Yes, you read that right in the title. A book tag. They were huge on YouTube and within the blogging community years ago, and quite frankly I'd love to see more around! So, I have done some deep research and found an Autumn-inspired book tag. I found this one on Books, Baking, and Blogging page! So, let's get started!
1. Are there any books you plan on reading over the autumn season?
Yes! I recently picked up a copy of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, and Stephen King's IT. I'm starting the first one this week, and hopefully, have them both finished by the end of October. Other than those two, I'll be trying to dwindle down my never-ending TBR shelf ready for the new year!
2. September brings back school memories: what book did you most enjoy studying?
This is such a great question, I loved studying books at school. And that's why I continued to do it at Uni, so I have studied MANY books. My favourite book to study has to be Charles Dickens's Great Expectations, we did it at A-Level and it was such a brilliant book to analyse and read.
3. October means Halloween: do you enjoy scary books and films? If so what are some of your favourites?
Okay, so yes and no. I enjoy scary things, but they cause me severe nightmares. So, I have to keep scary things to the daytime because my brain can't handle these things at night. The best scary film I ever watched was The Descent. Unfortunately, I haven't found a favourite scary book yet! I did enjoy a thriller a couple years back by Helen Fields, it was called Perfect Prey and it was a detective story following a serial killer. I remember reading on a long train journey home at night and it really freaked me out. I am still very much on the search for a favourite horror book.
4. With November it’s time for bonfire night and firework displays. What’s the most exciting book you’ve read that really kept you gripped?
If you've been here a while this answer won't surprise you at all. But I stand by it every time, the Divergent trilogy. I love them with my whole being, no matter how many times I read them I am gripped. Every. Single. Time. Kudos to Veronica Roth for capturing my heart with this series.
5. What book is your favourite cosy comfort read?
Again, this will surprise no one but The Great Gatsby. I read it at least once a year, it's beautiful and heartbreaking. It will forever be my go-to book when I'm feeling a little out of sorts.
6. Curled up with a good book, what is your hot drink of choice?
This is a no brainer: a nice cup of tea. Just your simple British tea (Tetley or Yorkshire) goes down nicely whilst reading. If I'm about reading in a coffee shop though it's a latte, I have trust issues when it comes to other people making me a cup of tea.
7. Any autumn recommendations for other readers:
I haven't read many horror books but I do enjoy fantasy and anything witchy! Here are a few books I've read that fit the season:
- The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling
- Coraline by Neil Gaiman
- Witch by Finbar Hawkins
- Cunning Women by Elizabeth Lee
I really enjoyed doing this book tag, I think there will definitely be more on the blog in the future! Thank you for reading, and be amazing as ever. Stay tuned for a book review next week!
