Mid-Year Freakout Tag (2025)

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)

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.

My Favorite Backlist Reads of 2024

Hello, everyone! Today I have my first year-end list of top books, my favorite backlist reads of 2024. I managed to narrow the list down to 10 books this year, mostly because I read quite a bit less this year. I read all of these in 2024, but they were published prior to the beginning of the year. I’ll have a post with all of my favorite new 2024 releases sometime in the next couple of days. So, be on the lookout! All of the covers link to Goodreads in case anything catches your eye…

12 Days of Christmas Book Tag (Christmas 2024)

Merry Christmas! I couldn’t let the holiday pass by without doing one of my favorite Christmas tags. The 12 Days of Christmas Book Tag was created by Lizzie Loves Books. I always have so much fun with this one, and this year was no different. I’ve read so many great books this year, and I enjoyed trying to decide what books fit each prompt best. If any of these catch your eye, each of the covers links to the book’s Goodreads page.

First Lines Fridays (90) – April 12, 2024

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!
