Book Tag Saturday! I saw this over on Justine’s blog (Bookish Wisps) and since Beauty and the Beast is one of my top Disney movies ever, I couldn’t resist!
Rules:
- Thank the person who tagged you.
- Mention the creator → Kirsty @ Kirsty and the Cat Read.
- Match a book to each of the songs/characters below.
- Tag as many people as you like.
“Tale As Old As Time” – A popular theme, trope or setting you’ll never get bored of reading
Enemies to Lovers. I will never not love the hate and angst that turns into crazy passion between characters. I LIVE FOR IT.
Belle – A book you brought for its beautiful cover that’s just as beautiful inside too.
I LOVE watermelons and thought this cover was gorgeous and clever. And the book itself was the same way. It’s about a young girl struggling to understand her Mom with schizophrenia. The portrayal of mental health is poignant.

Beast – Book you didn’t expect much from but pleasantly surprised you.
I just finished this book a few days ago and it definitely was a pleasant surprise. I was afraid it might be on the shallow side, but the darker portions really brought out the deeper meanings of the story.
Gaston – A book that everyone loves that you don’t
While this isn’t my biggest unpopular opinion, it is one that I know may seem crazy. I didn’t hate this series, but I never felt totally connected to the plot and characters. I think the slower pace kept me from falling in love with them.
Lefou – A loyal sidekick you can’t help but love more than their counterpart
SEVRO! I love Sevro so much. He is one of my favorite sidekicks ever. I do love Darrow, don’t get me wrong, but I love everything Sevro says and does.
Mrs. Pott, Chip & Cogsworth – A book that helped you through a difficult time or that taught you something valuable
I think the reason I love this book so much (and the series) is that it helps me through difficult times every time I pick it up. It’s the first book I go to in a reading slump, when I am feeling really down and a hundred other reasons. Feyre’s emotions remind me often of my own dark places and how she finds her happy ending reminds me that I have one too.
“Something There” – A book or a series that you weren’t into at first but picked up towards the end
I read the first book in the series and liked it, but didn’t think about looking for the second book.
Fast forward a year or two and I saw the second book at the library, thought, “why not?,” and LOVED it. Then I was able to snag book three, The Winter of the Witch, from Netgalley and fell even harder.
This is now one of my all time favorite series. If you’re looking for a fantasy book, seriously, pick these up. They won’t let you down.
“Be Our Guest” – A fictional character you’d love to have over for dinner
Rhys, The Most Handsome High Lord. This needs no explanation. I know I’m not the only one that would want this.
Not tagging anyone, but feel free to do this!
