End of the Year Book Tag 2022 Edition!

The end of the year is drawing near, so it’s time for the end of the year book tag 2022 edition! This is basically just a mini wrap-up post where I talk about some of the goals I still want to meet, and some of the books I still want to read. Let’s hop in!

End of the year book tag 2022!

Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?

I generally don’t start books and not finish them. I’d rather DNF a book than have it sitting on my currently-reading shelf. I am currently in the middle of Nona the Ninth, so I guess that counts for this question. It is a complicated book and I am reading very slowly (and also referring back to Harrow and Gideon constantly) so hopefully I can finish it before the end of the year.

Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?

It’s summer here lol. But I do still plan on reading some winter-themed books. I am really looking forward to reading Just Like Magic by Sarah Hogle. I absolutely adored You Deserve Each Other, and a Christmas romance is always a good idea. I’ll read it while sipping coolers on the beach.

Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?

I am still waiting for The Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard to come out on the 24th of November. Here’s what it’s about:

Xích Si: bot maker, data analyst, mother, scavenger. But those days are over now-her ship has just been captured by the Red Banner pirate fleet, famous for their double-dealing and cruelty. Xích Si expects to be tortured to death-only for the pirates’ enigmatic leader, Rice Fish, to arrive with a different and shocking proposition: an arranged marriage between Xích Si and herself.

Rice Fish: sentient ship, leader of the infamous Red Banner pirate fleet, wife of the Red Scholar. Or at least, she was the latter before her wife died under suspicious circumstances. Now isolated and alone, Rice Fish wants Xích Si’s help to find out who struck against them and why. Marrying Xích Si means Rice Fish can offer Xích Si protection, in exchange for Xích Si’s technical fluency: a business arrangement with nothing more to it.

But as the investigation goes on, Rice Fish and Xích Si find themselves falling for each other. As the interstellar war against piracy intensifies and the five fleets start fighting each other, they will have to make a stand-and to decide what kind of future they have together…

What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?

Obviously I still have to read Babel, but I have two more books that was on my 5-Star predictions list (Chosen Ones and A Lesson in Vengeance) that I have to get to before the end of the year.

Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favourite book of the year?

Once again, Babel. I have a feeling it will be in my top three favourites of the year, not sure if it will dethrone The Whispering Dark but there’s always a possibility. Dark Academia is always a win for me, and I a massive R.F. Kuang stan (still sobbing about The Burning God).

Have you already started making reading plans for 2023?

I have, and I have some really fun stuff planned for 2023. I’ve decided to stop pressuring myself, and I’m not going to set a Goodreads Goal for 2023. I’m going to read whatever I want basically.
