The I Love Spring Book Tag was originally created by Helene Jeppesen & Amanda Elise Carina! I wasn’t tagged by anyone (I think) but I’m going to do it anyway, because it is hella cute! As you are reading this, I am probably in California traffic, trying to come home from LA! 🌸🌼🌺
➽ 1.) How is Spring where you live?
I live right outside of Vegas, and let’s be real, it’s too damn hot here all year ‘round, regardless. But March isn’t too bad, April is a little much, and May is the start of the ungodly heat. But everywhere inside has industrial strength AC, and everywhere outside has swimming pools, so it’s not unbearable.
➽ 2) Most anticipated book release this Spring?
Without question, my most anticipated Spring 2018 release is Circe
by Madeline Miller! I am 1/3 into it and it may be the best thing I’ve ever read in my life. I am so in love. And I can’t wait for the rest of the world to fall in love with it, too!
➽ 3) Show us a book cover that makes you think of Spring.
Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore! I mean, look at those flowers. What a damn blessing. And the inside of this book is just as beautiful as the outside. This is a masterpiece. Please, if you haven’t given this book a try yet, do yourself a favor and read it.
➽ 4) What are you going to read this Spring?
Oh my gosh, this question! *sips all the tea* Too many things. But if I had to name five, I’d pick: Sky in the Deep, Lifel1k3, ACOFAS, Legendary, and Ash Princess!
➽ 5) Find a cover with the sun on it!
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is immediately the book that comes to mind for me. I haven’t read this yet, but I do plan on it one day. And like, holy beautiful.
➽ 6) What are your favorite Spring reads?
I’m honestly not a seasonal reader. Well, maybe a little around the Fall and Winter, but for sure not for Spring or Summer. And honestly *record scratch* Spring is my least favorite season. But, like, let’s go with Harry Potter because 1.) when ISN’T a good a time to read Harry Potter? And 2.) This wouldn’t be a Melanie Parker book tag if I didn’t mention Harry Potter at least once!
➽ 7) Find a book with many different colors on it.
Euphoria by Lily King is a book I know absolutely nothing about, but it has drawn me in every single time I see it in a bookstore. Perfect cover design, artist, everything. This cover completely hypnotizes me and I couldn’t even think of an answer besides this mysterious book.
➽ 8) Whom do you tag?
🌸 Lilly
🌹 Avery
🌺 Destiny
🌸 Benni
🌺 The Orangutan Librarian
🌻 Sophie
🌹 Kayla
💐 Raven
🌻 May

What a fun tag! I didn’t know Angie Thomas had another book coming out, but now I’m excited too. And I gave Euphoria a shot last summer … I recommend continuing to just admire it from afar, haha. But it *is* a wonderful cover!

Such a cute tag! I really want to read Circe, it looks great! I’m not much of a seasonal reader either but oddly enough I always reread Harry Potter in the summer and re-watch the movies in the winter.

YOU CUTIE 💜 Thank you for tagging me!! 😘 And oh my god, I live in Texas (save me) and it is horribly hot in the summer, fall, and spring. It’s made me very distasteful of the heat but I probably would freeze to death if I had to live in 30s and below. 😂 Love this tag and love you!!

I DIDN’T KNOW YOU LIVED IN TEXAS! If I ever go to a book event there… we must meet up and have coffee and tea and go book shopping and be cute together. Okay? Okay! ❤ xx

I DO! (Though I wish I lived in a more liberal state. 🙄) And yes, we will definitely be cute together, but I have to say that I’m not much of a fan of coffee. 🙈

I can’t wait to read your review of Circe. I’m very on the fence because it’s not my “usual”. At the same time, that’s one of the things that’s attracting me. Bookworm dilemmas!
