I want to start reading more but I get bored super fast. Have you ever felt like that? I'm not sure if it's the book I'm trying to read or just my mind not being able to focus lol. Maybe I should try audio books..

I have ADHD so I often times will start reading a book and then need to put it down. I'm a pretty slow reader because of it I only read so much this year because my library has a decent audiobook collection.

hii ikr hope you've been doing well
it was one of my most anticipated but I couldn't see the point in it, added nothing :")

 

[Wingfrost]

I recently finished the first book in The Diviners series, I haven’t heard many good things of the next book and I’m so scared to read it. I really loved the first one so much.

My favorite books from this year is The Two Lives of Lydia Bird and Parachutes. Despite DNF’ing some anticipated books and not really liking some others, I found some great books and read a little over 70 books which is the most I ever read so I’m happy with it.

HELLO MY DUDES!

I am a big lover of reading and all things books so I decided to make an end of year book thread.
In the hopes that you guys will also possibly add some of your own stats.
Or maybe let me know you're least favorite reads and favorite reads of this year.




Favorite Read of 2021:

!OBJECTIVELY!

Spoiler: OBJECTIVE PICK

This book follows a group of people who are all linked together because of one crazy awful accident that wound up killing a special needs child and a mother.
We follow as the case is taken to court and more and more gets revealed, making it a twisted and confusing mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
It also was incredibly well written and gave a lot of perspective on immigration, disabilities, and motherhood. It was an incredible read and would highly recommend it.
I would just suggest looking up possible trigger warnings.

!SUBJECTIVELY!

Spoiler: SUBJECTIVE PICK

This little romance story follows two teen girls in their senior year. Scottie plays basketball and is still reeling from a break-up.
Irene is cheer captain and has her shit together. The two are polar opposites and want something completely different but after an unfortunate incident, Irene and Scottie loathe each other. But when Senior year starts more trouble hits as the two crash into each other in the parking lot leading to their parents making a deal for the two to drive to school together until the other's car is out of the shop. But how does this all lead to the two girls (who hate each other) making a deal to fake date?
Also how do they end up...actually falling for each other?

My Personal Summary:
Honestly, this year was a good one. I had far fewer low-rated books than I typically do and I also managed to "read" 58 books. That includes the DNF's. If you exclude those I still managed to read 54 books which is honestly great for me I typically am below 50. I'll partially blame the pandemic and my work situation for the increase. I seriously had a couple of stand out books for me this year-the top ones I mentioned above for one thing But I also want to mention The Beautiful Ones By Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Project by Courtney Summers, Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury, You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle and last but not least The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw.

I also managed to hit my reading resolution for this year which was to either finish or DNF all the series I've started in the last couple of years. I did it.

QUESTIONS:

Sorry for the late reply, high key I kept forgetting to reply
the books you DNF'd have titles that remind me of Japanese light novels lol.
Light novels used to have captivating titles but now they mostly put like 90% of the book premise in the title


I haven't read a lot of fiction books this year but I've read a lot of books about writing ( I'm in a writing major at uni lol ).
I remember the last pretty good book I read was a memoir called 'Brain on Fire'.
It's pretty raw with the story but the writing was a bit too journalist-y at times.
