For The Booklover Tag.


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.

Happy Holidays, 
Ashvini and Emma

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone,  Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...

Ratings: Valuable Or A Mere Benchmark? - #SheSaysSheSays

As we've started countless times before, this blog originated as a discussion space where we could speak our mind. To maximise our motives, we're going to be commencing a discussion series entitled "She Says, She Says." The topics can range from books to current affairs, but will always explore ideas through two perspectives. :) Ashvini: As a self-proclaimed “book reviewer” living a whole life in the book interwebs within a mountain of words; I felt the pressure to form my own “rating” for a novel. From the start of TwoGirlsThatRead, the entire process of numbering my thoughts felt foreign and unnatural, and similar to my purple sweater, I simply assumed I would grow into it. Even today, my opinion of ratings still hasn’t found a home.     Stepping into the world of Goodreads and such, ratings were a safe house.  A guide of what I should expect, that saved me a 50/50 chance letdown. However, the farther along the path I travelled, the more of a wil...
