February BookHaul

Britta Böhler 2024-02-10 | Let’s chat about the books I've bought recently. And yes, I know, this video went up on Saturday, instead of Sunday, the day I normally post. The reason is simple: I scheduled the video and I can't read a calendar... Also: it turns out 'Stolen' is not a dystopian, no clue what gave me that idea.

Hot or Not?

Britta Böhler 2023-11-29 | I did another tag! The A-Z Hot or Not - Tag

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.
L - Library
M - Mystery
N - Non-Fiction
O - Omnibus
P - Poetry
Q - Quests. When the protagonist goes on a quest physical or spiritual.
R - Romance
S - Science Fiction
T - Translation. Books translated from one language into another.
U - Übermensch. The superman or the extraordinary human. Characters who can everything.
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.

2. Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?
3. Is there a new release you're still waiting for?
4. What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?
5. Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year?
