Today I’m doing the Ride Of Die Book Tag. This tag was originally created by LadetteM, don’t forget to check out the original video. I was tagged by the ever so lovely Ely from Earl Grey Books, aka my best friend. 

1. The BFF: A book that not everyone likes, but has been with you since the start. You’ll always love them

hmm. This has to be the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. People either love or hate it. But this series has a soft place in my heart and I’m really enjoying the companion series quite a lit. It’s great being back in this world. 

2. The Long Drive: A book you’d take on a journey, or if you know you’ll be spending a lot of time unable to move. Think Plane, Train or Automobile

I take a book that won’t make me cry – which is hard. I cry through a lot of books. But I would either take something that is long so it will last me a long time. Or take a few books on my kindle that I can just read. It’s a great time to binge-read a romance series. 

A book that comes to mind is Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare – it’s long, action-packed and will keep me entertained.  

3. The Newcomer: The most recent book you’ve read that you can’t stop talking about

This is an easy one for me. It’s The House in The Cerulean Sea by T.J Klune. I think you all might be sick of me talking about it now. But I adore this book so much. I’m not only recommending it to bloggers but customers as well. It’s a magical and profound novel that truly takes the reader on an experience. It explores family and the notion that sometimes you find them in unlikely ways. Check out my full review now.

4. The Quiet One: The book you reach for when you need some peace and quiet

Ohh. Historical romances for sure. It’s a sub-genre of romance that I just fall into and just be at peace. It’s the genre that I can love what I am reading no matter what. At the moment I’m loving the Girl Meets Duke series by Tessa Dare. 

5. The Out-Going One: The book you love to read in public, or don’t mind keeping with you for anti-social-social occasions

Something that is easier to carry. I normally like using the kindle app on my phone or my kindle when I’m on the train. My line can get pretty busy and if I’m travelling during peak hours – I rarely get a seat. So it’s easier to read on the phone. Obviously, at the moment I can’t go to many places, but YA contemporaries like Alex, Approxently by Jenn Bennett. 

6. The Guilty Pleasure: The book you don’t want to justify because it would be too embarrassing… but you love it none the less

I don’t really like this term. A few years ago – it would have been something I said for sure. But I’m always reading romances and don’t care. You read what you want – unless it’s harmful to others. 

7. The Stranger: The book no one seems to have heard of, and you wish everyone had read it so you could talk about it

This is starting to get more traction now, Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) and Always Only You (Bergman Brothers #2) by Chloe Liese. These two are some of my favourite romances at the moment and I want more people to read them. They are fantastic romances that are diverse and I need more. You can check out my review of Only When It’s Us now.  

8. The Book Was Better: A book you loved, but the film adaptation was awful

So, so many. I rarely like a book to movie adaptions. But one that jumps out at me is the City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. In saying that I don’t like either the movie or tv series adaption. Just none of them worked for me. I can normally give a little leeway for changes, but both of these just had too much and didn’t work for me.  

9. The Author: An author you’ll read everything they’ll ever produce, you trust them completely. Whether it’s a hardback series of 15 novels or a shopping list

At the moment it has to be Rebecca Yarros. I’ve got 2 more books to read from her that she has published – I have them. I just haven’t picked them up yet. I have adored all the books I have read that she has written. My favourite has to be The Last Letter. 

10. The Tubers: Pick three Youtubers, tag them and let them know they’re your ride or die!

While I wish this said blogger or Booktuber – I tag anyone that wants to do the tag. Let me know if you do. 

And that is it for today’s post! Do you agree with my answers? What would yours be? Have you done the ride or die book tag? Let’s Chat!
