A huge thank you to the lovely Ara @ The Bookish Agenda for tagging me to do this unique tag!
I love doing book tags and this particularly awesome tag allows me to combine my love of books with another thing that I absolutely adore and love — GIFs! I’m so excited to do this. EEEEP! 😀
But before I start, here are THE RULES :
- Mention the person who tagged you in your post and provide a link to their blog.
- Fill out the 9 questions in the tag.
- For each question, insert a GIF of how you feel about the book(s) or author.
- Tag 6 people and/or everyone to do this tag!
- Before you post the tag, do a five-second party dance. Cause you dat awesome! 😀
DONE MY DANCE.. NOW, LET’S START!
ONE : BEST STORY PREMISE
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It was the first DB book that I had read and in my opinion it is his best. The plot has an incredible pace and the man knows how to exercise a parallel story line.
TWO : BEST WORLD BUILDING
The Hunger Games Trilogy. No doubt. Even though Mockingjay kind of disappointed me, I was blown away by Suzanne Collins dystopian world building. To imagine a scenario like that and then turn it into a full fledged revolution! 😮
THREE : BEST CHARACTER
Harry Clifton from Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer. It takes a lot of courage and self-belief to fight social conventions since when you’re a kid. And at the end, he turned out to be a damn fine man!
FOUR : BEST SERIES
Do I even have to answer this? HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER HARRY POTTER
*runs around her room*
FIVE : BEST TEARJERKER
A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. I cried out the entire Mariana Trench while reading this book. I was left a red eyed crying mess. Just thinking about the story, makes my heart sink. 😥
SIX : BEST AUTHOR
There are WAY too many authors to pick just one. J. K. Rowling, Dan Brown and Khaled Hosseini to name a few.
SEVEN : BEST WRITING STYLE
Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner is such an incredible story. The way he brought out the emotions of the characters is nothing short of mesmerizing.
EIGHT : BEST COVER
Oh, there are just plenty! The Gift by Cecelia Ahern. Even though the cover is really simple, I just love it (even my mum loves it). Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer (not a huge fan of the series but the covers are just gorgeous).
NINE : BEST ENDING
Hmm.. I’m finding this to be the most difficult. But I think I’ll go with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
REASON : Writing an amazing series is difficult. Writing a fitting end to an amazing series is even more difficult. I’ve found myself disappointed with so many endings. But HP 7 was just too damn good!
If you’re reading this post, consider yourself tagged (don’t forget to link me up in the comments)! I’d love to hear your thoughts. Bye, to all my ultra amazing readers! 🙂
I’m so happy to find another Harry Potter fan like me 🙂 J. K. Rowling is the best.
I also love Dan Brown, the Da Vinci code is brilliant.

I’m actually not a big fan of the Twilight covers, but they did start a type of cover trend in YA that I have to give them credit for.
And I agree that Mockingjay isn’t the strongest book in the series, but I did like the ending. It was bold.
