Summer Sweatalong Book Tag
This week’s Studious Saturday post is a tag which has been really fun to complete. Thank you, Lori, for tagging me! If you don’t follow Lori yet you should definitely take a look at her blog!
The Rules
- Link back to the original creator of the book tag (thebookwormdreamer).
- Start off with telling us your favourite season and why it is/isn’t summer!
- Tag five friends to take part.
- Enjoy!
My favourite season: Winter
I definitely do not enjoy the stifling summer heat here in Madrid. If I have to pick a favourite season it would most likely be winter because I always associate it with Christmas and New Year’s celebration which I love because I spend them surrounded by family. I also like being wrapped up and watching the snow fall from indoors (although we don’t get much of it around here).
Don’t Stop! A book you couldn’t stop reading:
Circe was just too good to stop reading and I had to force myself to leave it several times in order to not miss my stop and arrive to work on time!
You’re a cheetah – A book you read in just one day:
I remember starting this book during a flight and trying to rush and finish it but failing to do so. I then proceeded to finish it as soon as I arrived home.
Couldn’t let go – A book you reread straight away:
None! I don’t reread books.
Calm it down! A book that got your heart racing:
Twisted sure did get my heart racing on several occasions and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
Second best – A sequel you read faster than the first:
I am a huge fan of Cara Hunter’s writing and read the third book in the DI Adam Fawley series right after it was published!
Books on fire! A series you read straight through:
It only took me around one week to read Stieg Larsson’s Millenium series and I still remember the excitement of finishing one book and starting the next. This series is by far one of my favourites.
Midnight Madness! A book that kept you up late:
I stayed up very late several nights in a row trying to finish The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It was tough because there are so many little details that end up being key to the story line so I was skipping pages and turning back to check facts the entire time.
I won’t tag anyone this time but I really encourage everyone to do this tag. It is so great to look back on books that we hurried through because they were so brilliantly written!

Such a fun tag, Darina, and you did a great job with it. Evelyn Hardcastle kept me up late too.

Thanks, Jennifer! It was a really fun tag to do. Definitely, it’s one of those books that you just can’t stop reading because the story line draws you in so deep.

I have to admit that Stieg Larsson’s trilogy has been on my “childhood” must-read list since forever! And I definitely need to try Circe. Funny that you mention Winter. Here in Canada, no one would ever pick it as their favourite hahah but I do love being in warm clothing during snowstorms and what not though! 😛 Great answers, Darina!

Oh, I can imagine that winter in Canada must be tough and probably also quite boring after a while! You should definitely read Stieg Larsson’s trilogy, I like to think of it as a masterpiece. Thanks!
