Stay at home book tag

Laying in Bed - book you could/have read in a day

Any book with less than 300 pages
The last ones I read in a day were the Brides of Noelle series - paperback romance novels. Not really something I'd recommend, but OK. I read 2-3 a day.
Before that it was The Mary Frances books by Jane Eayre Fryer. I read all four in a day, but they aren't very big either. :-D
I think Agatha Christie's books are in a day reads that I do recommend.

Snacking - guilty pleasure book

The Adventures of Lady Harpur.
Porn written in 1885, it starts with a father raping his 10 years old daughter, but it's not rape because sex is fun and she really enjoys it! X[
And the story continues with women being raped right and left, and more pedophilia, incest, and other issues like that, so I feel really guilty about it, but I keep going back to it, because I like erotica, and there are bits that turn me on, so - guilty pleasure.
I could mention the paperback romance novels, but I don't think there's anything to feel guilty about in those - might not be "high culture" and "worthy literature" and other such things, but, who cares? I hate Corrections and The Goldfinch, which were showered with accolades, which just makes me hate them even more. I seriously can't imagine ANYONE actually ENJOYING reading either of those books.

Netflix - series you want to start

I don't quite understand the question...
Is there a tv series I want to see? The Witcher, I suppose
Do I want to create/write a tv series? Yes. Like Friends or How I Met Your Mother.
Is there a book series I want to start? A lot of them. The latest is John Bellairs' Lewis Barnavelt series.

Deep Clean - been on your TBR for ages

Terry Pratchett's Johnny -books
Paolini's dragon books. I've only read the first two. I think.
Ken Follett's World Without an End

Animal Crossing - book u recently bought because of hype

Oh... The Lies of Locke Lamora is one of the books I recently read - or tried to read - because of the hype. It was OK, just not my type.
Starless Sea I read because of the hype and I was very glad for that, because that's one of the best books I've ever read.
Red Queen. That was bad.

Productivity - book you learnt or had an impact on you

I think reading Charlie Chan and White Fragility at the same time was an experience. Then came the murder of George Floyd and BLM, and this:


Facetime - A book you were gifted

Health Revolution - it's not fiction, it's about the food we eat and the lifestyle we live and how it effects our wellbeing - duh :-D

Self Care - what is one thing you have done recently to look after yourself

See above :-D I'm eating anti-inflammatory food and losing weight to make it easier for my joints to function :-D

BONUS - name a book coming out soon

The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton sounds like an interesting book. Coming about 6th of October. ARCs were sent around in May.
