Mid-Year Book Freak Out

1. Best book you’ve read so far in 2015. 
It's easy, The Martian by Andy Weir! I've read it in january, but I'm pretty sure no other book I'll read this year can beat it. It's awesome.
2. Best sequel you've read so far in 2015.  
Timeless by Gail Carriger. I love this whole series, but the books just get better and better and the last one is my favourite I think!
3. New release you haven't read yet, but want to. 
Uprooted by Naomi Novik
4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year. 
I've written a post about my most anticipated pre-orders for the rest of the year, check it out.
5. Biggest disappointment. 
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (I don't even know why anyone would love this..)
6. Biggest surprise. 
Fire&Flood by Victoria Scott was such a huge surprise. I was hoping I will like it a little at least, but it was a great book and I can't wait to read the second one soon (like tomorrow).
7. Favourite new author. (Debut or new to you) 
I can't choose between Scott Lynch and Michael J. Sullivan, both of them are amazing writers.
8. Newest fictional crush. 
Harry Wilson from the Human Division by John Scalzi
9. Newest favourite character. 
Locke and Jean from the Gentleman Bastards series
10. Book that made you cry. 
The book that made me cry the most is Still Alice by Lisa Genova.
11. Book that made you happy. 
Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (such cuteness)
12. Favourite book to film adaptation you saw this year. 
Jurassic World, does this count? I didn't think so. Still I loved it and I haven't seen any book to movie adaptation in 2015. What should I watch?
14. Most beautiful book you've bought/received so far this year. 
Three Souls by Janie Chang (just look at it!)
15. Books you need to read by the end of the year.
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North (it's on every list I make, I have to get to this book already)
