6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to? Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. I don't think I will get to it this year! And Beautiful World, Where Are You, by Sally Rooney. Maybe I'll do that one in the last week or so of the year, since it's quite short. I just need to prepare myself for pain.
9. Did you get into any new genres? Not really, but I did get better at reading nonfiction! I have read 10 nonfiction books so far.
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were? YES. Beneath the Keep by Erika Johansen, the prequel to the Queen of the Tearling series, I didn't know what to expect, and it was SO GOOD. Also the Captive Prince series. Once I pushed passed the first book, it was *chef's kiss* Also The Gameshouse, by Claire North. Sometimes, you read a book and just marvel at how brilliant a writer is, and wonder why they aren't more popular. That's Claire North, to me.
