BOOK TAG: The Coffee Book Tag

untitled-3

Maf did this over on her blog, and it seemed like fun! I love coffee, I love books, I love drinking coffee while I read books.

So here goes!

Black: 1. Name a series that’s tough to get into but has hardcore fans.

I don’t think I really have one that applies here? The only one I can think of is SJM’s series, and that’s more the “hardcore fans” bit than the “tough to get into” since I don’t ever plan to start reading them.

Peppermint mocha: 2. Name a book that gets more popular during the winter or a festive time of year.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like Stephen King books are EVERYWHERE around Halloween. I mean, he’s a big name so his books are always popular, but you cannot turn a corner without an SK book slapping you in the face throughout October.

Hot chocolate: 3. What is your favorite children’s book?

I still adore the Arthur books, and I’ll always love Brown Bear, Brown Bear.

Double shot of espresso: 4. Name a book that kept you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

GIRL ON THE VERGE by Pintip Dunn! That book fucked me up. It’s such a good psychological thriller that I think everyone should read.

Starbucks: 5. Name a book you see everywhere.

Fucking Christ, but Salami J. Mayo’s books. Just give it a rest already, my dudes.

That hipster coffee shop: 6. Give a book by an indie author a shoutout.

ARE YOU READY FOR A LIST BECAUSE I AM!

SHATTERPROOF by Xen Sanders
THE BLAZING STAR by Imani Josey
TEAM PHISON by Chace Verity
LONG MACCHIATOS AND MONSTERS by Alison Evans
SHOW YOURSELF TO ME by Xan West
COFFEE BOY by Austin Chant
MY BROTHER’S KEEPER by Abigail Roux

Oops! I accidentally got decaf: 7. Name a book you were expecting more from.

FIVE DARES by Eli Easton. Friends to lovers with two bi main characters should’ve been much better and much less bimisic.

The perfect blend: 8. Name a book or series that was both bitter and sweet but ultimately satisfying.

Okay for this one I’m taking bitter to mean “angsty” because I love this series and have two tattoos inspired by the ships. Anyway! A series that’s both sweet and angsty and so so much more is the CUT & RUN series by Abigail Roux. It’s a fucking roller coaster ride of feels with the perfect ending.
