Book Tag Saturday; Coffee Book Tag


I found the Coffee Book Tag over at Howling Library. As I have a weak spot for both coffee and book tags, I couldn't resist.

Time to get to the questions.
1. BLACK COFFEE// NAME A SERIES THAT’S TOUGH TO GET INTO BUT HAS HARDCORE FANS.
I found this question hard to answer, but you need to keep your tongue in check from time to time while reading the MaddAddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood.

2. PEPPERMINT MOCHA// NAME A BOOK THAT GETS MORE POPULAR DURING THE WINTER OR A FESTIVE TIME OF YEAR
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brönte - I read it as part of the syllabus of a course at university and I still do NOT like Cathy and Heathcliff.

3. HOT CHOCOLATE// WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHILDREN’S BOOK?
One of my favourite children's books are Ronja the Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren, but it's just one of many favourites.

4. DOUBLE SHOT OF ESPRESSO// NAME A BOOK THAT KEPT YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT FROM START TO FINISH
Redemption Road by John Hart

5. STARBUCKS // NAME A BOOK YOU SEE EVERYWHERE
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

6. THAT HIPSTER COFFEE SHOP // GIVE A BOOK BY AN INDIE AUTHOR A SHOUT-OUT
I really enjoyed reading Romanov by Samaire Provost.

7. OOPS! I ACCIDENTALLY GOT DECAF // NAME A BOOK YOU WERE EXPECTING MORE OF
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by R. L. Stevenson - sorry, but I expected it to be more creepy/scary than what it was.

8. THE PERFECT BLEND// NAME A BOOK OR SERIES THAT WAS BOTH BITTER AND SWEET, BUT ULTIMATELY SATISFYING
A Pair of Siler Wings by James Holland.

9. GREEN TEA // NAME A BOOK OR SERIES THAT IS QUIETLY BEAUTIFUL
A Norwegian novel with the title Svartstilla by Susanne Skogstad.

10. CHAI TEA // NAME A BOOK OR SERIES THAT MAKES YOU DREAM OF FAR OFF PLACES
Another Norwegian novel, Biter av lykke by Anne Ch. Østby

11. EARL GREY // NAME YOUR FAVORITE CLASSIC
That one's easy - Bram Stoker's Dracula.

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.

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...

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.

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.
