Book Tag; 90’s Kid Book Tag

I came across a book tag called 90's Kid Book Tag over at The Book Dutchesses and I decided to play along.

POKEMON:
A GBA game and trading card game where you battled pocket monsters and strived to catch them all. Back in the day, there were only 150 Pokemon.
The author you need every book from.

James Holland

AIM
AOL Instant Messaging – how 90s kids communicated with their friends after school before everyone had a cell phone.
A book that connected you with your best friend.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

FURBY
Creepy needy robots you could teach to talk and were probably demon possessed. Somehow these made a comeback?
A book that seemed like a good idea but was actually a monster.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

N’SYNC
90s quintessential boy band. You may have heard of Justin Timberlake?
A book you hated to say Bye, Bye, Bye to.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

SLIMED!
Getting green slime thrown on you, courtesy of the show Figure it Out. Also apparently still a thing at the Kid’s Choice Awards?
A book everyone loved but you hated.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

OREGON TRAIL
A 90s computer game you could usually play at school, which was great. It taught us people used to die a lot of gruesome, messy deaths.
A book that made you wish you died of dysentery.

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot

MIXTAPE/CD
Back before everyone had music on their phones (remember, we didn’t have cell phones!) folks would rip their CDs and make mixes for each other.
3 books you recommend to anyone, anywhere, no matter what.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
The Shining by Stephen King

DIAL-UP INTERNET
You know how it’s annoying when you aren’t on LTE? IMAGING WAITING 10 MINUTES FOR INTERNET TO START AND ANOTHER 20 MINUTES FOR GOOGLE TO LOAD!
A book that took FOR FREAKING EVER to read.

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot

KENAN THOMPSON
He’s that guy who’s been on SNL forever. Also Mighty Ducks. Good Burger. Keenan and Kel. All That. Everything.
That book that you see referenced everywhere and is in everything, but that’s okay because it’s awesome.

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

THUMBS UP, SEVEN UP
A game where most the class closed their eyes and seven people tapped someone’s thumb and you had to guess who did it without peeking.
Book where you peeked just REAL quick at the ending because you don’t like guessing games.

I have honestly no idea.

DUNKAROOS
These were basically just Teddy Grahams dipped in frosting, which is still a wonderful snack idea.
Your ideal bookish snack.

I love chocolate or muffins.

SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK
Collections of short stories that would scare any sensible kid! Plus, there were illustrations…
A book that kept you up all night.

The Secrets of the Lazarus Club by Tony Pollard

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY
Basically, the coolest thing you got to do in science class was watch Bill Nye. He has a Netflix show again!
A book that taught you something new.

Bannockburn 1314 by Lynette Nusbacher

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.

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
