End of Year Book Survey 2015

Posted January 3, 2016 by Dani in Fun Things, TBRs and Wrap-ups / 7 Comments

End of Year Survey 2015

2015 is over, and 2016 now reigns. Can you believe it? I’ve already shared with you my goals for 2016, but I wanted to wait until 2015 was officially over to reflect. What better way to do that than the 6th Annual End of Year Book Survey by Perpetual Page-turner!

By the way, this was scary difficult to fill out, as I had to make some super tough decisions… And I still ended up cheating! ^_^;

Note: book titles for books I’ve already read link to my reviews. Otherwise, they link to Goodreads.

End of Year Survey 2015 Reading Stats

Number of books you read: 81 (better than the 40 I read in 2014!)

Number of re-reads: 1

Genre you read the most from: Fantasy (28)

End of Year Survey 2015 Best in Books

1. Best book you read in 2015?

I’m going to start off well by cheating and splitting this into three categories…

Best standalone: Uprooted by Naomi Novik

The story got bigger and bigger, and I was honestly worried that Novik wouldn’t be able to tie it all up in a single book. And yet she did! And she gave us the Dragon! Say hello to my first swoon of the post. <3

Best book in a series: A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses #1) by Sarah J. Maas

And another swoon… Tamlin. You can be my beast any day.

But seriously, this is the first book I’ve read by Sarah J. Maas, and I plan on bingeing on her other series, Throne of Glass, for the A Series A Month challenge before ACOTAR’s sequel comes out (more on that at the end of this post). This had everything I loved: badass lady, awkward but strong and loving faerie dude, magic and an incredible world.

Best indie: Fire Falling (Air Awakens #2) by Elise Kova

When Kova published the first book in her fantasy series, I already fell over sideways. Then she brought out book #2, and I straight up died. Little librarian girl Vhalla put her big girl panties on, kicking butt and stealing hearts. And I honestly think that other indie authors should take a page from her book (tehehehe), as she really stands out in the indie world with a properly polished and gorgeous series!

Did you think I’d leave out the swoon? ALDRIK, MY LOVE. Yes, I’m greedy and have many book boyfriends. There will only be more below.

via GIPHY

So…anyone else notice how they’re all fantasy? Yeah, I have my favourite genre right here.

2. Book you were excited about & thought you were going to love more but didn’t?

Soundless cover

After hearing so much about how great Richelle Mead’s books are, I was really hoping for so much more from her book Soundless, especially given the setting in China, which has such incredible folklore to build upon! Unfortunately, it was a maaaaajor disappointment for me and every single member of Four Corners of the Bookshelf.

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read?

A Monster Calls coverSoon after I started blogging, I noticed a lot of people talking about Patrick Ness. He had quite a few books out already, and I was a little overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. Several other bloggers recommended A Monster Calls, but the synopsis was a little confusing and didn’t sound like it would be up my street. Nevertheless, I trusted my advisors and purchased the book.

Needless to say, it was amazing! The story started off a little strange, but it quickly grew on me and stunned me with the direction it took. And, of course, it made me ugly cry.

4. Book you “pushed” the most people to read (and they did)?

Uprooted coverUprooted! Not only did I scream it from the rooftops on Twitter, I also convinced a couple of my coworkers to read it, the boyfriend’s dad and gave it to three other book bloggers as presents. To top it all off, my reluctant reader boyfriend (he’s super picky) read it and then proceeded to buy all of Novik’s other books. They were all different ages, genders and nationalities, and yet they all enjoyed the standalone fantasy masterpiece.

5. Best series you started in 2015? Best sequel of 2015? Best series ender of 2015?

Started: HOW DOES ONE ANSWER THIS?! I’m torn between Nameless by Jennifer Jenkins and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas. I can’t choose, so you can have both.

Continued: Fire Falling by Elise Kova. To me, it was even better than Air Awakens, and I already gave AA 5 stars.

Finished: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi. WARNERRRR. MY LOOOOVE.

