Six in Six Book Tag

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!
