I grew up in the 90’s so of course I loved anything 90’s related! I saw that Mandy and Sha @ Book Princess Review posted the 90’s Movies Book Tag I just had to do it. I love so many of these movies and now I am thinking about having a 90’s movie marathon this weekend!
SHE’S ALL THAT
NAME A BOOK COUPLE THAT IS AN ODD PAIRING BUT THEY STILL FIT PERFECTLY
Saying that Stella and Michael met under unusual circumstances would be an understatement! These are two characters that could not be more different in so many ways, but somehow they just work. They have so much chemistry and I enjoyed every second of this book!
10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU
A BOOK/SERIES THAT YOU HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH
I have a love/hate relationship with John Green’s writing! I adored The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska when I first read them but that was when I was first getting in to Young Adult. I am not sure what I would think of those two books now. I was completely bored by Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines and couldn’t stand the characters. When Turtles All the Way Down came out last year I wasn’t sure what I would think about it and I absolutely LOVED it!
CLUELESS
A CHARACTER THAT IS TOTALLY CLUELESS BUT YOU LOVE THEM ANYWAY
This such an obvious answer but how can I not say Neville Longbottom!! I just adore him and all his forgetfulness!
TITANIC
NAME A BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY
A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is the book that made me cry most recently and I was not prepared for it! I became so incredibly attached to these characters and I could physically feel their emotions. There were moments throughout that book that made me tear up out of both happiness and sadness. I love when books can do that!
AMERICAN PIE
A BOOK THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH
I do not read a lot of funny books so there are not a lot of books for me to choose from whenever this question comes up! I did think A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet had some really funny moments but since I just talked about that one I decided to talk about Yes Please by Amy Poehler. I do not read a lot of celebrity memoirs, but I just love Parks and Recreation so I knew I had to read this one. Her sense of humour definitely shone through the book and I laughed out loud!
CAN’T HARDLY WAIT
A BOOK WITH A CRAZY PARTY
Another obvious answer but no one throws a greater party than Jay Gatsby. This photo says it all!
CRUEL INTENTIONS
NAME A CHARACTER YOU CAN NEVER FULLY TRUST
Any character in an Agatha Christie novel! Any time I read her books I end up suspecting every single character at some point and I think that is what makes her books so fun to read. Even though I suspect everyone, her endings still always catch me off guard!
DRIVE ME CRAZY
NAME YOUR FAVOURITE “BOY NEXT DOOR” OR “GIRL NEXT DOOR” COUPLE
I like the thought of Jo and Laurie from Little Women being together. I will always be bitter about this no matter how many times I read the book or watch the movie!
SCREAM
A BOOK WITH A MEMORABLE VILLAIN
Definitely AIDAN from The Illuminae Files. He is one of the most complex ‘villains’ that I have ever read about!
THE CRAFT
NAME A BOOK WITH WITCHES
Rules of Magic is one of my favourite books with witches. It is a prequel to Practical Magic, and I absolutely fell in love with this book. I loved the magical realism, the setting, the history, as well as the relationships between the characters. This might become a book that I read every single fall!
Aweee Neville!!! I completely agree with that one hehe.
How could I not say Neville!?
Same with John Green! I have almost all his books now though so I might as well try haha
That is exactly how I feel!
I agree with you on Jo and Laurie from Little Women being together. I think they would have been a nice pairing, and I also think it would not have stopped Jo to write and become a writer. They could have worked it out.
I completely agree! I get angry just thinking about it!
What a cool tag!! I was born in 96 but I always say, if there was a decade I could have been in my 20s for, it would be the 90s because I all my favorite musicians and shows were at their peak then xD 100% agree with you on the John Green answer!
SO many of my favourites are from that time as well! It was such an interesting decade!
I have the same love-hate relationship with John Green! I’ve read all his books apart from Turtles All the Way Down even though more than half were just mediocre. But I can’t help but buy his books for some reason haha
Haha what is it about John Green’s books that make you just have go read them?! I am like that too. So strange!
This tag made me so excited! And kind of wistful too. Now I’m thinking to have a 90s movies marathon this weekend too.
She’s All That, The Craft, and Drive Me Crazy used to be my favs.
Can you believe I have never seen The Craft? That needs to change!
Oh no! No way! Yea, definitely check it out when you do your marathon. 😊
I love this tag! The movies of my teenage years! I’m definitely stealing this one 🙂
Yay! Can’t wait to see your answers!
Oooh yessss! So many great books, and I think Jo and Laurie could have made it too. 💯
Definitely!! I wish they had a least tried!
I’m so happy you loved Long Way to a Small Angry Planet! It’s such a wonderful read. I have the third book in the series on my TBR and I’m so excited to be back in that universe. Books that have the power to make you tear up from joy are so special 💕
I was so charmed by the book! Such an amazing world! It really is a special thing when books can do that.
Ahhh, Jo and Laurie will always give me the bittersweet feels. I totally shipped them while reading the books and watching the movie, so it was just a very sad (though realistic) ordeal that they didn’t end up together. Still uber sad though. 😭 Excellent post!
That is so true. I completely understand why they didn’t end up together I just wish things could have been different!
