The infinity stones book tag.

Hi booklovers

It's been a very long time since I did a tag, but I recently saw this tag on Noveltea Corner's channel.

It's called 'The infinity stones book tag' and you can find her video here. She also created this tag, btw!

 

*SPACE STONE (TESSERACT) - A book that transported you 

Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

This literally transports you to a different world.

*MIND STONE (LOKI’S SCEPTRE) - A book that made you think 

Wonder by R.J. Palacio

This is a book every high school pupil should read!

 

*REALITY STONE (AETHER) - A book with an altered reality 

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

This book takes places in different universes in which the main character's reality is often very different from the original universe.

 

*POWER STONE (ORB) - A book with a character that has great potential (for good or bad)

The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson 

In this book you can already tell that both Vin and Elend have great potential to do good.

 

*TIME STONE (EYE OF AGAMOTTO) - A book set in a different time (past or future) 

The Diary of a young girl by Anne Frank

This is the collection of diary entries Anne Frank wrote during World War II. Living in Belgium, this is a book that always really spoke to me.

*SOUL STONE - A book that stole your soul 

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 

This one ripped my soul out both times I read it.

 

I tag:

- Lisa from lisaswestcoastreads 

- Irina from Beautiful Pages 

 

If you want to do this tag, consider yourself tagged :-)

 

Bye for now

Try a chapter tag #1 - in review.

Hi booklovers

I don't know why, but for some reason I want to do some 'in review' posts. 

I'm trying to decide what I'm going to read next so I wanted to do another 'Try a chapter' tag. While looking at my first 'TaC' tag post, I thought it would be nice to first take a look at which books I ended up reading.

In that post I organised the books from 'I'm not going to read this' to 'This is the one I'm going to read first'. Obviously, I read my number one book, but what about the other books in between those two?

Let's take a look:

#6 The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer. Like I said in the original post, this wasn't my cup of tea, so I returned it to the library.

#5 The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett. I haven't picked this one up yet :-s Shame on me.

#4 A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray. I've actually read the whole trilogy, which I think is quite the achievement. I really enjoyed the trilogy and the covers are stunning.

#3 Graceling by Kirsten Cashore. Nope, I haven't read this one yet.

#2 Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. Same here.

#1 Legend by Marie Lu. When I read this one, I didn't have the other two in the trilogy yet. But, I enjoyed this book so much that I went and bought the other two and I've actually read them as well. *pets oneself on the back*

Not too bad, especially since I actually finished both trilogies I started :-)

Have you ever done the 'Try a Chapter' tag? Does it help you to decide what you want to read? Let me know in the comments.

Halloween book tag.

Hi booklovers

Tonight is Halloween and even though we don't celebrate it over here I wanted to do this tag I saw at thriceread.com.

1. Carving Pumpkins: What Book Would You Carve Up and Light On Fire?

Hmm, I haven't read that many bad books lately, but maybe 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' and 'P.S. I still love you by Jenny Han. The main character was just too juvenile for me.

2. Trick or Treat: What Character Is A Trick and What Character Is A Treat?

Trick: Ashlin from Nevernight towards the end of the book.

Treat: Azriel from ACOMAF/ACOWAR and Matthias from SoC / CK. 

 

3. Candy Corn: What Book Is Always Sweet?

I don't read that many contemporary books but Amy & Roger's Epic Detour is such a sweet book. 

 

4. Ghosts: What Character Would You Love To Visit You As A Ghost?

SPOILER ALERT: Matthias from SoC / CK.

 

5. Costumes: What Character Would You Like To Be For A Day?

Mia Corvere. Can you tell that I just read Nevernight and Godsgrave and that I loooooved it :-D 

 

6. Wizards and Witches: What Is Your Favourite Harry Potter Moment?

This is a difficult one, there are so many to choose from. One of the funniest moments in the book is when Ron gets his Prefect letter and badge:

Molly Weasley: " I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! That's everyone in the family!"

George Weasley: " What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours?"

 This always makes me laugh so hard.

 

7. Blood and Gore: What Book Was So Creepy That You Had To Take A Break From It?

I don't read creepy books, so I this hasn't happened to me yet. I have put Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter down this morning because before I was intrigued by the story but now I just got so confused. I'm not sure if I'll finish it (soon).

Let me know your answers to some of the questions in the comments.

Happy Halloween / All Hallow's Eve!

Bye for now
