Happy Friday, bibliophiles! I’m off a bit earlier than usual because of my school’s asynchronous Friday schedule, so I figured I’d do a nice little book tag. 🙂
I found this tag over at Whispering Stories. I don’t know who originally created the tag, so if anybody knows, please don’t hesitate to tell me and I’ll credit them! It looked super cute, so I figured I’d give it a go.
Let’s begin, shall we?
📚THE BOOKISH BLOG TAG📚
What are 1-3 of your favorite books of all time?
I’d have to go with Frankenstein, Aurora Rising, and Heart of Iron. In no particular order…kind of? I love them all, but I suppose they have varying degrees of sentimental value/specific memories attached to them…
What are 1-3 of your favorite authors of all time?
Oooh, that’s hard…Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff, and Ashley Poston, maybe? I’d put Mary Shelley on there too, but I’ve only read Frankenstein…
Who is your favorite female character from a book?
Again, such a hard pick…but I love Auri from Aurora Rising! Since the book came out, her character has spoken to me on so many levels, the most prominent of which being the fact that you don’t have to be brave to change the world.
Who is your favorite male character in a book?
Jeez, that’s super hard too…
Just one? Again? I suppose I’d have to go with Jax from Heart of Iron, maybe.
What’s your favorite fictional world?
![Amazon.com: Shadow and Bone (Grisha Trilogy) [Assorted Cover image] (9781250027436): Bardugo, Leigh: Books](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81S4cou11jL.jpg)
The entire Grishaverse is so detailed and beautiful, just the kind of fictional universe that I’d want to get lost in. (Maybe. Probably not. Definitely not the Unsea.)
What book has your favorite cover?
For me, it’s impossible to pick a single favorite book cover. I have an entire shelf on Goodreads of books with covers that I like, so I just had to trawl through that…
I eventually settled on Skyhunter for this prompt, though. The colors are just so beautiful, and even the inside of the hardback edition I have is gorgeous!
What’s your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?
Fantastic Mr. Fox, without question! Even though I myself abide by the general “the book is always better than the movie” adage, this is one of the few book-to-movie adaptations that’s even better than the source material. That’s just the magic of Wes Anderson, I guess.
If you could make any book into a movie, which would it be?
Illuminae would make a super tense movie! Now that I’ve seen the Alien/Aliens movies, this novel gives off similar vibes, so I feel like it would be a good fit for the big screen.
What was your favorite childhood book?
The Search for WondLa trilogy shaped me as a person in so many ways…it made me fall in love with sci-fi literature, and it made me want to be an author. So for that, I’ll forever be in Tony DiTerlizzi’s debt.
Fantasy or sci-fi? (Or neither?)
Sci-fi, of course! Can’t say no to having strange adventures while hurtling through space. Plus, aliens are pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
I TAG:
- Phoenix @ Books With Wings
- Cherelle @ A Bolt out of the Book
- Bertie @ Luminosity Library
- Emily @ Frappes and Fiction
- Beck @ Ghost with No Cares
- Anyone else who wants to participate! If you see this tag and you want to do it, then go ahead!
Today’s song:

That’s it for this book tag! Have a wonderful rest of your day, and take care of yourselves!

Thanks for tagging me! This looks like a super interesting tag and I can’t wait to do it! Aurora Rising is such a good book, and that art of Auri is amazing!
It’s true that Skyhunter has such an amazing looking cover and I hope that I can read it soon! (well, that’s all up to me when I read it–I own it).
Great post!

Of course! If you do it, I can’t wait to see your answers! 🙂
I didn’t know you’d read AR, I’m so glad you liked it! The art is so pretty, isn’t it? That one was one of the official character drawings. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Skyhunter too!
Thank you! 💗

Yeah, I read both books that are out earlier in 2020…before book 3 comes out I’ll probably need to do a reread though, my brain does not retain what happens in books very well for some reason. Oh, awesome, it’s beautiful!

I still have yet to read the Shadow and Bone books but I should before the show! I absolutely adored Six of Crows though, but I’ve heard that the Grisha books aren’t as good which is why I’m a bit more hesitant?!

Agreed, I think the SoC books are a little bit better, but the Grisha books are still great 🙂
