50/50 Friday - Favorite/Least Favorite Character Name + Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2017



This meme is hosted at The Butterfly Reader and Blue Eye Books


This week's topic is favorite / least favorite character name! 



Favorite


 Skulduggery Pleasant (Skulduggery Pleasant, #1)


I have several favorites. Skulduggery Pleasant, for one. I also love the name Chaol Westfall
 

Least Favorite


 Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)


I'm not a huge fan of the name Grace. I also don't really care for the name Isobel. I don't hate these names at all, I just don't think they're the most interesting names ever. 
What do you think of these names?

Now it's time for the mid-year book freak out tag! I found it on The Butterfly Reader


1) Best book you've read so far in 2017


 A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)


I've read lots of awesome books, but those that stick out include Mask of Shadows, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Demon Road.

 Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)



3)  New release you haven't read yet but want to


 The Beast Is an Animal


Ohhhh there are tons of new releases I want to read but haven't yet! The Beast is an Animal is only one of them.


4) Most anticipated release for second half of 2017


 Mask of Shadows (Untitled, #1)


So I already read an ARC of Mask of Shadows (thank you NetGalley!) however I am definitely anticipating the release date for this book so I can get a physical copy. 



5) Biggest disappointment


 Keeping You a Secret


Keeping You A Secret was quite a disappointment for me.

Sarah J Maas!

Chaol!!!!! Celaena too. 



9) Newest favorite character


Yeah I don't have just one favourite character, but many. Chaol, Celaena, Feyre, Tamlin (Sarah J Maas is essentially providing me with a good portion of my favourites nowadays, as you can see). I also really liked Amber from Demon Road and Syd from Proxy. 



10) Book that made you cry


 When Everything Feels Like the Movies


When Everything Feels like the Movies. To be fair, I can't remember if I actually cried or if I only shed a few tiny tears, but either way this book was very emotional for me.

Mask of Shadows! Genderfluid represent!

I don't think I've seen any! :(

Oblivion. It's not some epic review, but its a review for the last book in one of my most favorite trilogies ever. 




14) Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year. 


 Zodiac (Zodiac, #1)


I have bought lots of lovely books, but Zodiac stands out for sure!




15) What books do you need to read by the end of the year?



So many. I'm not even gonna bother to list them. Just... so many.
