Christmas Cracker Book Tag

Oh what's this? Another festive book tag? What a shock! Today I'm going to be doing the Christmas Cracker book tag by Lucy. I have tried to vary my answers here as a few questions are similar to that of other book tags I have done recently, so I will be trying to think up some different books for you here.

Pick a Book With a Wintry Cover

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for a pretty cover (My True Love Gave To Me anyone?), and when it's a pretty WINTRY cover, then I have no hope of exiting the bookstore without taking that pretty little sucker back home with me. I really like the cover of When I Fall In Love by Miranda Dickinson. Spending Christmas in Paris, or even travelling to Paris in the winter is a great dream of mine so this cover is just so perfect.


Pick a Book You're Likely to Buy as a Present

I have bought way to many books as gifts this year, which just goes to show how many good books I have read this year that I want other people to read. For this question I'm going to answer with a book that I actually have bought as a present as I know that the recipient won't see this, and that is I Can Resist Everything Except Temptation: The Wicked Wit Of Oscar Wilde by Maria Leach. I have a good friend who adores Oscar Wild so this was an obvious choice for her.


Pick A Festive Themed Book

Again, for this one I'm going to pick a book I haven't mentioned in previous tags and that is Breakfast At Darcy's by Ali McNamara. Not so much festive based but defiantly a good winter read for the run up to Christmas. 

Pick a Book You Can Curl up With by the Fireplace

There is nothing I like better than curling up with blankets, tea and a good book this time of year. I love a bit of romance or new adult when having a good old cozy read, and I would choose Beautiful Disaster as you all know how much I love that book, but as I've been mentioning it quiteeeee a lot recently I decided to go with  Will Greyson, Will Greyson by John Green and David Levithan. I personally find The Fault In Our Stars and Looking For Alaska, while brilliant, a little overrated and I don't think this book gets the praise it deserves. 


Pick a Book You Want to Read Over the Festive Season

Not in any way a festive book, but I really want to pick up a Colleen Hoover novel. I have both Hopeless and Slammed sitting patiently in my tbr pile, along with a host of other new adult books as a result of my love for broken and damaged characters, and I aim to get to at least one over the school holidays.


Pick a Book so Good it Gives You Chills

For this one I'm going to pick a book that I recently read for review and that is Play Of Light by Debra Doxer, a beautifully sweet new adult romance about love that finally had a chance to blossom.


Pick a Book That's on Your Wishlist

As mentioned in previous tags I don't tend to add books to my Christmas list as if I want a book I will just go out and buy it, but a book that's up quite high on my wishlist that I plan to purchase soon is A Constellation Of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra.
