My Life in Books Tag

I’m on a roll, though you’re not aware of that since I’m publishing these posts over a number of days. But I’m glad for the free time so I can catch up.

I got a tag! I’m always happy for these. Tags are fun and sometimes even funny. For this one, I was tagged by Analee at Book Snacks way back in September and most recently by the Orang-utan Librarian on November 15. I have no idea why I think I need to give dates. Anyways, to the tag.

Find a book for each of your initials.

I’m going to use my blog initials, which is ZwB. I’m immediately frustrated because I haven’t yet catalogued all my books and it’s hell to find a book for Z. Do I even own a book with a Z?

I’m lazy so I’m relying on Goodreads for this part of the question instead of searching my shelves. According to Goodreads, I have no books that begin with Z. I’m pretty sure there’re none on my shelves because I like the letter Z and such a title would stand out in my mind. So I’m going with Jazz by Toni Morrison because it has two Z’s. So that’s:

Count your age along your book shelf. Which book is it?

Counting 27 books along my second shelf gives me —

Pick a book set in your city/state/country.

This is close enough:

Pick a book that represents a destination you would love to travel to.

This is an urban, supernatural novel set in New Orleans. I enjoyed reading it in high school.

Pick a book that’s your favourite colour.

This one has all my favorite colors — yellow, blue, purple.

Which book do you have the fondest memories of?

Hmm, a toughy. Probably The Neverending Story. I think it’s the first fantasy novel I ever read, or maybe that’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Hmm…I’ll use them both for this question.
