Hey, all, it’s Alexa! So, back in in July, I saw the captivating Cait @ Paper Fury do this tag from bookstagram, and I thought it looked delightful and delicious. Fast forward to this week, and I decided I wanted to do a tag post. So. Here we are.

1. Chocolate Cake (a dark book you absolutely love)

Yes, these are different series. :)

These are all so creepy. But the characters and writing are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever come across. It’s been at least 2 years (possibly closer to 3) since I’ve read any of them but I still remember them fondly (and frighteningly. But seriously they were good).

2. Vanilla Cake (a light read)

So I accidentally broke my unbreakable rule and read this book even though it wasn’t the first in its series (I didn’t realize until it was too late), but it was so cute and perfect and absolutely delectable that I completely did not mind. Bonus points for descriptions of ice cream that actually made me hungry. This book is wonderful, okay.

3. Red Velvet (a book that gave you mixed emotions)

I have to agree with Cait here: I’m mildly confused as to why red velvet is giving people mixed emotions. Like, it’s amazing, right? Why are we confused about this????

Anyways.

So I’ve talked about this book in the last three posts, because when I get obsessed with a topic nothing will stop me from spewing my thoughts EVERYWHERE until I have eventually run out of them (thoughts, that is). But anywho, this book gave me tons to think about, plus it had beautiful characters and scrumptious writing… but it also hurt me greatly and literally took me weeks to decide whether I liked it or not.

So, yeah. Even if red velvet cake shouldn’t, I think Heartlesscounts for the mixed emotions bit.

4. Cheesecake (a book you would recommend to anyone)

See, this is actually somewhat difficult for me. I’m very protective of my favorites (because—quite unfathomably—people don’t always like them :p), which means if I love something, I actually might not recommend it because I might suddenly discover a minor issue and then let fear hold me back from sharing. Sorry, not sorry?

But in all seriousness, I’m very aware of the fact that not everyone is going to like every book. There’s just no perfect story out there made to appeal perfectly to absolutely everyone. This is why authors have to pick their audience and ignore the rest.

But I digress. The closest I could find to answer this question was:

Despite my dissertation above, I seriously feel like it’s almost impossible not to find at least one thing to like about Septimus Heap. The series is so cute and the characters are so amazing and the writing is so funny and the plot so exciting… you’ve got to find something to love (I hope), even if you’re not a fan of all of it. So, yeah. Septimus Heap is the only thing I can think of that should be safe for just about everyone.

5. Coffee Cake (a book you started but didn’t finish)

OKAY, BUT WHY DOES COFFEE CAKE STAND FOR DNFING?

*clears throat and composes self*

I’ve DNFed quite a few, but if I DNF, I don’t review, so I don’t remember I read it. :p Anyways, I can think of more series that I have not finished, so I’m going to go with that instead.

These were actually really good, I just haven’t managed to get my hands on the last one (which is actually why I’m putting them in the tag, to remind myself to get on that. Haha, aren’t I clever. 😉 ).

6. Carrot Cake (a book with great writing)

And these are also different series, haha.

Absolutely marvelous, these. *squeezes books to chest* The writing is excellent.

7. Tiramisu (a book that left you wanting more)

So technically, the overarching plot of this story is completely over, but honestly? I would love to see books exploring the rebuilding stages of both the city and certain characters. Maybe what I really need is a fanfic squad... But anyways, I just love these books so much and I adore these characters and I want to see more of them.

8. Cupcakes (a series with 4+ books)

Cupcakes may not be the best descriptors for these, as they are all hulking tomes and basically whole cakes within themselves, but hey, I love them.

9. Fruit Cake (a book that wasn’t what you anticipated)

Instead of doing a book, I’m going to do a person in a book.

I don’t want to give spoilers, so suffice it to say there is a female character who did not turn out to be the person that I expected. Or more accurately, I had high hopes for her and she did something different, and well… yeah. The book was amazing, but this particular character made life difficult for the mains, and I had hoped she would change her ways. Aw, well. Perhaps in Wayfarer.

10. Lamington (favorite Australian book)

Guys, I am an uncultured American. I’ve never seen lamington in my life. Actually, I don’t even know what it is.

*checks google* *sees pictures of it*

Well, then. Clearly this has been missing from my entire life, and I am now going to move to Australia. Catch you later, America.

Haha, well, that was just as fun and delicious as it looked! :D Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
