Taylor Swift Book Tag!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I have been super sick for the past week and I am just now feeling up to posting something on the blog and actually being on the computer. I was so sick, I didn't even feel like reading! Hopefully that will start changing soon. I miss reading!

I saw a bunch of BookTubers do the Taylor Swift Book Tag and I thought it would make a fun blog post, so that's what I'm going to do! Here goes!

1. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

(pick a book or series that you were pretty sure you were in love with, but then wanted to break up with)

I'm choosing this book for obvious reasons. Haha.

2. Red

(pick a book with a RED cover)

Although this isn't one of my favorite covers, I REALLY enjoyed this book a lot. And the cover is red. So it counts!

3. The Best Day

(pick a book that makes you feel nostalgic)

This book right here. I loved the book and the movie. I remember reading this book so many times when I was younger and the story never got old. It's just so good.

4. Love Story

(pick a book with forbidden love)

This one was a no brainer for me. I loved Lochan and Maya's story so much.

5. I Knew You Were Trouble

(pick a book with a bad character you couldn’t help but love)

To be honest, I have no idea what to put for this question!

6. Innocent

(pick a book that someone ruined the ending for)

Unfortunately I never got the opportunity to read these books before I was completely spoiled. I hope that one day I will decide to pick these books up anyways.

7. Everything Has Changed

(pick a character from a book who goes through extensive character development)

Sloane had to go through a lot of changes in this book. I loved being able to read what all she went through and be there as she grew as a person.

8. You Belong With Me

(pick your most anticipated book release)

Ever since I finished The Evolution of Mara Dyer, I've been dying for this book. I can not wait for it to finally be out!

9. Forever and Always

(pick your favorite book couple)

Okay, I have a lot of favorite book couples.. However, this is the most recent one that I have read about and I still can't get over how perfect they are together.

10. Come Back, Be Here

(pick the book you would least like to lend out, for fear of missing it too much)


Why did I pick TFIOS? Well... It was the book that got me really into reading. It's the book I go to when I am in a terrible reading slump to get me out of it. THAT'S why I picked it.




So this was REALLY hard to pick answers for.. Haha. But now it's your turn. If you are reading this, I tag you!

SUMMERTIME MADNESS BOOK TAG!

This tag was created by JackEatsBooks on Youtube and I was tagged by The Honest Bookclub! 

Let's get this thing started!

1. Show a book with a Summery cover! (The one that showcases the sun, the beach, etc.)

How perfect is this book for this question? The sun shining, summer romance.. It's perfect!

2. Pick one fictional place that would be the perfect destination for your Summer Vacation!

Hmm, I think I'm going to have to go with pretty much any Sarah Dessen book. She always writes about these small towns at the beach and they all seem to relaxing and so fun. And of course, Summer isn't complete without a beach trip!

3. You're about to go on a flight to your Summer Vacation. But you want to read a book that lasts for the whole flight, so what novella do you choose

4. You have a case of Summertime Sadness. What happy book do you pick up to shine a smile on your face?

I know I literally just read this book.. but if I needed to pick up a book to put a smile on my face, this would be the one I would go to right now.

5. You're sitting at the beach all alone. Which fictional character would be your beach babe?

Hmm.. I can't pick just one! It's between Noah (Mara Dyer), Josh (Isla), and Four (Divergent).

6. To match your ice cream you want an icy cool sidekick! Which fictional sidekick do you pick?

A sidekick.. Oh lord. As weird as this may be, I'm going to go with Meadow from The Murder Complex. She's so kick butt but she also seems like a really good person at the same time. 

7. Share the summertime happiness! Who do you TAG?
