Clearly I am just using this Hiatus as an excuse to catch up on tags- which I sorely need to do!
And today I’ve been long overdue for a coffee break! So thanks so much to the sensational Words and Lyrics and the lovely Dreaming Through Literature!
Black: A series that’s tough to get into but has hardcore fans
I say that as a fan
Peppermint Mocha: A book that gets more popular during the winter or a festive time of year
Gonna go with Narnia- cos it always makes me think of Christmas!
Hot Chocolate: A favorite children’s book
Okay- for the sake of originality, I’m gonna go with Ballet Shoes- just cos I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on here before! Anyone else read it?
Double Shot of Espresso: A book that kept you on edge of your seat from start to finish
Easily!
Starbucks: A book you see everywhere
There’s a lot of those- I think for now I will mention Serpent King cos hopefully I’ll be reading it soon!
That Hipster Coffee Shop: A book by an Indie author
I don’t read many of these- but The Martian was technically an indie book first (technically so was Fifty Shades of Grey– but I think it’s best to give acolades to good books only!)
Oops! I Accidentally Got Decaf: A Book You Were Expecting More From
Where do I start? I’m gonna go with the Miniaturist cos I reviewed that most recently- but to be honest there are loads! (Unfortunately!)
The Perfect Blend: A book or series that was both bitter and sweet, but ultimately satisfying
You’ll know why if you’ve read it!
Green Tea: A book or series that is quietly beautiful
Ooh quietly beautiful- that’s a lovely term- definitely Brideshead Revisited.
Chai Tea: A book or series that makes you dream of far off places
Earl Grey: A favorite classic
You know what I never mention this, for some reason, even though I love it
I tag:
That’s all for now- I will be back shortly- can’t wait to catch up! In the meantime what book genre do you best like to enjoy over a coffee break?
Great tag! 🙂

Ahh so exciting to meet another fan!! It was on my uni syllabus so I knew a fair number who read it but you’re the first person on the blogosphere. Agreed, is fantastic! Thanks! 🙂

Ahh that’s cool – it was on my uni syllabus too, I had a ’19th century novel’ module and it was by far my favourite module. It was basically an excuse to study all my favourite classics. 🙂 I haven’t read this one since uni – you’ve inspired me to re-read it!

Ahh so cool! Haha yes, I get that! I did a fairy tales course at one point, just so I could read fairy tales, so I’m exactly the same 😉 you should!! 🙂

Ooh that sounds fantastic, I’d love to study fairy tales, that’s awesome! Which ones did you cover on the course? I really miss studying books in general. Book blogging is an outlet for that, but I really do wish I could go back to uni 😊

It was good- the selection of books was awesome- we did Renaissance Italian fairytales, grimms, Perrault, Victorian, Peter pan and modern fairytales (including the bloody chamber) to name a few. I sort of miss it- I preferred it at school tbh. I have to say- blogging beats it easily for me! 😛

Amber Spyglass was indeed bitter-sweet 😦 Perhaps a little too bitter for my tastes at the time I read it, but it’s been ages since so I think I need to do a re-read.
And I completely agree with Lord of the Rings… the Fellowship was slow going (I found it hard to get into), but once I made it through the first half I was hooked.

Loved all your choices! I haven’t read His Dark Materials in such a long time! Maybe it’s time for a reread. Although the ending of The Amber Spyglass was indeed bittersweet! And Narnia is definitely a favorite of mine! 🙂

I am going to have to find that Ballet Shoes one, I used to do Ballet and I loved it. I only gave it up because the girls I grew up with all started to turn nasty towards each other. I would love to read this one!

YAS. I want you to read The Serpent King soon too! More people need to read it, because even though I see it everywhere, I don’t feel like a many read it.
I don’t drink coffee though … so, over a TEA break I would probably read any book available. Maybe just not something with a very action filled plot, because then the time would be too short.
