Hi hello, I have returned, and today I’m going back to basics with an alphabet tag apparently designed to make me regret all the repeating vowels and tricky letters in the blog name I was so pleased with. (I kid … or do I?)
I was tagged by Siren @ Sweaters & Raindrops; this tag was created by Lynne @ Fictionophile.
Rules:
- Spell out your blogโs name.
- Find a book from your TBR that begins with each letter. (Note: you cannot ADD to your TBR to complete this challenge โ the books must already be on your Goodreads TBR)
- Have fun!
N – Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
I – Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
N – Not Your Hero by C.B. Lee
E – Essential Dykes to Watch Out For, The by Alison Bechdel
.
T – Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie
A – All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
L – Love Songs of Sappho, The by Sappho
E – Everything All at Once by Katrina Leno
.
V – Vera Kelly Is Not a Mystery by Rosalie Knecht
I – I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett
X – Xenocide by Orson Scott Card*
E – Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
N – No-No Boy by John Okada
.
* This one’s from my read list, not my TBR – I don’t have any TBR titles starting with X.

I tag:
DB โข Marley โข Dorothy
and, as always, anyone who wants to participate!
Fun! I want to read Gaiman’s Neverwhere. I wonder if it is worth it after the TV series.

I’ve sometimes found that it’s easier for me to appreciate both the book and the adaptation if I watch the adaptation first, but I suppose you’ll never know for sure unless you try ๐ค

Iโm going to actually have to formally write my TBR out now (Iโm terrible at using Goodreads atm) ๐

Goodreads can take some getting used to, but it does come in handy for TBR tags like this one, haha

haha I can’t actually recommend them since I haven’t read them yet, but they’ve all survived multiple TBR purges because I’ve heard such good things about them! ๐
