St. Patrick's Day Book Tag

 

I found this fun St. Patrick's Day Book Tag on a Booktuber named Taylor's channel.  It doesn't look like she's still active but I loved this tag so much I just had to do it!

1.  Your Favorite Green Colored Book

The Curious Case of the Poisoned Professor by Lucy Connelly - Not my favorite of all time but it's the most recent green book I really enjoyed.

2.  Your Favorite St. Patrick's Day Themed Book

I couldn't come up with a single St. Patrick's Day themed book but Four Leaf Cleaver by Maddie Day is in a cozy mystery series I'm looking forward to reading and I do love the title pun.

3.  Corned Beef and Cabbage: A book that made you hungry

The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai - I actually couldn't eat a lot of what described because of a shellfish allergy but the food was so lovingly and wonderfully described that it made my mouth water.  

4.  Four Leaf Clover:  A book or item that was a rare good find

The Homefront Sleuths cozy mystery series by Anna Elliott and Charles Veley.  I'm not someone who can really binge a series because I find myself getting annoyed by the characters or the writing style or just losing interest in the story itself.  However, I listened to the bulk of this series back to back and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.  The characters were delightful and I really loved how they worked together.  The mysteries were interesting and the narrator did a great job.

5.  Irish Whiskey: A book so bad you need a drink to get over it

The Bachelorette Party by Camilla Sten - This wasn't terrible but it was a bit slow and a bit too gruesome for me so I frequently needed to read something lighter after I finished a chapter or two.

6.  Irish Dancing: A book so good it made you want to dance in excitement

When in Rome by Sarah Adams - I thoroughly enjoyed this one and looked forward to picking it up every time I had a moment to read.

7.  Ireland: A book that made you travel to a different country (armchair or real life)

The two big ones are Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery and all of Agatha Christie's books. They have put Prince Edward Island in Canada and a number of specific areas in England on my must visit list.

8.  The Pub: A meeting place in a book you'd love to go to.

Torte in the Bakeshop Mystery series by Ellie Alexander. Between the food, the coffee and the general feel of the place I would love to go visit.
