“Do I Have That Book?” Challenge/Tag!

Dini @ dinipandareads11 Comments

Hello, friends! I’m back with another book tag today and it’s one that I saw on Nicole @ Bookwyrm Knit‘s blog earlier this month. It looked like so much fun, and definitely seemed like a challenge, so I thought why not give it a go? The original tag created by BookTuber Tabby was actually a timed challenge but I’m not about putting that pressure on myself because I already know this is going to be tough and it’ll definitely take me longer than 8 minutes to complete (that’s like super human levels of speed for this challenge, haha). 🤣

On that note, let’s get to it! Also, you can find the full list of questions at the bottom of my post.

Do you have a book with deckled edges?

The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker

I’m not always the biggest fan of deckled edges these days (I used to be slightly obsessed) but I kinda like it with this book, especially my copy which is secondhand and marred by yellow stains, which adds to the vintage feel of the cover. I think it also suits the deckled edge style!

Do you have a book with 3 or more people on the cover?

The Malevolent Seven by Sebastian De Castell

I’m not always the biggest fan of deckled edges these days (I used to be slightly obsessed) but I kinda like it with this book, especially my copy which is secondhand and marred by yellow stains, which adds to the vintage feel of the cover. I think it also suits the deckled edge style!

Do you have a book based on another fictional story?

The Earl That Got Away by Diana Quincy

This is a Persuasion retelling and it’s fabulous! If you love plus-sized, diverse FMCs in historical fiction, all the pining, angst and intense chemistry, and of course, Persuasion retellings, I would definitely recommend it!

Do you have a book with a title 10 letters long?

Fan Service by Rosie Danan

I still haven’t read anything by Danan but of course I’m keeping up with her latest releases. I do have a problem, I fear… 🤭

Do you have a book with a title that starts and ends with the same letter?

Echoes of the Tide by Emma Hamm

Oof, this was such a tough one to find so I immediately squealed with delight when I came across this title! It’s the third book in Hamm’s sea monster romance and I’m hoping to read it this year (hopefully, lol).

Do you have a Mass Market Paperback book?

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

I bought this book as a physical copy first and got the MMP cos although she was chonky as heck, she was smol and I thought I would’ve liked that. Turns out, it’s not so great for reading, and perhaps even as equally if not even more intimidating to read cos of how thick she is! 🤭

Do you have a book written by an author using a pen name?

A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

AnnaLinden Weller writes under this pen name. I’ve heard a lot of interesting things about this book/series and it intimidates me a whole lot but I’m also very keen to give it a try!

Do you have a book with a character’s name in the title?

The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan Bannen

I think the reason I haven’t read this yet, other than pure procrastination, is the fact that I want to re-read Hart & Mercy beforehand cos I remember so few of the details. All I remember from book one is how massively I sobbed towards the end. It was great! 😌

Do you have a book with two maps in it?

Jade City by Fonda Lee

Not only does this book have the most incredible world-building, complex characters, and even more intricate relationships, we also get blessed with more than one map! I mean, if you haven’t already been convinced to read this, please do.

Do you have a book that was turned into a TV show?

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

I actually haven’t seen this show but I’ve heard it’s pretty faithful to the book and it’s well adapted? Not sure if I will get around to it but it is on my (extremely) long to-watch list! 🤣

Do you have a book written by someone who is originally famous for something else? (Celebrity/athlete/politician/TV personality)

Dinner for Vampires by Bethany Joy Lenz

This is the memoir of Bethany Joy Lenz who plays my favourite character in the epic TV series, One Tree Hill! It’s Haley 😍

Do you have a book with a clock on the cover?

The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell

I read this so long ago that I can’t remember when and I remember close to nothing about it now, but I did give it 5 stars so… That’s something! I’d love to re-read this one day.

Do you have a poetry book?

Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver

I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this poetry collection. I have not ready poetry in a very long time but it piqued my interest enough for me to get my hands on a copy!

Do you have a book with an award stamp on it?

The Promise by Damon Galgut

It has The 2021 Book Prize “award stamp” on it! That counts… Right? 🤭

Do you have a book written by an author with the same initials as you?

Friends, I really thought I would get through this being able to answer all the prompts but sadly, I could not find a book for this. I don’t know any authors with the initials DK or even ones with my full full names! 🤭

Do you have a book of short stories?

Blackout by Various Authors

I loved that this was a book of short stories that were all set in the same location, experienced the same situation, and all sort of intertwined at the end. It was cool and such a fun read!

Do you have a book that is between 500-510 pages long?

Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco

This Illumicrate edition that I have of this book is 506 pages long! It does have a different cover than this though but I couldn’t find a good quality one of it… 🤭

Do you have a book that was turned into a movie?

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

This even has two adaptations. The first in Swedish and the other in English, which was also modified to fit a more American context. I’m planning to watch the Swedish one!

Do you have a graphic novel?

Squire by Nadia Shammas, Sara Alfageeh

I love graphic novels so I had quite a few to choose from! This one is still on my TBR and I’ve heard great things about it. I need to prioritise reading more of my graphic novels, I think!

Do you have a book written by 2 or more authors?

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

I know I probably have other books written by 2 or more authors, but Christina Lauren will always be the first that come to mind because of how long I’ve been reading their books. 🤭 That said, this one is still on my TBR!

  8. I love your answers! This was a really fun tag to do, and I’m happy you decided to play along too. I know what you mean about the Sanderson MMP. I haven’t started that series, and I think part of it is due to the thickness of the paperback.
