Tag Tuesday: Book Lovers Tag

I was tagged a while ago by Azee @Under Cover Critique (2/12/15 to be exact!).  I haven't been doing tags for a while and I thought I'd start to get back into them!  I won't be tagging people for the older tags because they've probably been done by everyone already but if you haven't done a tag that you really like, consider yourself tagged!  And with that, let's get into it!

Tag Tuesday: 12 Days of Books Tag

I saw this tag back in 2014 at Ashley's blog: Falling Down the Book Hole!  It looked different and fun so I thought I'd give it a try!  Also, a bit of a note, I started this tag in October (I know, I know, I'm really slow at these things) and just now, on the 18th, Ashley posted this year's edition of the tag!  You can find that post HERE.  Same questions (unless I somehow am not able to read correctly today) except for 2015 and not 2014.  Enjoy!

Tag Tuesday: The Coffee Book Tag

I was tagged back in March by Cristina at Girl In The Pages!  Basically you just find books for the particular categories relating to coffee!  I really like coffee (although hot chocolate will always hold a special place in my heart) so I can't wait to get started!

Tag Tuesday: The Seven Deadly Sins Tag

In this tag you just answer seven questions relating to the seven deadly sins: Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, Lust, and Envy!  Thank you to Rose at Paranormal Books for tagging me back in January!  Sorry I'm just getting to it now... but anyway, let's get into it!

Tag Tuesday: Book Boyfriend Tag

I was tagged by Angelina and Jessica at My Crazy Reading Obsession back in February!  See, I AM getting caught up!  So basically, you just answer the questions!  I'll be answering the original questions (not the ones that Jessica and Angelina answered.

The Heroine Tag

I was tagged back in November by Haley and Cari over at My Addiction: Books!  I'm trying to catch up on my tags so if you tagged me a while ago, don't worry, I'm getting to it!  So anyway, thanks Cari and Haley and lets get started!

The Bedtime Book Tag

I saw this tag over at Lauren's blog Always Me a couple months ago and thought it looked pretty fun so here we are!  You just answer a bunch of questions related to sleeping and books!  I'm not going to tag anyone in particular but if you'd like to do it, be my guest!  It's a really fun tag!

The Ultimate Book Tag

Hello there everyone!  So I saw this tag a while back on Veronika's blog at Reading is Dreaming With Open Eyes and it looked really fun!

All you have to do is answer 25 book related questions.  Here we go!

Tag Tuesday: Book Blogger Confessions Tag

Here are the rules:
1.  Answer all the questions truthfully.
2.  Tag five other book bloggers!

Thank you so much Tia at Read It Write Now for tagging me all those months ago!  Sorry, I'm just getting to it now!

Tag Tuesday: Random Questions Tag

I was tagged by the gals over at Fangirling Misses!  I'm sorry this is so late... I'm just catching up on everything!

I'll be answering 18 random questions!

Taylor Swift Tag

It's time for another tag!  I saw this tag over At Reading is Dreaming with Open Eyes and thought it looked pretty fun considering I'm pretty much a hard-core Swiftie :D  That and a bunch of other people/bands... but they don't have tags do they??  So anyway, hop on over to Veronika's post to see her answers and where the tag came from and all that jazz.  Also, like Veronika did, I'll put the songs in here too so you can listen to them if you like and haven't heard them before!  Let's get started!

TBR Tag

I first saw this at Books Equal Awesomeness back on September 27th!  Since then, I've been seeing it everywhere so I decided to give it a shot!  I was also tagged by the lovely Cari over at My Addiction: Books waaay back in October.  It was originally created by Rachel at A Perfection Called Books and Dana at Dana Square.

#TenBookChallenge

I saw this tag over at Fangirling misses and it was a... sort of open tag?  So I decided to do it anyway because it looked like so much fun and I just don't like following rules... So here are the rules!

“List 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Do not take more than a few minutes and do not think too hard. They do not have to be the “right” books or great works of literature, just ones that have affected you in some way. Paste these instructions and tag 10 friends, including me, so I can see your list.”

This was... beyond difficult.  There are so many more I wanted to include but alas.  Here we go (in no particular order)!

The Zombie Apocalypse Tag!

I was nominated by Tia at Read it Write Now!  I was nominated back in August... yeah I'm pretty behind on tags... I'm getting better though!  So here are the rules in the lovely Miss Tia's words:

"So the rules are basically that you choose 5 books from your physical book shelf and each book will have two questions. You flip through the book to a random page and the first name you see will be the answer to that question. For example: "Who is the first to get shot?" *opens to random page* Day from Legend!"

So there you go!  Let's get this party started!

The books I choose are...

Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz

The Giver by Lois Lowry

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

Tag Tuesday: The Social Media Book Tag

I first saw this over at Reading is Dreaming With Eyes Open back in August (I know, I'm so behind on tags...)!  It was originally created at Faulty Devices.  All you have to do is answer the bookish question for each form of social media!

20 Things You Might Not Know About Me Tag!

Thank you to the Misses (specifically Belle AKA Miss Bloodsucker) over at Fangirling Misses  and Carina at My Addiction: Books for tagging me!  Basically, you just answer the 20 questions!

