TCL's Eight Candles Book Tag in Honor of Hanukkah

Happy Hanukkah/Chanukah/Hannukah! The first night starts tonight!

• First Candle – All Alone – A book you love, but one that no one else seems to know anything about. 

• Second Candle – Two of You – A book both you, and someone special to you, have both really enjoyed.  When we first started dating, I got my husband to read this :-)

• Third Candle – Trifecta – A book where there is either a love (or hate) triangle, or with three different points of view, or something else related to the number three.  There are three points of view in The Other Queen: the eponymous Mary, Queen of Scots; Bess of Hardwick; and Bess's husband, George Talbot, the Earl of Shrewsbury. The latter two are charged with holding the Queen of Scots under house imprisonment for Elizabeth I, but Mary may be trying to seduce the Earl to her side. 

• Fourth Candle – Foregone Conclusion – A book that you read that you knew you’d like or dislike before you began reading.  I already knew that I liked N. K. Jemisin, plus a friend whose reading tastes I usually agree with recommended it. 

• Fifth Candle – Five-Day Work Week – A book that you felt reading it was hard work, but you were glad you kept at it and finished reading it.  I enjoyed this one...it's been a while since I challenged myself this much. 

• Sixth Candle – The Extra Sense – A book that scared you, worried you, or that was edgy or spooky in some way (doesn’t have to be a paranormal book).  The madwoman in the attic never ceases to scare me!
  

• Seventh Candle – All Colors of the Rainbow – A book that just thinking about, makes you feel hopeful or happy, like seeing a rainbow after the rain. Alternatively, tell us about an LGBTQA+ book you like. (Which might be the same thing!)  David Lebovitz always makes me laugh!

• Eighth Candle – Complete Miracle – A book that made you say “WOW” when you’d finished reading it. 

This was a truly special, well-thought-out, and magical book.
