End of the Year Reading Tag

I wanted to do an end of the year book tag, so I found these questions, and went with it!

Did you reach your reading goal for the year (if you had one)?

oh yeah, I always set my goal to 50, but know that I will almost get to 100. This year I am at 92, which is about my average. Considering that I feel like I didn't nearly read as much as I normally do, I am happy with that number.

What are your top 3 books you read this year?

(not including rereads) My number 1 book this year was no doubt Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. My next ones are probably The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson and Jade War by Fonda Lee. Three fantasy books, but all wildly different from each other!

What's a book that you didn't expect to enjoy quite so much going in?

East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I was not expecting to find a book so beautiful and a story I was so invested in. I also had to read a lot of naturalist/nature writing for one of my classes in the fall semester, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed those books.

Were there any books that didn't live up to your expectations?

Of course. The Binding by Bridget Collins, For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, Cibola Burn (Expanse #4) by James SA Corey, to name a few.

Did you reread any old faves? If so, which one was your favourite?

Yes, I did a lot of rereads. I listened to The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater on audiobook, and oh my the audiobook was a wonderful experience. It made me think about and interact with the characters and story in a whole new way. I actually listened to it a second time through, it was that good.

I also did a reread of all the Grisha books by Leigh Bardugo which was enjoyable.

Did you dnf any books?

I did not. It is rare for me to dnf a book (I only really consider it a dnf it I got more than 50 pages in) and I usually at least skim the ending. However, some of my least favorite books of the year include: Blood and Honey by Shelby Mahurin, Lore by Alexandra Bracken, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain, The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner, and Cibola Burn by James SA Corey.

Did you read any books outside your usual preferred genre(s)?

Yes, especially for school. I read a lot of naturalist writing which was different for me. It's a genre I've always enjoyed, but I read a lot more of it this year.

What was your predominant format this year?

Physical books, with roughly 81/92 being physical format. I read 11 audiobooks however, which is more than I ever have in a year. I listened to most of the Wheel of Time on audio, which was much better than trying to read the physical copies.

What's the longest book you read this year?

The Stand by Stephen King at 1,440 pages

What are your top 3 anticipated 2022 releases?

House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas, Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater, and The Book of Night by Holly Black.

What books from your tbr did you not get to this year, but are excited to read in 2022?

Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee, without a doubt. My barns and noble didn't have it in stock when I went the other day, but as soon as they do, I'm reading it. I also just bought Elatose by Darcie Little Badger and The Library: A Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen

If anyone else wants to do this tag, go ahead! If you do, tag me so I see it!
