2025 The Write Reads Book Tour Round Up

9 tour reviews this year though I haven't finished 5 of them yet.

It's been a hard year.

I also did 16 spotlights which I included after the review list. There are several spotlight tours that I wanted to read the books, but just didn't have the time and/or energy.

2023 BBNYA Book Round Up

These books were the 2023 Winner and Finalists that had

BBNYA Blog Tours this year.

FFS is the Friday Featured Spotlight that has ALL the tour

posts from that particular tour.

2023 TWR Book Round Up

15 tour reviews

Whew!

I also did 14 spotlights which I included after the review list. There are several spotlight tours that I wanted to read the books, but just didn't have the time and/or energy.

Real Life 2023 has been a real shit year.

These books were the 2022 Winner and Finalists that had BBNYA Blog Tours this year, but because 2023 was a shit year for me I didn't have a chance to read them all. Reviews will be coming for the two I didn't have a chance to finish. I had spotlights for the rest.

2020 The Write Reads Blog Tour Round Up

In 2018 The Write Reads was conceived with a Blog of the Day tweet which later morphed into Review of the Day and a Blog of the Day tweets where bloggers big and small were highlighted for the day in order to generate a wider audience. I've found so many new book blogging friends through TWR!

2019 saw the implementation of The Write Reads Blog Tours. In 2020 the BBNYA was added and everything is just growing by leaps and bounds now. Being a part of this community is awesome! Except for all the books I've discovered which I will never be able to read before I die. I can try though, amirite?

I'd done a Round Up for 2021 then went back and did 2019. Now, here's 2020 for you.

2019 The Write Reads Blog Tour Round Up

2021 BBNYA Book Tour Round Up

These books were the Winner and Finalists that had BBNYA Blog Tours this year, but because my start of 2022 was all kinds of crazy I didn't have a chance to read them all. Yet. Reviews will be coming as soon as I can manage them.

2020 BBNYA Book Round Up

Here's my list of reviews for BBNYA's first year of finalists and the winner. Plus three extra I wanted to continue reading but they didn't make it to the final round.

I read The Gilded King (4th place) and The Devil's Apprentice (9th place) for The Write Reads Tours before they were entered in BBNYA 2020. I included my tour reviews for those because I did not re-read for the BBNYA tours.

2021 The Write Reads Book Tours Round Up

In 2021 The Write Reads had 26 blog tours. Wow! And I participated in every single one of them. Double Wow! I had a first chapter review for a couple I didn't have time to read for the tour and a couple of spotlights, but most were book reviews.

The genres are a wide range including:

sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, YA, horror, contemporary, middle grade, historical, and suspense with most books combining one or more of the categories.

A bajillion (that's a legit number, right?) thanks to The Write Reads for hosting so many great book tours in 2021. What an awesome way to find authors I know I never would have found otherwise!

Favorite The Write Reads Tour Books of 2020

Today's post is something I made up. I've done quite a few tours this year with The Write Reads and got to thinking: some of the books have been bitchin' good! Wait, does anyone say "bitchin'" anymore? Or am I showing my advanced age? Oh, well. Fuck that noise.

Anyway, I polled my fellow bloggers and asked which books they enjoyed the most. Of course, we're book bloggers and couldn't pick just one, but the numbers still add up. I've included First, Second, and Third Place as well as an Honorable Mention. That's not to say those were the only good books. There were A LOT of good ones in 2020 and I hope to have just as many great reads from The Write Reads in 2021. Hmmm, better start drafting that post for end of the year or I'll forget.

But wait! There's more! I also asked my fellow book bloggers if they wanted to say a few words about how Dave, Head Blog Tour Wrangler Number 1, at TWR has affected their blogging life. And they answered the call! To see what they had to say, be sure to keep scrolling after you see the books that won my Unofficial Poll (+/- 3% : btw, a number completely made up by me because I like threesomes. Ha! Just kidding. Or am I? ).
