Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag

[@readerontherun7460]

The Sun Down Motel is so good! Also one of my faves of this year! 🙌 I’m planning on reading The Guest List next!

[@Maryjane022]

This is fun to watch😊

[@ericasalmans1783]

I just finished Unhoneymooners, and loved it! the banter between them makes it a light, fun, summer read. I think I'll check out The Sun Down Motel next.

[@booklover847]

Midnight at the blackbird cafe sounds so good. I loved in Five years. Also loved From scratch by Tembi Locke a memoir it was so good.

[@katherinestephens6537]

I have already passed my reading goal for this year! The Guest List is really good. Other books i have liked this year are Don't Turn Around by Jessica Barry and the Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine.

[@jenniferdobbs7092]

I just finished The Sun Down Motel! Started yesterday, finished today! Couldn't put it down! I also picked up the The Duchess Deal right after Sarah mentioned it, read it in a day. I'm participating in Paige's readathon this week, Welcome To Camp Bookland. Staying in the Super Sleuths cabin. Enjoy the rest of your week.

I love the happy ever after playlist

[@nicolespivey9521]

I love Diane Chamberlain. I have not read The Dream Daughter, but it is on my TBR list for August. I am currently reading Before the Storm by her and the sequel, Secrets She Left Behind is on my TBR list for this month.

[@terriw342]

LOL! I bought 2 Tessa Dare books because of you, Sarah and Reagan! Haven't read them yet but I hope to get to The Duchess Deal next month. I haven't read a historical romance since I was maybe in my teens and that was MANY years ago! I have several of the books you mentioned but have yet to read any of them. Story of my life....... That last question --- same! All of them!!

[@jamiecoutu]

Great answers. I love this tag, despite not having a channel. I write out the answers in my reading journal. I answered Tessa Dare in some fashion to several of the questions. Definitely a surprise for me. I read the romance, but (1) not as much as I used to, and (2) not historical. Those books just work for me. Yes, The Sun Down Motel is also my fave for 2020. Haven't beat it yet. My biggest disappointment was Scythe. And I'd really like to work through my BOTM books as they're piling up.

[@heth300]

I read 'The Duchess Deal' after seeing Sarah recommend it. It was awesome! I read it in two days. The banter back and forth was hilarious! I just downloaded 'The Governess Game' from the library on e-book. Excited to get to that one.

[@Tinahgirl83]

I loved The Broken Girls by Simone St. James. I have The Sun Down Motel, but I haven’t read it yet. I’m about to go back to Sarah J. Maas. I am obsessed with her ACOTAR series (I read it for the first time this year and immediately reread it) and I read Throne of Glass, but haven’t gotten into the rest yet. Also, Regan made me start Tessa Dare as well. I loved The Governess Game even more than I did The Duchess Deal!

[@lindawarner9406]

I am reading but slowly. I have some botm to read but also have book outlet to read as well.

[@BooksAndJams]

Love it! I need to read the next one in the Tessa Dare series. It's more romance than I normally read, but I did enjoy the first one.

[@Tinahgirl83]

Krista if you enjoyed the first one, I think you’ll enjoy The Governess Game as well. I enjoyed it even more than I did The Duchess Deal. It’s hilarious as well. 😊

[@sharonforbes162]

That Tessa Dare series has some great covers on them, that is what initially drew me to them, and to find out that they are really great, fun reads is a bonus!! I love this tag, I've had fun watching several Booktubers videos of this!! 😊

[@bethmccraw6718]

I loved the Sun Down Motel!! Sooo many good books👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MLLatUtube]

I love this tag! Right now I am ahead of my Goodreads goal but not doing at all well on my Books to Read in 2020 goal. Ah, well. So many books, so little time

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

I say that a lot. :)

[@donnagenchi5198]

I'm about 20 books plus about 10 non fiction so far for the year, no where close to my goal , but still good. I'm working on the Book and Beer Challenge you and Sarah created , that's been fun , lol !

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

Yay - I'm so excited you are trying the Book and beer challenge. It's so fun!

