The In or Out Book Tag
The In or Out Book Tag
This original tag was created about five years ago by @RickMacDonnell, and it has recently been revived. I was tagged by my friend Chas @BookishChas. The tag asks us to consider several bookish features and classic tropes in literature and to make a snap decision as to whether we are "in" with it (that is, we like it), or "out" with it (that is, we don't like it). I provided a bunch of examples to illustrate my choices as well.
