The tag was originally created by Greg @anotherbibliophilereads
I saw this tag recently on Sandy’s channel @MsReadsAlot:
youtube.com/watch?v=8PK7rJ5r8wA
And of course, I forgot who tagged me...
The prompts:
A - Audiobooks
B - Bildungsroman. Dealing with a person's formative years or spiritual education.
C - Children's Books
D - Digital
E - Experimental
F - Fantasy
G - Graphic Novel
H - Horror
I - Inspirational
J - Journalism
K - Kitsch. Has a popular or sentimental appeal.

P - Poetry
Q - Quests. When the protagonist goes on a quest physical or spiritual.
R - Romance

V - Victorian. Literature from 1837 to 1901.
W - Western
X - X Rated
Y - Young Adult
Z - Zeitgeist. Spirit or mood of the times.
I forgot the X! And no, not Hot, mainly because I have yet to find an author who can write a sex scene that is not cringeworthy.
