Hello Writer Bees!
Since I recently celebrated my 300th post and 400 followers, I figured I do something lighthearted this week. And I haven’t done a tag in quite a while. So, this is my life in books.
Shoutout to TinyNavajo for doing this tag. Be sure to check out their awesome book blog!
Find A Book For Each Of Your Initials
V – Vengeance is Mine! by Mickey Spillane
A – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
P – The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain (featuring my favorite femme fatale.)
Count Your Age Along Your Bookshelf
I’m 27 years old and the 27th book on my shelf is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. It’s on my TBR list, I heard the play was amazing.
Pick A Book Set In Your City/Country
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I’m from New York. I also have Lillian Boxfish takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney and Fin & Lady by Cathleen Schine. A proud New Yorker, if you couldn’t tell. And I can’t resist a good NYC story.
Pick A Book That Represents A Destination You’d Love To Travel To
The Jewel Box by Anna Davis. I’ve always wanted to travel to London, or the U.K. in general. I’d love to visit Doyle and Christie’s old stomping grounds.
Plus, I have a few Hemingway books, like the Sun Also Rises and the short stories collection. It’s a stretch, but I’d like to take my boyfriend to Key West someday, to visit Ernest Hemingway’s home and to get him a Cuban coffee.
Pick A Book That Has Your Favorite Color On It
Surprisingly, the only lavender on my shelf is the title text color for The Mirror of Merlin by T.A. Barron. Although, I do love the blush pink on Alex & Eliza by Melissa De La Cruz.
Which Book Do You Have The Fondest Memories Of?
When I was a kid, I hated reading. Ironic, really, since I later became a writer. One day, the Scholastic book fair came to my school. While searching through the books, I found Bone (Book One): Out from Boneville. Then and there, I fell in love with graphic novels and fantasy/adventure stories.
(P.s. – Am I the only one who remembers Scholastic book fairs? Or am I just old?)
Which Book Did You Have The Most Difficulty Reading?
The Museum of Extraordinary Things. I liked the premise, but pace wise, it was a little on the slow side. I’ll probably give it another shot, though.
Which Book On Your TBR Pile Will Give You The Most Achievement When You Finish It?
This extra-thick collection of Hercule Poirot stories, written by Agatha Christie. It has over 50 short stories. Eventually, I’ll read through the entire tome of mystery.
Tag! You’re It!
Well, this was fun. If you guys decide to do this tag, let me know. I’d love to hear what’s on your bookshelves. And please click the links, it really helps support this blog.
Stay safe and keep writing, writer bees!
Love, Lady Jabberwocky

Those are some good picks! I wish I could do this, but I’m honestly writing more and reading less lately… probably not a good thing.

Writing more is never a bad thing! And actually, some of these books I haven’t read yet, they’re just on my shelf. So, you could do this tag too, if you wanted. 🙂

I did this tag too (a while back, though): https://aspasiasbissas.com/2019/02/28/my-life-in-books-tag/
Btw, the Scholastic Book Fair was the best 🙂
