Book Tag Saturday; Easter Book Tag

I came across the Easter Book Tag over at The Book Dutchesses. It was originally made by Rosie the Reader and I decided to play along as it is Easter after all.

Rabbits – A book you wish you could multiply.
There's plenty of books I wish I could multiply, but a book I recently read was Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta.


Egg – A book that surprised you.
I knew I was going to enjoy Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend, but I was surprised just how much I liked it.


Hunt – A book that was hard for you to get your hands on.
I can't remember, as I usually find books easily.

Lambs – A children’s book that you still enjoy.
How can I NOT mention The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis?


Spring – A book with a cover that makes you think of Spring.
The Saffron Trail by Rosanna Ley.


Rising From the Dead – A book from a deceased author.
There's plenty to choose from, but here's Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda.


Baskets – A book that is in your Amazon cart or wishlist right now.
No, I still haven't purchased Fawkes by Nadine Brandes yet, so it is on my wishlist.


Candy – A book that is sweet.
I've read a lot of sweet books and one of them is Where The Light Gets In by Lucy Dillon.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w

I read the horror novel The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana earlier this year and today I'll post my review of the book. Description from Goodreads From the author of international horror sensation Gone to See the River Man comes a new tale of terror that will drag you to the darkest corners of the soul. Some girls are fearful, others are brave. One girl’s a princess, the next one, a slave. But all girls are equal, when they’re down in this cave, until just one is left standing—The Prettiest Girl in the Grave. It’s only supposed to be a game.
