Emily @ Loony Literate graciously tagged me for this delicious post (because cake + books = amazing every time), and so I present to you 'The Book Cake Tag'! Enjoy :)
FLOUR
A book that was a little slow to start off but really picked up as it went along
I wasn't really sure how this was going to turn out but then WOW.
BUTTER
A book that had a rich, great plot
Kate Forsyth's storytelling is beautiful, and this book was so wonderfully woven.
EGGS
A book you thought was going to be bad but actually turned out quite enjoyable
This isn't a book I would have normally chosen to read, but I planned to use it for school and actually found it really fascinating to explore how people lived in East Germany during the Cold War.
SUGAR
A sugary, sweet cube
It's cute, and funny, and such a good read.
ICING
A book that covered every single element that you enjoy about a book (funny moments, action moments, sad moments etc.)
I'm pretty predictable, but this really takes the cake (no pun intended but in this case it works).
SPRINKLES
A book series that you can kind of turn back to for a little pick me up when you're feeling down.
I haven't had much time to re-read lately, but I'd probably go with...
THE CHERRY ON TOP
Your favourite book this year so far
Ooh it's a close call, but I'd have to go with this anthology - It really amazed me and I loved the graphics too.
I tag:
Kristy @ Booknerd Reviews
Chiara @ Books for a Delicate Eternity
Angel @ Angel Reads
Great tag! Seeing this tag all over the place is making me so hungry. I need cake!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia! Every time I look at the image I put up there I feel like cake too *goes in search in the fridge*
DeleteRED QUEEN FOR SURE. Yes, a slowish start and political intrigue, but WOW, what a book!
ReplyDeleteI know right! It really ended up being quite the showstopper. Thanks for stopping by Amanda :)
DeleteHOW did I know there'd be a Jackie French book on here? :) I so agree with Faking It, as well.
ReplyDeleteHaha I suppose I can be just that little bit predictable when it comes to her books ;)
DeleteRed Queen definitely fits for flour. There was so much info dumping at the beginning that the pace was just really slow, but I'm so glad I stuck with it until the end. It really picked up the pace near the end, and honestly, I like that much better than the other way around.
ReplyDeleteExactly - I think that it's good that even if all the information and a slow start can come in at the beginning, it's always better to end a book on a high.
DeleteI agree about Red Queen! It had SUCH a good ending and I was really impressed with who the evil person turned out to be. xD OHHH. I want to read that anthology! Mostly because it's pretty but also because it has graphic story parts. XD YAY. I like books that are written a little bit differently. xD
ReplyDeleteSaaame - I was just like 'okay take a step back - O.O'
DeleteEat the Sky, Drink the Ocean is a fantastic anthology to start off with - the beautiful title is just a glimpse at the awesome which is inside :)
Lovely combination dear. Red Queen should be the flour, it's the most important element HAHA I can't wait for the sequel!

Thank you - I can't wait for the sequel either after a cliffhanger like that!
