Entertainer Book Tag

I was tagged by LaRonda and I refuse to let this tag sit until I forget about it (like I do with all of my other tags!!!) so I’m trying to whip this out as quick as I can! 😅

I like this tag specifically because it changes every time, so you can potentially be tagged more than once but have completely different questions each time!

Rules:

1. When you are tagged, the person who tagged you provides 6 questions.
2. When you tag other, you provide them different 6 questions.
3. The cycle continues!

Insta-buy Author

 

• Sarah Dessen has always and forever been one of auto-buy authors since I was a younging at like age 14 (but since I have all of her books in paperback, I’m very particular with her and tend to only buy her books in paperback).
• I am complete Leigh Bardugo trash and will literally inhale anything and everything she’s every written.
• Barbara Kingsolver, Libba Bray, Jhumpa Lahiri are all authors who I have not read all of their works (yet!!) but I am in the intentional process of trying to read everything, and I’ll definitely be on top of their new release schedules.

A book everyone has rec’ed you but you haven’t read yet

 

 

 

 

My friend recommended The Name of the Wind three years later it is still sitting on my shelf, unread. 😑

I also have seen books like Children of Blood and Bone and An Ember in the Ashes floating around that haven’t been directly recommended to me but are still popular and I also own but haven’t read yet.

A book you’d rec everyone

Oh hi hello this is my favorite thing to do.

 

 

 

 

• Six of Crows has become one of my favorite books of all time and honestly if you haven’t gotten around to reading it yet, you should definitely make it a priority.
• Fullmetal Alchemist is my all-time favorite story across all mediums and it is written by a powerhouse phenomenal woman and I could gush over it for days. (I also highly recommend both anime but since this is a book blog definitely read the books.)
• Beartown was the first Fredrik Backman book I read and it was one of the best book I read in such a long time and it handles a sexual assault really well.
• I listened to Prodigal Summer on audiobook this year and since then no other audiobook will ever compare. This is one of the most gorgeous, lyrical books I’ve ever read, Barbara Kingsolver is a genius.
• I read Heart Berries in an afternoon and the following day returned my copy to the library and immediately went to the bookstore to buy it. This is such a poetic memoir and I CRIED while reading this it is absolutely required reading.

A book everyone loved but you didn’t

 

So I didn’t actually hate The Hunger Games, I just didn’t love it as much as everyone else seemed to. I read them as they were being published, so I read the second book immediately after it came out but lost interest so I never finished the series.

 

A book you loved but has a low rating on GR

 

 

 

 

• What You Don’t Know About Charlie Outlaw has a 3.27 but honestly I don’t know why because I absolutely loved this book. I ended up giving it a 4 ⭐️ rating, only knocking it down because of lack of diversity. I’m honestly shocked that it has such an average rating.
• I am not surprised Meddling Kids is at a 3.59. I gave it 5 ⭐️ but knowing that the writing style is definitely not for everyone.

Most anticipated release for the second half of 2018

BRIDGE OF CLAY HAS BEEN MY MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE SINCE LIKE MAYBE 2011 SO YEAH I GUESS IT’S SAFE TO SAY I’M JUST CASUALLY WAITING FOR OCTOBER 9 NO BIGGIE
