Mid Year Freak Out Tag 2025

Hello!

I haven’t taken part in this Tag since 2021 so I thought it was high time I took part again. I haven’t read as many books as I usually have by this time of the year but hopefully I will have some good answers.

The Mid Year Freak Out tag was co-created by Ely @ Earl Grey Books and Chami @ Read Like Wildfire.

What is the best book that you’ve read so far in 2025?

I just can’t choose between these two as they have definitely been my favourite reads of 2025 so far.

What has been your favourite sequel of the first half of the year?

This is the only sequel I have read this year so far so it is definitely my favourite. Review

Is there a new release that you haven’t read yet but you’re really excited to?

I had this preordered but as per usual it has been sat on my TBR pile since it arrived. I am planning on reading it this year though.

What is your most anticipated release for the second half of the year?

I have had this preordered for ages and I can’t wait for the release.

What is your biggest disappointment so far?

I was really excited to read this but I was really disappointed with it.

What is your biggest surprise so far?

I downloaded this book in 2018 when I fist got my Kindle and it was a 99p purchase. It has sat on there ever since but this year I decided to give it a read and I will be honest I wasn’t expecting much but I was absolutely hooked. I downloaded book 2 straight away.

Favourite book to movie adaptation this year?

Haven’t seen any sadly.

What is the prettiest book cover so far this year?
