Another Sunday, another book tag.
After taking a little break from tags last week, I’m back! 2017 is almost over so that means the holiday season is finally upon us! I saw this fun tag from Sarah @btweenthepages and I new I had to do it!
Rules
- Thank the person who tagged you and tag the original creator (Sarah @btweenthepages.com)
- Answer the questions and have fun 🙂
- Feel free to use the graphics!
The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid
I was so enraptured while reading this! I loved the politics and scheming, the pure brutality the Diabolics displayed, and the ruthlessness of several characters.
A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard
So much adorableness was jam-packed into this book that I fell in love. Steffi and Rhys were both such strong characters that it was really easy to become invested.
Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds
I actually read this in one day recently, so it’s definitely doable. This was my first experience with a novel written in verse (which is why it’s such a quick read), but I fell like it may have set the bar too high, because this book was perfection.
Everless by Sara Holland
I love the colors and the contrast between the orange and black. I love the intricate and ornate hourglass. I love the palace and the stairway acts like the sand inside. It’s just all very cool together.
Renegades by Marissa Meyer
The only reason this is here is because the prologue made me really nervous. In the prologue Nova is 7, and I personally don’t read books with young protagonists, so I was weary. I didn’t know what age she would be after the time jump, and I didn’t re-read the synopsis, so I didn’t really remember what to expect. Happy to say, I ended up LOVING this.
Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner
It’s ironic in a story dealing with the grief and the loss of loved ones, the characters would have such a presence. I felt the history and connection through the Goodbye Days. I felt like I knew Mars, Eli, and Blake through Carver.
Mirror Me by Tara St. Pierre
This is a genre-blend of a book that incorporates psychological mystery, paranormal, portal fantasy, and romance into this addicting book.
I’m going to tag anyone whose in the holiday spirit and also wants to talk about books. So basically anyone who reads this and wants to.
Yes, dont you love the everless cover, it is so beautiful! I’m reading it right now and its very interesting!

I don’t think I’ve read a novel written in verse before, unless Beowulf counts…. But reading a modern one sounds really interesting.
This is a great list, BTW. I could just about TBR every single one of these titles!

Long Way Down really made me want to look for other book in verse to read.
