The Over 30 BOOK TAG!



I’m totally fine about being in my 30’s, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m constantly confused for still being a teenager or what it is but for a few months leading up to turning 30 I wasn’t ok with it.  


  • Name one of your favorite books that features a protagonist who is thirty years old or older.

My Best Friends Girl. Kamryn is celebrating her 32nd  birthday at the beginning of the book. And I’m going to be 32 on my next birthday. 


  • Name a book that represents who you were when you were younger.

It not a book, but anything by Jacqueline Wilson. Not because of anything in particular that happened in any of her books, but because I am of that age where she’s such a big part of who I was when I was younger.  




  • Name a book that represents where you are in your life now.

The Help. I think it’s a good representation of how as we grow up we change, and can keep changing our views on things. We don’t all have to think the same as our friends, 



  • Name a book that represents something that has never changed about you.

The Help.  I dislike racism and always have.  



  • Name one of your favourite classics.

The Great Gatsby.  It’s a book that I can read and not hate from the genre, which is quite rare for me. 


  • Name a book you like or would like to read that was published in the year you were born.

I didn’t realize just how bad 1989 was for books because just a quick search there is nothing I want to read that came out the year I was born.

Book Declutter

It’s been absolutely ages since I’ve done a massive book declutter where I’ve actually gotten rid of any books. When I went through the books it felt good getting rid of as many books as I have. Even though my book shelfs look sad. 





Why Did I Get The Book?

I have no idea why I got these books.  They’ve just been sitting on my shelves forever. 


Coldest Girl In Coldstown 

Everyone Worth Knowing (Lauren Wiesburger)

Chasing Harry Winston (Lauren Wiesburger)

Just Listen (Sarah Dessen)


Out Grew

We all have books on our shelves that we outgrow and I’ve gotten rid of a lot of them over the years. I just haven’t with these books yet. 


The LA Candy Series (Lauren Conrad! 

The Daughters Series

PS I Love You

A Place Called Here

If I Stay & Where She Went



One Read Was Enough

I’ve seen people rave about how good the books are, but in my opinion - and I know it’s unpopular - only one read was enough for these books 


The Girl On The Train

Me Before You 

The Notebook

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (Jenny Han) 


I Tried

With this selection of books, I found it really difficult to get into the books. I felt that they didn’t bring anything to my life and I felt 


Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

  • This book was hiding from me so much that I actually forgot I had it. I ended up giving to a friend

At First Sight

The Best Of Me

Jane Eyre 

Sense and Sensibility

Books I’ve Never Written A Review For



Most of these books I read either a long time ago for the first time, or just before I blogged about books.  


  • The Devil Wears Prada

I always feel bad that I haven’t done a review on the book, but it feels awkward when I start it now because I’ve read it so many times that I don’t think it’s going to feel genuine if I do review it.  


  • One Day

As much as I adore this book I’ve never written a review for it.  It wouldn’t feel genuine 


  • My Best Friends Girl

I did an overview of the book but never an actual review.  Again because  I’ve read it so many times it will feel like I’m just doing a review to have a post on my blog.  


  • Marshmallows For Breakfast 

Because I’ve read it so many times I think any review that I do of the book would again come off fake.  


  • Rules of Summer/Since Last Summer

I read this series before I ever blogged about books, and I always find it hard to blog about a book when I’ve already read it.  


  • LA Candy Series

Again I read this series before blogging, and it’s one of those series that I’ve outgrown and will never read again 


  • Looking For Alaska
  • The Fault in Our Stars
  • Just One Day

October 2020



Books Read: 4

Book Challenge Complete: 129% 




Harry Potter Books 1-3 (Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber Of Secrets & Prisoner of Azkaban)


Maggie Oliver: Survivors 





How I Felt This Month

This month I wanted to read books that I’ve read a million times before and that’s what I did with the Harry Potter books.  I’m way over my reading challenge goal of 24 books this year, and that feels good.  


I had a massive clear out back in September of books, and gave a lot away to my friend.  My bookshelf looks empty but so much better.
