Book Tag Saturday; The Hopeful Book Tag

Over at Heather's Reading Hideaway I came across The Hopeful Book Tag and I decided to play along as it looked like a fun book tag to do.

Time to get started on the questions.

1. Book world you want to escape to.
As I am a bit of a Potterhead, it's probably obvious that I'm going to say Hogwarts, isn't it?

2. Romance that left you melting inside.
Karou and Akiva from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor

3. Friendship we should all inspire to have.
I'm going to mention Daughter of Smoke and Bone again, as I genuinly love the friendship between Karou, Akiva, Zuzanna and Mik.

4. Intermission: Take a break to show a cute photo of your pet or of a cute animal photo you have found online.

The dog is technically my father's dog, but I often dogsit him, so he's a bit "mine" as well, and the cat is entirely mine.



5. A character in a leadership role that inspires you.
Etienne Lantier from Germinal by Émile Zola inspires me a bit as he stood up for what is right.

6. Recommend 3 books that fill you with hope.

I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai
The Best Party of Our Lives: Stories of Gay Weddings and True Love to Inspire Us All  by Sarah Galvin
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg


7. Tag some people!
I'm going to do it very easy; those who want to participate, feel free to do it.

    Aww, I love the dog. I’d escape to Hogwarts, too. It seems a lot more fun than the real world.

      The dog is a bit of a goofball at times, that's for sure. And yeah, Hogwarts for the win. :-)

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

Review; The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana

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. When Bella, Celeste, and Rose meet with new friends at a graveyard in the woods, they soon realize they’re unprepared for what’s planned. At twenty-four, Aubrey is older than the high schoolers, and she knows of a secret game that’s been played by local girls for decades. It starts with personal questions, but quickly moves on to a test of courage as Aubrey guides them into an underground crypt. But even Aubrey doesn’t know w
