Red Book Tag | Taylor Swift’s Birthday

Hello, my fellow Spirals!

So I actually saw this blog on Whispering Stories first and really loved it. Me being a fan of Taylor Swift since 2010 couldn’t have been more pumped about Red TV and now it’s her 32nd birthday!!! So without further ado let’s get into it!

1. Red – A Red book that you love with a burning passion

Ooh we start with a tough one. I think I’ll have to say Big Bang by Simon Singh. The main reason is because it is a non-fiction book about , well, the Big Bang. I don’t think a lot of people have read it and when I did it absolutely blew my mind away. I couldn’t shut up about the book or what I learnt and annoyed my parents (who had no interest in the topic) about it for weeks.

2. I Knew You Were Trouble – A book you knew would cause you emotional trauma

Going into any Kristin Hannah’s book means being mentally prepared for a total breakdown. For me it would be The Nightingale which was my first book by Kristin. I really really loved the book and sobbed my guts out at the end.

3. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together – A book you’ve cut ties with

The Hanging Garden by Ian Rankin. I literally just gave away this book last week because I really disliked the story. You can find my review for the book here.

4. I Almost Do – A book you know is trash, but you love it anyway

Quite a tough one for me actually…Oooh no wait, I know which one. I’ll pick After by Anna Todd for this. I know the book depicts a lot of masculine toxicity and the characters are so problematic. But when I read it on Wattpad years ago, I devoured it and enjoyed it so much.

5. All Too Well – A Book you remember everything about

My obvious pick should be Harry Potter or Percy Jacson but lemme go in a different direction and pick The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I recently re-read this book for the 3rd or 4th time and it still managed to destroy me in every possible way.

6. Begin Again – A book that got you out of a slump

I’ll pick The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. This book got me out of a 3-4 years reading slump. Even though it wasn’t some amazing or brilliant book, it was definitely fast paced and kept me hooked enough to stick with reading.

7. Everything has Changed – A book you knew you would love at the first sight

Circe by Madelline Miller. I mean the cover in itself is so gorgeous but the main reason I knew I would love this book is because I am a sucker for anything Greek Mythology.
