I’ve seen the Try a Chapter Tag on YouTube a few times now, and I was really inspired to try it for myself. I usually decide which book I’m going to read before I start reading though, so I’ve never found the right moment for it. But “Try 3 Chapters, Then Pick One to Continue” was a prompt in last month’s Biannual Bibliothon, so this was the perfect chance to give it a go.
I picked out Stolen Songbird, Gilded Cage and Pantomime to try. Here’s my initial reaction to each.
Thank you so much to Destiny over at Howling Libraries for the tag!

2) Answer the questions asked on this post — don’t stress it’s quick!
3) Nominate and notify some peeps. 5 preferred.
Destiny over at Howling Libraries nominated me for this back in… May? I think? It’s a really cool tag though, with lots of tips and advice if you look through them so I had to get around to it eventually.
the rules:
1. thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog
2. write a post to show your award
3. give a brief story of how your blog started
4. give two pieces of advice to new bloggers

I spotted this over at Kayla’s Book Nook and just couldn’t resist the chance to browse through some of my favourite covers. You can check out her post here and the original video, by Book Syrup over on YouTube, here. If you fancy answering it, consider yourself tagged.
What’s your favourite book cover? Do covers influence which books you buy?

I couldn’t think of a way to answer today’s Top Ten Tuesday that wasn’t really similar to a recent prompt so — since it’s my birthday later this month — I thought I’d give this a go. Keep an eye on the blog later this month, because I’m planning a preorder giveaway to celebrate.
I think the originally tag came from Cait at PaperFury but kudos also goes to Heather at The Sassy Book Geek for giving it a birthday twist.
This is a really fun, quick tag I saw Alexa Donne recently revive over on her YouTube channel. You can also check out the original video from sarawithoutanH. The videos for this tag are great fun to watch as the BookTubers are all doing their own makeup while answering the questions. Go check it out if you’re looking to kill an hour or two.
If you make your own version of this tag, I’d love to see it. Feel free to leave me a link to check out down in the comments. (more…)
Sinead from Huntress of Diverse Books nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award. You can read her awesome answers — which book intimidated her, and which is her favourite fictional sport — over here.
