After a few heat waves in a row this summer, ice cream has become a regular item in our freezer. So I thought it’d be fitting to bring the ice cream to the blog with the Ice Lolly Book Tag.
Original tag by Amy @ Golden Books Girl, Charlotte @ Charlotte, Somewhere, and Louise @ Book Murmuration
Mini Milk: short and sweet
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Probably the most wholesome book I’ve ever read
Magnum: best classic
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Cornetto: book with a surprise ending
Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb. The book is pretty slow paced, so I was surprised at all the excitement that was the ending
Rocket Ice Lolly: a book which looks more exciting from the outside
The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
Ben and Jerry’s – most versatile author
T. Kingfisher writes adventure, romance, fairy tales, horror, and children’s books. And I’ve liked everything I’ve read from her so far
FAB – weak ending
One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus. I was not crazy about the big reveal at the end of this one
Calippo – reader has to work to get the good stuff out
We Are Okay by Nina LaCour. A somber story about grief, this one’s a short, slow read
Rainbow Lollies – favorite lgbtqia+ fiction
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Probably not known for being lgbtqia+, but as someone who generally prefers stories that go lighter on the romance, I really liked the various relationships in this duology
Nobbly Bobbly – gritty subject, sweet message
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. The end of the world prevented through the power of friendship. Ok, not really, but a little bit
Boss Strawberry Double – book by an international author
The Library of the Dead by T.L. Huchu, a Zimbabwean author
Magnum Ice Cream Tubs – weird but good
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
Cruchie Blast – great spin-off/retelling
Romeo and/or Juliet by Ryan North. A classic re-done as a silly choose-your-own-adventure style story
Solero – light and fluffy
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Choc-ice – book you don’t want to admit you love
The Hunger Games by Suzanna Collins. I read this long after the YA dystopian craze had died down and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it
Fruit Lolly – left on the shelf
Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski. I’ve tried reading this multiple times and I finally put it down for good this year
Mint Choc Chip – love it or hate it
Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey. So many people with similar reading taste love this entire series, but I am not one of those people. I gave it a good try, but I DNFed the first book. I was glad to learn I was not alone in feeling the way I did about the writing
I hope you’re staying cool if it’s summer where you are too.
