The Thanksgiving Book Tag

Happy Monday Everyone :)


And Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Canadians!


We actually ended up celebrating Thanksgiving early this year. On Friday we enjoyed celebrating with my mom and stepdad and that side of the family, and on Saturday we celebrate with my dad and his fiance, and that side of the family. It was an awesome weekend, and I love being able to spend time with family at the holidays. 

However, since it is Canadian Thanksgiving, it only seemed appropriate that I participate in the Thanksgiving Book Tag.

I've done lots of themed book tags over the years, but I've never actually done a Thanksgiving themed one before. I decided that needed to change this year, and so I'm going to participate in this fun tag that was created by Fangirlscity and that I discovered over on the sassy geek.

1. Bread- What book is purely fluff, and has no real plot line?



I couldn't stand this story when I finally got around to reading it a few months ago. I thought the main love interest was toxic and abusive, and that the content was inappropriate for a ya novel. However, I also thought it was ridiculous with no true plot to follow, and that it was just mainly stuffed full of fluff and filler content. 



2. Turkey- What book made you want to fall asleep?




I don't honestly know why I wanted to read this book in the first place, but I was miserable the whole way through. I found the plot dragged excruciatingly, and that most of the time I was barely following what was actually happening. I read this back a few years ago when I refused to dnf any book, and I would have been much happier if I'd just given up on it instead of forcing myself to suffer the whole way through it. 



3. Gravy- What book makes the whole series worth reading?




I loved the entire Doon series, but the third book was by far my favorite. I was totally wrapped up in the story line, and I loved how it was completely different from the rest of the series. 



4. Stuffing- What book is stuffed full of action scenes?




One of my favorite fantasy novels ever, I loved how action packed this one is from start to finish. 



5. Mashed Potatoes- What book looked good, and then wasn’t?




I loved the cover and the synopsis of this one, and I couldn't wait to read it. I ended up being so disappointed after finishing it, and consider it one of the worst books I read in 2019. The content was atrocious, the characters were almost all insufferable, and the only things I really ended up enjoying were the writing and Owen's character. 



6. Cranberries- What book has the sweetest romance?




So many choices for this one, but Finley and Beckett are two of my faves. I loved how raw and heartfelt their romance was, but also that it was full of so many quirky and adorable moments. Can't even express how much I love these two. 



7. Corn- What’s the corniest book you’ve ever read?




I don't usually find a lot of Christian fiction titles that I end up disliking, but this is one of the few exceptions. The plot was ridiculous, the romance was too corny even for my standards, and the ending was implausible and completely unbelievable. 




8. Green beans- What book is too long and needs to be shortened?




This isn't a terribly long book, but it felt like at least half of the book was unnecessary to the original plot of the book. I only really ended up enjoying the first half, and thought it could have been much shorter than it was. 




9. Pumpkin Pie- What book do you read to get out of a reading slump?




Pretty much anything by Becky Wade or Liz Johnson could pull me out of a reading slump. I also love Kasie West's books for this purpose, and rereading the Twilight series. 




10. Dog/Cat- What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food that you would steal from the table?


Probably stuffing or mashed potatoes. Those two are always my favorites. 


Thanks so much for reading guys! I tag any of you that wants to participate, and be sure and let me know in the comments if you do!

Have a great rest of your Thanksgiving Monday, and I'll see you all again on Wednesday.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
