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

Panic! at the Disco Book Tag
I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK! YES! IT'S SO NICE TO USE A KEYBOARD AGAIN. I may need to fiddle around with this stupid thing for a couple of days, but I can start writing in the mornings again! Back to book tags! I've been listening to Panic! at the Disco's new album for motivation, hence… Continue reading Panic! at the Disco Book Tag
Birthday Book Tag
My birthday isn't until January. I've already begun planning. I want a Fudgey the Whale cake. And books. And gold-spotted turquoise wrapping paper, if possible. The day off would be nice. I found a great birthday tag (thanks, Coffee, Cocktails, and Books!) In honor of my unbirthday, I plan to celebrate. Birthday Cake A… Continue reading Birthday Book Tag
7 Deadly Sins Book Tag
It's Sunday and I'm headed to church. I wanted to stay on theme. (Sort of? My church views sin differently than other churches. Don't get me started.) Thanks Berries and Books for your great post on the topic. Greed What is the most expensive book you own? I received a beautiful coffee table book… Continue reading 7 Deadly Sins Book Tag
OMG This Song Book Tag
I'm sensitive about my own music tastes and judgmental of others'. A music/book tag sounds like a PERFECT COMBINATION FOR MY ANXIETY! According to Google, Kate's Book Date started this tag on BookTube. I'm excited. MY JAM A song you MUST listen to every time it comes on, no matter how old or how many… Continue reading OMG This Song Book Tag
The Fall Time Cozy Book Tag
I'm LOVING the weather change. The last few days have been foggy and freezing. Yesterday, I walked to improv class shivering. Today, I wore a CARDIGAN. Worth it. I nabbed this tag from The Awkward Book Blogger because it pleased me...and because I lost interest in my other fall-themed tag. Double prizes! Crunching Leaves The… Continue reading The Fall Time Cozy Book Tag
Hocus Pocus Book Tag
I don't normally celebrate Halloween. My friends like to go out and party. I stay home, eat candy, and watch The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra....if I remember the holiday at all. But this year, I feel my excitement growing. My team at work plans to win our company's costume contest. (Revealing our plans would compromise the… Continue reading Hocus Pocus Book Tag
The Music Genre Book Tag: Volume 2
Who loves music? I LOVE MUSIC. That is all the intro I have left in me. Thanks to For the Lover of Books and The Book Princess for creating and continuing this tag. Celtic Punk Favorite Obscure Book/Book with a Non-Western Setting The obscure books I like are too obscure for even ME to remember.… Continue reading The Music Genre Book Tag: Volume 2
Chocolate Book Tag
Safeway was out of Take Fives when I went grocery shopping last week. I could buy some at the Bartell's not TWO BLOCKS from my office, but...writing and Jodi Picoult books and laundry... This is an older tag, but chocolate is eternal. Better yet, it's almost Halloween. Chocolate must be discussed. Dark Chocolate A book… Continue reading Chocolate Book Tag
You’re Not Good Enough Book Tag
I had a hard time coming up with characters for this book tag. I need to read more YA. With "adult" novels, I don't tend to care about (or remember) the characters. "The THEMES are the really important thing-" No. False. Write better characters. ANYWAY. I found this tag and loved it. The gist of… Continue reading You’re Not Good Enough Book Tag
