I was tagged (or will be tagged?) by Patricia @ Bookish Geek. I actually kind of hate book tags because my brain immediately forgets every book I’ve ever read, haha. Whelp, without further ado, here we go!
Here’s what to do:
- Mention the creator of the tag, Bookish Coffee Blog
- If you were tagged, mention who tagged you!
- Answer the questions *duh*
- Have fun!
- Bonus: watch the movie while you answer the questions!

I just … want to sit and read everything you tell me to read. Is that friendship? Also, we need to read Howl’s together.

I put Howl’s Moving Castle on my Christmas list. (Yes, I’m already thinking about Christmas.) I feel like I’ve been hearing about that book for my entire life. I want to know why people love it so much.
