Cozy Fall Book Tag

Time for another tag! I'm nowhere near being out of fall book tags to do, fortunately. I've found a whole bunch of Booktube videos with this tag, so I decided to give it a go!

Crunching leaves: The world is full of color. Choose a book that has reds/oranges/yellows on the cover. I think ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff fits this best - it definitely has all of those colors! Maybe not in the most strictly autumnal setting, but that's okay.

Cozy sweater: It's finally cold enough to don warm cozy clothing. What book gives you the warm fuzzies? THE SUMMER OF JORDI PEREZ by Amy Spalding is super summery, but it's a new favorite that I absolutely adored and I have to talk about it for this! It was absolutely delightful and I was grinning the whole time I was reading.

Fall storm: The wind is howling and the rain is pounding. Choose your favorite book or genre that you like to read on a stormy day. I'm cheating a bit with this because this is going to be the next book I read on a stormy day: FOR A MUSE OF FIRE by Heidi Heilig. A storm would be the perfect excuse to stay in all day and read this!

Cool crisp air: Who's the coolest character you'd want to trade places with? I can't really say that I'd want to trade places with any character that I read about, but I would love to go into the setting of my current read: A DASH OF TROUBLE. I want to go to a magical bakery! All of the food sounds absolutely delicious.

Hot apple cider: What under-hyped book do you want to see become the next biggest, hottest thing? Another recent favorite: THE SPY WITH THE RED BALLOON by Katherine Locke. I genuinely believe that this book could be hugely popular, but it's been seriously underhyped so far.

Coat, scarf, and mittens: The weather has turned cold and it's time to cover up. What's the most embarrassing book cover you own that you like to keep hidden in public? I don't actually own these covers, but I was hiding them when I had the books out from the library: the VAMPIRE ACADEMY series by Richelle Meade! These covers are just...I think you can tell. They also really don't reflect what the books are like!

Pumpkin spice: What's your favorite fall comfort food? I do love pumpkin spice, but as far as comfort food goes, I have to go with cornbread stuffing. Absolutely delicious! That's the season-specific one, but I also couldn't write this without bringing up my mom's buttermilk pancake recipe that she makes once in a while, including every Thanksgiving morning.

What's your favorite part of fall? Tell me in the comments!

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha

Ten Unique Books I've Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: ten of the most unique books I've read! ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: This one's mostly about the way the story is told. I absolutely love how so many different formats are used and how they all come together to form one story! SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo: No matter how hard I try, I can't think of any books that compare to this. When you combine the setting and the multiple perspectives and the heist aspect, you get something totally unique. WOLF BY WOLF by Ryan Graudin: Alternate histories aren't really anything new, but alternate histories plus powers plus motorcycle races? Definitely unique. And definitely amazing. THE SCORPIO RACES by Maggie Stiefvater: The weird thing about this book is that it feels kind of familiar, like it should remind me of another book. But it doesn't. I've never read anything quite like it. MORE HAPPY

My Ten Most Disappointing Reads

As I've read more books, I've generally gotten better at telling whether I'm going to like a book before I read it. Sometimes, though, books trick me - I look at them, think I'm going to love them, and then I don't. That really annoys me, but it makes for good post material - basically, this whole post is going to be me venting about books I really wanted to love. THE WINNER'S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski: I heard so many great things about this series - I still do - and I just don't get it. I read the first book, and I didn't care about anything that was going on, and at this point, there's no way that I'm finishing the series. DASH & LILY'S BOOK OF DARES by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan: I couldn't even finish this one, and you guys know how rarely I DNF books. I thought this was going to be a really cute holiday story, and I've really liked other David Levithan books, but by the time I was just a few chapters in I
