Bouquins & Books | 2021 Recap and The Book Postscript Tag @bouquinsbooks | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Happy new year! I thought I would post this on December 31, but the Internet was too slow.
The Book Postscript Tag was created in 2018 by Adam, from Mementomori: youtu.be/yydtcQRDtMU
I mention Marilyn Maya Mendoza’s video:
youtu.be/moLvwVpJeTg
and Kim’s video, at Middle of the book March: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XEEDmwwNFNk
Prompts:
1. The longest book you read this year and the book that took you the longest to finish.
2. A book you read this year that was outside of your comfort zone.
3. How many books did you re-read?
4. Favourite re-read of this year.
5. A book you read for the first time that you look forward to re-reading in the future.
6. Favourite single short story or novella that you read this year.
7. Mass Appeal: A book you liked and would recommend to a wide variety of readers.
8. Specialized Appeal: A book you liked but would be hesitant to recommend to just anyone.
9. Reflect on your year as a bookish content creator (goals met, good/bad memories, favourite videos you made, etc).
Prompts I added:
The most serendipitous find
The book that took me the most far away from home
The worst book of the year
The most useless but fun fact that I learned from a book
Books mentioned:
Black Wave; Kim Ghattas
Musashi; Eiji Yoshikawa
The Way We Live Now; Anthony Trollope
Our Bodies, Their Battlefield; Christina Lamb
The Best Poems of the English Language; selected by Harold Bloom
The Ladies' Paradise; Emile Zola
The Anger of Achilles, Homer's Iliad translated by Robert Graves
The Big Lie; Kurt Eichenwald

Cleopatra; Stacy Schiff
The End of Everything, Astrophysically Speaking; Katie Mack
