I was so excited to be tagged to do The Wonder Woman Book Tag by Donna @ Moms Book Collection! I saw the movie and I loved it so this makes me excited! Thank you Donna!
1. WONDER WOMAN: YOUR FAVORITE BADASS FEMALE BOOK CHARACTER
My answer to questions like this is always Elizabeth Bennet but I want to mix it up! I am going to choose one of my more recent favourites- Mustang from Red Rising! She is a total bada** and I can not wait to read the Golden Sun and read more about her.
2. FANTASY ISLAND: A BOOK SETTING YOU WANT TO ESCAPE TO
Definitely The Night Circus by Erin Morenstern! I would love to experience the circus for myself! Can this book be made in to a movie already??
3. LONDON: A HYPED BOOK THAT LET YOU DOWN
I had heard so many great things about Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver but I just could not connect with it! I was so bored and could not find anything redeeming about a single character!
4. STEVE TREVOR: A BOOK THAT HAS A BEAUTIFUL COVER AND A GREAT STORY (I.E. GREAT PERSONALITY)
The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry has one of my favourite covers and the actually story was really intriguing as well!
5. LASSO OF TRUTH: A BOOK YOU HATED
I wanted to like Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert but I couldn’t stand it! It just dragged on. The only part enjoyed was when she was in Italy. I was not a fan of the movie either.
6. WONDER WOMAN’S SHIELD: A BOOK SO SAD YOU NEED A SHIELD
I could have chosen so many books for this but I decided to go with The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne! This book is just so heartbreaking!
7. NO MAN’S LAND: A BOOK THAT YOU WANT TO SEND THROUGH NO MAN’S LAND (I.E. SHOOT IT TO DEATH)
I feel like this is very similar to question five so I am going to skip this one!
8. ARES: A VILLIAN THAT IS SCARY, BUT YOU CAN’T SEEM TO HATE
Jackal from the Immortal Rules. I don’t just not hate him but I sort of love him! If you have not read this series please give it a try!
9. DR. POISON: A VILLIAN THAT HAS NO REASON TO EXIST
Dolores Umbridge– need I say more?
10. THE AMAZONS: A BOOK THAT YOU WISH HAD MORE/BETTER LGBT+ REPRESENTATION
I am going to have to go with Harry Potter for this one because although I obviously adore this series I think it could have benefit from having more LGBT+ representation.
11. JUSTICE LEAGUE: WHAT SUPERHERO BOOK FRIENDS DO YOU TAG?
Beth @ The Books Are Everywhere
Krista and Dawlyn @ Little Blind Book Finds
You are very welcome, great answers by the way!!!!
Thank you!!
Not a problem.
Awesome tag! And I love Mustang!!!
Thanks! She is awesome! 😀
This is such a cool tag!! I completely agree with The Boy in the Striped PJs! That book was so sad. And Before I fall was a major let down… I was so excited to read that one and then I was like “…wut”.
I had to skim most of Before I Fall! Truly did not get the hype! Maybe the movie is better?
Oh yeah, they made a movie…. idk if I’m going to end up watching that or not…
Great answers! And yes, why does Umbridge exist?! Awful awful woman!!!
Ugh she is the worst!!!
Great tag! I’d love to escape to the Night Circus as well. It seems like the most beautiful place <3 Also, I agree with you on the fact that Harry Potter could have had better LGBT+ rep
The Night Circus is so atmospheric! It would make an amazing movie if done well!
Ooh yes! I’d love to watch a movie version, but I understand it may be quite hard to produce because of how detailed the story is.
Umbridge’s only reason to exist was to be a cautionary tale to try to perpetuate a cycle of fear. Then the Golden Trio got involved, and you see how well that turned out. Heroes 9,432,154 – Villians 0
Hahaha loved this. So true!
I am all for a worthy adversary, and what she did with that enchanted quill…god that scared me…but really, she was defeated by going children lying to her. That’s a pretty blind villain.
Mustang is the best!!
She really is!
My daughter loves Immortal Rules and she got excited seeing him on your list. I love Mustang.
Awesome tag!
Ah that is great! She has excellent taste!
Mustang is so awesome!
Amazing tag and great answers!
Thank you!
Oh, I DETESTED Umbridge. She has no redeeming characteristics whatsoever.
Also, The Boy in Striped Pajamas really is a heartbreaking story. The movie was just as sad ):
The Night Circus is a place that I would love to visit! The circus just seems so magical and I would love to see all the tents and everything else.
I absolutely hate Umbridge! She is definitely one of my most hated characters ever!! I also agree that it would have been awesome to have LGBT+ representation in the Harry Potter series. 🙂
I know! It would be so dreamy to experience the night circus!
Umbridge is truly the worst!
Just so you know, I’ve nominated you for a Liebster Award. You’re mentioned in my latest post ☺
That is awesome! Thank you!!!
This tag is great! I’m definitely going to have to do it sometime in the future.
I *loved* Mustang!!! Before I fall was a bit of a letdown. And I agree about Dolores Umbridge!!
Mustang is awesome!!
Ugh Umbridge! 😈
hehehe yes!!
This is the best tag ever?! ahhh I love your answers, I’ve only read Red Rising but I cant wait to read Golden Son too Mustang is a great character. The night circus is so so so good, definitely one of my fave books and yes to HP having more LGBT+ characters it could have changed so many lifes <3 Great post Kristin!
Thank you! I loved this tag too! 😊
Such a fun tag! Great answers! I may have to steal this and do it on my blog in the future!
You should! I would love to see your answers! ❤︎
Totally will! <3
Completly agree about Umbridge! I want to blast her into smithereens. Hate her so much.
And the Boy in Striped Pajamas is so sad #tears.
Just thinking about Umbridge makes me mad!
Ohh this was SUCH a fun tag!! And totally with you on Harry Potter there. It actually annoys me how JK Rowling claims it has LGBT+ rep now but like it’s really not on page. It would’ve been amazing if it’d been on page. I also so want to read The Essex Serpent for that cover. 😍😍 And it’s been YEARS since I read The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and I’m still crying over it. 💔💔
I agree with you! I wish that it was clearly evident while reading Harry Potter!
The Essex Serpent cover is even better in person! It looks so pretty on my shelf! 😊
