Book Tag; The Christmas Book Blogger Tag

Between My Lines created this fun book tag called The Christmas Book Blogger Tag, and as it's Christmas Eve today, I couldn't resist playing along. By the way, happy holidays to my readers out there.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SCENE IN A BOOK?
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone during Christmas, when Harry celebrates Christmas at Hogwarts with Ron.


DO YOU HAVE ANY CHRISTMAS BOOK TRADITIONS?
Sadly I haven't, so if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know.

DO YOU PREFER TO GET PRESENTS OF BOOK VOUCHERS OR BOOKS?
I don't mind either.

DO YOU GIVE BOOKS AS PRESENTS?
Yes and two people are getting from me this year. I'm not saying who, in case they read this.

WHAT BOOKISH ITEM IS ON YOUR CHRISTMAS WISHLIST?
I don't have any on my wishlist, apart from perhaps gift card at a bookshop?

WHAT 3 BOOKS WOULD YOU LOVE SANTA TO HAVE IN HIS SACK FOR YOU?
Homebody by Rupi Kaur
Seven Kinds of People You Find in Bookshops by Shaun Bythell
Magic Lessons by Alice Hofman

FAKE CHRISTMAS TREE OR REAL CHRISTMAS TREE?
Real for sure, as there's something about the feel and the smell of real ones.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THING(S) ABOUT CHRISTMAS?
Relaxing, spending time with family and eating good food.

WHAT CHRISTMAS BOOK WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
The Christmas Truce: The Place Where Peace Was Found by Hilary Robinson & Martin Impey

WHAT DISH ON YOUR CHRISTMAS MENU ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO?
Can I just answer anything that my grandmother makes? Grandmothers make good food after all and there's no wonder why the YouTube account Pasta Grannies has become so popular.

WHEN DO YOU OPEN YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS?
Today actually, as Christmas Eve is "the big day" in Norway.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG?
One of my favourite Christmas songs are Christmas Eve (Sarajevo) by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

ARE YOU DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS?
Both yes and no. It's pretty with snow, but in my area it turns to slush within a few days, so it's no point. It become even more "fun" when the slush freezes and it's almost a bit like Bambi on ice while walking outside.

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.

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. 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/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
