Book Tag: My life in books
4 January 2025 
This is a book tag that I’ve seen a few times over the past few years and really like. I’m not sure who created this (possibly from Adam at Roof Beam Reader), but there have been a few changes along the way and in fact I made one quick change to one of the prompts.
The only rules here are to use books to complete the prompts using titles that you read during 2024. I always enjoy the opportunity to talk about the books I’ve read so this is a great opportunity. I’ve tried to complete all the prompts using titles that hopefully have a slightly amusing slant (but, ahem, who knows).
Here’s my life in books 2024
Motto I live by: The Redemption of Morgan Bright by Chris Panatier
On my bucket list is: The Moonlight Market by Joanne Harris
A happy day includes: A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike
When I’m in a murderous mood, I need: The Hungry Dark by Jen Williams
People might be surprised by: The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso
I wish I had: The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden
I will never be: The Puppet Master by Sam Holland
I hate: The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks (haha – I don’t hate it – but I had to use something for this one)
At a party you’d find me with: The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
I’ve never been to: Murder Road by Simone St James
The best travelling companion would be: The CInderwich by Cherie Priest
If I ran a fantasy tavern it would be called: The Silverblood Promise by James Logan
Favourite time of the day: The Voyage Home by Pat Barker
My fantasy job is: Magic by Sarah Pinborough
At the end of a long day I need: The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
The title of my memoir would be: The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
In my next life, I want to be: The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door by HG Parry
My theme song for 2024 is: Smile and Be A Villain by Yves Donlon
That’s my 2024 in books. How does yours look? If you fancy having a try then tag yourself – and let me know in the comments so I can pay you a visit and check out your answers.

This tag is so much fun!! The Silverblood Promise would be a great name for a tavern and at the end of a long day The Spellshop sounds like bliss!! 🥰
Yes, I really like this tag – I think you’d have a blast with it because you’d have such a lot of books to choose from.
Lynn 😀
I may try it, once I finish with all the posts withe the recap for 2024 and the goals for 2025. I am soooo behind with all of those, sigh!
This is a fun tag, I may throw one together. My favorite answer is “the title of my memoir” lol.
I know – that’s the perfect answer for that prompt.
Lynn 😀
awesome, I love the last one, lol.
Here is mine, with variations:

I saw yours already and loved it – I must try to copy your prompts next year.
Lynn 😀
I wish I could find enough books to have answers for each of these, it looks like fun.
I really like your choice for theme song of 2024 😀
It was a funny book so I was pleased to have a chance to include it here.

Ooh fun tag, I’ve never seen it before. Your answer for ‘I’ve never been to’ made me laugh as with what I’ve seen said about that book I’d hope not 😂 The Tainted Cup & The Silverblood Promise are must reads for me this year. Favourite time of the day and memoir title also made me laugh.
This is a fun tag and there are a couple of different versions around that I’ve also seen. I enjoyed picking the books to fit the prompts. Some of them just naturally work really well.
