Hi guys. During this week the weather has started to cool down, rain is pouring and the wind is blowing like crazy. It is definitely autumn in the Netherlands. Which means chai teas and cozy sweaters. And...Halloween! October is going to be an amazing month, and eventhough the month has already started and we're already 9 days into this month, I still wanted to kick of with a book tag. I haven't been tagged by anyone in particular, but I still wanted to do it because I thought it was a lot of fun. I hope you'll enjoy (:
The questions
For this question I have chosen Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. Now it has been a while since I have read this book, but for what I can remember I really enjoyed it. It is de sequel to Delirium. The story follows Lena, who lives in a world where people believe love to be the deadliest disease. Love is a curse and needs to be cured. Luckily for Lena she will be cured relatively soon. But during that time, she falls in love. I absolutely loved the first book and I thought the second one was good too, but the first one was definitely better in my opinion.
2. Sweater weather: What book keeps you warm?
A book that I have totally devoured was The fifth wave by Rick Yancey. I have read this book in one sitting. The story, the characters, I found this book to be really clever and captivating. I absolutely loved this and it kept me thinking about it for a long time. I couldn't put it down before I had finished the entire book. This book is definitely up there, and I'm actually kind of scared to read the sequel since I'm afraid it won't be as good as the first book.
3. Fall storm: Choose your favorite book or genre that you like to read during the colder months.
You probably already see this coming, but my favorite genre is horror or thriller/suspense. No matter if it is the classig Dracula or Frankenstein, or a more recent YA horror or thriller book. I'm always up for a little scare. The colder months are the best for reading steampunk/horror/thriller and puts me in a great mood. Now a bit of vampires and blood is also appriciated. So definitely the more angsty books.
4. Cool crisp air: Who is the coolest character you'd want to trade places with?
A bad-ass character I always wanted to be is actually really difficult for me to choose, since there are quite many. Katniss Everdeen or Alice Bell for instance are characters I loved. They kicked some ass and where strong and indipendant. I didn't find them really annoying. So I'd like to one of them.
5. Hot apple cider: What under hyped book do you want to see become the next biggest, hottest book?
All the truth that's in me by Julie Berry. I haven't heard anything about this book and that's sad. This book is absolutely beautifully written and the plot was really interesting. I really enjoyed this book, it was really good and kept me thinking. Sometimes I didn't follow the story that well, I was pretty thrown offguared but it was a great book. Also the main character was amazing and strong. Definitely recommend this book!
6. Warm,cozy bonfire: What book did you think you didn't like but fell in love with?
Yet again a hard question. My friend told me about the Vampire acedamy series by Michelle Read. I was really sceptical at first, because not having finished the Twilights series because of the annoying main character, I wasn't really looking forward to read yet another vampire story. At this point the only good book I had ever read about vampires was Dracula by Bram Stoker. But it was actually a pretty good series. I have only read the first two books, but already the series is really good. But I have to say the Dutch covers are way more beautiful.
7. Frigthnening evenings: What book is your favorite scary book/ what scary book would you like to read next?
I can't wait to finally read either The Merciless by Danielle Vega or Between the devil and the deep blue sea by April Genevieve Tucholke. Both are super promising and supposed to be scary/thrilling. But first I need to finish a book for my upcoming English test. (:
