The Coffee Book Tag

I saw this tag here at Beachy Reads, and it is originally from BangadyBangz on booktube. As soon as I saw this tag I knew I had to do it because I love coffee and it goes perfectly with books! This is a fun tag and I'm really excited to do it. As always I tag anyone who wants to do it. I never tag individually anymore (I think I tried that once? Not sure.) because I don't want anyone to feel obligated. If it looks like a fun tag to you and you want to do it, then I tag you!

1. Black- Name a series that is tough to get into but has hardcore fans.

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. I read the first one and I thought it was okay, but it was really hard to get into at first. I'm still not sure if I will continue. This series definitely has some hardcore fans though!

2. Peppermint Mocha- Name a book that gets more popular during the winter or festive time of year.

I always see everyone reading the Harry Potter series during the winter time. Other than that I would have to say the His Dark Materials series. I haven't read that series before, but it seems to be very popular.

3. Hot Chocolate- What is you favorite children's book?

I have a lot of books from my childhood that I really love. There are so many that I credit my love of reading to. This is one that I think a lot of people have never heard of though. I love Time For Andrew!

4. Double Shot of Espresso- Name a book that kept you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

I really enjoyed this one from the author of the "Hush, Hush" series. It's a bit different from that series, but it is a great YA thriller. Very intense!

5. Starbucks- Name a book you see everywhere.

Right now I keep seeing Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon everywhere. It's a fantastic book and I recommend it to everyone, but I'm tired of hearing about it now. :P

6. The Hipster Coffee Shop- Give a book by an indie author a shout out.

Well I don't know if I really read any indie authors. I don't really pay any attention to that. Is this by an indie author? Not sure.

7. Oops! I Accidentally Got Decaf- Name a book you were expecting more from.

The second and third in the Maze Runner series. I'm not saying that they were bad, I just expected a lot more after reading the first one. I think the series just went downhill. 5 stars for the first book, 4 stars for the second. and 3 stars for the third. It seems a lot of YA series go that way unfortunately.

8. The Perfect Blend- Name a book or series that was both bitter and sweet but ultimately satisfying.

The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series. The last book is the definition of bittersweet, but beautiful and the ending is perfect. That series still gives me a case of the feels.

Okay that's it for The Coffee Book Tag! If you love coffee, books, and tags then this tag is for you! Feel free to send me the link if you do the tag. I love to see everyone's answers. I think these tags are a great way to get to know other bloggers better. Thanks for reading. <3

National Book Lovers Day! / Mini Book Haul!

Yesterday was National Book Lovers Day. I hope everyone got to enjoy it and got some reading done. I know I did! I was very lucky and I got to sleep in till NOON. I've been having some pain so my wonderful husband got up with the kids and let me sleep in. AWWWW.

I didn't know till Saturday night that Sunday was National Book Lovers day, but I had to read and drink coffee to celebrate! So I decided to go to Starbucks and use my free birthday drink coupon. Woo hoo free starbucks!! By the way, if you haven't tried the new mocha coconut frappucino yet it is really good. Yum! After all that, I was finally ready to READ.

I read the Storm Front Volumes 1 &2  graphic novels by Jim Butcher. I love this book series and when I found out there were graphic novels I had to see what they were like. I borrowed these from the library a while ago, so it was a good time to finally read them. So now I can return them! I thought they were both very good. I enjoyed the artwork quite a bit. I am glad that I read the novels first though.

I also read some on my IRL YA book club pick, Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha Van Leer. I'm still not done with it, but it's good so far. I like the interactions between Oliver and Delilah more than anything else in the book. I have to admit I'm not enjoying the parts as much where it's telling the actual fairy tale. Well I can't wait to finish it and see what I think at the end.

So that's what I read yesterday for National Book Lovers Day! I hope everyone else got a chance to get some reading in too. Or maybe some book shopping. If there is anything I like just as much as reading, it's book shopping for sure! Just recently I went book shopping (YEY Barnes & Noble gift cards!) and here's my mini book haul!

 I started The Three by Sarah Lotz, but I'm not very far in to it yet. I think I will read Splintered after that. I can't wait to read that one. JUST LOOK AT THE COVER !

It's gorgeous. I hope the story is as good as the cover is pretty! I know I'm not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but I've heard some pretty good things about it too.

So what did you read this weekend to celebrate National Book Lovers Day? If you went shopping, what did you get in your book haul? Let me know in the comments!! :)
