This was a lot of fun to do so I’m going to tag a few epic ladies who I think would enjoy it too:
Holly @NutFreeNerd
Gretchen @ChicNerdReads
Steph @Lost:PurpleQuill
Amy @AmyJaneAlice
If you’ve already done it or just don’t fancy it there’s no obligation at all. Equally, if I haven’t tagged you but you want to do it then go for it!
oooh what did you think of Eating Animals? I’ve been thinking about reading it for a while.
Thanks so much for tagging me! ❤
A few of my friends recommended me to watch The Shannara Chronicles tv show, as they really enjoyed it and thought I would as well. It’s definitely a show that I need to watch some time in the future. I have heard that the books are horrible though, so I’m staying away from them.
I’m glad that you had fun with this tag! 😀
Great picks for this tag Kate, and I agreed with a lot of your answers as well. You did better than me when I took part in this tag at keeping your answers rapid, I haven’t worked out how to not go into loads of detail. 🙂
As much as I pretty much always read on my Kindle there is nothing that beats the smell and feel of real books. It’s why I always buy loads in paperback or hardcover despite owning the Kindle edition as well. Also The Hate U Give is a book I’d recommend to everyone as well, it’s just an incredible and unforgettable story I want everyone to experience. 😀
