Mid-Year Book Freak Out

Okay, okay I know it's not the middle of the year, sue me. But still, I really want to do this tag. This is actually a book tag that's been going around on the blog, but I thought it would be fun to do one here.


1. BEST BOOK YOU'VE READ SO FAR IN 2017

Maybe this is not the all time favorite book for everyone, but this book holds a special place in my heart. Therefore, I present you: Geekerella. I've talked about how much I love this book in my review here. If you're a fangirl or a fanboy, you should definitely read Geekerella! It'd be an absolute treat!

2. YOUR FAVORITE SEQUEL OF 2017

I haven't read many series this year, but for this one, I have to go with Siege and Storm. This book is the sequel to Shadow and Bone in The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. Compared to the latest series by Leigh Bardugo, which is Six of Crows Duology, the plot is not as complicated but still a good series to read. And hey, I need more of the Grishaverse anyway.

3. A NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN'T READ BUT WANT TO

In my defense, I want to reread the first two books before diving into this one. But apparently, I can't find time to read nowadays. Like the famous quote amongst us, bookworms said, "So many books, so little time".

4. MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

Hands down, The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo. Like I said before, I can't seem to get enough of The Grishaverse! Can't wait!

5. YOUR BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

I really wanted to enjoy When Dimple met Rishi by Shandya Menon. But sadly, I had too much expectation for this book. I wanted something empowering, but it turned out to be quite cheesy for me. I have a non spoiler review for this book here.

6. BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE YEAR

I reread Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban earlier this year. And HOLY MOLY!!! I forgot how fun it was! This book is, by far, the most hilarious book in the series. From sassy Harry to Lee Jordan's commentary, everything! So P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S.

7. FAVE NEW TO YOU OR DEBUT AUTHOR

I have to go on Angie Thomas on this one, for sure. She wrote The Hate U Give, which was her debut novel. And it was just mindblowing! This novel is so powerful and beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. The writing is absolutely amazing! This book should be read by everyone in the world.

8.YOUR NEW FICTIONAL CRUSH

For those of you who read the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas, or have seen it around bookstagram, you'd know that Rhysand is the total book-boyfriend ever. Well yeah, he is, but after reading A Court of Wings and Ruin, I'm totally swooning over Cassian.You know what I'm talking about ;)

9. BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY

For the record, this book made me cry for the first time when I'm reading books, ever. The story is just so beautiful and touching and so well written. And of course, I love the character so much! Auggie is such a sweetheart.

10. A BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY

This book just gave me all the warm, happy feeling, Almost 3/4 time when I read this I was going "aaawh". So cute!

11. FAVE BOOK TO MOVIE ADAPTATION YOU'VE SEEN THIS YEAR

I really really love the adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Not exactly a movie, but a tv series. I hadn't read the novel when I watched the show. I've been listening to the audiobook and I can say that the tv series it's a pretty dang good adaptation.

12. WHAT ARE THE BOOKS YOU NEED TO READ BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

- Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han

- Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab

- The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

- Monsters of Verity by VE Schwab

And many many more!

That's it! I hope you enjoy this post! Keep on reading!:)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
