“They say it’s your birthday…” da da da da da da dun
Today is the day of my birth. We will leave age out of this: unless you tell me I am 27 again, than cool.
Danielle @ The Introverted Book Nerd blog celebrated her birthday yesterday – happy birthday! – with a birthday book tag (check it out here), so I am joining in: us Sagittarians need to stick together. 😉
Here goes:
Count your Birthday along your bookshelf and then subtract your birth month:
11 – 12 gives me a negative number! So I am showing the last book I have on my shelf.
Two Turns from Zero by Stacey Griffith, Senior Master SoulCycle instructor.
I received the book at a WeWork event Stacey was speaking at. I haven’t read it yet, but its on my 2018 TBR list. My love for SoulCycle is just as strong as diving into a really good book. I need both in my life.
If you could spend your birthday with any fictional character who would it be and why?
Peter Pan.
I want to go to Neverland and not have to be a grown up. I probably feel this more each birthday, so this question is fitting for today.
Find a book that takes place in the season you were born in:
“Technically I was born in the Fall since Winter doesn’t start til after my birthday, but to be honest, I always have snow on my birthday where I live so I’m going to say I was born in Winter.” was Danielle’s answer, and I completely agree.
When I was a child more likely than not my birthday parties were cancelled because of some stupid snowstorm! (I am apparently still bitter about this.)
Back to the question, my answer is:
A Family Affair: Winter (Truth in Lies #6) by Mary Campisi
It was super easy to pick as Winter was right there in the title. (phew, I was thinking how was I supposed to remember actual seasons in the books I have already read and with my limited attention span well…I probably don’t have to answer that)
Find a book that is the color of your birthstone:
Turquoise.
Falling Together by Marisa de los Santos.
Turquoise is a cool color. It reminds me of Summer, which reminds me of sunny days, which now reminds me of vacation and pina coladas…can you tell it snowed here yesterday?
Pick a book set in a time period, world, or country you would like to have been born in:
P.S. from Paris by Marc Levy, because Paris sounds so romantic.
I need to schedule a visit to Paris…after my vacation at a beach with pina coladas.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to reading yours on your birthday too: make sure you link back to me so I can see your answers.
Happy Monday!
Happy birthday!! Woohoo! Hope you have a terrific day and I hope it doesn’t snow too much so you are able to get out an enjoy! Peter Pan was an excellent answer!! Paris sounds so wonderful! I’d love to go there someday.
