Tag Tuesday: Coffee Tag

• Black - a book that is hard to get into but has a ton of die hard fans



Some of my best friends, whose opinions I respect so much, loved this book and the rest of the series. Therefore, I had extremely high expectations for the series and I was completely let down. I actually hated the book to the point that I am not planning on continuing with the series.

• Peppermint Mocha - a book that is popular around the holiday season



This is really the only holiday book that I have ever read.... oops. It was great though. 

• Hot Chocolate - a children's book that you love



At first, I thought about putting any book by Dr. Suess; they were the books that I learned to read with. Then I thought about putting any of the Harry Potter books as they are technically labeled as children's books. Eventually and finally, I settled on Matilda, this book was probably the first book where I really resonated with a character. I was a lot like Matilda; I loved to read, obviously,  and I was a bit of the outsider in my family because of that, that's still how it is actually, I never had the abusive issues that Matilda experienced or the terrible school teacher but I resonated with her nonetheless. I used to reread this book a hundred times and never get sick of it. I'm actually in the mood to read it again.  

• Starbucks - a book that you literally see everywhere



I see this everywhere I turn and I have no interest in reading it!!!

• Hipster Coffee Shop - a book by an author that you love



This is probably my favorite book out the Harry Potter series and JK Rowling, is hands down, my favorite author because of these masterpieces. 

• Oooops, I accidently got decaf - a book that you were expecting so much more from



*WARNING* This is probably an unpopular bookish opinion!!! I wanted to love this book so much because it is by John Green and I love everything else that he has written, but I couldn't get half-way through this book before I put it down. I just didn't like it. I haven't been able to identify why, but I didn't. I might pick it up again and give it another shot, but who knows?

• Perfect Blend - a book with the perfect combination of bitter and sweet



This is probably my favorite Nicholas Sparks novel ever, and I have read almost all of them. The love story between Landon and Jaime is perfectly romantic, sweet, innocent, complex, and everything you can imagine. The tragedy is predictable but it still hurts like nothing else could. The end is the definition of bittersweet. 

• Green Tea - a book that is quietly beautiful



This was one of those books that dealt with such difficult situations, a young girl's suicide and how it affects the people that she left behind, but because of that was so beautiful. It was impeccably written and the situations were handled with gorgeously. 

• Chai Tea - a book that makes you dream of far off places



This book just made me want to do a study abroad year even more and fall in love with a foreign guy. Maybe in Spain. 

Book Tag Tuesday: Would You Rather?

I do not plan on doing a book tag every Tuesday. When I find a tag that I find interesting, I will do it, and post it for the next available Tuesday. Do not expect one every Tuesday!!!

Would you rather read only a series or stand-alone books?

This is difficult for me to answer because I love so many of both. If I had to choose... I think that I would choose to read series, mainly because I get so attached to characters and worlds and series allow me to live in them longer. 

Would you rather read a book whose main character is male or female?

I usually gravitate towards a book with a female protagonist because I can more readily relate to a female, as I am one myself. But don't get me wrong, some of m favorite books have male protagonists. For example one of my favorite stand-alones, Looking For Alaska by John Green, has a male main character. My all time favorite series, Harry Potter by JK Rowling, has a male main character.

Would you rather shop at only Barnes & Nobel (or other actual book store) or Amazon?

There is no doubt in my mind that I would choose Barnes & Nobel (or other actual book store). I love being in a book store surrounded by others who love books. 

Would you rather all books become movies or TV shows?

Movies. With TV shows there is so much more of a chance for the story to be messed with, for the beauty of the book to be lost.

Would you rather read 5 pages per day or 5 books per week?

If I had the time to read 5 books per week my life would be amazing!!! Lately, I barely have time to read 5 pages per week with the amount of homework that I have.

Would you rather be a professional book reviewer or author?

Author. I haven't found my voice in my writing yet, but author definitely.

Would you rather read the same 20 books over and over or read a new book every 6 months?

This one is probably the toughest question on here.... a new book every 6 months. Even though I read quickly, I would just reread that book a couple of times. LOOPHOLES!!!!

Would you rather be a librarian or own a book store?

This one was easy for me. I have wanted to own a book store for as long as I can remember. I even have the layout in my head. 

Would you rather only read your favorite genre or favorite author?

Favorite genre because then I could discover new favorite authors. 

Would you rather only read physical books or ebooks?

I love both so much but if I had to choose I would definitely pick physical books because there is just something about holding a book in your hand that makes your day so much better.