Basically all of my favourite book boyfriends are in the books above… Gryphon, Tamlin, Aldrik, Warner…

6. Favourite new author you discovered in 2015?

I actually discovered a lot of new authors this year, and I don’t think I can choose just one, let alone three! So here are my top 10… XD

  • Elise Kova (Air Awakens series)
  • Samantha Shannon (Bone Season series)
  • Naomi Novik (Uprooted)
  • Tahereh Mafi (Shatter Me trilogy)
  • Sarah J. Maas (A Court of Thorns and Roses series)
  • Sabaa Tahir (An Ember in the Ashes series)
  • Leigh Bardugo (The Grisha)
  • Elizabeth Holloway (Call Me Grim series)
  • Jennifer Jenkins (Nameless)
  • Pierce Brown (Red Rising Trilogy)

Ya’ll are amazing and I love you and PLEASE NEVER STOP WRITING.

7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone?

Nimona coverI tried something new this year. I started reading graphic novels. I mean, I guess I read the Asterix and Tintin books when I was little, but I was completely overwhelmed by the comic/graphic novel world. I still am pretty scared by it all, but I dipped my toes in with a standalone, Nimona by Noelle Stevenson. It was incredible!

8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?

Ignite Me coverThere was only one proper, full-length novel that I truly read without stopping was Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi. It built on the previous two books and was filled with so much kicking ass and sheer AWESOMENESS. You have to read the whole series to truly appreciate the character development, which was perfection.

AND WARNER. <3 He was perfect, too.

9. Book you read in 2015 that you are most likely to re-read next year?

ACOTAR coverYEAH. I’m going to say it again.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.

Yup. I’ll be reading that awesome bit of awesomeness at the start of May to prepare for the follow-up, A Court of Mist and Fury!

10. Favourite cover of a book you read in 2015?

Nope, you’re getting more than one. I’m just going to throw out a bunch now.

11. Most memorable character of 2015?

Red Rising coverI’m going to say… Sevro from Red Rising by Pierce Brown. I took more about him down in question 19, and I’ve repeated myself enough, but basically, he’s so unique and scary but also very loveable. I don’t know if he can be described without you reading the book. So read it.

12. Most beautifully written book read in 2015?

I know this series is a bit like Marmite – either you love the writing or you hate it. I, personally, loved it, though I can understand the other side of the coin. If you haven’t guessed already, this series is the Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi. What I particularly loved about the writing is that, over the course of the three books, the writing style echoed Juliette’s way of thinking, and you could see her growing through the change in her narration. I think this is an often-overlooked aspect, but I think it’s very well done on Mafi’s part.

13. Most thought-provoking/ life-changing book of 2015?

You know what was life-changing? Starting this blog. And I’ve said this before, but a specific book led me to start blogging, and for that, I am forever indebted to the author.

Mime Order coverThat book was The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon.

Because of how much I loved the book, I visited her website to find out about the next one. There, I read about YALC. I’m not sure on the specifics anymore, but from looking up YALC, I learned about book bloggers and the Twitter community, and I decided I wanted to be a part of this beautiful world.

14. Book you can’t believe you waited UNTIL 2015 to finally read?

RED RISING BY PIERCE BROWN

I’m sorry for swearing, but WHAT THE FUCK. Why did I wait until the end of 2015 to read this book?

15. Favourite passage/quote from a book you read in 2015?

From Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi…

Unravel Me cover“I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body.

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.”

From Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi (oh shut up, you know you love it)…

Ignite Me coverAaron Warner Anderson, chief commander and regent of Sector 45, son of the supreme commander of The Reestablishment.

He has a soft spot for fashion.

I FREAKING LOVE WARNER.

And finally, from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas…

ACOTAR coverI was as unburdened as a piece of dandelion fluff, and he was the wind that stirred me about the world.

This particular line inspired my deepest wish to have a certain necklace I saw online that my glorious #OTSPSecretSister sent me for Christmas. There is some dandelion fluff in it! And now I can’t find a picture of it online…

16. Shortest & longest book you read in 2015?

Thanks to Goodreads Year in Review thing, I can tell you that the longest book I read (waaaay back before I started blogging) was Bitterblue (Graceling Realm #3) by Kristin Cashore. Oh my god, guys, I LOVE that series. While they’re each about a different young woman, their stories are all connected and magical. They’re each badass in their own way, and the romances are unique and refreshing. You don’t often find such empowering YA fantasy like that series!

As for shortest read, that would be Ryan Lanz’s Unknown Sender at 25 pages, a short thriller with a serious twist at the end!

17. Book that shocked you the most?

I’m going to have a few for this one, in chronological order.

