Six in Six Book Tag

Dini @ dinipandareads19 Comments

Happy Monday, book pandas! I’m back with a tag today and it’s the Six in Six Book Tag! I’ve had this on my radar for a while after spotting it on Leyre @ Read You Leyre‘s page. I found it unique because it’s kind of like a “choose your own adventure” book tag but in this case, it’s “choose your own prompts from a list that the original creator has made or create your own”. Confused? I hope not! 🤣

Let’s get right to the details for this tag:

This tag was originally created by The Book Jotter. Here’s what Jo has to say about it:

The idea being that as the end of June approaches and we are then halfway through the year, let us share the books we have read in those first 6 months. In fact let’s share 6 books in 6 categories, or if time is of the essence then simply share just 6 books. Whatever combination works for you as long as it involves 6 books. Of course the same book can obviously feature in more than one category.

Check out the full list of categories on Jo’s page or create a category of your own choosing!

Six new to me authors (in 2025)

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, Full Speed to a Crash Landing by Beth Revis, The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton, Enchantra by Kaylie Smith, Getting It On With Gargoyles by Hazel Mack, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

Six authors I’m looking forward to reading more of…

The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Bat Eater by Kylie Lee Baker, A Master of Djinn by P. Djéli Clark, The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman

Six books I was disappointed with

Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, A Language of Dragons by S. F. Williamson, A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee, Sweet & Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley, Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim, Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang, Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen, Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

Six book covers I love (in 2025)

That’s it for the Six in Six book tag! This was so much fun and I loved that we could choose the prompts ourselves. Not tagging anyone but feel free to link back if you do it so I can check out the prompts you chose and your answers!

  3. I really like the flexibility of this tag because it can be adapted depending on what you’ve read each year, very cool! I may want to do this soon 🙂 I also want to read more from P. Djèli Clark. I had taken Scavenge the Stars off my tbr so the fact that you weren’t happy with it makes me glad I did that lol.

    • Yes, the flexibility of this tag is what makes it so fun and it’s like you can keep doing it every year with different questions as well! I saw you recently did it 😍 Scavenge the Stars was so disappointing so good move on taking it off your TBR! I don’t think you will regret not reading it… 👀

  4. I love this tag and have had a half finished post sitting in my drafts since the end of June. Seeing yours might have inspired me to actually finish it. I really like the categories that you’ve chosen.

  7. Oooh love the idea for this tag! I really need to get around to reading Atmosphere, and if you’re looking for more Clark, he’s written two novellas set in the same universe as A Master of Djinn and I really enjoyed them both 🙂

  11. Oh wow what a fun tag, I can’t believe how many different options there are to pick from prompt wise. Definitely going to have to try this one sometime.

    It looks like you’ve discovered some great authors and I hope you get to read more by the ones you’ve highlighted soon too. I can’t believe I still haven’t tried anything by Rachel Gillig or Taylor Jenkins Reid 🙈 I knew about most of your disappointment but not A Language Of Dragons, its a shame it didnt work for you. Daughter Of Smoke And Bone is so good 😍 I especially love the covers for Forgery Of Fate
    And Floating World. Have you seen the  have you seen the Fairyloot edition for the latter? Those gold foiled endpages keep calling to me 😂
