The 12 Days of Books Tag

 

So I saw this tag over at The Bucket List Book Blog and thought that it looked like fun! Jeanna originally found this at Ashley's blog at Falling Down the Book Hole, who is also the creator. I borrowed the above image from Jeanna's blog as I've no tech skills.

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 standalone of the year?

Horror reads are always kind of fun since they're usually standalones! This one was a creepy and ghostly mystery that I positively loved!

 

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?

 

Definitely ship Tella and Legend even after all this time! Yes, I had issues with him in Finale, but I liked where things ended.

 

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?

 

I mean obviously!

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 of 2021?

 

Well, I'm only 2 books in but the 4th one is coming out next year

 

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?

 

Well, I don't typically like the villain because, you know, they're evil. So I'll go with a villain origin story that I read this year. The second installment of the Sea Witch, Evie wasn't actually "villainous" so to speak, but close enough!

 

 

ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: SIX GEESE A LAYING. 

Creation is a beautiful thing. What is your favorite world/world-building?

 

Obviously, I loved the World of Caraval!

 

 

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? Who’s your favorite animal sidekick?

 

Grimlakin still remains my favorite "animal" sidekick. Though, he probably wouldn't like being called either!

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

 

Honestly, I've never paid attention to food or beverages in books, but the one that came to mind was the Southern Vampire Mystery series with their TruBlood. That part the show got right!

 

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 female lead?

 

I'll go with Evangeline from Once Upon a Broken Heart!

 

ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: TEN LORDS A LEAPING. 

How about your favorite leading lad?

 

Well, naturally, I'm going with Jacks! He's more of a morally grey villain. I'm not sure what he's up to yet, but I can't wait to find out!

 

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?

 

I honestly could not think of anything with musical influence

 

 

 

ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: 12 DRUMMERS DRUMMING. 

Drum roll please…what is your favorite read of this year?

 

I mean, obviously!
