So, technically the season for this should be way past, but I got snow last week and I also really want to do this tag, so we’re just rolling with that.

ZE RULES:

1. Give the person who tagged you a never-ending supply of cookies (or just thank them - either works). I wasn’t tagged, but I saw Faith do it back in November and it looked like fun. So thanks, Faith, for the doing this awesome tag, so I could steal it. 😉

2. Answer all the questions and use the blog graphic for this tag somewhere in your post. Blog graphic used and questions to be answered!

3. Pass along the tag to at least five other people. Not tagging anyone this time, so that you can all have the opportunity to steal like me. Because I’m a fantastic role model.

4. Wear a sweater (okay, this is optional...but why wouldn't you want to??). I’m actually wearing a cardigan right now. So SCORE!

Fuzzy Sweater (a book that is the epitome of comfort)

I feel like this is weird, but PJO and HOO are really comforting to me. I guess because they’re so familiar? I know exactly what I’m getting, it's everything I love to read, and I just adore the lot of it. Particularly Son of Neptune. I don’t know why, but when I thought of it, I just got this warm, giggly feeling, and... it just makes me happy, knowing they’re always gonna be there when I need them.

Me: *running home to them.*

Striped Sweater (a book which you devoured every line of)

I FINALLY HAVE THE THIRD BOOK IN THE SERIES. AFTER LIKE TWO YEARS OF WAITING (it hadn't come out, then library didn’t have it till very recently, and my book buying money went elsewhere). THESE BOOKS ARE EVEN BETTER THAN I REMEMBERED, JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND I’M SO GLAD TO REVISIT THIS WORLD.

*clears throat* Anyways, yes. The Golden Specific, and now The Crimson Skew, the third book, I have devoured every line of.

Cashmere Sweater (most expensive book you’ve bought)

I don’t buy books often because I am cheap. Normally, I either get books as gifts, review copies, in a giveaway (that’s actually happened a bunch of times), or from the library. HAHA. But I think mine is probably the same as Faith’s: Winter. Or perhaps The Fate of Ten. I’m honestly not sure how much I paid for either, but they’re thick, hardback, and were relatively new when I got them. So.

Hoodie (favorite classic book)

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. I rewatched the 2005 movie a couple months ago, and still remember ending it it completely, perfectly, and incandescently happy.

Cardigan (book that you bought on impulse)

We shall again return to the fact that I do not buy books, lol. However, I think Prophet by R.J. Larson was in a Bookbub email, either for free or just a couple of dollars, so I bought it on my kindle and it was INCREDIBLE. I recently had to purchase the sequel (oh, hey, there’s my book buying money), because I needed to know what would happen next!

Turtleneck Sweater (book from your childhood)

I will never forget this book! My mom used to read it to us all the time.

Homemade Knitted Sweater (book that was indie-published)

This series is lovely, and the characters, oh! Just amazing to follow their journeys! Plus, I got to edit the last one, so that makes the whole thing especially cool to me.

V-Neck Sweater (book that did not meet your expectations)

It was enjoyable, but not quite all I hoped for.

Argyle Sweater (a book with a unique format)

A book within a book... within a book? It was really cool, rather different, and I enjoyed it. :)

Polka-Dot Sweater (a book with well-rounded characters)

I am honestly thrilled to say that I can think of quite a few books that would adequately answer this question. For now, though, I’ll go with Crimson Bound. I read it towards the end of last year, and it’s honestly a new favorite because of LITERALLY EVERYTHING, but the characters in particular: they take the most incredible developmental journeys and the realizations and changes and lessons, they are all absolutely beautiful

Hope you enjoyed the post! How would you answer some of these? Like I said, I’m not tagging anyone but if you do happen to steal it before sweater weather is officially, completely over, leave me a link! I’d love to read your post!
