself 🙂
I think Skyward could very well be a new fave for me too! 🙂
Actual planners usually stress me out, so i try to not make plans in general, hehe 😀
Skyward was really good! Already looking forward to book two 🙂
I get this feeling that you really like Jason Mamoa 😉
I’m trying not to be over the top as Aquaman actually approaches 🙂
