The Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag

I've seen this tag floating around so many other blogs and it's been forever since I've done a tag, so I caved and decided to do this one. It looks so fun and 10/10 would recommend doing it. I decided to do it after visiting Reading Through the Nights. It's a lovely blog, you should check it out. The tag was originally created by ReadLikeWildfire and Earl Grey Books.

If you haven't done this tag yet and you want to I tag you!

Best Book You've Read So Far in 2017?

Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson

This book was just crazy good. It's entirely character driven and it works really well for the story. I think it might have even brought me close to tears. I just highly recommend. Check out my review with Nikki.

Best Sequel of 2017 So Far?

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

Considering it's the only sequel I've read this year...But actually this sequel was really good. I liked it a lot more than ACOTAR. I'll have a review up soon, so that's all I want to say for now.
