Tag: Fight Club

Hi again, bibliophiles!

I was in the mood for a book tag today, so I figured I’d give this one a shot. I was tagged by Riddhi @ Whispering Stories (thank you!), and I’m not sure who created the tag, so if you know, please let me know so I can credit them!

Let’s begin, shall we?

📘3 BOOKISH THINGS BOOK TAG📘

3 READ-ONCE-AND-LOVED AUTHORS

Just so I don’t sound like a broken record, here are three that I’ve discovered more recently and loved…

• Noah Hawley (Before the Fall, The Punch)
• Alechia Dow (The Sound of Stars)
• Tille Walden (On a Sunbeam, Are You Listening?)

3 TITLES I’VE WATCHED BUT NOT READ

• Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk)
• High Fidelity (Nick Hornby)
• The Queen’s Gambit (Walter Tevis) (oof I didn’t like the show so I don’t think I’ll read this one anyway)

3 SERIES I HAVE BINGED

Ooh, I rarely binge series, so this one’s probably a little harder…

• The Young Elites series (The Young Elites, The Rose Society, The Midnight Star)
• The Nahx Invasions (Zero Repeat Forever, Cold Falling White)
• The Shadow and Bone trilogy (Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising)

3 CHARACTERS I LOVE

OOH, lots to choose from…I’ll think of some that I haven’t talked much about in other book tags…

• Kal Gilwraeth (Aurora Cycle)
• Rake (The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea)
• Ellie Baker (The Sound of Stars)

3 CURRENT FAVORITE COVERS

I wouldn’t say that I have a favorite book cover, but here are a few recent reads that had covers that I ADORED

• Victories Greater Than Death (Charlie Jane Anders)
• The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea (Maggie Tokuda Hall)
• The Ones We’re Meant to Find (Joan He)

3 THINGS YOU HAVE USED AS BOOKMARKS

Uh…I just use bookmarks, and I have no memory of using anything else…

3 UNPOPULAR BOOKISH OPINIONS

• The Cruel Prince wasn’t that good, and Jude and Cardan’s relationship was all kinds of toxic
• Wings of Ebony wasn’t that great either, but I will say that a) I loved the unapologetic approach to racism and colonialism and b) the cover was really pretty
• Alina from Shadow and Bone shouldn’t have been paired off with the Darkling or Mal – both options weren’t great, and why did she need to be paired off in the first place? (But if I could pair her off with anyone, I’d say Genya.)

3 BOOK GOALS FOR THE YEAR

• Read at least 250 books (I’m at 130 right now!)
• Actually get around to reading The Handmaid’s Tale bc it’s been sitting on my Kindle for over a year
• Don’t cry that hard during Aurora’s End (because it’s a given that I’ll cry at some point)

I TAG:

• Brooke @ The Reader’s Game
• Cherelle @ A Bolt out of the Book
• Phoenix @ Books with Wings
• Hundreds & Thousands of Books
• + anyone else who wants to participate! If you see this tag and want to do it, I can’t wait to see your answers! And if I tagged you and you don’t want to do it/have already done it, my bad!

Since I’ve already posted once today, check out this week’s Goodreads Monday for today’s song.

That’s it for this book tag! Have a wonderful rest of your day, and take care of yourselves!
