It’s Thursday which is always a good day to do a book tag. I saw this tag on Becky’s Book Blog but it apparently began on Instagram before Becky adapted it for her blog post. It’s a really simple fun tag so let’s get started.
The last book I bought
I bought this two days ago in preparation for going on holiday next week. I love the world that Melissa Caruso has created in this series and her previous trilogy and I’m really looking forward to reading this latest instalment.
The last book I borrowed
I borrowed these books from the library on Monday, again in preparation for our holiday next week. I am so excited about going to Venice next week!
The last book I was gifted
The last time I received a book as a gift was at Christmas when I received this from my son.
The last book I gave to someone else
The last time I gave books to anyone else was also at Christmas. I gave A Little Hatred to my husband and Defy the Night to my daughter.
The last book I started
I’m really enjoying this tale of family secrets as an estranged brother and sister find out a lot more about their mother than they expected after her death.
The last book I finished
This was my last finished book which is a Net Galley ARC. Set in Aquitaine, France, Chief of Police Bruno is faced with a terrorist incident when a folk song becomes the subject of political uproar and the songwriter might the focus of an assassination attempt.
The last book I rated 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved this story of the aristocratic Count Rostov who is sentenced to house arrest at the Hotel Metropole. It’s quite a gentle slow moving story that details his life over the next 3 decades. At its heart, it’s the story of found family.
The last book I rated 2 stars ⭐⭐
This sounded brilliant but I was just bored with it. Apparently it’s a TV series and it seemed to have been written with that in mind rather than a novel to be read.
The last book I DNF’d
I couldn’t get on with this at all and when the snake started to contribute to the story it was time to give it up.
The last book I listened to
I don’t listen to audio books so I think the last book I listened to was the radio dramatisation of the Hobbit years ago.
This was a fun tag to do. Thank you Becky for creating this version.
What would your ‘last’ books be?

Venice was one of my most favorite places to visit! I sure hope you enjoy it. My sister was there 2 days ago, and they were filming a period movie for Netflix, and there were a bunch of actors in elaborate costumes milling about! Her pictures were amazing.
How fantastic!
Love this! And I’m so glad you took part. You’ve reminded me I really need to pick up The Quicksilver Court, I loved the first book and, for some reason, never carried on with the series 🤷🏼♀️. Great post 😊
It’s taken me ages to get round to buying it too😀
Glad I’m not the only one then 😂
Ooo…Venice! That’s a city that’s always intrigued me. Hope you have a fabulous vacation there ❤️
That turned out a great list Jannette. My last purchased book was The Rescuers by Margery Sharp; last listened to was Dr Wortle’s School by Anthony Trollope (I too, don’t really listen to audio books, though this wasn’t a bad experiment in itself).
Enjoy your Venice trip!
Thank you. We’ve been looking forward to it since 2019 and can’t quite believe that we’re actually going this year.
Glad to hear that Jannette; wishing you a great trip. I’m looking forward to next week too. While I’m not travelling, I begin a two week break from work!
Not being at work is always good. All that extra time to read😍
Sorry about spelling your name incorrectly. I’m awful at typing on the phone and make all sorts of mistakes
No worries. I knew you were talking to me. And don’t even mention typing on a phone. I cannot work out why I’m so bad at it still 😕
