The Book Sacrifice Tag!

Hello, internet! It's been a few weeks since I posted something, and I thought I should do a tag!

The rules are simple: You are given a scenario in which you have to sacrifice a certain book. That's it. If the book I sacrifice is a favorite of yours, then sorry. We're both entitled to our opinions, and that's totally fine.

Scenario 1: Let's start this off with a Zombie Apocalypse! Let's say you're in a book store, just
browsing, when BAM! ZOMBIE ATTACK. An announcement comes over the PA System saying that the military has discovered that the zombies' only weakness is over-hyped books. What book that everyone else says is amazing but you disliked do you start chucking at the zombies knowing that it will count as an over-hyped book and successfully wipe them out?
Answer: Please, please don't hate me. I choose the Maze Runner series by James Dashner. I read the first book, and it really wasn't interesting to me. Maybe someday I'll try reading it again, and maybe I'll like it, but for now I choose that book.

Scenario 2: Let's say that you've just left the salon with an amazing new haircut! But then, a torrential downpour starts! Which sequel are you willing to use as an umbrella to save your hair?
Answer: Let me be clear about one thing: If this was an actual thing that happened, you can bet 
on your life that I would rather get my new hairdo all wet and messed up than ruin a book. But I guess I would choose Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard. It wasn't as good as the first book in the series, Red Queen, but it was still pretty good.

Scenario 3: Let's say you're in a lecture and your English teacher is going on and on about how this classic changed the world, how it revolutionized literature and you get so sick of it that you chuck the classic right at his face because you know what? This classic is stupid and it's worth detention just to show everyone how you feel! What Classic did you chuck?
Answer: So far, nothing. I'm not really a classics reader, and my school doesn't really make us read classics.

Scenario 4: Let's say that you're hanging out at the library when BAM global warming explodes and the world outside becomes a frozen wasteland. You're trapped and your only chance for survival is to burn a book. What is the book you first run to, your least favorite book, what book do you not fully regret lighting?
Answer: One more thing: I would always regret burning a book. But, I did not enjoy Splintered  by A.G Howard. At all. If you look back at my October wrap up, you'll find a mini-review about it. The sparknotes version: it was confusing, too fast, bad development, bad characters, glorified mental illnesses (it disgusted me) and the "love interests" were actually just bad people. So that is the book I would burn.

 And that brings us to the end of another (albeit short) post. Again, these are just my personal opinions, and if I mentioned any of your favorite books in this tag, I apologize. I might someday try reading those books again, and maybe my mind will be changed. But for now, it's not happening. Thanks for reading,
-Ari

The Burn for Burn Trilogy by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian Book Review

Image
This review contains spoilers for the Burn for Burn Trilogy: Read at your own risk Hello, internet! I'm going to start off by saying this: if you have not read the Burn for Burn trilogy, go read it now! It's is very very good, and even though the ending of the third book frigging sucks, it's still worth your time. I give it 4 3/4 stars. The Burn for Burn trilogy focuses on three girls: Kat, Lillia, and Mary, who are all looking for one thing. Revenge. The plot is what initially drew me into this book. Well, that and the cover. It's about getting revenge on the people who have wronged you, and it just so cliche. And you know how I'm all about those cliches. The first book is about their initial plans for revenge, but at the end, things don't go so well. I love the characters so much. Kat is definitly my favorite. She is just so kick butt, and I love that about her. The authors made Lillia a rich girl, and I love the fact that she isn't the wea...

Zenith: The Androma Saga Part 1 Review

Hello, internet! If you are involved in the community of BookTube, then you have probably heard of Sasha Alsberg a.k.a abookutopia. If you have no idea what the heck BookTube is, much less who Sasha Alsberg is, then I'll explain. BookTube is basically a community of YouTubers who's main category of video topics is books and literature. Now that you know, go browse BookTube! I recommend abookutopia (Sasha) polandbananasbooks , jessethereader , and readbyzoe . They're all amazing, and I watch them all the time. Okay, back to the original point! If you are an abookutopia fan, you will know that she is writing a book with author Lindsay Cummings called Zenith: The Androma Saga. You will also know that as of now, it is only available as an eBook and will be released in parts, which is kind of a bummer, but I'm going to read it all the same. But fingers crossed that publishers want to make it into a physical book!  Today I was able to read the first p...

August Wrap Up

Image
Hello, Internet! Ring the shame bell, go ahead, because I only finished three books this month. Shame. Now, you may be thinking, “Ariana, three books in a month is normal!” Not for me, it’s not. Le sigh, for I have been hit with a reading slump. Duh duh duuuuuuuuun! That is right, chicken pies, I have been in a reading slump for most of the month of August. I only finished two books, and I started three, but didn’t finish them. I’ll mention them in the wrap up anyway. Do you know what I’ve learned in the past three weeks? School is time consuming! And this is before my extra curricular activities. And you might have noticed that the title and thumbnail only say August Wrap Up, and not September TBR. That is simply because setting goals for me is hard. I’m am probably the biggest procrastinator you may ever have the pleasure of meeting in your life, so I am no longer going to set reading goals for fear of getting into another reading slump and letting myself and you d...
