Life According to Literature Tag, Cymplified!

March 4, 2020 by ceemee

I stumbled upon this meme first from ANZ LitLovers LitBlog and then I hopped over to Brona’s Books. It’s called “Life According to Literature Tag”.

It’s been a while since I saw these kinds of blog memes: answering questions and then tagging other bloggers when done. Have you done anything like it?

Life According to Literature

The Rules: Using only books you have read during the year (2019), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title.

  • Describe yourself: The Girl Who Drank The Moon by Kelly Barnhill
  • How do you feel: Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty
  • Describe where you currently live: Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder
  • If you could go anywhere, where would you go: Into the Woods by Lyn Gardner
  • Your favorite form of transportation: Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult
  • Your best friend is: The Star Thief by Lindsey Becker
  • You and your friends are: The Magic Misfits by Neil Patrick Harris
  • What’s the weather like: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
  • You fear: Holes by Louis Sachar
  • What is the best advice you have to give: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
  • Thought for the day: Going Up?: Making Right Choices at Work by Yay Padua-Olmedo
  • How would I like to die: The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies
  • My soul’s present condition: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

These answers are just some of the titles I read last year. The full list is found on my Goodreads year 2019 in books. You can also see my reviews there. In addition, I will also post photos of some of the books I read in the said year. When I remembered to snap them, that is.

In addition, I posted about two of the books entitled

  • The Gift of an Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison and
  • The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows here on Cymplified.

My Rambling Essay About Books

It always excites me to browse books in book shops. Recently, I also buy second hand books from Biblio. They are still in good condition. Even with folded covers. Besides, I usually read books once; thus, purchasing discounted books is sensible.

Speaking of discounted books, I found this book pictured below in Powerbooks during the sale. I’ll tell you a secret: I do judge books by their covers. And this cover is nice! Unless, Goodreads readers or someone I know recommended it. Could be from a popular book club. Or I received it as a gift.

On one rare occasion, I bought books from Book Depository, since I didn’t see some titles in book stores here.

I read a book by Tom Hanks since he seems like a cool guy. Whenever I see one glove (not a pair!) on the road, I think of him. You’ll know if you followed him on Facebook. šŸ˜‰ I heard Tom Hanks’s voice in my head while I read Uncommon Type.

I read my children’s books. Like The Heroes of Olympus series and this book, a gift from my aunt for my kids.

My Book, My Companion

I like to bring a book with me when I go out. Or when having my me-time or a doctor’s visit. One won’t know how long a wait is going to be. A book is also one of the best companions I could have. It entertains me with a story. I’m a book-toting mama! I read while waiting to fetch the children. šŸ“š

A book indeed is great with coffee!

Going on a trip? Traveling? I’d remember to include a book or two in the suitcase. On the 10+ hour flight and in long car rides last year, I read until I got dizzy or sleepy. Whichever came first.

By the way, this sausage & bacon flatbread from Starbucks is one of my favorite food offerings.

I bought this book The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand months ago but only started it in December because of its Christmas Carol-esque theme. The book cover attracted me to it.

So, those are the books I remembered to take photos of. I actually reached my goal of 40 books in 2019. This year, my goal is 45 books.

Do you like reading books? Do you have a reading goal?
