Rules:

• Thank the person who tagged you and link back to their post.  (Thank you, dear Samantha of Bookshire!)
• Link to the creator’s blog in your post.
• Answer the questions below.
• Tag 10 others to take part.  (Oh boy!  I'm afraid I don't have 10 Blogger friends, *sniff*.)

A book that a certain friend is always telling you to read

Well, she's not always telling me to read the book, but she has recommended the movie multiple times and I did watch it, so we'll say, Under the Greenwood Tree.

A book that’s been on your TBR forever and yet you still haven’t picked it up

What book hasn't been on my TBR list for forever?!  There are regrettably so many!  I'll mention one here that is very popular in the traditional Catholic circles, and that is Saint Magnus: The Last Viking.  I shelved this book as TBR on Goodreads in 2018. 

A book in a series you’ve started, but haven’t gotten 'round to finishing yet

Dies a death of shame.  I call myself an Anne fan.  I regret to say I have not actually finished the series.  I only need to read Rainbow Valley and Rilla, but still!!  Shame! 🙈

A classic you’ve always liked the sound of, but never actually read

I know, I know!  More shame.  And I've watched the adaptations, too!  😭  I do love the story and want to read this so badly.  Maybe this summer?  Seems like a fitting read?

A popular book that it seems everyone but you has read

Are we speaking of the "popular through the ages" kind of book or "trending now"?  Let's go with The Blue Castle because that is both a classic as well as still generally popular.  26 of my Goodreads friends have shelved it and it has a 4.3 star rating.  I almost did a read-along with The Maidens of Green Gables, but my life schedule didn't allow for it at the time.  Maybe there will be another chance some day. 

A book that inspired a film/TV adaptation that you really love, but you just haven’t read it yet

Sense and Sensibility could also count for this one, but let's go with North and South.  Now this title is a chunky read so you'll pardon my negligence, yes?  Thank you.  Someday, if I get married and have oodles of spare time around my own House of Dreams, I may cozy up with this one.  For now, I will enjoy the mini-series. 😊

A book you see all over Instagram but haven’t picked up yet

Ok, I'm not exactly on Bookstagram.  I'm more a part of Knitstagram, or the Teachergram. 😂  Still, I would say The Enchanted Sonata.  That's a Bookstagram book, right?  I've also thought of reading Romanov which has a similar looking cover (it makes me think they're part of the same series, but I haven't found a connection), but I'm on the fence about that one.  It's currently not on my TBR list because of the magic aspect.  If you've read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts below!

Well, that was fun!!  It was so great to complete a tag again.  This one has been in my drafts since 2022.  It was also very humbling as I should have read many of these titles already, I know.  Do you have any recommendations of other titles I can add to my TBR?  Have you read any of these titles?  Which ones are also sitting in your TBR list?  I want to know so please comment below!

Thanks so much for reading along!  If you've made it this far, tag you're it!!  If you complete this on your blog, link your post in the comments below.
