Book Tags

Easter Book Tag

Happy Friday Bookish people! I hope you are all having a good day today. It is nearly easter, for those who celebrate it, and I thought it would be fun to do an easter themed book tag. I found this tag on life of a female bibliophile.

Rabbits: a book you wish would multiply (have a sequel): I chose The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner. I loved this book with its atmosphere and I think there were strands of the plot that would make excellent stories.

Egg – a book that surprised you: The Clockwork Sparrow by Katherine Woodfine. It is a middle grade novel but I had a lot of fun reading it and it reminded me of that TV show, The Paradise, if any of you have heard of that.

Hunt – a book that was hard to get your hands on: the Barnes and Noble edition of Pride and Prejudice to match my set, I live in the UK so it was lucky for me to find any of these.

Lambs – a children’s book you still enjoy: The Stardust series by Linda Chapman. I adore these books, they are quite dark for young children but they’re all about magic and friendship.

Spring – a book cover that makes you think of spring: the Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E Harrow, simply because it has flowers on the cover.

Rising from the dead – a book by a deceased author: Going Postal by Terry Pratchett, its the first one I thought of.

Baskets – in your amazon cart right now: so many but I’m going to go with Starling House by Alix E Harrow

Candy – a book that is sweet: By The Book by Amanda Sellett

Monthly Wrap Ups

December Wrap Up!

Happy Monday bookish people and Happy New Year! Can you believe it is 2024 already? Time is going so fast and so much happened in 2023, bad things and good things. I won’t get into the bad things, who needs negativity on the first day of the New Year, but some of the good things were having my first stall at Comic Con for my business (The Blind Scribe), and I had a play performed in the Theatre, such a strange but incredible experience, plus I met my boyfriend through the process, he was one of the actors. So, 2023 was overall a pretty good year and to top it all off, I completed my December TBR which I think is the first time I have done that since I started making them. A good end to the year.

so, the books I read in December were:

  • Murder in Midwinter a short story collection (3 stars)
  • Murder on Christmas Eve a short story collection (3 stars)
  • The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese (4 stars) review coming on the 22nd January
  • Murder on the Christmas Express by Alexandra Benedict (3 stars)
  • The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett (4 stars)
  • The Anne Boleyn Bible by Mickey Mayhew (4 stars) review coming on the 15th January
  • The Vanished Bride by Bella Ellis (5 stars) review coming on the 8th January

as you can see my favourite read of the month was The Vanished Bride by Bella Ellis, a gothic murder mystery novel I thought it was excellent.
