Spring Cleaning Book Tag

1. Getting started: A book series you’ve been wanting to read

The Grisha trilogy and every book after by Leigh Bardugo, I know I'm aware how behind I am on this series. The first three books are sitting on my Kindle and I will get to them soon. I have heard the hype time and time again and seen the mixed reviews for this series. I want to read them all in 2019. 

2. Cleaning/organizing the closet: The best way to organize books

What is organizing your books? I'm kidding but I really don't organize my  books. I have kept my series and books that are related to authors together. If I had more book organization and maybe this summer, I will I would keep this system but have like colors together for stand alones. 

3. Getting rid of unnecessary things: Book/series you no longer need

Oh god. I will say Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. This is a classic novel that I stopped like 40 pages from the end, but oy I could not take this book anymore. I've called it DNFed  and I just need to get rid of the book and move on. 

4. Get some air: Your favorite light-hearted read

A favorite light hearted read is Fangirl. I know what you're all thinking she will never not put this book on a list ever right?! Anyway, this book is a delight and I love it so much.  

5. Clean out the kitchen cupboards: Favorite food-themed read

I have not read any food related reads. One on my TBR is All That She Can See by Carrie Hope Fletcher. I have read the synopsis, and this seems like a delightfully fun read about food. I guess Geekerella might count because of the Food Truck? 

6. Dust the shelves: What’s the fifth book on your bookshelf?

I have two big shelves I use so I used the main one. The fifth was Heart of Iron  by Ashley Poston. This is a Sci Fi Anastasia retelling and was one of my favorite books of 2018.  

7. Wishing for the end: A 2019 release you’re really excited about

There are so many books coming out this year that could fit on this list! Romanov by Nadine Brandes is one of my tops and it comes out next month! I can't wait to read this Anastasia retelling!  

8. Long but satisfying: The longest book series you’ve read

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I believe War and Peace is longer, but I have not  finished that book yet. Les Miserables took me over two years to read, but it was so satisfying when I finished.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can  be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres.   The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much I loved this

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I want to reread

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  Jana@thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and brings the book blogging community together. Each week Jana posts a topic, and we book bloggers write a response. This week, it's books I want to reread.  1- Pride & Prejudice   This is a classic I’ve read twice, I think? At least once, anyway, I love this novel so much. My favorite character in the book is Lizzie. I also miss the story. Maybe in 2021? Anyway, I miss this book and I want to reread it. 2- Foolish Hearts   I read this book in the summer of 2019. I had been in a bit of a slump at the time, so this pulled me out of it. I read the novel in about two weeks, and I just loved it so much. My favorite character is Claudia, and I want to revisit the book. That this involves theatre is another reason I need to reread this book ASAP. 3- After Anatevka   I know I talk about this book so much on the blog. I read this a few years ago now, and I want to revisit the charact
