Cake Flavoured Book Tag

There's been freezing rain today and all university classes are cancelled. I happen to have no homework, I've already baked and exercised, and basically I'm over the moon. And you know me, stealer of tags...

This one is from Books, Cameras and Succulents. I tag all readers to answer the questions in the comments. (Yes, you three, do it.)


Chocolate cake:  A dark book you absolutely love
I wouldn't say I love "dark" books, according to my definition of "dark." However, I've heard Charles Dickens' writing called dark, and it deals with very serious topics. So, I'll say A Tale of Two Cities.

Vanilla cake: A light read
Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank and Ernestine Gilbreth. It's not "light" as in poor quality (I have to qualify all my answers, haha), but a very easy read and great for a sick day.

Red Velvet: A book that gave you mixed emotions
The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery. I really couldn't decide if I liked it or not. (Any one read it? Thoughts?)


Cheesecake: A book you would recommend to anyone
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. (My mind is rather fixated on kids these-a-days since I have an 8-week-old NEPHEW and 3-year old NIECE and a desperate desire to be a mom.)
Also Pride and Prejudice. It doesn't have to be your favourite book but you should at least appreciate it.

Coffee cake: A book you started but did not finish
Death Comes to Pemberley by P. D. James. I have a great dislike of not finishing books once one starts, but I really couldn't get into this one.


Carrot cake: A book with great writing
What can I say? Lord of the Rings takes the cake. (I promise I didn't do that on purpose.)


Cup cake: A series with 4+ books
Harry Potter was the first thing that popped into my mind, but upon further thought I do like a fair amount of series. Little House, Anne of Green Gables (but really just the first four), Grandma's Attic, the Narnia Chronicles, etc.


Fruit cake: A book that wasn't what you anticipated
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. It looked very strange but I remember quite liking it.

New Recipe: A current read you didn't know much about
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. I know it has to do with the criminal justice system in the U.S. and racial injustice, but I'm not sure what the "plot" or thesis of the book is.

Bon appétit!
