Today’s Topic: Wine Book Tag
Found At: Zezee With Books
Box Wine: a book that people will judge you for liking but you like it anyway!
I honestly can’t think of any!
Organic Wine: a book that doesn’t have any added crap in it and is just written perfectly.
I feel like this novel represents culture shock and what it means to be immigrant in America. It discusses experiencing a life in a place that is so different from where you were raised and trying to learn to assimilate but also not lose your cultural identity. I’m very picky about reading literary fiction in general, but this one really appealed in the way it was written and the topics explored. This is a novel that I would highly recommend any other reader.
Gluehwein: a really spicy, wintry read.
Hard Knocks is a story of a love that blooms between a neurologist and a hockey player who are brought to together over a public debate. Though the they hit things off immediately with an “attraction at first sight” scenario Lang takes time to backtrack and work on the complexities of their relationship. It’s a Winter themed romance that is definitely spicy at times.
Sauvignon Blanc: a really sharp and aggressive read that you couldn’t put down!
This is Major is a book full of essays about the author’s experience as a Black woman and her thoughts on Black women in the media, pop culture, legacy, and so much more. There’s a lot to unpack in this collection of thoughts, but I enjoyed it thoroughly from beginning to end. There are so many important narratives, awareness about many issues are brought to light, there are fun musings on life’s experiences, and an overall deeper conversation about race.
Pinot Noir: a book you didn’t expect much from but ended up getting blown away!
I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into the novel, but was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Doris is a well-written fleshed out leading lady with snark and witty banter that rivals many of her encounters in the novel. I was surprised at how much I laughed throughout the book. I feel like that is the definite strength of McKenzie’s writing of how she is able to balance humor with serious topics throughout the novel.
Chardonnay: a good summer read that was super-zesty?
This fake dating trope romance novel was incredibly sweet and at times a little steamy too!! Starre does a fantastic job of crafting a “seemingly” whirlwind romance set among lush landscapes of sandy beaches where readers can relax and feel as if they’re on vacation too. Though it was a fast read, I enjoyed the novel so much and look forward to reading the other novels in the Flights and Feelings series.
Rosé: a book that has a little bit of everything in it.
This story had such a unique concept as for years readers have read stories about being whisked off to fantasy worlds like Narnia, but no one ever talks about what happens after they return. This novel explores what happens to these children afterward and what effects they might have depending on where they have traveled to. The boarding school itself seems like such a serene place and is full of many people. There are talks of doors, rainbows, and nonsense vs logic in the story that make this short novel an engrossing read.
Shiraz: a full-bodied book that is dark and juicy.
You’ve got a wandering traveler, magical creatures, witches, and danger around every corner. All of this adds up to one exciting adventure. I really enjoyed the world building and how each new character villain that is introduced is so intriguing and their own lore. I was in complete awe of the artwork and the immense detail in each panel. It definitely helps to immerse you into the story and make fantasy became real. It’s creepy, entertaining, and has an heightened sense of adventure.
Merlot: a smooth easy read with a soft finish.
This novel reads equally like YA Fantasy fiction and a cozy mystery. It’s action-packed, filled with fun fantasy elements, lots of tongue-in-cheek humor, and characters that you can root for. The story is told through Mona’s eyes as she tries to unravel the mystery as well as keep a low profile to keep her loved ones safe. The novel is immersive and allows the reader to get immersed in the story. It’s a world full of wizards of varying skills, an historical setting, and all the coziness a fresh baked good brings.
Champagne: your favorite book.
One of my favorite reads for 2026 so far! Recipe of Joy, is a story about healing from grief and forgiving mistakes from the past. It shows us all the messiness of emotions that are raw and unfiltered and shows readers the way you can slowly pick up the pieces and move forward.
