This fun tag comes from R's Loft and I thought, given it's November 18th as this is published, it's finally sweater weather. So this seemed like an appropriate choice for a fun-themed, bookish tag. Enjoy!

Fuzzy Sweater (A book that is the epitome of comfort):
I have a BL manga that I love very much that appears in multiple series: Secret XXX, Therapy Game, and Therapy Game: Restart. Written and illustrated by Meguru Hinohara, It's one of my tops and I love reading it. There are some serious themes in it, but overall it's very entertaining and a great comfort to me.
Striped Sweater (A book you devoured every line of):
Oh, aren't you just getting sick of me referring to this book all the time? Well, I love it. I read through it vey quickly and enjoyed myself immensely.
Ugly Christmas Sweater (A book with a weird cover):
I hate this cover. Sex faces are weird.
Cashmere Sweater (The most expensive book you've bought):
This was the most expensive purchase I have made that I can think of. I don't remember the exact price but it was way above my book budget. But it's special, so it was worth it.
Hoodie (Favorite classic book):
I have several but I think the one that wins out today is Jane Eyre.
Cardigan (A book you bought on impulse):
The Barnes & Noble special edition of The Thirteenth Child. Their book came with beautiful gilded sprayed edges! Plus, the book is a fairy tale retelling, so I was all aboard when I ordered it impulsively.
Turtleneck Sweater (A book from your childhood):
This book was a companion to the film Nutcracker: The Motion Picture that came out in 1986 starring the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Although I was three years old in '86, I know a few years later I would watch the movie for the first time. This book is something I also remember from childhood around that period.
Homemade Knit Sweater (A book that is indie published):
I've been meaning to read this book for a while. Kellen Graves is a great indie author (I know them through Prince of the Sorrows) and when I saw the cover to this, I knew I had to get it. I waited until it was $1.99 to snatch it up...now I just have to find the time to sink my teeth into it!
V-neck Sweater (A book that did not meet your expectations):
There was a recent YA horror anthology whose premise sounded really interesting, but ultimately fell flat for me. I only liked a couple of the stories from it, and I've been stuck on it for months. I think I may just go ahead and DNF.
Argyle Sweater (Book with unique format):
This book came out in 1999 I believe, and everyone wouldn't stop talking about it, so I picked it up. I can't remember anything about it except for the gazillion footnotes and then the random, "here is a drawing of a stapler."
Polka Dot Sweater (A book with well-rounded characters):
When I first read this surprising book, a lot of it didn't go the way I expected it would, especially in terms of characterization. If you think you know fairy tales, maybe revisit that though once you read Nettle & Bone. Anyway, all of the characters are memorable, and even the mysterious ones feel well-rounded; even ones who don't get the limelight as much! This is one of my top books, can you tell?
