The Afternoon Tea Book Tag

Hello, friends. It’s a slothful Saturday afternoon here! I browsed my bookmarked book tags for an easy tag to do and came across the Afternoon Tea Book Tag I saved over a year ago after seeing it on Elle @ Unwrapping Words.

This tag was originally created by The Incessant Bookworm.

The Weather Book Tag

Hello, friends! I’m kicking off the week with a book tag this Monday! I first saw The Weather Book Tag on Kyla’s blog and it looked like the easy kind of tag that I love doing, so I immediately bookmarked it!

I wasn’t sure who made the tag but I followed the trail of posts from Kyla’s page to Bookstooge.

The Romance Reader Book Tag

As I’m in a romance mood, it seems fitting that I finally get around to doing The Romance Reader Book Tag that I’ve been keen to do ever since I saw it on Kerri’s blog more than a year ago (omg, what is time 😂)!

After a bit of sleuthing, I’ve found that this tag was originally created by Romance Queen of Booktube and The Bookish Knitter.

And on that note, let’s get cracking on these questions!

2023 Reading Firsts Book Tag

Hi, friends! Today I’m doing The Firsts of 2023 Book Tag that I first saw on Celeste @A Literary Escape‘s blog last week. I’ve been on the hunt for a simple and easy tag to do ever since I started blogging again so when I saw this one I immediately jumped on it.

This book tag was originally created by Tanya @girlxoxo.

Without further ado, let’s get to it…

The 2023 Mid-Year Check-In Tag

Hello, friends! It’s a little past the mid-year mark but I thought why not jump aboard the mid-year check-in train anyway? I’ve been seeing lots of these posts recently and well, compared to previous years, mine is probably not going to be very exciting but I still love this tag so here I am doing it anyway! 😂

As I’ve mentioned a time or three since I started blogging again last week, I’m still trying to find my reading groove after so much disruption this year, especially this past month. Hopefully, coming back to the community and surrounding myself with fellow book lovers will motivate me again. Plus, I’ve missed you all a lot! 💜 On that note, let’s get to The Mid-Year Check-In!

Birthstone Book Covers: May 2023 Edition!

Hello friends, I’m back today with another month’s edition for The Birthstone Book Covers series created by one of my favourites, Leslie. 💜 She began this at the start of 2022 and it was born out of her curiosity about birthstone colours. It’s fun to show different book covers/titles corresponding to that month’s birthstone. 🙂

the folklore book tag

Happy Saturday, friends! I was wondering what to post today because as usual I’m preparing things at the last minute and when I decided to do an ‘easy’ tag, I remembered that I still haven’t done The Folklore Book Tag. Folklore is top-tier TS for me and one of my all-time favourite albums. I wasn’t tagged to do this but I saw it on Elli’s blog *ages* ago and since I’ve seen mentions of TS on the bird app’s feed quite a bit today I thought why not?

So I’m turning up the track and diving straight into this!

This tag and the awesome graphics you see are originally created by Ilsa @ Whisper of Ink.

The “I’ll Get Around to It Later” Book Tag

Happy Saturday, friends! After an emotionally draining day, I was looking for an easy tag to do and after browsing through my saved tags, I decided to go for this one. Who here hasn’t ever said, “I’ll Get Around to It Later”? I know that I say that quite a lot (pretty much almost every time I buy a book, lol)! I stumbled across this one on Emma’s blog a very long time ago and I’m excited to dive in.

This post was originally created by Liesl @Quote, Unquote

The Rules:

  1. Link back to the original post at Quote, Unquote so the creator can read your answers.
  2. Link back to the post of the person who tagged you and thank them.
  3. You may use the included graphic anywhere in your post, but you don’t have to. (I didn’t end up doing this)
  4. Fill in all seven categories.
  5. You can either leave this tag open so anyone can do it or tag up to seven people.

1. A Classic book that you have been meaning to read forever but haven’t yet

The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas

I think I’ve said I’ll read this for several years now. It’s one that I’m highly interested in and have heard amazing things about as well, so I’m looking forward to reading it but the chonkiness is intimidating AF!

2. A book on your shelf that you haven’t read yet

The Library of the Unwritten
by A.J. Hackwith

I can definitely choose more than one… 😂 But I went with this because it’s not too old, not too new. I’ve also heard great things about it and actually hope to read it this year!

3. A book that you got recently that you haven’t read

Spells for Lost Things
by Jenna Evans Welch

I saw great things for this book so when I saw it on sale a couple of weeks ago, I immediately added it to my stack. It looks and sounds great! 😍

4. A book that you’ve had forever but haven’t read

Black Leopard, Red Wolf
by Marlon James

This can definitely be… many books from my TBR! I went for this because… It’s been a hot moment since I’ve had it on my shelf and I was so excited to get my hands on a copy too. Welp!

5. A book a friend recommended that you haven’t read

Lessons in Chemistry
by Bonnie Garmus

I’m picking this from my 12 Book Challenge list. I’ve made poor progress with this challenge but I’m really looking forward to reading this book!

6. A book you’re procrastinating on

The Heart Principle
by Helen Hoang

This can literally be everything on my TBR? I’m going for this cos I actually have this on my TBR cart next to my bed to indicate that I want to pick it up ASAP. I hope it finally happens because this has been one of my most anticipated reads for a long time!

7. The next book on your TBR

The Ashes and the Star Cursed King
by Carissa Broadbent

I’m a mood reader and I’m not entirely sure what I’ll read next until I start reading something but I kinda wanna get started on this!

I’m tagging…

That’s it for this tag! What books have you said “I’ll get to it later” to? Are any of these also still on your TBRs?

Blog signature that reads: Let's Chat! xoxo, Dini

The Spring Cleaning Book Tag – 2023

Happy Saturday, friends! It’s finally the weekend and I’m excited to do the Spring Cleaning Book Tag today. I totally forgot this tag existed until I saw Elnade @Confessions of a Serial Reader post it earlier this week and then I remembered I’d done it before but of course, it’s been a while since. Maybe this is something I’ll end up doing yearly? Who knows! On that note, let’s just get to the questions!

The creator of the Spring Cleaning Book Tag is Amanda @ Between the Shelves.
