The Fall Bucket List Book Tag

I haven’t done a book tag since July, so a new one is necessary! This fall-themed one from Read By Tiffany is absolutely adorable – so I’m jumping in! It’s called The Fall Bucket List Book Tag.

Here are her rules:

• • • • • • Link back to the original creator in your post.
          • Feel free to use any of my graphics in your post, or create your own!
          • Tag 7 other people at the end of your post, and let them know you’ve tagged them.

A TOTALLY AWKWARD LOVE STORY
by Tom Ellen & Lucy Ivison

I’ve raved about this book on several bookish lists type of posts and I’m doing it again – because this book is just too cute and it flew under the radar. First of all, it’s written by two authors who actually dated in high school, which I find adorable. It has everything that is real in a high school relationship or experience. Okay, maybe sometimes that can be not light-hearted, but at the end of the day, this book made me smile!

STALKING JACK THE RIPPER
by Kerri Maniscalco

I feel like as this series continued, it received more and more hype, but when it first came out, it wasn’t everywhere. I loved this book, and it totally has fall vibes if your fall vibe is murder (which, hellooooo, it’s October!).

I’ll admit, I need to continue this series desperately! I started the second book but never finished and I don’t know why. THE HYPE IS REAL and I need to jump on that train.

TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE
by Stephanie Tromly

Okay, if my memory serves me right (I read this a long time ago), this isn’t the most healthy of friendships. Zoe meets Digby who is kind of demanding and it can be super unhealthy at times – but his demanding personality is why this whole book happens! They investigate a kidnapping that might be related to the disappearance of Digby’s sister (so, I mean, of course he’d be obsessive). Overall, I thought even though the friendship could be unhealthy at times, that it created a fun relationship because it forced Zoe out of her comfort zone and into some crazy situations. If that makes sense. Plus, it’s like a YA Sherlock Holmes!

FANGIRL
by Rainbow Rowell

I really need to reread this one. This is one of the first books I ever read when I got into YA & the online book community. This means I don’t remember everything about it BUT I do remember it giving me the warm & fuzzies. I remember I really started looking for contemporary novels after this one. I remember loving that she was a nerd like most of us. Yep, definitely warmed my heart 🙂

*Note: I read this book so long ago I didn’t even have my blog yet (which I’ve had for at least 4 years). So, there is no review for it on my blog! WOAH.

TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE
by Jenny Han

Literally the only book I could think of with a character who cooks anything. She’s technically a baker, so I don’t know if I’d put her down as a “talented chef“. BUT BAKED GOODS FOR FALL? Perfection. Those are the fall vibes I’m talking about.

I need to reread book 2 before the movie comes out because I remember nothing.

*Note: Also no review for this because it was pre-blogging days. See, I got into contemporary for a time after Fangirl!

HEART OF IRON
by Ashley Poston

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. I’m so glad I included it in a month for Blu’s Bookish Bag – otherwise, I don’t know if I would have read it. It’s all about her trying to save her android friend D09 and the adventure that ensues. It’s packed full of fun, the characters are fantastic, and I can’t wait to read book 2. It reminded me so much of Treasure Planet – do you remember that cartoon from 2002? I watched it so much 😆 This book definitely made me jump for joy!
