I saw this tag at Barb's blog http://bookertsfarm.blogspot.com/ so I thought I'd give it a go. It was created by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVrydXU4okw at YouTube. If you want to take part, consider yourself tagged and you don't need to have Netflix to do the tag, as I don't use it either!
1) Recently Watched-The Last Book You Finished Reading
At the time of writing this, the last book I'd finished was Fathomless, a deep sea thriller will conspiracy, good and bad Russians and a giant megalodon!
2) Top Picks-A book recommended to you based on a book you previously read.
Based on my recent review of Dream Woods, Karen at http://www.fwiwreviews.net/ told me about an 80's slasher plot set in an abandoned water park and I intend to grab this!
3) Recently Added-The Last Book You Bought
As I construct this, the last book I bought was Screams You Hear.
4) Popular on Netflix-Books Everyone Knows About (1 you've read and 1 you won't read).
I read The Murderbot Diaries, which I loved, but won't be reading Dread Nation. I had wanted to read it until friends reviewing it commented on the lack of zombie action and it lacking horror. I'm not a fan of reading about racism or horrible characters so with zombies lacking, I changed my mind on reading this one.
5) Comedies-A Funny Book.
I love the cartoon adventures of Beau Peep! Daft British humour at its finest!
6) Dramas-A Character Who Is A Drama Queen/King.
I DNF a lot of books with this kind of character but Luisa drove me mad in this one with her attention seeking stupidity and then her selfish behaviour.
7) Animated-A Book With Cartoons On The Cover.
I needed to showcase these gorgeous zombie covers!
8) Watch It Again-A Book Or Series You Want To Reread.
Pretty much my whole paperback collection? Here are three I really want to get back to!
9) Documentaries-A Non Fiction Book You'd Recommend To Everyone.
I've never recommended any one book to everyone but a wide range of people loved this.
10) Action And Adventure-An Action Packed Book.
I loved the non stop tension and drama in this one.
11) New Releases-A Book That Just Came Out Or Is Coming Out Soon That You Can't Wait To Read.
I love the cover for this book and I'm interested in the plot. Several advanced reviews say the book is much better than the blurb suggests so I'm sold!

Chuclkles I ADORE ADORE ADORE your background! Especially the Dia de los muertos image YAY is this just for Creeptober or you plan to keep it for good?
I love the title "Screams You Hear" and even though it was my most anticipated release of 2018 and the only book I have ever preorder in my life, for some reason I also lost interest in Dread Nation! I haven't read it yet!
Thanks! I've always liked the pic since I saw it on Pixabay and I think I'm going to keep it as my background for good. I love the colour and the horror vibe! I'm looking forward to Screams You Hear as it just sounds really good.
DeleteSorry I can't follow you back or comment on your blog as your user name is coming up on the blog as unknown with no link to a blog!
oh here is one of the comments I KNEW I had left! This has been driving me crazy for at least 30 minutes now! I always go back to read your replies to my old commits when I come to visit and I couldn't find them! I wonder why it was posted as "unknown" IT WAS ME CHUCKLES! DANIELA! :)
Delete*waves* That's weird that it came up as unknown! I thought it sounded a bit like you but couldn't think why it wasn't showing your details but I didn't want to ask if it was you in case it wasn't!
DeleteCool tag! I don’t have Netflix, but I have read some of these books. I read Into Thin Air in high school and should probably reread it. I don’t think I appreciated it at the time. The Hunger Games is another one that I want to reread eventually.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I have a ton I want to reread! Maybe I need a reread month the next time I hit a reading slump...good excuse to read some great books and kickstart me from gloom!
DeleteReally interesting tag, I like it. I do have Netflix and - surprise, surprise - my queue is mostly filled with documentaries.
ReplyDeleteIf I had added stuff like Netflix my book budget would have to be cut and I can't have that!
DeleteI enjoy the Murderbot Diaries and have Dread Nation but not sure when I'll read it.
ReplyDeleteI've had Netflix for years but have just recently started actually using it lol I basically gave myself a use it or lose it ultimatum.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
Love Murderbot! I can't wait to read the fourth one and see what the author does with the full novels! I've never been tempted by Netflix-the extra cost mainly but I also had a ton of dvds already waiting to get watched!
DeleteFun tag! I have Netflix but I don't watch it. My husband and daughter do though. I love re-reading books and have been through The Hunger Games at least twice (maybe more). I think that I read Into Thin Air a long time ago but I am not positive.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy slipping into the comfy world of a favourite book! It's like having a version of fluffy furry slippers for the eyeballs-soothing! Need to make time for that next year!
DeleteSo glad you did this. I have to make time to read Carnival of Fear in October!
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect to get it up as quick but all the answers came easier than I expected!
DeleteSuch a fun post. It sounds like a lot of work, but from the comment above, it sounds like this meme was created just for you. lol So many great books I'll be checking out.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
The questions turned out easy to answer-I like a book tag like that! I'm working on a couple more that are a bit harder!
DeleteI have read and seen The Hunger Games a while ago. I liked them both of course. I Loved IT and read that one in HS. OMG, that was so long ago. Definitely time for a re-read. I do have netflix but rarely get to watch it anymore. I do like this tag tho.
ReplyDeleteMary
It was a fun tag to do. I'd love to reread some of my old favourites. Maybe I need to let myself have a couple of rereads each month!