1.  How tall are you?
~  5'5" at the last measurement!

2.  Do you have a hidden talent?  If so, what?
~  Uhmmmm... does reading count??  I can't even whistle... please tell me I'm not the only one!

3.  What's your biggest blog-related pet peeve?
~  The stupid scheduling thingy on blogger doesn't work all that well so I have to go in manually every day to post the post for the day.  I mean, I'm already in blogger already, but still.

4.  What's your biggest non-blog related pet peeve?
~  When people automatically assume that I'll do anything they ask me to because I have literally nothing going on in my life except doing their bidding.  It's so annoying!

5.  What's your favorite song?
~  WHY?!?!  I have so many!!  Right now, I'm really liking...
Cool Kids by Echosmith
Amnesia by 5 Seconds of Summer
Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling ft. Lizzy Hale
Superheroes by The Script

6.  What's your favorite Etsy shop that isn't yours?
~  I've actually never used it before...

7.  What's your favorite way to spend your free time when you're alone?
~  You even have to ask??  Why, reading of course!  I also just like laying on my floor and listening to music trying to think deep thoughts (usually I end up spacing out and falling asleep).

8.  What's your favorite junk food?
~  Candy corn and chocolate!!  Oh and popcorn!!  I just discovered this new thing that isn't really new called Skinny Pop and it's so good!  With this wonderous Skinny Pop, I can eat more popcorn and not feel guilty hehe xD

9.  Do you have a pet or pets?  If so, what kind and what are their names?
~  Yes I do!  I have two tabby kitties named Tiger and Smokey :)

10.  What are your number one favorite nonfiction and fiction books?
~  I've honestly started to hate this question.  I can never choose!  I guess I really love the Throne of Glass series.  And as for nonfiction... I really don't read a lot of that...

11.  What's your favorite beauty product?
~  I actually don't use much makeup... I just put this lotion/sunscreen stuff on my face, lotion on my hands, and eos on my lips.  So I guess lotion... I don't think I could live without it - my skin is always so dry!

12.  When were you last embarrassed?  What happened?
~  I don't even know...

13.  If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
~  HOT CHOCOLATE!!!  I may have a slight addiction.

14.  What's your favorite movie?
~  I love all of the Marvel Movies especially the Iron Man and Avengers and X-Men series'.

15.  What were you in high school: prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, prep?
~  I don't really know this either.  I'm sort of a combo of all that...  Well except cheerleader and jock and prep and prom queen.  I did use to be a loner and I am in band and I am sort of a nerd and an artist... yeah I have no idea.

16.  If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
~  Paris!!

17.  PC or Mac?
~  I have a PC and it's pretty good I guess.  I've used Mac's too and they're good too...  Wow I'm so indecisive.

18.  Last romantic gesture from a crush, date, boy/girlfriend, spouse?
~  My last boyfriend got me a stuffed panda from Washington DC.  He's my ex now though so I gave it back :P

19.  Favorite celebrity?
~  Jennifer Lawrence!  She's so funny and down to earth.  I love watching all of her interviews :)

20.  What blogger do you secretly want to be best friends with?
~  Well Belle and I are besties already and I'd like to say I'm friends with all of the misses because they're all just so awesome!  Carina and I are besties too!  She's so sweet and I love her blog design!  I'd also love to be friends with Anna over at Enchanted by YA(she's so nice and amazing and I love reading all of her posts!) and Lady Bee at Let Books Bee (seriously, Lady Bee and Let Books Bee?  Isn't that just so amazing and adorable??  I love the theme of her blog!)!

Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

This will have already come out by the time this post goes live but I'm out of book money so I'm not sure if I'll be able to buy it!  I've been so pscyched for this book for months now ever since I read the first two books in the series (Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight).  If you haven't read this series, GO NOW!

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

The Book Blog Memory Challenge Tag

I wasn't officially tagged or anything but I saw Amber at My Bookshelf Is Hungry doing it and she tagged everyone so here we go!  Oh and I believe GloriaTheViolinist started it all so head on over there!

I really, really, REALLY tried not to cheat :D

1.  When Angel's Fail by Michael Benavidez (if I hadn't read that book and reviewed it so recently... it would have been a real tough question to answer my friend!)
2.  Eragon by Christopher Paolini.  That ones a no-brainer for me!  Oh and I'm sorry if I get some author's names wrong - I'm dong this no-cheating thing 100%!
3.  Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (well I guess the co-main character was George...)
4.  The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith.  HA!  I only got that one because I just did that review!
5.  ...Uh...Does it count that the Embrace series' author is from Australia?  Well at least I think she is...
6.  Why is this one so hard??  I'm sure I've read one...
7.  Easy peasy - Defy by... somebody!
8.  THE ONE BY KIERA CASS!!!  I didn't even have to TRY!
9.  Looks up eponymous... so it looks like it's when the character's name is part of the title.  So I'll go with Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore.
10.  The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - so sad!



I tag all you wonderful people who are reading this and haven't done it yet!  GO DO IT NOW!  Hehe just kidding... but really - it's fun!