The Mime Order (The Bone Season #2) by Samantha Shannon – The big reveal at the end about a certain someone not being who we all thought they were left me speechless.

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses #1) by Sarah J. Maas – THAT FREAKING STUMBLE. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Fire Falling (Air Awakens #2) by Elise Kova – Damn you, Darth Kova. You know what you did. You can’t come between me and my love.

18. OTP of the year? (You will go down with this ship!)

Fire-Falling-Cover-OnlyAs if I haven’t talked about this series enough…

VALDRIK FOREVERRRRRRRRR

I don’t care what Elise says, my love for Vhalla and Aldrik will never die. I just want them to be happy, even if it means believing in an afterlife or zombies or something. Even if I have to rely on fan fiction to keep me going.

19. Favourite non-romantic relationship of the year?

I’m going to give you two.

Shatter Me coverJuliette and Kenji from the Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi – I honestly wish Kenji were my friend because he is just so FREAKING SWEET and FUNNY. I don’t even know if Juliette deserves him. I don’t know if anyone deserves a friend like him. Ok, maybe the relationship isn’t too exciting, but I needed an excuse to include him in here. Because I am completely enamoured with him.

Red Rising coverDarrow and Sevro from Red Rising by Pierce Brown – Sevro started off really creeping me out, and he continued to be creepy while I fell in love with him. I didn’t love him because he got less weird – if anything, he got more – but I loved him for who he was: unapologetically himself. He and Darrow formed such a bond of trust and loyalty and respect, despite the circumstances and what people expected of either of them. I hope they continue to be friends in the rest of the books, which I will ascertain soon since I plan to read Golden Son soon, and then Morning Star comes out in a week!

20. Favourite book you read in 2015 from an author you’ve read previously?

Me Before You coverAnd now, from left field, I’m going to say… Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. It was breathtaking and heartbreaking and oh so lovely. I’d read One Plus One in 2014, which was pretty good, but Me Before You was on another level.

21. Best book you read in 2015 that you read based SOLELY on a recommendation from somebody else/peer pressure?

Nameless coverA lot of the books I read were based on recommendations, but the one that stands out the most was Nameless by Jennifer Jenkins. Jamie from Books and Ladders promoted it all over the place, and she particularly pushed it on me. You see, even though we’ve never met and have only known each for about 5-6 months, Jamie knows me. She knows what kinds of books I’ll like, and because she reads so much, she has a vast awareness of books that she can recommend from.

To cut to the chase, if Jamie says “read this”, I read it.

AND I FREAKING LOVED IT.

Which reminds me…I have the review sitting in my drafts…I should finish and publish it… Oops!

22. Newest fictional crush from a book you read in 2015?

Come on, we’ve been through this. I’m a greedy girl, so here are ten lovely gentlemen

23. Best 2015 debut you read?

I’m saying, yet again, An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir, Air Awakens by Elise Kova and Nameless by Jennifer Jenkins.

Are you getting sick of me mentioning these books yet?

24. Best world-building/most vivid setting you read this year?

Fire coverI had to make myself not use the books I’ve already mentioned a bajillion times, so I’ve digged back to the first book I read in 2015, which was Fire by Kristin Cashore, the second book in the Graceling Realm.

The whole trilogy has gorgeous world-building, but I’m mentioning this one specifically if only for the image of brightly coloured beasts circling the skies above Fire while she’s on her period.

Best. Incorporation. Of. Periods. Ever.

25. Book that put a smile on your face/was the most fun to read?

Finding Audrey coverThere are a lot of books I could choose for this, but I distinctly remember squealing like a little girl while reading Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella. There were so many funny and cute moments in this book!

26. Book that made you cry or nearly cry in 2015?

I have a Goodreads shelf for this!

27. Hidden gem of the year?

I don’t know if these books get enough love amongst all the books coming out of the big publishers, so I’m going to say Nameless by Jennifer Jenkins and Scarred by Joanne Macgregor. There, now you have a fantasy and a contemporary, depending on your personal tastes!

28. Book that crushed your soul?

The two books that destroyed me the most this year in terms of heartbreak and ugly crying are Fire Falling by Elise Kova and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. I completely broke down during both of them, flopping about like a fish.

Actually, with FF, I didn’t cry the night I finished the book and got to that AWFUL CLIFFHANGER. The crying started the next morning, while I was in the shower. I cried in the shower. Who does that??? And then I cried at work as discretely as possible. But my coworkers are cool with me being a bit crazy and crying over fictional characters. I’ve done crazier things there before.

