The Holidays are right around the corner and I can’t wait to have a few days off from work to relax and get some much-needed reading done.
How are you spending your holidays?
We were tagged by the amazing Chelsie over at My Reading Escape to join in on the book tag fun. Thanks for including us 🙂
It’s your first Christmas at Hogwarts. What’s one book you’ve asked for this year?
I’ve asked for a few books that have been on my TBR for a while but the main one I really want and hope to receive is Normal People by Sally Rooney. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about her books and I want to start with this one.
You spot Hagrid hauling the Christmas tree through the grounds. What is the longest (or heaviest!) book you own?
I get asked this question a lot and we joke around at work about which books we would use as weapons if the occasion arose (yeah, we are kind of morbid). I always go for Stephen King. IT is over a thousand pages long and so worth the damage it does to your hands after holding it while reading.
It’s time for the famous Great Hall feast. What’s one book you can’t read without snacks?
I usually don’t like to have food/snacks around books because of crumbs or stickiness. But sometimes I make an exception for a cute contemporary book. It puts you in the right mindset for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate with a decent cookie or two.
Well done, you’ve brewed your first Polyjuice potion. What’s one book you’d change the cover of?
Yes, I know that they changed the cover for this one but it still drives me crazy that they first decided to go with that cover. It made me feel as if they were trying to sabotage her.
You receive a brand new Firebolt for Christmas. What’s one book you read super quickly?
Anything by V(E)ictoria Schwab is a super quick read for me. Her books draw you in and you sit and read her entire book in one sitting.
You join Harry for his first proper Christmas. What’s one book you’d love to receive this year?
I know that I’m so late to the party with this book but I’ve been wanting to read this for a while now and I need to own it for my book collection.
You get hit by one of Fred and George’s flying snowballs. What’s a book you wanted to throw across the room?
I wanted to throw this book across the room because it was one of my highly anticipated reads but it was just awful.
You’ve just visited Hogsmeade for the first time. What’s one popular book you haven’t read yet?
I own this book but just haven’t read it yet.
Congratulations, you’ve been invited to the Yule Ball. What book about Christmas do you love?
This book is just the cutest and puts me in a better mood.
You find Ron’s deluminator. What’s one book that’s helped you through some dark times?
This is not your typical pick me up book but it took my mind off of things that were going on around me.
