Hello, everyone! We're going to be doing the For The Book Lover Tag today! It's where you get a characteristic or trait of the book lover, and you pair it up with a book. We remember watching this on Bookables's channel at this time last year and loving it (you can watch her video here). So now, since it's the holiday season, we have a blog to do it on, let's get started!
1. A book for the old soul.
Ashvini: I'm going to go with The Railway Children, by E. Nesbit. (BTW Emma, it's one of the only classics I have read. So ha! :)
Emma: Well, I am very short on reading classics, but a fairy tale is a classic right? Then I choose Alice in Wonderland.
2. A book for the young at heart.
Ashvini: Usually, I say Percy Jackson, but today I'm going to go with Harry Potter. Whenever, it's Winter and I'm really feeling the holidays I crave Harry Potter.
Emma: Well, well, well, Ashvini. I choose The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones, because I am not that old and I can't pick something I read last year, so I decided to pick something I read in the third grade. This book actually started my love of reading.
3. A book for the ones who love, love.
Ashvini: I'm going to go with a recent contemp. that we recently reviewed: Small Bones. A book by Vicki Grant. This book has a really great family dynamic to it.
Emma: I don't really read a lot of romance, so I chose... An Ember in the Ashes, by Sabaa Tahir. I chose this book because it takes place in a dystopian world where one of the main characters is struggling with her family (who she loves) and the other grew up with a mother who never loved him. FYI: There is going to be a movie 2016/2017 ish.
4. A book for the geek.
Ashvini: Hmm... I'm going to say Paper Towns, by John Green. For your world discoverer...
Emma: Speaking as a book geek myself, I must say 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey because it is currently the only sci-fi on my mind. The movie is also coming out in January. If you are the average geek, I would suggest Percy Jackson and the Olympians, by Rick Riordon. Bring on the mythology...
5. A book for the rebel.
Ashvini: The Remnant Chronicles books by Mary E. Pearson. I've got to tell you, our main character Lia, is quite the rebel.
Emma: I nominate Legend, by Marie Lu. Seriously, no one is a bigger rebel that Day, except maybe June. They both have their back stories and June actually once worked for the Republic! (Since I haven't read the book yet, I have no idea what that means... - Ashvini)
6. A book for the fairytale dreamer.
Ashvini: The Land of Stories, by Chris Colfer!!
Emma: Well I am trying to be original here but I guess I'll have to say the Land of Stories.
7. A book for the BFF's.
Ashvini: 1...2...3...
Emma and Ashvini: SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE!! (By Morgan Matson) Jinx.
8. A book for the adventurer.
Ashvini: You know what, I'm actually going to say the Apothecary, by Maile Meloy. (I didn't know you read this book! Let's talk about it soon. - Emma :)
Emma: If you are an adventurer, then you must read City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare. Do I even have to explain why this is adventurous. Gosh, just read it! This book already has a movie and it will have a TV show in January:)
8. A book for the joker.
Ashvini: This is actually one of those books that I read whenever I go to the bookstore, so I'm only about a good chunk into this one. This May Sound Crazy, by Abigail Breslin. This one had me ROFL-ing (at the bookstore).
Emma: Well there are some funny parts in Percy Jackson. This is a double win if you are a book Geek too, but other than that; I cannot think of anything:/
9. A book for the thrill seeker.
Ashvini: Right now, I would say any Katie Alender. She's a fantastic writer in the horror department!
Emma: I would have to say much the same *high five*, because she creates wonderful horror stories. I suggest getting Famous Last Words because it was my favorite (Mine too, -Ashvini), but all of her books are just great, in general.
10. A book for the soft-hearted.
Ashvini: Hmm... For this I'm going to say Wonder, by R. J. Palacio. It's honestly quite the tearjerker!
Emma: I choose The Hidden Agenda of Sigrid Sugden, by Jill MacLean because the concept was so beautiful. (Oh... Why didn't I think of that! - Ashvini) It reminded me that you didn't have to cry non-stop to find that a book touched your heart. Check out our review on this book here.
11. A book for the risk-taker.
Ashvini: Risk Taker? I think I'm going to go with Double Identity, by Margaret Peterson Haddix. You really sprint right through the whole thing.
Emma: The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins. This book is such a fun read for everyone, and if you have yet to read it; I have a feeling I know what you will be doing this winter;)
12. A book for the beach-kid.
Ashvini: Oooh! Let's say The Truth About Forever, by Sarah Dessen. Aahh... Such a beach-y read.
Emma: Umm...maybe Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs. It is wonderfully faced paced and best of all are the vintage photos. Plus, there is a movie supposedly coming out around late 2016. There are so many book-based movies coming out, that it can't be a coincidence.
So, did you find any of our answers helpful. Watch the original tag by BethJune327 here.
More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!
Happy Holidays,
Ashvini and Emma