29. Most unique book you read in 2015?

The V Girl coverI can honestly say I’ve never read a book like The V Girl by Mya Robarts. I can’t say too much because of cliffhangers, but while I have read books with similar settings and individual components, that particular combination was entirely new to me.

30. Book that made you the most mad (doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t like it)?

Only Ever Yours by Louise O’Neill made me soooo mad and also so, so dead inside for a while.

End of Year Survey 2015 Blogging Life

1. New favourite book blog you discovered in 2015?

Book blogging was completely new to me this year, so I can’t say just one. Here are some of the amazing blogs I follow:

  • Books and Ladders – Jamie only started her blog in 2015, and she’s already become such a success. She is my guru, my inspiration to be a better, more organised blogger. She just has it all worked out! Plus, she is my beastie, and I can always turn to her when I’m feeling defeated.
  • IrisjeXx – Iris is a beautiful impala and my motivation to exercise. She doesn’t blog as often as Jamie, but when she does, her posts are great. We also only met over Twitter in…July? And we’ve met in person twice, once when we randomly met in Amsterdam in August and then again when she came and stayed with me in Oxford!
  • Tea and Titles – This is a joint venture by Ely and Michelle from Down Under. It’s got books, TV shows, graphic novels and more. I also met Ely in person for the first time in July, having talked on Twitter before then. We then went to Denmark together in October!
  • Paper Fury – Who doesn’t love Cait? She is so much fun and isn’t afraid to be completely honest about books and bookish issues. Have some cake, Cait!
  • Read at Midnight – Aentee’s blog is sooooo beautiful, and I visit it just to start at her graphics. But her writing is awesome, too. 😀

2. Favourite review that you wrote in 2015?

Air Awakens coverI’m going to agree with my readers on this one, as this happens to be the most popular review I’ve written. I love gifs (I should include them more often) and I love this book.

Yes, the review in question is of Air Awakens by Elise Kova.

3. Best discussion/non-review post you had on your blog?

Thanks for your opinion, but I’m going to keep reading YA is a recent post, but it was written while I was particularly annoyed and seemed to resonate with other people, who shared it on Twitter. Thanks, guys!

But honestly, I haven’t written a lot of discussion posts, and I want to change that in 2016!

4. Best event that you participated in (author signings, festivals, virtual events, memes, etc.)?

Going to the Young Adult Literature Convention (YALC) in July was mind-blowing. I had never before been in a room filled with so many other book lovers, and I loved it.

5. Best moment of bookish/blogging life in 2015?

This is going to be a little bit strange, but the best thing about this year happened in the last few days. I know a lot of people on Twitter shared who their favourite bloggers/fellow readers were of 2015, and I honestly teared up when several people actually mentioned me. I’m just sitting here in my little corner of the internet, and people are actually paying attention to me. In fact, they like me.

This is so hard for me to fathom, since I struggle every day with depression, anxiety and this belief that I annoy the shit out of everyone. I know this is irrational; I mean, I have a boyfriend of six years who still puts up with me, so I can’t be all bad. But still, the fact that some of you care enough to think of me made my heart swell and my eyes water, and I am so, so grateful.

via GIPHY

6. Most challenging thing about blogging or your reading life this year?

The hardest thing for me to do is actually take an idea in my head and put it into words. This means that writing reviews takes a long time, and all the discussions I want to have with my readers get stuck in my drafts because I can’t articulate all that I want to say. I’m hoping that, with more practice, I’ll build the writing muscle so that I can have better conversations with all of you!

7. Most popular post this year on your blog (whether it be by comments or views)?

Funnily enough, the post that seems to draw in the most people was my first Fanfic Friday post on with ACOTAR fan fiction! It doesn’t get spikes of interest, but the trickle it gets daily means it has overtaken my review of Air Awakens. It was written a while ago, when there wasn’t that much fanfic yet for the books, so I’m going to take another gander and see what else I can find for all of you lovers of Tamlin, Feyre and Rhysand.

8. Post you wished got a little more love?

I don’t like playing favourites! Eish, this is hard… Maybe my post on being an INTP blogger? I like finding out what other people’s personality types are and how it plays out in their day-to-day life!

