About Me is a feature on Lola’s Review where I talk about me. Usually these posts are everything that doesn’t fall under any standard header, like blog tours, book blitzes, cover reveals or review. About Me posts usually are about books, but are more personal discussions of a certain topic. If an About Me post is about a non-book topic it gets the non-book content posts tag and will be posted on a saturday
Dre from Sporadic Reads tagged me to do the Chocolate Book Tag. I’ve never heard about this tag before being tagged, but it sounds like fun. You can read Dre her Chocolate Book tag post here
Dark Chocolate
A book that covers a dark topic. (abuse, domestic violence, rape, loneliness, bullying, death etc)
My Pick:
Wild Justice (Nadia Stafford #3) by Kelley Armstrong. Actually all three books in this series deal with a dark topic, but in this book there’s the most focus on it and it’s the best book in this series in my opinion. The dark topic is handled well, but it’s also really heartbreaking when you learn the full impact of it.
White Chocolate
Your favourite light hearted/humorous read.
My Pick:
Losing It (Losing It #1) by Cora Carmack. I laughed out loud a few times when reading this book, this book is light hearted, but also deals with some heavier topics. And it’s humorous.
Milk Chocolate
A book that has a lot of hype that you’re dying to read.
My Pick:
The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden #1) by Julia Kagawa. A few months ago the last book in this series has been released and a lot of bloggers have been raving about this series. And yeah I still haven’t read the first book, even though I really want to read it. I even own it already in both paperback and e-copy.
Chocolate with a Caramel Centre
Name a book that made you feel all gooey in the middle while you were reading it.
My Pick:
The Weather Girl by Amy Vastine. The romance was handled so well in that book, developing slowly and the characters are just so perfect together.
Wafer Free Kit Kat
Name a book that surprised you lately.
My Pick:
Face Time (Love in the Digital Age #1) by SJ Pajonas. I expected this book to be good, but this book surprised me by being even better then I expected. It also is one of the few original contemporary romance book I read.
Snickers
A book that you are going nuts about.
My Pick:
Released by SJ Pajonas. I loved this book so much and every time I think about I have the urge to re-read it, because it was so good. And I can’t wait for book 3! Released ends in a great cliffhanger that makes me so excited for the third book!
Hot Chocolate with Cream and Marshmallows
What book would you turn to for a comfort read?
My Pick:
The Gathering (Darkness Rising #1) by Kelley Armstrong. I just love Kelley Armstrong her writing style and her book are certainly comfort reads for me, there is just something comforting about reading a book by one of your favorite authors. I choose The Gathering because I’ve read it 2 times now and I hardly re-read book, also the nature setting in the book always manages to comfort me and wish I lived in a place with more nature.
Box of Chocolates
What series have you read that you feel has a wide variety and a little something for everyone?
My Pick:
The Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. Although I won’t say it was a little something for everyone, that’s impossible, because I know there are people who don’t like fantasy or even adult books. But I do think this series has a lot to offer. It’s told from multiple point of views and every few books you meet a new main character, so the change that you like or even love some of them is pretty high. It’s also one of my favourite series and I am planning to eventuall re-read it. I choose to only display the cover of the first book, as this series has 13 books and a lot of novella’s and short stories and thought that where a bit too many covers to all include in this post.
People I tag:
– Michelle from Because Reading is Better then Real Life
– Anna from Herding Cats and Burning Soup
– Naomi from The Darkest Reader
– Lexxie from (Un)conventional Book Views
– Krista from Krista’s Dust Jacket
Ofcourse if you don’t want to participate, no problem either, but I thought it was fun 🙂

Thanks for tagging me Dre! It was so much fun to do this tag 🙂
Oh fun! I’d not heard of that before either. I’ll play along once my events this week are over. You’ve got a couple authors on your list I really enjoy though I haven’t read those particular books yet. A couple on my tbr pile too! Nice 🙂

I can’t wait to see your post :). I never had gotten tagged for something like this before and I thought it was a fun way to share some books in a different way on my blog.
This does sound like a lot of fun, Lola. Unfortunately, I won’t have time right now, I’ll try to think of chocolate again once my papers are all handed in, and my exam session is over. 🙂 Thanks for thinking of me!
