Book Tag; What’s On My Bookshelf Tag

I came across the What's On My Bookshelf Tag over at Book Coffee Happy and I decided to play along as it looked like a fun tag to do.

A Library Book
At the moment, there's no library books on my shelves.

A Book I Got As A Gift
Most people don't dare gifting me books as I've got a vast collection, but a friend of mine gave me Braised Pork by An Yu for Christmas a few years back

A Childhood Book
I grew up with a lot of Roald Dahl books, Fantastic Mr. Fox included.

A Magical Book
Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend is magical in more ways than one.

A Romantic Book
The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan

A Steamy Book
Come, My Pet by Keira Michelle Telford

An Old Book
Dracula by Bram Stoker

A Book That Makes Me Happy/Laugh
The Little Bookshop of Love Stories by Jaimie Admans

A Book That Made Me Emotional
The Story So Far by Jane Eklund

A Book With An Ending I Dislike
Honestly not sure what to answer on this one.

A Book I Wish Had Illustrations
Maybe some of the fantasy novels I've read? Not sure really.

A Book Or Genre I Love To Read When It's Raining
I enjoy reading anything when it's raining, but A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness has a bit of a lot, whether it's fantasy, romance, paranormal, and at an urban setting, it ticks off several boxes.

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...
