Do I Have That OTHER Book TAG

Do I Have That OTHER Book TAG challenge, similar to a previous one (link) where you try to find a book for each prompt.

The Questions

1. Do you have a book with a fox on the cover or part of the plot?

- Aesop's Fables

2. Do you have a book that was published the year you were born, or within a 3-year radius?

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

3. Do you have a book with music as a weapon or magic?

- The only music one I could think of is If I Stay, but that's definitely not in the context of weaponry

4. Do you have a series with mismatched covers?

- Oh most definitely. One I dislike the most is my Gallagher Academy collection because of the height changes in different paperbacks (and I also have one book as a hardcover!)

5. Do you have a book with a shapeshifter?

- Imposter has a "Variant" who can change appearances to become someone else

6. Do you have a book signed by the author?

- A couple! I think my first one was Torch Against the Night

7. Do you have a book with a mostly red cover?

- My copy of Catching Fire is pretty much completely red

8. Do you have a book between 287 – 306 pages?

- River Secrets has 290!

9. Do you have a book with a main character who wears glasses?

-Well the first one that popped into my head was Harry Potter, but other than that I'm not sure at all

10. Do you have a book with a title that has the same number of letters as your first name?

- Cress! That took a while to find

11. Do you have a book with cybercrime/technology as a plot point?

- Cinder and Ella

12. Do you have a book written in another language or translated to English?

- Some books in Finnish, though they are all translated like Ylpeys ja ennakkoluulo (Pride and Prejudice). Then there's the Ruby Red trilogy was originally in German and I have the English translations

13. Do you have a book written by an Asian author?

- The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang I believe

14. Do you have a book with a moon on the cover?

- Hans Christian Andersen Collection

15. Do you have an illustrated children’s book?

- I have a Dr. Seuss collection

16. Do you have a collection of fairy tales or myths?

- Grimm's collection

17. Do you have a sci-fi/fantasy with an alliance between races?

- I'd say Snow Like Ashes counts? It has different alliances between people from different Seasons

18. Do you have a book with a narrow front cover? (paperback with a front cover that is slightly trimmed shorter/narrower than the rest of the book)

- If I Stay

19. Do you have a book that includes the first chapter of the sequel?

- The Goose Girl

20. Do you have a book with a broken spine?

- Divergent, my one and only one with a cracked spine

Bonus Question: Do you have a book that covers 3 or more of the above prompts??

- Well Harry Potter wears glasses, the third one was published the year I was born and I have the illustrated edition, but the illustrated edition was published way later. But it is in Finnish though! Oh, and would Remus or Tonks possibly be counted as shapeshifters?

Books I Still Want to Get to 2020

The year 2020 is reaching the end, all of a sudden for me. When writing this post I have read 20 books. This isn’t that much when comparing to previous years, but I am working on my Bachelor’s Thesis, so it is something.

With so many books I want to read, I thought I’d make this list about ones I’d really love to get to still this year. Well, I suppose we’ll see about accomplishing it, but that’s the idea at least.

Also, you might notice that most of these are from my ‘2020 Anticipated Reads and New Releases‘ (link), which I haven’t exactly done a good job with completing. But there is still some time!

1. My Calamity Jane (current read)

2. Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor

3. One by One

4. Bookish and the Beast

5. Of Curses and Kisses

Read on lovelies,

S
