2025 Mid Year Freak Out Tag

hello Readers! Can you believe first half of 2025 is already over? Because I cannot. My TBR clearly thinks it’s still January. And yes, it’s time for the 2025 Mid Year Freak Out Tag! I’m bit late for this but better late than never.

Before I jump into the tag questions, here is my reading stats so far this year:

Reading Stats & Graphs

And here is Goodreads challenge snapshot. This is recent one so showing more books.

NEW RELEASE YOU HAVEN’T READ YET, BUT WANT TO

There is long list here and it will be tricky to list all the eARC I received since the beginning of the year and I still haven’t read! So I’ll list few books that released in June that are on my TBR.

MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

Arthur Kneland in Lady’s Formula for Love and Dominic Davenport in King of Greed.

NEWEST FAVORITE CHARACTER

Oraya in Crowns of Nyaxia and Sloan in King of Sloth

I cry at everything, even joy—so while no book fully wrecked me, Beach Read and The Seven O’Clock Club had deep, layered emotions that brought more than just happy tears.

BOOK THAT MADE YOU HAPPY
