The Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag (2026)

biblionerdreflections2 Comments

Hello, everyone! I saw Celeste @ A Literary Escape do this tag recently, and it reminded me that I still hadn’t done it. So, I’m a bit late to the party for the Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag again this year because I forgot all about it. Oh well. lol. In case you’re interested, I also completed this tag back in 2023 & 2025. The original tag was created by Roisin @Roisin’s Reading over on BookTube.

Mid-Year Freakout Tag (2025)

biblionerdreflections9 Comments

I’ve done this mid-year freakout tag every year that I’ve been blogging, and I always enjoy it. I’m still not quite sure where it originated, but I’ve seen it all over on a bunch of blogs. If you know where it came from, feel free to tag/link them in the comments. I’ve already finished 86 books this year. So, I’ve got plenty of great options to choose from for this tag. Let’s get started. 🙂

Pride Flag Book Tag (2025)

biblionerdreflections4 Comments

It is already the last week of Pride month. So, I thought it was the perfect time to do the Pride Flag Book Tag again. I seem to only do this tag during odd years for whatever reason. Most likely, it takes me two years to have new queer books that correspond with each prompt as some of them are quite specific (e.g., religion, personal catharsis). This tag was created by Common Spence on Youtube. You can find my first attempt at this tag here and my second here. For the tag, I’ll be picking books that I think embody the meanings of each of the colors in the Pride flag. You can find out more about a book by clicking on its cover, which will take you to the book’s Goodreads page.

New Year’s Book Tag (2025)

biblionerdreflections10 Comments

Hello, everyone! Today I’m doing the New Year’s Book Tag! This tag was originally created by booktuber Heather @Bookables.

How many books are you planning to read in 2025?

I’ve decided to keep my 2025 Goodreads goal the same as the last few years at 100 books. I’ll likely end up reading more than this again, but we’ll see how the year goes.

Name 5 books you didn’t get to this year but want to make a priority in 2025.

There were so many great releases in 2024, and I wasn’t able to get to so many of them. Here are five that I plan to prioritize this year. However, my track record with this question is pretty bad. I didn’t read any of the five books I chose last year for this answer. lol.

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo, The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso, The Gods Below by Andrea Stewart, The Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne, Yield Under Great Persuasion by Alexandra Rowland

What genre do you want to read more of?

I can’t think of a specific genre I’d like to read more of this year. I was pretty happy with my reading variety last year. It was stuffed with fantasy, as usual, but I also read a decent range of other stuff, too. So, I guess pretty much anything other than fantasy would be the category I’d need to increase.

Name 3 non-book-related goals for 2025

  • Finish settling into my new house. I moved in December. My wife and I are slowly getting everything unpacked. There are still some boxes left in our garage that we need to go through. I also have a lot of stuff that needs to be hung on the walls.
  • Create my LEGO room in the basement. I plan to buy and build shelves in the basement for all of my LEGO sets. I’d love to have that finished by the end of the year, along with fixing/rebuilding the sets that fell apart during the move.
  • Visit a new state. Now that I live in a different part of the country, I’m surrounded by states I’ve never visited. I’d love to take a trip and see some new sights.

What’s a book you’ve had forever that you still need to read?

I’ve wanted to read Doctor Who: At Childhood’s End for years. My physical copy has languished on my shelf for far too long. It has been quite some time since I’ve read a Doctor Who novel. Hopefully, I’ll pick this one up soon.

One word that you’re hoping 2025 will be

I hope 2025 is STABLE. My 2024 was a bit all over the place. I’d like something a bit quieter. The incoming U.S. administration also has me on edge because the people involved seem to thrive on chaos and hate. So, I just hope my life and the world around me stays somewhat stable this year.

I won’t be tagging anyone in this one, but if you would like to participate, feel free to do so. Be sure to link your New Year’s Book Tag post down below if you do because I’d love to read them. 🙂
