๐ย Hi guys, I hope you’re having a BEAUTIFUL day. Today it seemed VERY appropriate to bring you this fun book tag, made exclusively for this time of year. I feel that the questions are very entertaining to answer so I hope you like it as well. The original tag was created by Lizzie Loves Books, so check out her YouTube channel!
I need to start with this because I’m honestly super excited, it’s one of those days when I really want to do a tag lol. So, without further ado, let’s START!๐ย
ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE.
The partridge stood alone in the pear tree. What is your favorite stand alone?
||Radio Silence by Alice Oseman||
I think you all know how much I love this book, I would recommending it for the rest of my life.
It’s really great and is full of learning, love, friendship and family. READ IT!
ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: TWO TURTLE DOVES.
Love is in the air! Who is your one true pairing?

I have several OTPs that I really adore, because I’m always shipping characters lol, but I have to mentioning Karou and Akiva from Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. They’re one of the first couples that I LOVED and they’re still one of the best I’ve read about, I just love them and they’re always in my heart
ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: THREE FRENCH HENS.
In the spirit of threes, what is the best trilogy you have read?
This was so difficult to answer!, I have many trilogies to put here, but I’ve chosen The Young Elites Trilogy by Marie Lu because every time I think of these books gives me all the feels, I LOVE THIS TRILOGY. It has all the elements to be an INCREDIBLE fantasy, is too EPIC you guys and Adelina is one of my favorite female characters, she’s so strong
ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: FOUR CALLING BIRDS.
Since series usually consist of four or more books, what is your favorite series?
The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
I don’t think this needs a big explanation, I really feel that I’ve grown up with this series, in fact many of us love this series and even when it has been so many years since I read it, I still remember it with a lot of love. I need to re-read it and to revive my babies. It needs to happen!
ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: FIVE GOLDEN RINGS.
One ring to rule them all! Who is your Favorite Villain/Antagonist?
I don’t even have to think about this, The Darkling, from The Shadow and Bones trilogy, it’s not just one of my favorite villains and the love of my life(? lol, but it’s also one of my favorite characters EVER
ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: SIX GEESE A LAYING.
Creation is a beautiful thing. What is your favoriteย world/world-building?
I love the world buildings of in books, they’re super important for me and I like above all when it’s diverse as it happens in the Falling Kingdoms series, Mytica is one of the richest worlds that I’ve read, I think it’s one of the strong points of this series. Raisins from cruelly cold climates to arid areas and even places very rich in vegetation and life. I think that to travel this land and even other places of this world has been an adventure and I loved every part of it
ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: SEVEN SWANS A SWIMMING.
Who needs seven swans when all it takes is one good animal sidekick? Whoโs your favorite animal sidekick?

I don’t think I have read enough to have favorite animals but I hope this counts anyway. I love Daenerys Targaryen with all my heart and I think that her bond with her baby dragons is the best thing ever, besides, what’s more cool than having dragons at your command?!, I just love them
ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: EIGHT MAIDS A MILKING.
Milk is so 18th century. Which book or series takes beverages/food to a whole new level?
I can’t think of any book other than the Harry Potter series, I think these books are full of magic drinks, and enchanted food and I love that, it’s really fun
ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: NINE LADIES DANCING.
Dancing is just one skill of a Lady! Who is your favorite kickass female lead?

I choose Jude from The Cruel Prince by Holly Black because she’s powerful, badass, and she would do anything to achieve her goals and also, I love her. I’m so proud of her and her grows during the book. It’s one of my favorites
ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: TEN LORDS A LEAPING.
How about your favorite leading lad?

I would said Percy from Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, I really like him as a leader, I think he’s a great main character because he’s very empathetic and a good person, I think is adorable to see him growing, I really like him
ON THE ELEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: ELEVEN PIPES PIPING.
What is your favorite book or bookish thing with musical influence? (It can be about music, reference music a lot etc.)
I’m going to choose The Clockwork Prince, the second book of the INCREDIBLE Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare. I know that as you can seen on the cover Jim plays the violin, so that’s why I chose it, although I must say that it was really dificult to think about a book with a musical reference, I think I should read more about that. On the other hand, I LOVE this trilogy, without doubts, one of my favorites ever
ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: 12 DRUMMERS DRUMMING.
Drum roll pleaseโฆwhat is your favorite read of this year?

Great answers Sofii! Percy IS one of the best characters in literature. He’s sassy and take things not seriously, but very loyal and would do anything to keep others safe. And Karou and Akiva! I always have a thing for soulmates who meet again even in another life, and they are the first ones I’ve read in literature so ofc they have a special place in my heart โค

Aaaah the Darkling! If you like the Darkling, then have you read Leigh Bardugoโs Six of Crows duology? Kaz Brekker is an *amazing* character in that series that is similar to the Darkling in terms of being a very mysterious and grey character โ but a million times better than the Darkling, in my opinion. ๐ I enjoyed reading your answers to this tag!

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it! I read the first book, Six of Crows, but I still have to read the conclusion! It will be my priority for next year, because I honestly enjoyed that book very much and the characters are great!, especially Kaz and Inej (I hope I wrote them correctly lol). I love the Darkling more than anything, but Kaz is a brilliant character, no doubt ๐

*gasp* Oh my goodness, how did you have the self-control to not immediately read the second book after Six of Crows? I tore through both books because I just couldn’t stop — I would even argue that the second book is better than the first, so I would highly, *highly* recommend you read Crooked Kingdom asap! I loved it so much!
Happy reading! ๐
