Tag Your Bookish Friends!


1) What Book Are You Currently Reading? Exiles {Realms of the Infinite #1} by R.J. Larson. I'm only on pg. 18, but I'm quite enjoying it already!



2) What's The Last Book You Finished? Home of Our Hearts {Christy & Todd: The Married Years #2} by Robin Jones Gunn. Christy and Todd are adorable! *huggles book*



3) Favorite Book You Read This Year? Um ... (my goodness, why did I make up this question??) Samara's Peril by Jaye L. Knight, King's Folly by Jill Williamson, Defy by Tricia Mingerink, The Golden Braid by Melanie Dickerson, Entwined by Heather Dixon (I couldn't possibly just choose one!)







4) What Genre Have You Read Most This Year? Historical Fiction, 18 in all!

5) What Genre Have You Read Least This Year? Contemporary, 3 in all.

6) What Genre Do You Want To Read More Of? Fairy Tales! I've only read five fairy tales this year, and I LOVE fairy tales! Happily, I'm just two books in to the A FAIRY TALE RETOLD series by Regina Doman, and have them all requested at the library! *grins*








7) How Many Books Have You Read This Year, And What's Your Goal? 58 and my goal is 120!

8) What's The Last Book You Bought? Mardan's Mark by Kathrese McKee. It's lovely! I confess, I did like the old cover better, but this one is good too! And the story inside is awesome!! ^_^

(new cover)

9) What Book Are You Saving Up To Buy Next? Defy by Tricia Mingerink probably. Book three to this amazing Christian fantasy series! I loved it, and can't wait to have it sitting next to the rest on my bookshelf!

10) How Many Books Did You Check Out Last Library Visit? Four

11) What's A Book You Can't Wait To Read? Exiles by Jaye L. Knight; A Moonbow Night by Laura Frantz; Poison Crown: The Smallman's Heir by Anne Elisabeth Stengl; The Silent Songbird by Melanie Dickerson; King's Blood by Jill Williamson (was that not just one? Sorry, guys ...)






12) What's A Series You'd Recommend to Everyone? ILYON CHRONICLES by Jaye L. Knight. I seriously do recommend this series to all people ... and so far, they've all loved it! ^_^



13) Who's An Author You're Hoping Writes More? Jan Watson. I haven't seen any new releases from her in awhile, but I loved her two series and companion novels that went with them! Such rich historical! The characters are still on my mind and I want to see more of them!











14) A Few Books Your Heart Adores? Courting Morrow Little by Laura Frantz; Entwined by Heather Dixon; Starflower by Anne Elisabeth Stengl; A Distant Melody by Sarah Sundin






15) What Series's Coming Conclusion Makes You Sad? THE BLADES OF ACKTAR by Tricia Mingerink. I'm so super excited for Book Four, Deliver, but at the same time, it's bittersweet because that will be the final book!!

  1. Ooh, what a fun tag! Thanks for tagging me, Shantelle! :) These are great questions. I'll definitely have to do this one...

    Entwined, Golden Braid, and King's Folly are really good, yes. :D

    Yay for fairy tales! Oh, lucky you that Regina Doman's books are at your library! :O I've read the first but can't find the others anywhere... I may have to break down and get them someday. :)

    Yessss, I can't wait for The Silent Songbird and King's Blood! ^_^

    Ashburn is on my list too... I soooo want to read that one! :)

    This was so fun to read (yay books and covers! :D) and I'll let you know when I do my own post on it! (I actually started it last night sooo... hopefully it will actually happen in the near future. XD)

  3. It looks like you've been having a great reading year so far! That's awesome! And I'm just a teensy bit (read: very) jealous that you've already read Samara's Peril. BUT MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING and I will hopefully have a copy in my hands then. :)
