The art inside the Brutal Prince special edition is stunning. My favorite book so far this year is The Sword of Kaigen I think you wouldn’t really enjoy it. The audiobook is amazing.

[@christireadsalot]

Obsessed with the Brutal Prince art in color

[@erinsmith8074]

🎉 I haven’t read enough to give you a list of my favs of the year, I’m hoping the second half I get to read more romances

[@christireadsalot]

Hope you have some great reads ahead!

[@cherylNA]

Okay the Prince’s Bride sounds adorable! I need to read that one. 🎉🎊

[@christireadsalot]

Had so much fun with that one! You definitely need to read it 💖

[@albireadingromance]

Under Loch and Key looks so cute ❤

[@christireadsalot]

Sooo cute, I can’t wait!

[@laurlovesliterature]

been dying to read Unsteady!!! omg that copy of brutal prince wowowow! 🎉

[@christireadsalot]

Unsteady is sooo good! 😍

[@anneegger-dr3yf]

I am going with Give Me Butterflies by: Jillian Meadows and Behind the Seams, it talks about Dolly Parton's costume collection

[@christireadsalot]

Oh nice!

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I have loved both of Lana Ferguson’s books and will be picking up the two new ones when they come out!

[@christireadsalot]

Omg yessss me too! Can’t wait for both! 👏

[@emeeceereads]

Have you read any Julia Wolf? Just finished a 2nd book by her (Not so Truly Yours) and really impressed with the real emotions and characters she can create, I loved it. Yes, it has familiar tropes but I felt the author used them in a unique way, much more real and heartfelt. New author to me this year and will definitely read more. 🎊

[@christireadsalot]

I have books in that series on my TBR! Need to get to them soon! So glad to hear you enjoyed them.

[@angiemarquez06]

I did the midyear tag on my channel since it’s my first year doing it and I have read 150 books so far I feel like it’s more quality over quantity I agree

[@christireadsalot]

Yes for quality over quantity 👏👏

Thanks for watching!

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

Love hearing about your reading! How are you able to read so much each month/year????

[@christireadsalot]

Thanks so much for watching! I’ve always just read a lot and very quickly. I just make reading a priority instead of doing other things when I have free time, I read very fast, listen to audiobooks sped up, and I also stay up veryyy late every night after the rest of the house goes to sleep and read. lol

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

@@christireadsalot I love that!

[@albireadingromance]

Thanks for watching!

@@christireadsalot Thank you for creating 💓🧜🏼‍♀️💓

[@dawniebrooke1158]

The thing i don't like about this tag is that the first question is the best book you read this yr.... sometimes i just tune out after that... that should be the last question... just sayin ❤

[@dawniebrooke1158]

Btw... ILYSM !!!

[@bookswithsamantha]

This is a tag that’s almost a decade old, most people just answer the questions in order 🤷‍♀️

[@christireadsalot]

I just answer the questions in the order they’ve been created for this tag. To me it is fun to hear people’s other stats for the year, anticipated ones and new to them authors to try etc that is also shared in this tag.
