The 1989 Book Tag

September 18, 2015 Posted by angelreads tags 1 Comment

1989 book tag

I love Taylor Swift. If you have me on twitter then you would probably know that. I think she is pretty amazing. I have seen her 3 times in concert before and I am seeing her again in December. Anyway, I saw this tag pop up and I knew that I had to do it. So here it is.

The 1989 Book Tag was created by the lovely Reviews from a Bookworm. (and I am very happy she did.) Song lyrics match up to questions. The songs used are from her most recent album 1989 (which I must say, that I adore).

Welcome to ny

 

You can want who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls.

1. A book with LGBT theme

256683For this I had to go with the Mortal instrument series by Cassandra Clare – because Alec and Mangus, my heart. They are just perfect together. They may not be the main characters but they do steal the show a lot fo the time.

 

 

 

Blank space

You can tell me when it’s over if the high was worth the pain.

2. A book that hit you right in the feels… but was totally worth it.

24917415Paperweight by Meg Haston gave me so many feels. All I wanted to do to the main character was hug and hold her tight. I cried a little bit – but I cry at so many things that I am not surprised. You can read my review here. 

 

 

 

I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

3. A book that you hated but you loved the cover

ashes

 

An inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet. Okay I didn’t hate this book but I didn’t love it. The cover though is gorgeous.  You can check out my review here.

 

 

I’ve got a blank space baby and I’ll write your name.

4. Your latest book boyfriend/girlfriend

mangus chanseThis is a tie between Mangus Chase from The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan and Chet Falconer from Dangerous lies by Becca Fitzpatrick

Style edit

 

We never go out of style.

5. A timeless classic that you love

72193Harry Potter – does anything else need to be said. I grew up with it and will read it again and again for as long as I can.

 

 

 

out of the woods

 

The rest of the world is black and white, but we were in screaming colour.

6. A book which had vivid world building.

cinderI haven’t read that many books recently that had amazing world building, which makes me really up upset. Because world building is my best friend. But The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. Cinder starts the world off well and as the series goes on, it gets bigger, better and more frightening.

 

 

 

The monsters turned out to be just trees.

7. A book where things weren’t exactly how they seemed.

16143347There is no questions asked, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is the book for this. If you have read it you will know what I mean. You have no idea what to believe, who to believe, if anything is really happening. You can read my review here.

 

 

 

all you had to do was stay

 

You were all I wanted… but not like this.

8. A book you were eagerly anticipated, but ended up being disappointed by.

15832932

I loved My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick so I was really excited when What I Thought was True was coming out but I ended up being a little disappointed. I liked it but didn’t love it.

 

 

 

Shake if off

 

The haters gonna hate…

9. A book/series that everyone seems to love but you can’t help but hate.

throne of glassOkay, so I don’t hate these books. But I couldn’t think of another series. I don’t really like the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Mass. In saying that I have only read the first book and I am planning to read the whole series before November. I actually really like Sarah’s writing and the world that she started to build. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. However I really disliked the romance aspect – I really don’t like love triangles and I know things that happen further on in the series – anyway.

 

10. A book/series you love but everyone else seems to hate.

hus hushI love the Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick. I read it nearly 6 years and I love it just as much. Because come on Patch. Yes, there were some problems but overall I really loved the series.

 

 

 

I wish you would edit

 

I wish you knew I’ll never forget you as long as I live.

11. A book/series you know you will always love.

pushing the lmitsI would say Harry Potter but I want to do something different, because you know me I would always choose Harry Potter. But I think I will always love The Pushing the Limits Series by Katie McGarry. It’s amazing and beautiful and I wish it would go on and on.

 

 

 

I wish you were right here, right now

12. An upcoming release you wish you could have right now!

lady midLady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. Because it’s Cassie and the snippets that are coming out are soo good.

 

 

 

bad blood (1)

Now we’ve got bad blood, you know it used to be mad love.

13. A character you once loved but grew to hate.

divergentTris from the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth. I liked her at the start but as time went she got so annoying and got on my nerves so much.

 

 

 

Did you have to do this, I was thinking that you could be trusted.Did you have to ruin what was shiny, now it’s all rusted.

14. An author you haven’t forgiven for the things they did to your favourite characters/books.

Cough…Cough. J.K Rowling, enough said.

Wildest dreams edit

I can see the end as it begins.

15. A book that was far too predictable.

25294101I cannot think of anything at the moment – maybe Gambit by C.L Denault – but I still reallt enjoyed the book. You can read my review here. 

 

 

 

Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now.

16. A book/series that you wish could have gone on forever.

72193Again, Harry Potter because come on, why not?

 

 

 

 

How you get that girl

That’s how it works, that’s how you get the girl.

17. One of your favourite books where they ‘got the girl’

my life next doorMy Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. It’s beautiful and my heart…all the feels. It’s so adorable, I might give a re-read soon.

 

 

 

this love edit

In darkest screams, in wildest dreams, I never dreamed on this.

18. A book that completely shocked you.

A Small Madness | FRONT COVER (10 September 2014)A Small Madness by Dianne Touchell. Wow what a book.

 

 

 

 

i know places (1)

Loves a fragile little flame it could burn out.

19. A book you thought you loved but quickly came to hate.

jkt_9780545709392.pdfADirft by Paul Griffin. I didn’t hate the book but I didn’t love it. I thought I was going to like it more than I did. You can read my review here

 

 

 

Something happens when everybody finds out.See the vultures circling dark clouds.

20. A book you didn’t want to be seen reading.

Fifty Shades of GreyFifty Shades of Grey. I’m not even going to read it.

 

 

 

clean (1)

The drought was the very worst, when the flowers that we’d grown together died of first.

21. When the wait between books made you forget everything that happened.

Any books! Unless I start the series late and read the book just before the next book comes out.

By morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean.

22. A book/series you wiped from your memory.

AllegiantThe Divergent Trio, again because come on Allegiant. The ending was just arrrg and the book in general.

 

 

 

And Done. I tag you!!!! Anyone can do this. That was tough and long. I hope you enjoyed. You can find me on twitter at @angel_reads and on facebook and also on Instagram at angelreads. Subscribe to my email through the sidebar or follow me on bloglovin’ to keep up to date

    Ahh, this was great and I loved the way you did the graphics and the lyrics! 😀 I don’t really listen to a lot of music in general, but Taylor Swift is still pretty cool. Can’t deny how catchy Shake it Off is. xDXD
    Zomg, yes, I will never recover from We Were Liars and I think A Small Madness was so…I don’t even know how to describe it!??! Disturbing and sad and honest?!? I LIKED IT BUT WOW. And I have to admit, in retrospect I’m not such a huge fan of Tris either? I mean, I think the series was a lot about self-discover and being who you really are, BUT, that saying…I still don’t KNOW who Tris even is?!?! Just some girl who will sacrifice things for the great of good? But that’s not actually a personality. SO YEAH. I think I loved that series more while I was devouring it. *nods*

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
