Hello hello! Tis I! I return to kick the New Year off with a tag!! Olivia has tagged me with the Taylor Swift Book Tag!
"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" ~ a book/series you thought you were in love with but ended up disliking ♪♫
Ok so this is kind of a younger kids book, but Miss Hickory started out really cute, and then just took a sudden turn and... what...? No... just no...! It turned out to literally be one of the weirdest books I've ever read, I definitely do not recommend...
"Red" ~ a book with a red cover ♪♫
Ummm... I'm afraid I can't think of one.
"The Best Day" ~ a book that makes you feel nostalgic ♪♫
The Island of Blue Dolphins. I first read it when I was about 9, and I've probably reread it about ten times since then. I've always loved it, and it kind of just makes me think of when I was young and things were way simpler.
"Love Story" ~ a book with forbidden love ♪♫
Funnily enough, I can't say I've ever read a book that involved a forbidden love. I probably did at some point during my long book reading life, but right now I can't think of anything.
"I Knew You Were Trouble" ~ a bad character you can't help but love ♪♫
Well I do have a soft spot for that occasional evil character who just somehow captures your heart, but I can't think of any particular character at the present moment, though I know there have been a few.
"Innocent" ~ a book that someone ruined for you ♪♫
I accidentally read a spoiler for Fire by Night from the Refiners Fire series on a blog when I was about half way through the book, and it killed me :( Like "WHAT DO YOU MEAN TED DIES!?!?!"
It was a sad day...
"Everything Has Changed" ~ a character who goes through extensive character development ♪♫
Julia, the main character also from a Fire by Night started out as a self centered, spoiled and generally unlikable character. Throughout the book we see a major character arc during which Julia grows into a caring and capable woman, and by the end, becomes very likable indeed.
"You Belong with Me" ~ your most-anticipated book release ♪♫
Well, it just so happens that all my favorite authors are, well... dead. So no waiting here :)
"Forever and Always" ~ your favorite book couple ♪♫
That's so hard!!! I suppose I'll narrow it down to two and say Valancy and Barney from the Blue Castle *squeeeeal!!!*, and Juliet and Dawsey from the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society *double squeeeeeal!!!*
"Come Back . . . Be Here" ~ the book you would be least likely to lend out ♪♫
The Little Britches Books are a series that I have been reading since I was young and they're such good, sweet books, I don't think I could bring myself to let someone else borrow them for fear I wouldn't see them again.
"Teardrops on My Guitar" ~ a book that made you cry ♪♫
A Candle in the Darkness from the Refiners Fire Series made me bawl. The characters were all just so miserable and it was rather sad and painful :(
"Shake It Off" ~ a book that you love but that other people hate ♪♫
I'm afraid I'm drawing a blank on this one too...
"Stay Stay Stay" ~ a book you wanted to go on forever ♪♫
Catrin in Wales was one of the sweetest, most beautiful books ever, and I didn't want to close the book.
"All Too Well" ~ a book series you wish could go on forever ♪♫
The Chronicles of Narnia is so gorgeous and transports me every time and I never want to see the children leave.
"Ronan" ~ a book with a tragic character death/the death of an innocent ♪♫
When Walter Blythe in Rilla of Ingleside died it was so sad and tragic and he didn't deserve it... *sniffle sniffle*
"Out of the Woods" ~ a book that had you worried about the characters up until the very end ♪♫
I'm going to say Candle in the Darkness again, because I was so worried all the way to the last page because there was so much wrong and everyone deserved to be happy, but nothing was going right. It was quite frustrating.
"Getaway Car" ~ a book with a tempestuous romance ♪♫
The Emily of New Moon Series was full of tempestuous romance. I mean for crying out loud Emily and Teddy, pull yourselves together and work it out! Yeesh my poor nerves were all over the place while reading those books...!!
"Clean" ~ a book that taught you something profound ♪♫
The Blue Castle was such a good book and will always be close to my heart. It taught me that life is meant to be lived to the fullest, as if every minute is your last.
"Long Live" ~ a book that transports you every time ♪♫
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society made me feel as though I were walking the cliff tops of Guernsey, and exploring the woods and beaches with the characters and you could smell that salt air, and feel the wind blowing and hear the waves crashing and it is just such a masterpiece of a book.
And there we are!! Thank you for the tag Olivia!! Now I don't know who else in the blogging community likes Tay except for Olivia, so if you so desire, consider yourself tagged!!
Hopefully I will pop back in with a bit of an update/New Years post soon!! I hope your 2019 has been going wonderfully so far!!
Yours Truly,
Miss Woodhouse
