taking a lookback at my most anticipated releases for the year: have i read them?

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

I was going to compile my most anticipated releases of 2023 post…but then I realized that I probably need to do this one first to guilt myself into actually reading the books on my 2023 list. Because this will not be pretty (but it’ll be fun!) However, I never actually made a big list for 2022. So for this particular post, I could go over my monthly anticipated releases but I just recently started to really narrow those posts down. Because of that, I’ll just be referencing my quarterly roundup of anticipated books I wanted to get to for each … Continue reading taking a lookback at my most anticipated releases for the year: have i read them?

talking about the 2022 goodreads choice awards!

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Guess who has read approximately none of the books nominated this year??? Okay, that’s a lie. But it feels like I’ve read none! I would love to comment on multiple categories but today, I’m only going to be discussing the Fantasy category, the Young Adult Fiction category, and Young Adult Fantasy and Sci-Fi category. the fantasy category! Nominees: 20 Number I’ve Read: 1/20💀 Number on my TBR: 7/20 As you can see, I voted for The Atlas Six, although I hypothetically should not have. It’s definitely not the best fantasy book of the year, and I say that having not … Continue reading talking about the 2022 goodreads choice awards!

bank it or bin #4 // my tbr oh no-

Kaya @ afictionalbookworm

Hi guys! I’m back with another edition of Bank it or Bin it, created by the amazing Vee_Bookish! The funniest part about doing this is that as I went onto Goodreads to check my Want To Read list (which is at 716 books btw) I saw a book that caught my eye and added it to my TBR. We’re really off to a great start aren’t we? Sure, maybe I haven’t read this book yet even though I’ve had it for 5 years now. I just need to find time to reread the series properly! And it’s quite hard when … Continue reading bank it or bin #4 // my tbr oh no-
