Hello again, bibliophiles!
I’ve been wanting to do this tag for a little while, but I figured that it would be good for today since I’ve pretty much been subsisting off of Netflix for most of this four-day weekend. (*coughcough I AM MOTHER coughcough MONTY PYTHON coughcough*) I found this tag on First Line Reader, and the tag was originally created by A Darker Shade of Whitney.
RECENTLY WATCHED: The last book you finished reading
I’ve been a big fan of Raina Telgemeier for years, and I was so excited to find Guts at the comic shop last week!
TOP PICKS: A book/books that have been recommended to you based on a book you have previously read
Ghosting You was recommended to me not long ago, based on the fact that I read and adored Like a Love Story.
RECENTLY ADDED: The last book you bought
I bought both Sky Without Stars and Loki: Where Mischief Lies last week, and I’m excited to read them both!
POPULAR ON NETFLIX: Books that everyone knows about (2 you’ve read and 2 you haven’t or have no interest in reading)
Both The Poet X and Red Queen have received tons of hype over the years, but I have very different opinions about them: the former was an absolute triumph, and the latter was…ugh. Nope.
I’ve been recommended both The Hate U Give and One of Us is Lying countless times, but I’m not super invested in reading them. I might, but they’re low on my priority.
COMEDIES: A funny book
I know I use this one every time I do a book tag, but Good Omens had me in stitches.
DRAMA: A character who is a drama king/queen
Elliot from In Other Lands was the very definition of melodramatic…part of why I DNF’d this book, ultimately.
ANIMATED: A book with cartoons on the cover
As iffy as Eliza and Her Monsters was, the cover was super cute.
WATCH AGAIN: A book/series you want to read again
I haven’t read The Catcher in the Rye since we read it for my English class last year, but I enjoyed it immensely.
DOCUMENTARIES: A nonfiction book that you’d recommend to everybody
My nonfiction shelf is pretty slim, but for those of you who are writers/aspiring writers, I’d highly recommend On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft.
ACTION AND ADVENTURE: An action-packed book
Though it was a bit more slow-burn at the beginning, The Smoke Thieves managed to keep me on my toes for a good 3/4 of the book.
NEW RELEASES: A book that just came out or will be coming out soon that you can’t wait to read
I had no idea this had come out until my school librarian (who I recommended the series to, and now loves it 😄) told me that it had come out! I cannot WAIT to get my hands on Honor Lost!
I tag anyone that wants to participate!
Since I’ve already posted today, I won’t post a second song today, so just check out Goodreads Monday (2/17/20)–From Under the Mountain if you want to see what it is 🙂
That just about wraps up this tag! Have a wonderful day, and take care of yourselves!
