Opposites Book Tag

OPPOSITES BOOK TAG

1. First book in your collection/last book you bought
The first book that I remember having in my collection is actually a series. I used to own a crap ton of the California Diaries books and I was obsessed with them. I'm sure those aren't the first books that i've ever owned but they are the ones I remember having. Oooh and Judy Blume. I was obsessed with Judy Blume books. The most recent book I bought was on my Kindle and it's Simple Perfection by Abbi Glines.

2. Cheap book/Expensive book
All of my Nicholas Sparks books were cheap-I didn't pay full price for any of them. I either bought them at library sales, thrift stores, or from thriftbooks.com. The most expensive is Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I bought that when it first came out in hardcover.

3. Book with a male protagonist/book with a female protagonist
For the male protagonist i'm going to pick Percy Jackson because I love him. For the girl i'm going to choose Hazel from The Fault In Our Stars. Do I really need to tell you why I choose her? I didn't think so. ;)

4. Book you read fast/book that took you to long to read
I read Rule by Jay Crownover reeeeally fast! Breaking Dawn took me the longest but it wasn't because I didn't like it. It just had a lot going on in it and I was really bummed that it was the last Twilight book.

5. Pretty cover/ugly cover
I think that Wither by Lauren DeStefano is a beautiful cover! Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is really ugly. What a fitting title Mr. Westerfeld.

6. National book/international book
For national i'm going to choose Paper Towns by John Green and for international i'm going to choose....Anna & The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.

7. Thin book/thick book
Hmm thin book...Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer...Thick book...any of those ginormous Harry Potter books. :)

8. Fiction book/nonfiction book
Vampire Academy is the fiction book i'm going to choose and i'm going to pick Neon Angel for my nonfiction book.

9. Way to romantic/action
I can't really think of a book that I thought was to romantic...And for action i'm going to pick Divergent by Veronica Roth.

10. Book that made you happy/book that made you sad
I'm going to choose The Fault In Our Stars for both.

Christmas Cracker Book Tag

1. Pick a book with a wintery cover.
Dash and Lilys Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. I think that cover is so beautiful and it makes me feel all wintery when I look at it.

2. Pick a book that you are likely to buy as a present.
Hmm...depends on who i'm buying for. I did buy a book as a present this year though and it was Let Me Off At The Top by Ron Burgundy :) I bought it for my best friend because he's a huge Anchorman fan.

3. Pick a festive themed book.
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle.

4. Pick a book you can curl up with by the fireplace.
Twilight. Hands down. Sorry Twi-haters.

5. Pick a book you want to read over the festive period.
I always want to read Harry Potter over the holidays. Those books are so big and they just scream winter read...However I have yet to read them. Lame.

6. Pick a book that's so good it gives you chills.
I finished Simple Perfection by Abbi Glines the other day and it gave me chills! It was so. freaking. good.
7. Pick a book that's going on your Christmas wish list.
I wanted Rule by Jay Crownover so effing bad and...I GOT IT! Thank you mom ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME BY CHECKING OUT MY BLOG. YOU MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME!

Adrian Ivashkov.
 

2. What character do you want to kiss under the mistletoe?
Rule! I choose Rule!

5. You get to spend the day with the characters and movie adaptation actors from one fandom. What do you pick?
That is so hard! My mind goes to Twilight first but I don't really think i'd be that good of friends with the actors...maybe Taylor Lautner. Hmm. I'll choose The Hunger Games cast. I really love Jennifer Lawrence (Who doesn't?) and Liam Hemsworth is my future husband...so I guess that's how we could meet. Yep i'll choose The Hunger Games.

When I first heard this question I instantly thought Augustus Waters because he's just so happy and Santa is always happy.

BookTubeAThon Wrap-Up

CHRISTMAS BOOKTUBEATHON WRAP-UP!

I. Am. So. Excited!
If you read my post the other day about the BookTubeAThon then you know that I haven't read a single book this month.
I had put a lot of faith into the BookTubeAThon to get me back into reading.
Guess what?
IT DID!
I read a total of 5 books and 1 novella!
YAY, me!

As soon as it hit midnight I started on this bad boy and didn't go to bed until it was finished. :) I am a ginormous fan of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire, so of course when I found out there was a novella I HAD TO READ IT! This kicked off the weekend and i'm so glad I started with this. It was phenomenal if you're curious. :)

Buy A Beautiful Wedding Here!

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

 

 

The next book I read was Forbidden Surrender by Priscilla West. Oh. My. God.
I adored this book! I've found that when i'm in a slump contemporary is usually the way to get me out of it. After reading A Beautiful Wedding I was still in the mood for some tattoed man goodness so this seemed like the perfect choice. I started this book shortly after I woke up and I didn't put it down until I was finished. I really loved Vincent and Kristen and I think you will too.

Buy Forbidden Surrender Here:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

 

 

Obviously since I enjoyed Forbidden Surrender so much I had to pick up the second book in the Surrender series! Sweet heavens was it delicious! I am a fan of romance but I also like a little bit of action too. I really enjoy the way Priscilla kept the books fast paced and kept you on the edge of your seat. Great 2nd installment.

Buy Secret Surrender Here:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

 

 

I'm pretty sure you know what I read next. You think I read the next book in the trilogy (I believe it's a trilogy. Please correct me if i'm wrong!)? Well aren't you smart! I did in fact read the final book :) I read all of these books in one day so obviously I loved them.
Ah. So good. 

Buy Beautiful Surrender Here:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

 

 

After I finished the Surrender series I was still in the mood for some yummy romance so obviously I turned to Abbi Glines. I am in love with the Too Far trilogy and was a major fan of Woods so next I picked up Twisted Perfection. Basically this is a spin off of the Too Far trilogy. And yes you do get to see Blaire and Rush again. Eek! I know! :) I started this book Saturday but couldn't read very much because I had a Christmas party to go to. I picked it back up around 1 am and stayed up until 3 am to finish it. This book was seriously delish! Ooh Woods. Ooh Della.

