Chocolate Book Tag

        I was tagged by Evie at A Period Drama Fangirl with the Chocolate Book Tag! So fun! I love tags, and it being about books increases the awesomeness about one hundredfold. So, lets get started! There weren't any rules, so I'm going to guess that we simply have to link back to the person who tagged us, fill out the tag, and then tag people ourselves.

Dark Chocolate (a book that covers a dark topic): Quo Vadis. I think I've mentioned this in every book-related post I've done on this blog, but I don't plan to stop. This book follows the persecution of the early church (hence the dark topic), and has everything that constitutes good novel. It's really thick, too, which is a plus.

White Chocolate (a light and humorous read): The Scarlet Pimpernel. Now I wouldn't say this is altogether a light read, but definitely humorous and recommendable.



Milk Chocolate (a book with a lot of hype that you're dying to read): Only A Novel by Miss Amy Dashwood of Yet Another Period Drama Blog. I hope to get this and read this before the year is out!

Caramel-filled Chocolate (a book that makes you feel all gooey inside): This one was hard - it for some reason is much easier to think of movies that make me feel this way than books. I'm going with Anne of Avonlea because it's my favorite book in the series and the one where Anne and Gil realize their feelings for each other *happy sigh*.



Wafer-less Kit-Kat (a book that surprised you): The Chosen. It's about two Jewish boys from different sects who form an unlikely friendship after hating each other passionately. It's very well written - and makes you feel happy and sad and frustrated and every other emotion at the same time.

Snickers (a book you're going nuts about): Sherlock Holmes! I'm reading the Hound of the Baskervilles again for the read-along, and loving it even for than the previous times I've read it!

Hot Chocolate with Mini Marshmallows (a book you turn to for comfort): I always turn to the Bible when I'm in a tough situation, but since that's a given and I wouldn't really classify it as 'hot chocolate with mini marshmallows', I'm going to pick another one. In other words, I'm cheating. Soary. ;) A Lantern In Her Hand by Bess Streeter Aldrich. I LOVE this book. It's perfect.

A Box of Chocolates (a series you feel has something for everyone): The Lord of the Rings! Duh! But it's not actually a series, just a really long book that was split up and published at three different times. I'm not going to say anything more about this because otherwise we'll be here all day.

  1. I LOVE A Lantern In Her Hand!!!! (Well, obviously. ;-P) One of my favorite books EVER, and that's really a weighty statement. Oh my goodness. I just love it so much. I want to be just like Abbie Deal when I grow up. Or right now, actually.

    1. Yes! And Will... *swoon* That book is amazing - as is the sequel (although that I suppose is not *quite* as good). I was so upset when he died, though; it was so unexpected and sad! I want to name one of my future children Will because of that book. :)
