If I Could Only Keep 20 Books, Here Are The Ones I Would Pick Tag Game:

A booktuber I sometimes watch, Chandler Ainsley, did a video titled this, and it prompted me to think about what books I would pick. As someone with almost 400 books, I thought this would be a fun challenge. I'm going to try to make it into a tag game, and see how it does.

The Twenty Book Challenge:

If you could only keep 20 books (physical/ebook/audio), which would be the ones you would keep?

Rules are simple:

1 book per author. 1 book per series. Tag #twenty books challenge

Tagging (no pressure): @yourneighborhoodbibliophile @e-b-reads @the-forest-library @ninja-muse @sixofravens-reads @ofliterarynature + anyone who wants to do this!

Book Tag Game

Hi nobody actually tagged me, I just wanted to do it for fun.

hardcover or paperback // bookstore or library // bookmark or receipt // stand alone or series // nonfiction or fiction // thriller or fantasy // under 300 pages or over 300 pages // children's or ya // friends to lovers or enemies to lovers // read in bed or read on the couch // read at night or read in the morning // keep pristine or markup //cracked spine (but I don’t mean to!) or dog ear

Feel free to do this yourself, here’s the template:

hardcover or paperback // bookstore or library // bookmark or receipt // stand alone or series // nonfiction or fiction // thriller or fantasy // under 300 pages or over 300 pages // children's or ya // friends to lovers or enemies to lovers // read in bed or read on the couch // read at night or read in the morning // keep pristine or markup // cracked spine or dog ear

13 books tag game

Was tagged by @polarcell! Heeeee~ I'm so glad I've gotten back into reading and can do this happily without struggle!

1) The last book I read:

Infidels by Andrew Wheatcroft. It's mediocre. The research is only strong when it concerns Spain, and everything else is skimmed over heavily. There is a distinct lack of Arab/Muslim sources the further along you go with blatant biases towards the Western pov and the end is absolutely fucking incoherent. Not a complete loss but mostly useless and woefully caught up in the madness that was America post-invasion of Iraq.

2) A book I recommend:

A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan. I recommend it to literally everyone whenever I can, the whole series is so good.

3) A book that I couldn’t put down:

Much to my chagrin, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. It reads like a fanfic so it flows dangerously fast and I read it all in one sitting. However I don't think it's particularly... good? It's fine, but it's verging on the "empty entertainment" I dislike from fiction books I read.

4) A book I’ve read twice (or more):

Apart from the worst possible answer (I read Prisoner of Azkaban so many times between the ages of nine and fifteen it's basically imprinted on the inside of my skull), I'm going to say The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It's the first Narnia book I read, and it's still my favourite. I love Reepicheep so much it's stupid.

5) A book on my TBR:

There are so goddamn many Jesus wept. Perhaps Madhouse at the End of the Earth by Julian Sancton. Continue some good old-fashioned Hubris in the Artic/Antartic genre of historical event.

6) A book I’ve put down:

Price and Prejudice. Trying to get a middle schooler to read this was a stupid endeavour and I hated it and did not finish it. Nor do I ever actually want to. It takes a lot for me to actually put down a book and not finish it.

7) A book on my wish list:

The Best Land under Heaven by Michael Wallis. I've yet to read something comprehensive about the Donner Party and this one looks good.

8) A favorite book from childhood:

The Dragon's Quest by Rosemary Manning. I loved how eloquent and charming the dragon was.

9) A book you would give to a friend:

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. It changed me and I need to pass on the smell of the sea and the feel of salt-stained marble.

10) A book of poetry or lyrics that you own

Literally the only poetry book I own is The Penguin Book of Greek Verse and I've barely touched it. I don't really do poetry.

11) A nonfiction book you own:

How am I supposed to choose? I have so many that I bought for uni and for my own enjoyment. I guess I'll choose The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé. I have yet to read it because it requires a lot of spoons to read books like this right now, and I used a lot of them up on The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi.

12) What are you currently reading:

Hurdy Gurdy by Christopher Wilson and Same-Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rome by Gary Ferguson. I'm enjoying Hurdy Gurdy so far, I forget how quickly fiction goes compared to non-fiction. Same-Sex Marriage is proceeding apace, but I really should have taken more notes as I read, if I'm going to be writing fic based on it.

13) What are you planning on reading next?

Fuck if I know, I'll just pull something out of the towering pile and get to it. It has to have the right Vibes for the moment, though, and those Vibes are mysterious at best.

End of the Year Book Tag

I saw this set of questions on Emily Fox's channel on booktube, and thought it would be fun to fill out and share here. This is a set of 6 questions geared towards November- December & wrapping up 2023.

1.Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?

Nope. I don't tend to start a book and then put it down for later. I usually either read it or dnf.

2.Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?

I'm hoping to start a reread of A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows soon. This was a favorite from last year and is a great fantasy romance that should be a good autumn --> winter book.

3.Is there a new release you're still waiting for?

All The Hidden Paths by Foz Meadows! This comes out Dec 5th, and I'm hoping to start it as soon as I'm done with my reread of book 1.

4.What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?

The Damar books by Robin McKinley

A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos (about time I start this series!)

Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard

5.Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite?

I don't think there are any books that could currently top my #1, but I'm hoping to get some 5 star books before the end of the year.

6.Have you already started making reading plans for 2024?

Oh yeah. There are so many new releases I'm excited for in Jan/Feb/March, and I'm hoping to get to as many as I possibly can. I'm also hoping to continue to read some series that I started at the end of this year.

If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged, and feel free to copy/paste these questions and fill them out!

Spring Scavenger Hunt 🌺🌻🌼

Thank you so much @bulletnotestudies for tagging me !!💜🌿

A book that starts with S: The Sculptor by Scott McCloud, I read this amazing graphic novel many years ago now, and I remember loving it so much. I should do a reread.

A book with birds on the cover: Tales and Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe, I have a huge penguin edition with a raven on the the cover, and even a small raven on the spine. It's one of the best looking books I own.

A book with insects on the cover: The Bazaar Of Bad Dreams by Stephen King, I struggled to find a book for this question in my shelves, then I remembered that my copy of this short story collection has bufferflies in the illustration.

A book with flowers on the cover: Hamnet by Maggie O'Farell, my copy has botanical illustrations as well as a couple of animals on it so I thought it would fit.

A book that takes place in springtime: Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio, I have struggled so much to remember about a book set in spring, and I am not even sure if I remember correctly about this Italian classic. I know for a fact that the Plague in which the story is set hit Florence around springtime, which is why I decided to pick this book. Also it's one of my favourite Italian classics, and I never find the right excuse to talk about it.

Tagging (no pressure): @just-a-cup-of-anxietea , @contre-qui , @tranquilstudy , @lau-and-history , @mossy-studies , @illuminatingnun , @world-of-lit , @starrystvdy and @sage-studies , plus whoever sees this on their dash and wants to do it!
