Every season they host this event where prompts are given and they offer you a look into the blogger behind the blog. Today, I will be doing the Productivity Booktag by Sam!

Rules
  • Answer the prompts.
  • Tag some friends.
  • Link back to this post, and be sure to mention the creator (Sam @ Fictionally Sam)
  • Have fun!

Planning | A book that is completely thought out.

I will echo Sam here and say A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas; I have only read this series once, but as I was reading I saw how developed  this series was. The world is lush and the characters are grand. 
Focus | A book that kept your undivided attention
A book that kept my attention was The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. I read this book in two weeks in early 2019. The world was so capturing  and I loved all the characters and the story. The one character I can't stand is Taryn, maybe if I read the novella to see her side of the story I would change my mind. 

Delegating | A book that should have been a series

I am not sure if this is a series or not but Last of Her Name by Jessica Khoury. This was another Sci-Fi Anastasia retelling and I want more from these characters and this world.  

Small goals | Name a book below 150 pages that you loved

Carmilla by J Sheridan La Fanu. This is a novella which is 90 pages long. I read it back when I was an English Major.  I wish the book was longer, but it packs a lot of punch. 

Peak Hours | A series you could only read at a certain time

I am not sure an answer for this question. Fangirl and Carry On I read in the summer into fall because it has those back to school vibes. 

Lists | A book that you finally crossed off your TBR 

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black! I read it this year after it had been out for a year. I think this book lives up to the hype. 

Proactive | A book that is/was ahead of its time

Once again I agree with Sam. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a story that was vastly ahead of its time.  It is a story that is still relevant today and I love that there is a play version on Broadway right now. 

Declutter | A series you wish you could unread

Well I don't know because I have enjoyed all the series I read. I loved the first two books in Divergent so that is out because I want to remember those. If I can switch this prompt to one book, it will be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. 

Multi-tasking | books that you read at the same time


I am just going to list my current reads because I am reading a lot of books right now.

All For One by Melissa de la Cruz

The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston

Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell

Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan (starting soon)

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- Favorite Books of the Year Part 1 (12-21)

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be on this list. I still thi

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from  this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series!  2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads.  3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
