Today I am trying my hand at creating my very first book tag! I was inspired by Alex and her comment that she loves Taylor Swift but hadn’t found a Lover tag yet. Daniel also helped me come up with some of these prompts!
Rules:
- Link back to the creator, Sara @ The Bibliophagist!
- Answer the questions!
- Tag whoever you want and link back to the person who tagged you!
I Forgot That You Existed: a book from your childhood that you don’t remember anything about
♪ it isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference ♪

Here’s the thing: I remember reading Island of the Blue Dolphins. I remember owning Island of the Blue Dolphins. I remember literally nothing — like, not even one thing — about this book.
Cruel Summer: the worst book you’ve read this summer
♪ it’s blue, the feeling I’ve got and it’s… it’s a cruel summer ♪

Honestly, it’s been a summer of pretty bad books. The worst one I’ve read is probably Little Birds, which was just the cringiest “erotica” I’ve ever read.
Lover: a bookish relationship that’s perfect exactly the way it is
♪ can we always be this close forever and ever ♪

Did you think I was going to say Josh and Lucy from The Hating Game? I kind of thought I would, but then I remembered that Zorie and Lennon are possibly even better, so I went with Starry Eyes instead.
The Man: a book with a badass female main character
♪ if I was a man, then I’d be the man ♪

Throne of Glass was the first series to come to mind!
The Archer: a book with great character development

The most recent book I can think of with really good character development is The Music of What Happens. Both Max and Jordan learn a lot about themselves and the way they interact with others throughout the course of this book, and it was honestly so refreshing to read about.
I Think He Knows: your fictional crush
♪ he got my heartbeat skipping down 16th Avenue ♪

Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince: a book set in high school
♪ waving homecoming queens, marching band playing, I’m lost in the lights ♪

The high school setting is actually really important in You Asked for Perfect, because it’s all about how the main character deals with the stress of taking advanced classes and keeping up with all of his extracurriculars.
Paper Rings: a book with a happy ending
♪ I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings ♪

Some Kind of Perfect serves as kind of an epilogue to a very, very long series, and it just wraps everything up so well. Everything does end on a pretty happy note, but it doesn’t feel forced or anything.
Cornelia Street: a setting you’ll never forget
♪ “I rent a place on Cornelia Street,” I say casually in the car ♪

The different Londons in the Shades of Magic series are so vivid that I don’t think I’ll ever forget them!
Death by a Thousand Cuts: a book that broke your heart
♪ I can’t pretend that it’s okay when it’s not ♪

I might as well go with Me Before You, which left me a sobbing mess.
London Boy: a setting that plays a big role in the story
♪ show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride ♪

Of all the settings I could have chosen for this one, I thought I’d go with the Rampion from The Lunar Chronicles. This ship is such a big part of the series!
Soon You’ll Get Better: a book that made you cry
♪ what am I supposed to do if there’s no you? ♪

So, yes, Me Before You made me sob. Love and Other Words also made me cry many tears. I read this book more than a year ago and I still think about it sometimes.
False God: a book with a well-written sexy scene
♪ I know heaven’s a thing, I go there when you touch me, honey ♪

There was a sexy scene in Not So Nice Guy that I’m pretty sure gave me actual palpitations.
You Need to Calm Down: a book featuring an LGBT romance
♪ shade never made anybody less gay ♪

I think my favorite LGBT romance of the year has been Bloom.
Afterglow: a great second chance romance
♪ why’d I have to break what I love so much? ♪

Quite honestly, I remember very little of Man Candy aside from the fact that it was very sexy and I liked it a lot.
ME!: your all-time favorite book
♪ I promise that you’ll never find another like me ♪

I never really know what to say when someone asks me for my favorite book, but I don’t think I can go wrong with The Hating Game.
It’s Nice to Have a Friend: your favorite friends-to-lovers book
♪ something gave you the nerve to touch my hand ♪

A difficult question, for sure. I think I’d have to go with the Addicted series.
Daylight: a book with a positive message
♪ you gotta step into the daylight and let it go ♪

The message of The Prince and the Dressmaker is pretty much to be yourself because you’re okay the way you are, and what’s more positive than that?
I’m tagging: Alex ❤ Lori ❤ Mandy & Sha ❤ Arin ❤ Dini ❤ Brittany ❤ You!

I hope you enjoyed my first ever original tag! (I know I had fun making it!) I’d love to see your answers, either in the comments or in your own post. ❤

Oh my gosh this is an amazing idea, just listened to the album last night and I loved it! This may be a silly question, but how does tagging other users work on WordPress? I can only ‘@’ myself when I’m writing a blog post…or does linking to another blogger’s post/page automatically notify them (aka act as a ‘tag’)? Thanks 😅

The only thing I remember about Island of the Blue Dolphins is that it was the first time I ever saw the word “Aleutian” and also that part where her brother gets eaten by wolves.
I remember a lot of the scenes from Thunder Rolling in the Mountains though, which was a better book, in my opinion.

Well it’s probably been at least twenty years for me too, but I don’t think I have read as many books since. Then again, I don’t remember the books I don’t remember. So who knows how many I’ve read. I guess I don’t O.O

Ah, this is such a fun tag that you created!! I loved reading your prompts for them. The different Londons from A Darker Shade of Magic is one of the most iconic settings, and I definitely won’t be forgetting it either. I also can’t imagine The Lunar Chronicles without the Rampion. Thank you so much for tagging me and Sha! Wonderful post, and we can’t wait to do it! 🙂

I love seeing so many amazing books, like Addicted series and The Lunar Chronicles. I also really like Throne of Glass and The Kiss Quotient. I still haven’t read the second book of Shades of Magic series. I got the first book as a gift and the romance wasn’t that good and I’m just not sure I want to continue it.

I can understand that, the romance isn’t a big part of the plot in the Shades of Magic series. If you like fantasy, you might like the rest of the series, but the level of romance stays pretty much the same.
