My Life in Books | Book Tag

My Life in Books | Book Tag

July 17, 2020 Posted by angelreads Book Tag No Comments

Book Tag Time! I just always have so much fun doing bookish tags and I want to do them a lot more. Are you enjoying them? Today I’ve decided to do the My Life In Books Tag. I can’t seem to find the original creator, but if anyone knows whom that might be. Please do let me know. I did see this tag over at Pretty Purple Polka Dots. So go and check them out! 

Before I get into this, I just want to check in with you all. Are you doing okay? How is everything going? What are you reading at the moment? I hope everything is good with you all. Let’s get into today’s bookish tag. 

I tried to do something different here and with questions that didn’t regard books that I haven’t read yet. I tried to pick from my read books. Mostly trying to stick with books that I’ve read in the last couple of years. 

Find a book for each of your initials

A: After the Fall (The Fallen Men #4) by Giana Darling. I just posted my series review the other day, but gosh damn did this book hurt. 

S: Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles #2) by Marissa Meyer. I did a re-read of this series a few months ago and gosh damn I love it. Scarlet is probably my least favourite, but it’s still a 4 star. 

G: Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes. I read this one a few months ago and it was such a fantastic read. Check out my review now. 

Count your age along your bookshelf – what book is it?

So this is slightly hard at the moment as I’m current re-arranging and building new bookcases. So my books are all over the place. But I just started from the first stack of books that I currently have. 

The Midnight Lie (The Midnight Lie #1) by Marie Rutkoski is the one that was picked! Ah, I need to get on reading this one. Marie Rutkoski’s Winners Trilogy is one of my favourites and I can’t wait to read more from her. 

A book set in your city/country

Every Breath (Every #1) by Ellie Marney has to be my pick for this one. It’s one of my favourite books and series of all time – and it’s set in Melbourne. I just love everything about this series. It’s got so many things that I love and if you haven’t had the chance to pick it up please do. 

A book that represents a destination you’d love to travel to

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore. I mean I’ve already been to the UK. But I am dying to go again. I could live there. That’s not just a saying. I want to live there. But we will see. I love Bringing Down the Duke so much, and if you haven’t had the chance to check out my review, do. 

A book that’s your favourite colour

If you haven’t realised purple is my favourite colour. Has been since I was little, I don’t even think I’ve ever had a different favourite colour. I picked Who Wants to Marry a Duke (Duke Dynasty #3) by Sabrina Jeffries for this one, look at that cover. And also I’m loving Sabrina Jefferies at the moment. My review for this one will be coming very soon! 

Which book do you have the fondest memories of?

This just has to be Cassandra Clare books in general. She introduced me to this world that I now love so much. Her characters are fantastic, her plots kill me and the romances are seriously some of the best. Lady Midnight was a game-changer for me and gosh I just want to read more and more. 

Which book did you have the most difficulty reading?

I really didn’t know which way to go with this question. Was it hard because of the content or just hard to get through? I’m going with a book that made me cry so damn much and that is The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo. 

I’m not even joking I cried for the last 4o minutes of the audio. And not a nice little tear, I was a full-on sobbing mess. Check out my review for more. 

Which book in your TBR pile will give you the biggest accomplishment when you finish it?

This isn’t hard. The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray. This is on my Best Friend TBR and I still haven’t read it. I will get to it. I hope. I’ve tried it once before and it wasn’t what I in the mood for. Hopefully, soon I can pick it. 

And that is it for the My Life In Books Tag! I had so much fun with this one, and some of the questions really made me think. I’m not tagging anyone, but if you would like to do it, then consider yourself tagged! Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
