Blue, you’re a wonderful human being! 

When I answered that first ask about bi protagonists I was half asleep and on my way to work, so I couldn’t put the time and effort into it that I wanted to. Blue’s created an amazing list (and giveaway!) of books with bisexual characters. 

I read quite a few of these, and they were fantastic. Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, for example, if my favourite book of 2017. Queens of Geek is the book I mentioned in the original ask, and is a very fun, heartfelt read! Nevernight is an absolutely amazing fantasy read, as is A Darker Shade of Magic. Noteworthy and Carry On are both a lot of fun as well. 

Go forth and read all the books featuring bi characters! 

Here’s the full list of books from @bluestockingbookworm: 

Hey beautiful! <3

One book I loved: A COURT OF MIST AND FURY. MY HEART.

One book I didn’t love: And I darken/It’s kind of a funny story - both disappointed me 

Thank youuuu! <3

So @lived-a-thousand-lives created a trying to revive booklr tag and I was tagged in it! So here we go

Which book are you reading right now?

I bought Empire of Storms by S J Maas so I decided to reread the series. This time around I have The Assassin’s Blade and I have started that. I have been in a reading slump off and on for a while though so I have not made too much progress!

What’s the best beverage when reading?

I love drinking coffee or hot tea while reading. Something about a mug just feels right.

What’s your favourite book quote?

“What she was finding also was how one book led to another, doors kept opening wherever she turned and the days weren’t long enough for the reading to do.”

                  -Alan Bennett

Are you looking forward to a certain book release? If yes, which one?

The first that comes to mind is Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman though there are many others.

What’s your Hogwarts house?

According to pottermore, I am Slytherin and Thunderbird. 

If you could get on a plane right now, where would you go? (And yes, fictional places are good as well. You could also travel via wardrobe/ train/ etc.)

Diagon Alley. I am now in a Harry Potter mood.

What’s your favourite holiday read?

Harry Potter! I’m due for a reread, anyone want to join me? :D

When do you put your Christmas decorations up? 

I live in the US so people start in on Christmas a bit too early for my taste here. I like to put my decorations up after Thanksgiving, so basically the end of November/December 1st.

Spell your name using book titles!

K- K-PAX by Gene Brewer;

A- Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll; 

L- Little Princess, A by Frances Hodgson Burnett (I only cheated a tiny bit); 

I- In The Afterlight by Alexandra Braken

Would you like Booklr to do something for Christmas/ New year?

Yes, that would be so fun! I think we should try to do something nice for each other since, I believe, it hasn’t been a great last half of the year for a lot of people. 

Are there any books you want to recommend to the rest of us? :)

>Ok guys if you haven’t read these, get on it:

Pirates! by Celia Rees

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Raven Cycle by Maggie Steifvater

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Braken

>and on and on so if you guys want recommendations, come talk to me!

So if tagged, answer the original questions and either add (or delete if you’d like) to the list of questions, then tag more people! 

I’m going to add the questions

1. What books do you want for the holidays?

2. What is your favorite nonfiction subject to read?

I’m tagging

It doesn't seem to be a large difference, but it is definitely there. Other popular languages like Tagalog or any of the Indigenous languages are impossible to get locally.

That’s so sad. I mean, it’d be amazing to have books available in all languages spoken there. It also stands to show that there are a lot of motivating factors that determine where someone gets their books and why.
