The chocolate book tag


I found this tag browsing on Tumblr a while ago, and while many seem to have done it, I can’t seem to find the original. But kudos to whoever made it because who doesn’t love books and chocolate?

Dark Chocolate: (A book that covers a dark topic ([abuse, domestic violence, rape, loneliness, bullying, death, etc])
Easy by Tammara Webber. This book deals with attempted rape at college and how people are discouraged from reporting it by the authorities who ought to help them. If you are interested in the topic you can also watch the documentary “The Hunting Ground”. It should still be on Netflix. 
White Chocolate: (Your favorite lighthearted/humorous read)
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice. This book still deals with some heavy topics but there is just this feeling about it that I really enjoy. Set in 1950s England it deals with family, friendship and love. 
Milk Chocolate: (A book that has a lot of hype that you’re dying to read)
I try not to get swallowed up in all the hype, but I am looking forward to reading Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. Everyone seems to love it.
Chocolate with a Caramel Center: (Name a book that made you feel all gooey in the middle while you were reading it)
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen can still give me the tingles, even though I have read it so many times.  
Wafer-free Kit-Kat: (Name a book that surprised you lately)
Probably A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab, which I am reading right now. There was so much hype about it that I fully expected to not like it, but I love it (so far)! 
Snickers: (A book that you are going nuts about)
Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin, simply because I ordered it a long time ago, but for some reason it will take forever to get here!!
Hot Chocolate with Cream and Marshmallows: (What book would you turn to for a comfort read?)
Pretty much anything by Jane Austen or the Harry Potter series
Box of chocolates: (What series have you read that you feel has a wide variety and a little something for everyone)

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. There’s magic, friendship, sports, the battle between good and evil and teenage angst and love.

1000 Places to See Before You Die 20 - Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Image
You cannot go to Athens and not go to the Acropolis. It is a staple on any sightseeing tour and is likely to be crawling with tourists at any given point in time. Still, it is definitely worth it to brave the masses and see the fortified citadel above the city of Athens for yourself.   The word acropolis means the highest point of the city, and there are a number of these acropoleis scattered throughout Greece, but the one in Athens is so well known that it is simply called “The Acropolis”.  There is evidence that the area on the rocky outcropping overlooking the city was inhabited already in the 4th millennium BC, but it was Pericles who started construction on the many famous buildings in the 5th century BC. These famous buildings include the Parthenon, probably the most iconic of the buildings, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. These buildings were all seriously damaged in 1687 AD when the Venetians had sieged the city and used th

Review: Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Image
This is the first book in a series, but I have no intention of continuing on with this series. The plot evolves around two young people, Amy and Elder. They live on a spaceship that has left Earth to find a new planet to populate. Amy was part of the cryogeniccaly frozen people on board, meant to be woken up upon arrival and using their skill set to populate the new planet. Elder, meanwhile, is part of the population that has been keeping the ship running whilst it travels towards its destination.  One day Amy is woken up from her frozen sleep and now she must learn to live on this spaceship, without her parents, slowly learning the culture and the secrets of this ship. It turns out there is an abundance of mysteries on board this ship, like who is waking up (and killing) the frozen people, who is the mysterious deceased Elder, what is the current Eldest up to and what’s with the “crazy” people and their medication.  Eventually all these mysteries are solved, but is

Reading the classics: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

The book The book first appeared in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890, and the year after it was released as a book in a revised edition. As I am working on this post, I discover that the book is not necessarily considered a classic….great choice for the kick-off post for the series then! However, in my experience, it does usually appear on “classics” lists, so I am going to count it! At the time of the first publication in 1890 it was considered immoral, by a lot of people, but Wilde took offense to that and defended his story. When it was published in book form though, he had changed some things and added a preface, that stated that books cannot be moral or immoral, only well written or badly written.  The author Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was Wilde’s full name, but he later changed it to Oscar Wilde because, as he said, the name was too long for someone who was going to be famous. He was born on October 16th 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. He went to Trinity Co
