Book Tag; The Official Spooky Season Book Tag

I found the book tag called The Official Spooky Season Book Tag over at The Artsy Reader, and I honestly couldn't resist doing this one.

1: You hear a strange noise in the night – the monsters got inside! Which book character would you choose to protect you from harm?
Clive from The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar by Seana Kelly

2: You go on vacation and your hotel is located right next to a cemetery. Which book character do you really hope is not hiding in the shadows?
The Dover Demon from, you guessed it, The Dover Demon by Hunter Shea

3: It’s a particularly cold night and you decide to stay inside. Which three book characters would you like to spend a trivia quiz and board game night with?
Keira, Zoe, and Mason from The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates

4: Time for a big adventure! The scary book you pick transports you into its world. Where do you end up?
I would end up in the Scottish Highlands if I pick up Hearthstone Cottage by Frazer Lee

5: No Halloween without Trick or Treat-ing! Which book character do you think has the sweetest tooth?
Perhaps Annie from Cackle by Rachel Harrison

6: The fairies are angry and want a sacrifice from your bookshelf. Which scary book has to go and why?
Bluebeard's Castle by Anna Biller as it was so poorly excecuted.

7: You decide you feel more autumnal rather than halloween-y today. Which book setting would you choose for a more cosy and less scary vibe?
Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

8: The witch is cooking up a spell in her cauldron and you have to add one magic ingredient. Which item from a book are you adding to the mixture?
I'm honestly not sure.

9: You get to decide which bookish place to visit for Halloween. Which book setting is the scariest – and gets crossed off the list?
It may not be too scary, but I wouldn't mind visiting Whitby (UK), which is obviously the location for The Whitby Witches by Robin Jarvis

10: The big day is finally here: it’s Halloween! Which book character do you dress up as, and what would be part of your outfit?
I have honestly no idea.

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
