Book Blogger Confessions Tag

I haven't done a book tag in forever on my own blog, nor have I done one here so I thought I would give this one a whirl.


WHICH BOOK MOST RECENTLY DID YOU NOT FINISH?

That would have to be Midnight Jewel.  I was able to read enough to grasp that it wasn't a continuation of the series, but just a book covering the same events in the perspective of a different girl.  It honestly was a bit boring after a while.


WHICH BOOK IS YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE?

I have a ton of guilty pleasure books, but the one I probably go back to the most would have to be Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.  This is one of the books that got me into reading YA so it holds a special place in my heart.


WHICH BOOK DO YOU LOVE TO HATE?

Hate to say it but this one goes to Caraval.  I just couldn't get why people absolutely loved this book and I was so confused by what was going on.


WHICH BOOK WOULD YOU THROW IN TO THE OCEAN?

Plain and simple, Nerve by Jeanne Ryan.  This is another book that I had no idea what was going on, and I could not stand the main character.  Sad to say, but the movie was definitely better than this book.


WHICH BOOK HAVE YOU READ THE MOST?

That would probably be a toss-up between Shiver or City of Bones.  I have read both of these books so many times that I reluctantly had to replace both of my tattered paperback copies and purchase some more durable hardcovers to replace them.


WHICH BOOK WOULD YOU HATE TO RECEIVE AS A PRESENT?

This is such a bad question because there are so many books out there that I would not like to get, but I would have to say that I would hate to get any of the 50 Shades books.  I'm not a big romance fan, nor am I a fan of what goes on in these books.


WHICH BOOK COULD YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT?

Do I have to pick just one?  I couldn't even count on my fingers and toes all of the books that I love with my whole heart.  I would have to say I could not live without Obsido.  I love Amie and Jay's writing and how many plot twists are in this book, but I also get a bunch of Marie Lu's beautiful artwork to gaze at.


WHICH BOOK MADE YOU ANGRIEST?

I may have to opt out of this one as I can't really think of a book that made me that angry.  Oh wait..... Allegiant...  Need I say more?  I ended up denting my wall because I threw my copy I was that frustrated by it.


WHICH BOOK MADE YOU CRY THE MOST?

The Dire King by William Ritter.  I am a huge Sherlock fan and fell in love with this Sherlock retelling.  The last book in this series wrapped up everything so beautifully that I couldn't help but shed some tears for the characters I had grown to love over the years.


WHICH BOOK COVER DO YOU HATE THE MOST?

There are SO many of these that it makes it so hard to pick just one.  I am a big sucker for pretty covers so I hate when covers aren't up to snuff.  I'm going to have to go with a general author's covers because I have noticed a trend with their books, but I'm going to have to say Laini Taylor's books.  For some reason I cannot stand the US covers of her books.  I actually have all the UK editions of her books because I prefer those covers over the other ones.



Tag yourself! I would love to hear your answers to the questions above!
