So I did the musical theatre tag a few months ago now and then I saw that there was a new one and I couldn’t stop myself. So here we are again. This tag was created by Book Browsing Blog over on Youtube. I wasn’t tagged by anyone, but I love musical theatre so I had to do it. 

 

HAMILTON – ‘Satisfied’  | What book had an unsatisfying ending or needs a sequel?

I would love a sequel to A King so Cold by Ella Fields. I’m not sure if there is going to be one, but I would love to know more about what is happening after the book finished. It’s one of those endings that if we don’t get a sequel it’s okay. But it would make it even better if there is. You can check out my full review of it now to find out more. 

EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE – ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ | What is a really hyped book you want to read-only because of the hype?

I don’t think there is any just because of the hype. I normally don’t pick up a book if I don’t think I will be interested in it. I feel like it’s a waste of my time if I do that. But a hyped book that I do want to pick up is Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert. My copy is on its way right now and I’m so excited. 

ANASTASIA – ‘Journey to the Past’ | Name a book that features flashbacks or developed backstories.

For this, it has to be a recent read of mine, Lies & Lullabies (Hush Note #1) by Sarina Bowen. I think it did an excellent job at navigating flashbacks while also moving the story forward. It was a great way to understand the two protagonists before the book started and see where they have come. You can check out my full review. 

BE MORE CHILL – ‘Michael in the Bathroom’ | If you were escaping a party by hiding in a bathroom, what book would you take with you?

I always want to escape parties, and in reality, it’s whatever I have on my phone that I can delve into. But at the moment I would pick the next Nalini Singh that I want to read, which is Hostage to Pleasure (Psy-Changeling #5). I’m loving this series and I can’t wait to read more. 

SIX – ‘Ex-Wives’ | Name a book that is a twist or retelling of a well-known story.

I love reading retellings or a twist on a well-known story and I could list many that I adore. I could do a whole post of this. But one of my recentish reads of a retelling that I adored was Romanov by Nadine Brandes. It was beautifully written, an interesting story and I could not out it down. Here is my full review for more. 

THE LAST FIVE YEARS – ‘Still Hurting’ | What book hurt you and has stuck with you ever since?

I can just think about The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros and want to cry. This book tore me into so many little pieces I can’t even explain it. It’s emotional, beautiful and it hurt a lot. 

COME FROM AWAY – ‘Me and the Sky’ | Pick a book that features your dream job, real or fantastical.

My dream job would be to work in publishing and the one that I can book that I can think of at the moment is The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary. 

NEWSIES – ‘Santa Fe’ | What fictional place would you love to visit?

Oh so many. But at the moment I would love to live in the Psy-Changeling world. While there are some not so great parts, there are also so many amazing parts. Beautiful shapeshifters, lots of cubs and so much more. 

WAITRESS – ‘When He Sees Me’ | What book did you fall in love with the second you saw the cover?

If I didn’t pick The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune. This cover just has so much simple in a way, but also so beautiful. The colours, the house. It all works. Plus I adore this book to bits. 

DEAR EVAN HANSEN – ‘Disappear’ | Hype an underrated backlist book.

If you haven’t read The Conqueror’s Saga by Kiersten White. I adore this series and I’m always recommending it. It’s just fantastic and I think that more people need to read it.

LEGALLY BLONDE – ‘What You Want’ | What do you want to see more of in books?

Disability. I don’t think I have to say too much about it. But I would love to see more disability in everything that I read. I did write about it recently, which you can check out now. 

And that is it for this tag. I had so much fun doing the Musical Theatre Book Tag. It was a blast and I love that tag used newer musicals as well.
