Fall Book Tag

I'm doing my best to summon fall. It's 80 DEGREES, today. Are you JOKING? I'm supposed to be eating SOUP. I don't believe I did this tag last year, so here it goes. Come on, fall. Bring your fog and your crisp afternoons. I found this tag on Kristin's blog with the following rules: Please… Continue reading Fall Book Tag

Dreamy Book Cover Tag

Jenna tagged me in this visually-inspired book tag. I found out last year that - surprise, surprise - I learn visually after years of claiming to be an auditory processor. Turns out being a musician does not an auditory processor make. For this tag, I got to pick some of my favorite book covers, which… Continue reading Dreamy Book Cover Tag

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY: Birthday Book Tag

It's my birthday. I hit 26 this year. I feel less like a baby, which is nice. I also have PLANS WITH FRIENDS. 2019 is looking up.   Count your birth date along your bookshelf. Then subtract your birth month and go back the same number of books. I have two different bookshelves on opposite… Continue reading IT’S MY BIRTHDAY: Birthday Book Tag

Christmas Cuisine Book Tag

I found an older post on Beth's blog chock-full of foods I've never heard of. The idea of a Christmas feast scares me (carrot casserole!?), but I couldn't resist the tag. Happy Christmas, Harry. Yule Log: A beautiful edition of a book that you won’t touch for fear of ruining it. I've almost purchased the… Continue reading Christmas Cuisine Book Tag

My doctor just upped my meds, so I may be able to feel joy again soon! It's already December 12th. I need to drum up some joy. Let's celebrate Christmas.

Bare Your Bookshelf Tag

Kacey wrote a post so great on Tales of a Bibliophile that I had to do this tag for myself. That's all there is to it.   Book You Own But Haven't Read Yet There are so many of them... I bought The Great Glass Sea the same, fateful day I purchased The Cake Therapist. I often think… Continue reading Bare Your Bookshelf Tag

Book Courtship Tag

I'm freaking out about the Nick and Diane romance from Come From Away. I get "Stop the World" stuck in my head all the time. Sometimes I tear up. I'm not proud. But I'm fascinated by their courtship. The couple met because of 9/11 and fell in love over five days. HOW? I don't have the… Continue reading Book Courtship Tag

The “How I Choose my Books” Tag

In a word: cover. Although, upon further examination, that's not always true. A book has to have an interesting cover (and title) for me to pick it up, but neither of those things guarantees that I'll read it. This tag lets me explain what draws me to certain books.   Find a book on your… Continue reading The “How I Choose my Books” Tag

#NotAll Book Tag

Can't stop, won't stop. I'm not cool enough to use sassy hashtags on Twitter. I will GLADLY use them for books, though. Shout-outs to creator The Orangutan Librarian and to Book Hooked Nook for inspiration.   #NOTALL COVER CHANGES A COVER CHANGE YOU LIKED The original cover for this classic is one of the worst… Continue reading #NotAll Book Tag

The Cheesy Goodness Book Tag

Sad story: I found a lump of leftover mozzarella in my fridge. That's not the sad part. I could have SWORN I'd used all the mozzarella earlier in the week. Elated, I set about making a cheese sandwich. I reached for the bag of mozzarella. My fingers closed around a hard-edged lump. It was an… Continue reading The Cheesy Goodness Book Tag
