Valentine's Book Tag (2019)



I was searching for a fun tag to do for Valentine's and came across this one. 
I'm not sure of the original creator but I found it here.


standalone book you love

A standalone? What is this strange thing you speak of? Do authors still write standalones? I guess I do still read some of those rare breeds and to be all extra I'll even choose one with "love" in the title. Who Do You Love spanned several years and followed two people who I loved and pulled for.

dystopian book you love

I don't talk about this book enough but I seriously loved it. It was one of my favorites last year and received my oh-so-rare five star rating (which is so rare that it's like a rainbow-colored unicorn with sprinkles). This dystopian/post-apocalyptic tale from Jessica Redmerski had me utterly captivated.

a book you love but no one else talks about

I'm going to use this opportunity to sing the praises of a YA contemporary book/trilogy that deserves so much more love and attention. Lora Richardson is just wonderful and she filled this book with everything I love about contemporary YA. 

favorite book couple

I literally just did a Top Ten Tuesday post on my favorite couples. Am I supposed to magically come up with another couple just two days later? Yes? Okay then, I'll go with Ridge and Sydney. I adored these two and felt like my heart hurt right along with theirs as they found their way together. 

a book other people love but you haven't read yet

How is it that I haven't read this? I mean, seriously, what am I doing with my life?

a book with red on the cover

Sure, plenty of things in this one had me rolling my eyes, and America has to be the most annoying character ever, but I still had fun being Team Maxon.

a book with pink on the cover

I read this one back in December and oh my goodness did it ever leave my heart bruised and battered. I mean, just the synopsis had me feeling all weepy, so you can imagine what actually reading it did to me. But it was also super hopeful and left me with a smile on my face.

you're given a box of chocolates.
which fictional boyfriend gives them to you?

First of all, do I even need to answer this one? Do we all not know that my heart belongs to Daemon Black? If not, are you new here?? Secondly, any worthy book boyfriend would know that I don't even particularly like chocolate (yeah, yeah, it's true, now let's move along). But I wouldn't turn down a cookie from Daemon...



you're single on valentine's day.
what book would you read?
what tv show would you watch?
what movie would you watch?
     

First, I'm curious why I'm single. Where did my husband go? Is he trapped under something heavy? Is he away on a secret mission? I'm a bit concerned but for the sake of the tag...
Book: I'll reread Wait For You because Cam + Avery always give me all the feels.
TV: Meh. I don't watch TV so moving on... 
Movie: Love Actually. Nevermind that it's set at Christmastime. Minor details. It's funny and swoony and makes me happy.

you're in a bookstore when you get shot by cupid's arrow. what new release will you love?

It'll break my heart... but I'll love it.


no matter how you spend the day...
 happy valentine's day!

  1. I need to read Josh and Hazel too... And, Everything Under The Sun.

    Love Actually is awesome, Daemon Black yummy and Cam is perfect (didn't like Avery much though, tbh).

    I like this list. :)

    1. I know, I know! I actually got annoyed with myself yesterday for not reading it yet so I ordered the paperback from Amazon. It'll be in my greedy little hands tomorrow! :)

  3. I loved Josh & Hazel! As Sam said, I hope you read it someday. Everything Under the Sun is such a pretty cover! I've read this author before but I can't remember what books. Hmmm...

    Aha! I just clicked over to Goodreads and this is J.A. Redmerski and I read The Edge of Never and Killing Sarai! Yes, she's good. I'll have to check this one out.

    Btw, I love the photo you created for this book tag. It's so pretty! :)

    1. I won’t just read it someday, I’ll read it SOON! Just writing about it got e excited for it again so I ordered it and will have it tomorrow. :)

      Yep, Jessica Redmerski is J.A. Redmerski! From trained assassins to romance to dystopian... I swear, she can do it all!

      Aw, thanks Rachel! I manage to bumble my way through graphics so it’s a great feeling to get complimented on one! :)

  5. I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day! I haven’t heard of that dystopia book. I’ll have to look it up because I love that genre.

    Aj @ Read All The Things!

    1. I might be just a tad too romance-y for you but I still totally recommend it. :)

  6. This is so cute!! I wish I saw this before the holiday ended lol!! I want to try Taylor Jenkins Reid soooo bad!!!! Any advice on the first one I should read by her?

    1. I feel like you can’t go wrong no matter you pick up with Taylor Jenkins Reid, but I’d probably recommend starting with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It was my favorite read of 2018 and just so, so good. One True Loves is another one that I thought was excellent!

  7. Um, you haven't read Josh and Hazel???? It's such a Tanya book!

  8. I remember liking Love Actually but I should probably rewatch as I don't remember a lot? And Forever, Interrupted... I've only read one TJR book but I really liked it and I thought she did a great job exploring relationships and the what-if questions.

    1. I watch Love Actually waaay too often. I'm at the point of reciting dialogue. LOL

  9. Psh, your book boyfriend should definitely know if you don't like chocolate :-P I haven't read these except The Elite, but I have seen you talk about the dystopian one a lot, and I am curious about it!

    1. Everything Under the Sun was one of my big surprises last year. Got an arc on a whim and ended up loving it!

  10. I read Obsidian so long ago that I need to re-read it. I would like to read all of these really. Chocolate is the mostest, bestest, everest, thing ever. Happy belated Vday! =)
