The Bibliophile Sweater Tag


Jameson from Lovely Whatsoevers tagged me for the Bibliophile Sweater Tag! Thanks, Jameson!


Here are the rules:



1.) Give the person who tagged you a never-ending supply of cookies (or just thank them - either works).
2.) Answer all the questions and use the blog graphic for this tag somewhere in your post (the original graphic is above).
3.) Pass along the tag to at least five other people wear a sweater (okay, this is optional...but why wouldn't you want to??)

Okay, here we go!

Fuzzy Sweater

(a book that is the epitome of comfort)


There a lot of books that could fall under the comfort category, but if I have to choose just one it would be Echoes. This is the third book in The Glenbrooke series (all of which are comfort books), and I'm choosing it as the epitome of comfort because it was the book in the series that introduced me to Irish Breakfast Tea. I mean tea pretty much goes with comfort, right?

Striped Sweater
(book which you devoured every line of) 


I've mentioned it before, but I adore Harlan Coben's books. If I'm being completely honest, I devour every line of pretty much all of them. They are addicting. But since I have to pick one, I'm going with The Stranger. It's not my favorite novel of Coben's, but it is one of the ones I've read the fastest.

Ugly Christmas Sweater
(book with a weird cover)


I don't really own many books with weird covers, so this was a hard one. Ultimately, I'm going with Gone for Good. It's yellow and the title is embossed (it's like that on the spine as well), so it's not always the easiest to read from a distance. Is it the weirdest cover out there? No, but it's one of the weirdest that I own.

Cashmere Sweater
(most expensive book you've bought)


Yeah, there's no contest here. Hardcore Twenty-Four is the most expensive book I've bought.

Hoodie
(favorite classic book)


Treasure Island is one of the few classic books that I've read, so it's kind of my favorite by default. Thanks to Pirates of the Caribbean, I was kind of obsessed with pirates for a while (they still fascinate me to this day), so I think it's pretty fitting that this is one of the classics I've read.

Cardigan 
(book you bought on impulse) 


The Lacemaker and the Princess is a book I bought on impulse years ago when I was on vacation. It takes place around the French Revolution and is about a girl who befriends Marie Antoinette's daughter.

Turtleneck Sweater 
(book from your childhood) 


I've always had a fondness for fairy tales (thanks Disney!), so I think it's fitting that one of my favorite books from my childhood is Fairest, which is a Snow White retelling. It's by the same author as Ella Enchanted, and I've read this one multiple times.

Homemade Knitted Sweater
(book that is indie-published)


The vast majority of the indie-published books that I own are e-books, so the only ones that I have physical copies of are my own book and Dragon Lyric.

V-Neck Sweater & Argyle Sweater
(book that did not meet your expectations and book with a unique format)


Two in one! While Black Widow Forever Red is a book that I enjoyed for the most part, it definitely didn't meet my expectations. When I heard about this book, I expected more Natasha Romanoff and less Ava and Alex. I'm also choosing this as my book with a unique format, because I don't have many books with unique formats. In this one, on occasion, you have transcripts from where Natasha is having to give a debrief about the events of the book, so I thought that was pretty unique.

Polka Dot Sweater
(a book with well-rounded characters)


This was a hard one. I really don't know which books have the best well-rounded characters, because it's been a while since I've read a lot of them. I'm going with Heist Society though, because I did really enjoy all of the characters that are in this book and the ones that follow it.
