The End of the Year Book Tag was created by Ariel Bissett many years ago.
This is one of my favorite tags to do every year sometime in the fall.
1.) Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?
🦉The Way of Edan by Phillip Chase- I made a list of 25 books I would like to read this year as one of my yearly goals. The Way of Edan is one of those books and I started this a few months ago, but I just wasn't in the mood to read it earlier this year. I would like to finish this one in the near future.
2.) Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?
🍁Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood- I think this witchy book will be perfect to transition into the end of the year.
3.) Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?- Here are some of the new releases I'm still waiting for because I can never pick just one. Most of the books I am waiting for from the end of the year are ones I have ARCs of. These are the ones I do not.
🍂 Local Heavens by K. M. Fajardo (Release Date: October 14th, 2025)- This book comes out tomorrow but I'm not sure when I will be able to pick it up. It is a queer science fiction retelling of The Great Gatsby and it sounds amazing.
🦉The Siren and the Star by Colby Cedar Smith (Release Date: October 28th, 2025)- A novel-in-verse about a young singer who overcomes trauma by connecting to music from a 17th-century female composer. It sounds like this book is told from the young singer, Lula's, perspective and also Barbara, the 17th century composer. I love books told in verse and think this one sounds great.
4.) What are four books you want to read before the end of the year?- I have posted a Fall TBR which has over 10 books I would like to read before the end of the year. These are the top 4 of those books that I would definitely love to finish by the end of the year.
🍁Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury- I made a goal for myself earlier this year to read through some specific classics that I didn't read before. The last one on that list is Fahrenheit 451.
🍂 Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson- Last year, I started The Stormlight Archive finally and have been highly enjoying the series. I need to at least get through the fourth book.
🦉The Pinhoe Egg and Mixed Magics: Four Tales of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones-I want to finish the Chrestomanci series by the end of this year. I have one final book and then the short story collection.
5.) Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year?
🍁 I have loved so many books this year and I have a hard time believing anything is going to beat them out of my top five. But if anyone could do this, it would be T. Kingfisher. My favorite book of last year was A Sorceress Comes to Call and I will be reading Snake-Eater very soon. I have high hopes for this book, especially after hearing people review it saying that it reminds them of the Witch books from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
6.) Have you already started making reading plans for 2026?
🍂 Yes, I know many of my reading goals for 2026.
🦉 Read 100 books- My reading goal for each year is always to read at least 100 books. I don’t plan on changing this anytime soon.
🍁 Finish three series I started before 2026- I do not know what series these will be just yet, but I would like to finish at least three series I have started before 2026.
🍂 Read at least 5 tomes- Another repeat goal that I definitely will be doing next year.
🦉 Read 4 C. S. Lewis Books I have never read- I have been trying to read C. S. Lewis books I have never read each year. This coming year, I decided to make it a goal to read at least 4 C.S. Lewis books. I might do this each quarter. Below I have put some of the options.
🍁 Start reread of the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett- I have been wanting to reread the entire Discworld series for years now. So next year, I'm planning on starting this in January and plan on rereading a book a month. We will see what happens.