[@Books4Lifechannel]

Crescent City is amazing. I absolutely loved it. I'm definitely a huge SJM fan. I also need to read The Guest List. Sounds like you've had a great first half of the year! 🙂 Love this tag!

[@rebekahmackenzie]

Nice video! My reading has been weird because of the pandemic. Hopefully the second half will be better.

[@monikakamila]

I love it I’ll be doing this tag

[@kellybarrett1561]

I just started the Sun Down Motel yesterday..I am loving it!! I am a huge fan of the dual time line. So glad I have today off from work! I have the Guest list on my TBR.Code name Helen sounds really intriguing!!

[@2341vivian]

Thanks Lindsey for the shout out...omgosh you need to finish Pillars of the Earth its fantastic...also if you like the gothic, ghostly type I just finished The Lost Ones by Anita Frank...so good and has a beautiful cover I have the UK edition. I am currently reading The Familiars by Stacey Halls a historical fiction about the Pendle witch trails in the 17th century England. Loving it so far. And after that I am planning to read Empire of Storms. Keep safe!

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

The Familiars sounds so intriguing - I will be checking that out.

[@dawnhermann3352]

I read The Duchess Deal last year after Meredith raved about it on The Currently Reading podcast. I devoured it in 24 hours and the Beauty and the Beast vibes were so good. I haven’t picked up another of her books yet but I plan to look at my local used book store as soon as they open again and grab a couple. I am for sure a Historical Fiction, Travel, Memoir, Literary and Thriller reader over romance so it was a huge surprise for me to like Dare as well

[@meganmartin8570]

The Honeymooners was a great book! I am waiting for my library to realease The Sun Down Motel. There are some books I would rather read and some I do better to listen too. Can't wait to read it.

[@LittleArtisticNook]

Tessa Dare's writing is truly phenomenal! I've been reading her word for years now and she's one of my faves!

[@karen-dizneydaizy4882]

I read The Duchess deal based on Sarah’s and your recommendation and it was so good that I am waiting for The Governess Game from the library. Sundown Motel was great as well and I liked that one better than The Broken Girls.

[@TheBookishMom]

I have been wanting to pick up the Sundown Motel!

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

Do it! It's so good!

[@readernac13]

With the Simone St. James books do you need to read them in a particular order or are they all independent of each other? I just finished Crescent City and it's now one of my all time favorites. I read Throne of Glass and now I'm onto Crown of Midnight and A Court of Thorns and Rose's. I also read Beach Read and loved it. I read romance but Tessa Dare and Tessa Dailey are both new authors to me. I picked up The wallflower Wager and I read and enjoyed Reborn Yesterday. Do u have a favorite Tessa Dare? Happy reading. 📚

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

Hi Nancy! You do not have to read the Simone St. James books in any particular order, they are all stand alones. I'm only on my second Tessa Dare book so it's hard to say what my favorite one is yet.

[@readernac13]

@@lindseyslittlelibrary4300 Thanks. I'm going to try Sundown Motel then it sounds so good.

[@staciecrews9625]

Lindsey do you know when the paperback of The Sun Down Motel will comes out? I read the Broken Girls per your recommendation and I loved it. My mom and I are hooked on her now. Thank you by the way Nobody's Child by Libby Fischer Hellmann is a must read. I would send you my copy but you don't have a po box. so sad

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

It looks like Nobody's Child is the 4th in a series - do I need to read them in order?

[@staciecrews9625]

@@lindseyslittlelibrary4300 I listened to it on audio and it stood on its own for me.

[@Stephanie_Happy.Librarian]

I have Sundown Motel on my TBR list-I am getting into adult thrillers so I’m still figuring out what I like in them. I’m similar in that I used to read romances (Nora Roberts for one and more historical romance authors). You might like Sarah MacLean as another author to try-she is as funny as Dare.

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

I will totally check out your blog and Sarah MacLean.

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

And you now have me super interested in Truly Devious....

[@Stephanie_Happy.Librarian]

Lindsey's Little Library I really like it (obviously). I have the third book yet to read ❤️

[@beccak1450]

Lindsey’s not so little library! 😋

[@lindseyslittlelibrary4300]

Right!
