Bookish Book Lover Tag

Recently, Jenelle did the Bookish Book Lover Tag (created by this person) on her blog and tagged anyone who wanted to do it. I was so inclined, so enjoy!


Rules:
Use the Banner
Answer the Questions
Use Lots of Book Covers
Tag Your Bookish Friends
 
Questions:
1) What Book(s) Are You Currently Reading?
 

 
My family and I have also been listening to Little Women in the car as we travel.  
 
2) What’s The Last Book You Finished?
 
 
This is one of the most unique books that I have ever read! It is also illustrated by the author. I'm at a loss at how to describe the plot, so you'll have to read it yourself to find out.
 
3) Favorite Book(s) You Read This Year?
 

 
 
4) What Genre Have You Read Most This Year?
Surprisingly, middle grade is my most read genre this year with nine books! Nonfiction comes in second with six books.
 
5) What Genre Have You Read Least This Year?
The classics, if they count as a genre. I've only read three classics so far this year. And only four fantasy!
 
6) What Genre Do You Want To Read More Of?
According to Goodreads, my nonfiction shelf holds the most "to-read" books. Though I do want to read a lot more nonfiction books, I would also love to read more swashbuckling adventure books like Treasure Island or The Three Musketeers.
 
7) How Many Books Have You Read This Year, And What’s Your Goal?
I've read thirty books so far this year, and my goal is sixty.
 
8) What’s The Last Book You Bought?
Into the Vast by DJ Edwardson and Yorien's Hand by Jenelle Schmidt.
 
9) What Book Are You Saving Up To Buy Next?
My school textbooks, haha.
 
10) How Many Books Did You Check Out Last Library Visit?
Only one! My dad and I drove thirty minutes away just so I could pick up Heartless by Anne Elisabeth Stengl.
 
11) What’s A Book You Can’t Wait To Read?
After reading The Silmarillion, I can't wait to re-read The Lord of the Rings! I'm reading The Hobbit right now and Bilbo's finding of the ring was much more significant after knowing the One Ring's history from The Silmarillion.
 
12) What’s A Series You’d Recommend to Everyone?
The Adventures of Tintin by Herge.
 
 
13) Who’s An Author You’re Hoping Writes More?
Jeanne Birdsall. She is working on the fifth and final book in The Penderwicks series right now. Her writing style and characters are charming and lovable and it would be a joy if she wrote more books after she finishes The Penderwicks.
 
14) A Few Books Your Heart Adores?
 

 

 
15) What Series’s Coming Conclusion Makes You Sad?
 
 
16) What Books Are On Your Wish-List?
It might be easier to answer what books aren't on my wish-list, hee hee. Several that come to mind, though, are Water Princess, Fire Prince by Kendra E. Ardnek, Brothers-In-Arms by Jack Lewis Baillot, and The Bookshop Book by Jen Campbell.
 
As usual, anyone can do this tag. I would love to see Bethany and Becca do it, though!
Here are the questions so you can easily copy and paste if you decide to do the tag:

  1. Ooh, yay! You did the tag! Fun to see what you're reading. I forgot the Princess Bride (probably because I still think of it as a movie first, book second, even though I know that's backwards!)

    1. It was a super fun tag to do! I love book-related tags.
      That's not too backwards if you saw the movie first and then read the book. I always think of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as a movie first and a book second because I saw the movie first (and like it better than the book).

    2. Definitely saw the movie first. :)

      Hitchhiker's Guide... I need to go rewatch the movie, especially now that I "know" Martin Freeman a bit better... love the book!

      Delete
    3. Martin Freeman is great! I was SO surprised to see him in Civil War! Him and Benedict Cumberbatch just can't get away from each other... They were both in Sherlock, both in The Hobbit, and now they are both in Marvel films!

  2. I've never heard of Heap House, I'm intrigued! What genre and age group is it geared towards?

    1. I believe it's marketed towards the 12-14 age group, but it's interesting enough for an adult to read (I'm 19 and enjoyed it). The only genre I can think of to place it in to is "alternate history," if that's a genre.
