The End of the Year Book Tag 2021

Today I thought I would do The End of the Year Book Tag. This will give me a chance to look at what I’ve got left to read in the last few weeks of the year. Plus a chance to share some of the love for all of the books I’ve got to look forward to in 2022.

Let’s jump in. This tag was created by Ariel Bissett on YouTube.

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

So many! I’ve started but I’ve yet to finish: Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Know My Name by Chanel Miller, The Kenneth Williams Diaries by Kenneth Williams, and Out of Office: Ditch the 9 to 5 by Fiona Thomas. Quite a few to get through by the end of the year.

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

Hmm… not really. I don’t read by season, although I do have a few Christmas books lined up for the festive period. I suppose the first book I’ve started in November is Stay Another Day by Juno Dawson, which so I’m really enjoying. And I’ve got my eye on a few classics like A Room with a View by E.M. Forster and Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell.

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

I’m not waiting for this book as I technically do own it but I’ve yet to read it. I need to read Beautiful World, Where Are You? by Sally Rooney. I love her books so really need to get on this.

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

Definitely Sally Rooney’s latest book, but also Cecily by Annie Garthwaite and Elektra by Jennifer Saint, which I’ve just been sent a digital proof of!

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

Hmm… it’s not been the best reading year for me so there’s always a chance I’ll find my new favourite read in the next 8 weeks. But I can’t say there’s anything that will shock me.

Have you already started making reading plans for next year?

Of course! I’ve already decided on my reading goal for 2022 plus some of the books I really want to get to in the New Year. I always set myself Bookish Resolutions for the year, despite being a mood reader so I’m trying to think what those resolutions will be.

Do you think you’ll give The End of the Year Book Tag ago? Let me know if you do in the comments below. I’d love to read your answers.
