Book Tag; The End of Summer Book Tag

I came across The End of Summer Book Tag over at Howling Libraries and I decided to play along as it looked like a fun tag to do.

1. What was your favorite book this summer?
I'd say Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica, as it's so messed up.

2. What was your least favorite book this summer?
It's probably Ghost Camera by Darcy Coates. It's not that it's really bad or anything, it was just not a favourite.

3. What book do you wish you read this summer?
One book worth mentioning here is probably The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

4. What was your favorite classic you read this summer?
The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie was my favourite. One can't go wrong with some classic murder mysteries.

5. Did you stray into a different genre and pick up a new and exciting book?
I'm one of those who has an eclectic reading taste, even if my mainly blog about horror and paranormal, but I did enjoy The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki.

6. What was your favorite movie adaptation this summer?
I haven't watched any, so I'm clueless on how to answer this one properly.

7. What was your favorite new book release?
The only new release I've read this summer is a book in Norwegian called "Jeg savner å føle at noe ikke skal ta slutt" av Ingrid Lensol.

Announcing the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. 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 ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/m...

Image
It's Tuesday again and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of  That Artsy Reader Girl . The theme of the week was reasons why I love X and I decided writing about why I love being a book blogger. 1) It gives me an outlet for my book passion 2) It gives me an excuse to read (not that I need an excuse of course) 3) The perk of recieving press copies from authors and publishers 4) The nice comments from authors when they've seen I've written a nice review of one of their books 5) Being part of the book blogger/bookish community, even if it has some flaws 6) Having a platform where I can raise awareness about diversity from time to time (and other issues related to books/literature) 7) Connecting with other book lovers 8) Discovering all the amazing books that's out there 9) Dabbling with Bookstagram 10) Getting inspiration, both in terms of books to read, but also book merch to buy, topics to talk about, etc.
