Disney Book Tag!

Hi everyone!

Finally, I have a TAG that I was actually tagged to do! Aren’t you impressed?! This one is probably my favourite book tag EVER! I’m a huge disney fanatic, and actually made a post about it and you can view it here.
Thank you to one of my favourite bloggers Alina @ Radiant Reads, for tagging me (quite a while ago may I add, but I guess better late then never, I suppose)!


#1. The Little Mermaid – A character that is out of their element, a “Fish out of Water”.

For this question, I’m going to say Alex from The Land Of Stories: A Wishing Spell, which if your new here, TLOS Series by Chris Colfer is my favourite series in the entire world, and you’ll probably see this book pop up in every tag! In the first book especially, Alex is basically an outcast in her school, until the make a venture into The Land of Stories, and she finds a place where she really belongs.

#2. Cinderella – A character that goes through a major transformation.

I think that Ji-Li Jiang from the memoir Red Scarf Girl went through a major transformation. This book is based on a true story, and you can find my book review, here. Basically, she went from believing one thing to another in about 5 years!

#3. Snow White – A book with an eclectic cast of characters.

I was going to write The Land of Stories series, but while reading Alina’s post, I have to agree with her; the Harry Potter cast is amazing! I still have yet to finish the series, and I have all of the books, so hopefully in 2016 I’ll be able to marathon/finish it for good!

#4. Sleeping Beauty – A book that put you to sleep.

The second book of Harry Potter… still haven’t finished it. Oops!

#5. The Lion King – A character that had something traumatic happen to them in their childhood.

Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles has been through A TON! By the way, Winter has to hurry up! And no, I don’t mean the season I mean the final book in the TLC series!

#6. Beauty and the Beast – A beast of a book (a big book) that you were intimidated by, but found the story to be beautiful.

Me Being Me is Exactly As Insane as You Being You by Todd Hasak-Lowy! This book is huge but I LOVED IT! Thanks to Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me an ARC to review, check out my review, here!

#7. Aladdin – A character that get’s their wish granted, for better or for worse.

Probably Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars. There “wish” was to meet there favourite author and find out what happens to the characters. If you’ve read the book, you most likely know what I mean! Check out my book review, here!

#8. Mulan – A character that pretends to be something or someone they are not.

This was a hard one for me to think about, but I have to say Harry Potter. In the beginning of his life, he didn’t even know he was part of a “magical family past”. And although he wasn’t “pretending” (he didn’t know!), his cousin and aunt and uncle knew but didn’t tell him, so they pretended that he was just an ordinary boy, but we all know he isn’t!

#9. Toy Story – A book with characters you wish would come to live.

What do you think I’m going to say?! THE LAND OF STORIES!!!! No explanation needed.

#10. Disney Descendants – Your favourite villain or morally ambiguous character.

Definitely going to have to go with Queen Levana from The Lunar Chronicles series! Check out my review for Queen Levana’s back story book, here!


That my friends, was the disney book tag!

February Flurries: Epic Reads Book Tag!

Hey guys!

Today, I’m going to be sharing with you my answers to the Epic Reads Book Tag! This tag was created by the awesome girls over at the Epic Reads YouTube Channel!

Margot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdes8O-bHI0
Aubry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSuF8Xouzoc

Let’s get started!

1. If you could invite one author and one of their fictional characters to tea, who you invite and what you would you serve them?

I would invite John Green and Augustus Waters to tea. I think that both of those men have such a poetic talent, and are all strong male characters in our society (both real and fake). Augustus provides hope, while John Green is such a poetic/talented men. And let’s not forget, John Green writes stories about cute guys providing hope! Click the link to find my The Fault in Our Stars by John Green book review: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/the-fault-in-our-stars-by-john-green-book-review/.

2. What Book do you wish the author would write a prequel for?

I really am not a huge fan of prequels, but I can understand them only when they are needed. I really want a prequel to Anna and The French Kiss, relating to Ellie and St. Clair, and how they first met! I thought that would be really interesting, since I just finished that book YESTERDAY! Review to come!