9. Best bookish discovery (book-related sites, book stores, etc.)?

Another weird answer… Bookstagram. I know it’s a weird answer, but there is something so addictive about scrolling through photos of books and bookish things. I have to stop myself from opening the Instagram app sometimes just because I know I’ll end up scrolling for aaaages.

10. Did you complete any reading challenges or goals that you had set for yourself at the beginning of this year?

At the start of 2015, I decided I was going to push myself to read a book a week on average…so 52 books. At the time, this looked like a real challenge, as I was still in workaholic mode.

But then, guess what? I burned myself out and decided to take on –effectively– a second job, a labour of love. I started book blogging. So what seemed like a barely achievable target at the start of the year was blown out of the water thanks to a change in my priorities. I read 156% of my goal number, which is why I’ve upped my goal to 100 for 2016!

End of Year Survey 2015 Looking Ahead

1. One book you didn’t get to in 2015 but will be your number 1 priority in 2016?

All the Stars in the Sky coverScrolling through Goodreads, I realised that I never actually read the last book in a series that I ADORED in 2014. Until the End of the World by Sarah Lyons Fleming is a zombie apocalypse series that is more focused on survival and character development than just gore, which makes it the best zombie story that I have ever read. And After, the second book, broke my heart twice so badly that I ugly cried for ages. Because I actually listened to the (utterly amazing) audiobooks for the first two books in the series, I wanted to wait until the audiobook for the third book came out, but by that point, I was so caught up in my new world of book blogging that I forgot.

BUT NOW I REMEMBER.

So the first audiobook I’ll be listening to for the Audiobook Challenge I’m participating in will be All the Stars in the Sky. I’m expecting tears.

Oh, and guys, I know the covers are a bit funny and the synopsis for the first book seriously undersells the story. Just give it a chance. It is phenomenal.

2. Book you are most anticipating for 2016 (non-debut)?

Don’t do this to me. Please.

Fine, fine, if I must…

3. 2016 debut you are most anticipating?

Again, you’re not getting just one from me! These are the ones I’m planning so far to read for the Debut Author Challenge.

4. Series ending/a sequel you are most anticipating in 2016?

A Court of Mist and Fury placeholderI’m going to go for the sequel to A Court of Thorns and RosesA Court of Mist and Fury. I can’t believe you made me choose. But yes, I need to know about The Stumble. I’m actually a little scared, since I love Feyre and Tamlin together, but I feel like The Stumble means their love will be challenged. Please, Maas, don’t break my heart.

May 3rd, I’m waiting for you.

5. One thing you hope to accomplish or do in your reading/blogging life in 2016?

I’ve got soooo many challenges for 2016, which you can read about here. But what I’m becoming more and more passionate about is that I want to make my website more reader-friendly. I want to clean up the design, spruce up the review format (you may have noticed some of that) and further work on my schedules and voice. If you have any suggestions, advice, things you like or don’t about my blog, please let me know!

6. A 2016 release you’ve already read & recommend to everyone?

…I haven’t read any 2016 releases… tears up


Anyway, I need to finish packing and eat breakfast, as I’m flying back to the UK in a few hours. sniff sniff :'( I’m going to miss my family… Recommend me a good 2016 release to make me feel better?

      THANK YOU!!! It means so much to hear you like my blog! Ok so now I need to read Golden Son and Morning Star, and then we can talk more about the amazingness that is Servo. Because he’s still in the next books, right? I don’t know if I could handle him not being in them… O_O

  2. You named SO MANY BOOKS I LOVED AS WELL, and other books I NEED TO READ SOON! I don’t really do new year’s resolutions, but I made blogging resolutions for this year. First up is planning planning planning. I want to plan a freaking month ahead so I have no problems with my study and blog colliding. I need a buffer and I’m going to work towards creating it.
    Also, hugs hugs hugs. I am so happy we met Dani. I had no idea how close we’d become in such a short amount of time, but our friendship means the world to me!

  3. Whoa, so many books in this post! I won a copy of Uprooted this year, but haven’t gotten to it yet. I keep hearing fantastic things though, and the fact that it is a standalone is pretty appealing.

    Have a fantastic week!

    • Dani

      NOoooo go read it!!! It was one of the first books I read as a book blogger, and it set a pretty high standard for books to come. If you don’t want to get sucked into a series, give it a shot. 🙂