 Buy Twisted Perfection Here:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

 

 

After Twisted Perfection I needed more Della and Woods so today I picked up Simple Perfection. The title is fitting because it was simply perfection. Ah Abbi Glines you so good.

Buy Simple Perfection Here:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

 

 

After reading Simple Perfection I decided to call it good. I had so much fun participating in the BookTubeAThon and i'm so happy to be out of my reading slump. It was a blast and I can't wait to do another one!
Also if you'd like a detailed review/playlist of any of the books please let me know! :)

Christmas BookTubeAThon

Let me just say how excited I am that some of my favorite BookTubers have decided to do a Christmas BookTubeAThon! Aside from the obvious awesome factor, I'm excited because I haven't read one book in the month of December.

Please don't hurt me.

I don't know what the problem has been but I do know that it's been bugging the hell out of me. I've started multiple books but just haven't been in the mood for them.

I feel like the BookTubeAThon is the perfect thing to get me out of my slump.

A lot of BookTubers are making videos showing the books they plan on reading but since I write blog posts and not make videos i'm going to share what I plan on reading here. Cross your fingers I actually get some reading done.

P.S. The BookTubeAThon goes from Friday-Sunday.

First book I plan on reading is actually a novella. I'm easing my way back into this whole reading thing.

I am a HUGE fan of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster so when I found out that Jamie McGuire was releasing a novella I was stoked. If this can't get me out of my slump I don't know what will!

 

 

The second book (legit book this time) I plan on reading is Unearthly by Cynthia Hand. I've heard really good things about this trilogy so i'm excited to get into it.

 

So far those are the only books on my list for 2 reasons
-I don't know if my slump will continue to take over
-I requested some books from NetGalley and i'm not sure if I got them yet
However I will do a wrap up after the BookTubeAThon to let you know what I read.
I will also being doing random updates on Twitter.

Winter Wonderland Book Tag

 

1. What book is so happy and sweet that it warms your heart?
Anna & The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I'm pretty sure everyone else would choose this book but it just warms my heart.

2. What is your favorite book with a white cover?
Cloaked by Alex Flinn is primarily white so does that count? It's really pretty so I say it counts. :)

3. You're sitting in a nice comfy chair, wearing a onesie, with a lovely warm hot chocolate but what MONSTER read are you reading?
Monster as in large? I would say one of the Twilight books. I really enjoy reading them in the winter.

4. It started snowing so you decided to have a snowball fight! What fictional character would you love to have the snowball fight with?
Adrian Ivashkov. Hands down.

5. Sadly, your fire is beginning to go out. So what book would you tear the last few chapters out to throw into the fire?
Part of me wants to say Allegiant by Veronica Roth because I was so angry with the way she ended it but I see why she did it that way. Doesn't mean I'm not mad at her though.

6. What book is so close to your heart that you would gift it to someone this Christmas who hasn't read it but wants to get into reading?
Honestly I would say Twilight. First of all those books are very close to my heart and second they got a lot of people into reading. If my friend had watched the movies and didn't enjoy them or hated vampires...well we wouldn't be friends...but hypothetically if that were the case I'd recommend The Hunger Games. I feel like those books got a lot of people into reading as well.

T10T: December 17: Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2013

I've been failing miserably at Top Ten Tuesday posts so i'm going to try to get back into the swing of things.

I'm stoked for this weeks theme because i've found a ton of new authors this year that i've become obsessed with!

 

Also i'm putting this up on a Monday because I won't have time to post tomorrow.

Enjoy!!

10. Jessica Sorenson

I read one of her books earlier this year and somewhat enjoyed it...then I read The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden and fan girled like I just saw Edward Cullen. It was so good! There is another after but because I suck I haven't read it yet.

9. Amanda Hocking

The Watersong series is one of my favorite series of the year! The second book I read in one day, that's how much I enjoyed it.

8. Alexandra Bracken

The Darkest Minds. I don't need to say anymore.

7. Michelle Hodkin

I FINALLY jumped on the Mara Dyer coo-coo train and i'm soooo happy I did. These books are incredible and when the 3rd book comes out i'm going to run around the room screaming for about an hour or so.

6. Jennifer E. Smith

I remember when The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight came out and everyone was all oohing and ahhing over it. I have yet to read it but I did read This Is What Happy Looks Like and I freaking loved it! Such a cute contemporary.

5. Abbi Glines

I read the Vincent Boys this year and I kinda enjoyed it. Then I read The Vincent Brothers and reeeeally enjoyed it. THEN I read the Fallen Too Far series and fell head over heels in love with Abbi Glines. If you're a fan of New Adult and you haven't read those books then we can't be friends. Just kidding but seriously read them!

4. J.J. Howard

I said earlier in the year that "That Time I Joined The Circus" is one of my favorite books of the year. Since then i've read MANY books and it's still one of my favorites. If you're looking for a magical contemporary pick this book up!

3. Tammara Webber

The Between The Lines series has become one of my all time favorite series! I read the first 3 in January and counted the days until the fourth and final installment came out. I interviewed Tammara and I can honestly tell you she's as kind as she is talented.

2. Sarah Billington

If last weeks theme didn't convince you that I adore Sarah Billington then I don't know what more to do. I absolutely love her. Her books are hilarious and so well written. Also we should be best friends. :)

1. Jay Crownover

If you haven't picked up on it yet, i'm a HUGE fan of Jay Crownover. Rule and Jet were both incredible books and i'm literally counting down the days until Rome comes out. Ahh! :)
