Tag Week: Milk Tea Book Tag

Hey all! I was tagged for this by the lovely Shar from Weaving Waves Words. At first, I wasn’t sure if I would do this one because I didn’t know if I could come up with a book for each category. But I did! And I’m super glad because this tag looks like a ton of fun. So let’s dive right into it.

I randomly noticed that there are no rules for this tag. I LOVE IT ALREADY.

Tea: The Foundation Of Your Reading Life

sourceI haven’t even finished Avatar yet, but I officially think of Uncle Iroh everytime someone says “tea” now.

The first books I really remember choosing to read are the original American Girl series (think Kirstin, Addy, Samantha, that group) and the Dear America books. But the ones that really got me hooked on reading were the Nancy Drews.

I haven’t read every Nancy Drew book in existence, but I have read quite a few from each series: the graphic novels, the original series, the Nancy Drew files, The Clue Crew, the Notebooks, everything. When I truly became a bona-fide, go-hard bookworm, I read every Nancy Drew book I could get my hands on.

Milk: A Rich Smooth Book

I debated this one for a while because, honestly, I had no idea what was meant by “a rich smooth book.” So I scanned through my Goodreads for a book that seemed like it would match the category and I found this:

I’m not really sure how to explain my choice, but I feel like the beauty of this romance and the gorgeousness of the character development matches the criteria, so I’m just gonna roll with it.

Sugar: A Book You Love But Is Controversial

Why is sugar controversial? WHO HAS ANYTHING AGAINST SUGAR?????

Apparently, enough people for this to be a part of the tag. So. I will answer the question now.

The Tiger Saga isn’t exactly what I’d call controversial, but from what I’ve seen on Goodreads, it’s one of those series where people seem to either love it or hate it. And I love it (have I mentioned that before?). So, yeah.

Ice: A Book Just For Fun.

Or actually anything by Mo Willems

I realize this is probably not the answer most people expected (or even similar to the ones most people gave), but I have younger siblings, so Mr. Willems was the first author who came to mind.

And honestly, I’m 17, and I’d still recommend these. So that just tells how fun his books are.

Silk Stocking: a book that’s much better than it sounds.

I feel like if I try to explain this plot it comes off as really, really weird. Kinda like this:

BUT THE STORY IS AMAZING AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ADORABLE AND I JUST FINISHED THE ANIME SERIES AND OH MY GOODNESS I HAVE FEELINGS IT IS TOO GORGEOUS.

Yinyang: a book with foreign influence

For a while there, I thought I was going to have go with The Heroes of Olympus series. Apparently, I read a lot of American books. Either that or I’m just not good at seeing the foreign symbolism.

Luckily though, I remembered this one just in time.

I almost fit this one in the Milk category (and it probably could’ve made Silk Stocking too), but I think it fits best here. West of the Moon takes place in Norway around the 18th or 19th century, I believe, and it features a lot of their older tales and mythology, while still telling the historical tale of two young girls separated from their father. It’s an amazing read all-around, but one of my favorite parts is how well the author shows the setting of the countrysides and mountains. It’s absolutely breathtaking. <3

And that’s the tag! This is definitely one of my favorite tags ever, so I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. :D Also, because this is a tag and not an award, I am once again being lazy and not tagging anyone. So if you wanna do it, have at it! Just leave a link below so I can visit your post. :)

Have you read any of these books? Any matches for the prompts off the top of your head? What’s your favorite tea? (mine’s Irish Breakfast. Soooo good.) Comment me!
