This is a book tag that I saw done on YouTube and I thought it would be kind of fun to start doing some book tags on here. Reviews and wrap-ups are great, but they can get a little boring after a while. So, when I saw this I figured it would be a great little break from the norm. I'm planning on doing more of these, so stay tuned for them, and if anyone has any opinions on other book tags I could do, go ahead and either shoot me a comment/message with a link or even just the questions. They're so much fun, and I look forward to doing more!

This is a difficult one, there are so many to choose from. I think I'm going to have to go with President Snow from the Hunger Games trilogy. He was a textbook sociopath. He had no redeeming qualities at all. He was evil, simply because he had the power to be.
February (AMETHYST) Purple is associated with royalty- name a book with regal qualities (You can base this off of characters or choose the King of all books):
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, and actually all of her books to be honest, because she is amazing and her books are life! Seriously if you haven't read her books, read them. Read them now! I'll wait. I lied. I won't wait. Just go read them!
March (AQUAMARINE) Washed out- name a 'wishy-washy' character,a character who is not strong or a follower:
These are the worst characters. Like, just make up your mind, character! Either you want the thing, you don't. It shouldn't take you 4 books to decided that you are going to do the thing anyway! Stop whining and just do it, GOD! I'm talking to you Tessa from the After Series by Anna Todd. I mean sure, I get why she was so back and forth with Hardin, but seriously, she was the worst! (But I loved the series. Why do I do this to myself?)
April (DIAMOND) A diamond in the rough-name a book you loved but isn't well known:
Easily hands down, the Elfhunter Series by C.S. Marks. I could literally talk about C.S. Marks and Elfhunter for days. It is tied with Lord of the Rings for favorite book series of all time. I have to stop before I even start, because I could write an entire novel about how much I love that series.
May (EMERALD) Said to balance energy-name two characters who balance each other well:
Again, there are so many, how do I choose just one? I'm going to go with Courtney and Vanessa (or Courtney and Ethan) from the Gem City Series by Nicole Campbell. It's a new little known series that I happened upon while choosing books to read for review. The series is adorable. Courtney is a nervous introvert who over-analyzes everything. Vanessa (her BFF) is so extroverted and high energy, and Ethan (her love interest) is so laid back and go-with-the-flow, that they both balance her out and bring her out of herself. It's amazing and I recommend the series 100%. (It's a super feel good contemporary story. Look for the reviews of all three books coming soon!)
June (PEARL) Associated with loyalty-name a character who is loyal to the end:
I'm going to go with Harry Potter. Throughout the entire series he remains loyal to his friends and loved ones. He is loyal to himself as well, never straying from what he believes in. He continues to have faith in people, despite the fact that some people *glares at Dumbledore* may not fully deserve his loyalty. He only ever thinks of everyone else as his life is constantly put on the line.
July (RUBY) Blood red-name a book which made your blood boil,made you very angry:
This one is really difficult, there aren't very many books that make my blood boil. I was going to say the After Series because I was so angry while reading that book, but despite what I may say, I actually loved it. So as angry as it made me, it's not fair to use it, since I didn't hate it? I feel like this answer has to be a book that I just loathed so entirely, that I couldn't even finish it. I'm going to go with The Immortal Instruments, sorry not sorry. I know everyone seems to have loved this series, but I just couldn't. It's so awful. Clary is annoying. Jace is pompous. The plot is atrocious, and all over the place. It was just unbearable.
August (PERIDOT) Pale green-name a supporting character you liked better than the main character:
Alice from Twilight. I hated Bella. I really did. Edward was slightly easier to stomach, but still difficult to connect with. Alice was just so easy to like. She had personality, and she was quirky. By far, the best character in the entire series.
September (SAPPHIRE) Blue like the ocean which is calming-name a book that had a calming effect on you:
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, the entire series (including The Hobbit). Whenever I read this series, it's like coming home and being wrapped in a warm blanket. I just love it so much. A close second would be Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie.
October (OPAL) Name an iredescent book with a beautiful cover this can be a book with a beautiful cover (Shiny? Lots of color?) or you can base it off as a character (lively,quirky):
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I love that cover. The entire book is just gorgeous. I haven't read it yet - to be honest I haven't even read the Grisha Trilogy yet - but the black page edges, and the cover it's just so beautiful!
November (TOPAZ) Associated with resilience-name a book with character who rises to the top in a time of adversity:
I'm gonna go with Tris, from the Divergent Trilogy. She started out so unsure, and out of her element, but she worked so hard, and overcame so much. After everything she had to go through, she still kept fighting.
December (BLUE ZICRON) Associated with friendship-name a book with a friendship you wanna be a part of:
There are so many. It's hard to pick just one. I never really had a big group of friends growing up. The fictional characters in my books were always my best friends. If I have to pick just one, I suppose I would have to go with Charlie's group from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. They remind me the most of tiny group of misfit friends. They are all so quirky and out there, and they really just don't care. They are themselves and they really couldn't care less what anyone thinks of them. They do as they please and that's that.
Hope you all found that as fun and interesting as I did. In the next couple of weeks I'm going to be posting some reviews and a March update. Lots of exciting things coming soon!
Until next time, happy reading!