3. Name two characters (NOT from the same book) do you think would make a good couple. 

Hmmm… Maybe, St. Clair from Anna and The French Kiss, and Hazel from The Fault in Our Stars. I feel like there relationship would be very humorous. Also, St. Clair would make Hazel feel better in times of sadness of grief.

4. If you ran into your favorite author on the subway and could say only one sentence to them who is it and what would it be?

We all know that is Chris Colfer.

I would probably ask him for his email, so we could correspond all night long. Or, I would probably ask him what the title for “The Land of Stories 4” is going to be.

5. What book made you a reader and why?

I can’t really answer this. Like I’ve said in most posts, I have been a big reader since I was a baby, and would always insist on a story read before bed. A book that got me into reading YA was probably Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys, which was my first YA book, or Divergent by Veronica Roth, because that was how I discovered Book Blogs/Booktube. Click the link to see my Divergent Movie Review: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/divergent-movie-review/!

6.  Incendio! Your bookshelf just caught on fire. What one you book would you save?

ALL of “The Land of Stories” books by Chris Colfer, because each of them have a funny story behind them, which I may do a post on!

7. Which dystopian world would you want to live in if you had to choose one? Why?

UMMM… If I had a choice, most likely none. If I had to choose, probably the Divergent World, because I feel like I would be Divergent, which means an alien (GET IT DAD!). I was thinking of The Hunger Games Trilogy, but who’s kidding who, I wouldn’t survive 1 minute of the games, let alone 5 minutes!

8. What is your most epic read of all time?

The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer.

That was it for the questions!

The Reader Problems Book Tag!

Hi everyone!

Today, I thought I would do a TAG, as I know most of you enjoy when I do them. If you want to check out my previous TAGS, you can check the “Book Tags” page on the bar above this post! Like every other TAG, I was not tagged by anyone, but I thought this would be fun to do!

Watch the original creator answer the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SfhSV-L3eo!

1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next?

I decide what book I’m going to read by my mood and/or the season!

2. You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?

It really depends. If it’s a popular book like, Divergent, The Hunger Games, etc. then I would probably finish it because I assume that all of the hype is for something. If it’s just a random book that know one has heard of, then I’d probably drop it.

3. The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how?

I’d probably try to finish it!

4. The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?

This hasn’t really happened to me with covers, but it has with paperback and hardcover! Most of the time, I’ll put them on separate shelves. I’m not one of those people who will buy additional copies of the same book just for the covers. I think that is pretty stupid.

5. Every one and their mother loves a book you really don’t like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?

Most of the time, my bookish/bloggy friends. To be honest, I really don’t care (turns on Demi Lovato’s song and has a dance party)! Sometimes, I question whether everyone is just following the “hype train” and likes the book just because everyone else does. And, that I’m the only one who actually has their own opinion!

6. You’re reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?

Go to the bathroom. Although, I usually don’t cry over books!

7. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book?

Normally, I don’t forget, but in the special case that I do I will go on Wikipedia and read the whole plot. I’m not a huge fan of re-reading books that I’ve forgotten, especially because if I’ve forgotten it, it mostly means that I don’t like it.

8. You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?

If they’re not at my house, I’ll say somebody borrowed it and is currently in list far place here. If they are at my house, I will just say that I am about to give it to somebody else.

9. Reading ADD. You’ve picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?

I have a lot of books that are on my most anticipated reads of this year (read all about them here: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/most-anticipated-books-of-2015/), for mostly each month, so I will try to wait until the one for that month comes out. Another way is to just find something that I will keep reading!

10. There are so many new books coming out that you’re dying to read! How many do you actually buy?

All of them…

11. After you’ve bought the new books you can’t wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?

Since I can not wait to read them, I will try to get through them as quickly as I can!

That was The Reader Problems TAG!
