Halloween Book Tag 2019

           Hello there guys. It's time for Halloween book tag! I know, I don't celebrate Halloween but this kind of fun thing to do. You know, tags. Plus, I'm depressed as fuck and posting mindless things is the only thing I could do to calm myself down before I do some stupid shits.

          So, yeah! Fun stuffs. Let's get on with it.

1. Carving pumpkin - what book would you carve up and light on fire?

           Gabriel Inferno by Sylvain Reynard. One word to describe the book. PRETENTIOUS. OMG. If I read one more sentence about 'frightened rabbit' or all these stupid name/brand droppings, I would seriously be considering burning this book in a burning pyre. I have no idea how people equate this to Fifty Shades. IT DOES NOT COMPARE TO FIFTY!

2. Trick or treat - what character is a treat, what character is a trick?

Trick character for me would be Poppy Hathaway from Tempt Me at Twilight (Hathaway #3). I went into that book, thinking I would like her and her story the least out of the five Hathaways book. But I was mistaken. I love Poppy and Harry's story so much!

Treat character, on the other hand, would be Mal from Play (Stage Dive #2). I don't know why but I keep thinking about him lately and his lovely antics. I missed that bloody buffoon.

3. Candy corn - what book is always sweet?

I would probably say Managed (VIP#2) by Kristen Callihan. OMG. Just talking about Gabriel Scott made me want to reread the book and experience him falling in love with Sophie Darling again. The fact that the romance was not immediately sexual and they truly get to know each other first made it all worth it for me to revisit them again.

4. Ghosts - what character would you love to visit you as a ghost?

There are two ways for me to answer this. First, the character can be alive as of this moment in their fictional world. Or the character already dead in their fictional world. For both of these answers, I would probably choose someone who's not scary, i.e. someone from a romantic comedy. For the former, I would choose Drew from Tangled (Tangled #1). I probably need his brand of humour as he roamed the world spouting his smartass remarks alongside Kate. For the latter, I would choose Charley Davidson. Mind you, she isn't dead but she sorta not here. She's in the air, waiting to be reawakened with Reyes. It's hard to explain. 

5. Dressing up in a costume - what character would you want to be for a day?

I've said this once and I'll say it again. I want to be an innkeeper. Like Dina Demille from the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews. I would be a kickass innkeeper. I want the whole inn for my own. I want to tend to it, make it flourish and love it. Plus, the power that comes with it would be a huge advantage.

6. Wizards and witches - what is your favourite Harry Potter moment?

I have a lot of favourite moments and I could not choose one without thinking of the next one. But the most memorable and the most life-changing for me would probably be in the first book. To be specific, the end of the first book. There wasn't much meaningful dialogue in the end but it promised a lot. You know when you finished a good damn book and flipped to the final page, and you read everything with an excruciatingly slow pace, basking in the whole moment knowing it was going to be a while before you jumped into another of his adventure... That's my favourite moment. Every time I finished a Harry Potter book, that final page was always my favourite moment. That very last page where words meant a whole lot and that promise of another book. Another book would leave you like that, hollow but amazingly full.

7. Blood and gore - what book was so creepy that you had to take a break from it for a while?

Mind you, I don't read books with blood and gore. Prefer watching them rather than reading about them. But I did recently read some creepy books. The one that I had in mind is The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. This book is more to a psychological thriller than horror but when the horror hits you, it hits you good. I had to read this book with lights on and music on because I couldn't stand the darkness and silence it caused. From being only words written on papers, it really did pack a solid punch.

        That is all for today guys! I have to get my sleep. Talk to you guys later.
