Last, Now, Next Book Tag!

March 30, 2023 • 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 •14 Comments

Hihi, my friends!

Today I’ll be doing the Last, Now, Next book tag, nominated by Amaya ages ago 😅

Thanks, Amaya! Sorry for taking forever to actually do the tag- 🥴

Now, without further ado, let’s get into the post!

Rules:

Link back to the ORIGINAL CREATOR-@Shivakshiiifyblogs.
Show gratitude to the person who tagged you.
Mention these points in your post.
Answer the following questions and use the original graphics and featured image.
Use the tag “Book Tag |LAST, NOW, NEXT|” in your post.
Tag as many bloggers as you want.
Have fun!

LAST

What was the last book you read?

I believe my last read was Stellarlune by Shannon Messenger! It’s the 9th book of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series!

Did this book meet your expectations?

I felt like this book was more of a filler–not a lot of major action happened. There were a few nice scenes, but overall it was mediocre. I’ve read better KOTLC books, for sure.

Will you recommend this book to others?

I feel like KOTLC fans would still like it, and it’s probably still needed to be read to make the rest of the story make sense, so it’s kind of a 50/50.

NOW

What is your current read?

Scythe by Neal Shusterman!

Why did you pick this book?

A friend recommended this book to me, and I thought I’d give it a try!

How much time do you think you’ll take to finish your current read?

Hmm… currently my reading speed is VERY unpredictable! 🤣 I feel like I might be able to finish it in… 2-3 days?

What genre would you like to read next?

YA romance perhaps? My latest library haul consists of mainly that genre… though I do have a few fantasy books too…

What would you like to pick: a long read or a short read?

I honestly wouldn’t mind! As long as I end up enjoying it in the end, anything would be worth it!

Mention some books you’re eyeing!

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
Looking for Alaska by John Green

Nominations:

I tag you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you…

…you, you, you, you, you, and you!

That’s it for now, I hope you enjoyed!! See you in the post!

Ciao~

Blooming — a poem

March 4, 2023March 2, 2023 • 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚊 •21 Comments

A closed green bud
Giving away to pale pink
Just at the tips
Opening
Opening
Inner petals
Begin to color
Outer petals
Deepen in shade
Opening 
Opening
Inner petals 
Widen
Outer petals
Unfurl their radiance
Bloom.
