Miscellaneous: Awards/Tags is the tagline to store random posts that don’t really belong elsewhere. They may involve tags, awards, challenges, and other book blogging nonsense.
Awards/Tags
Celebrity Book Tag
So this tag is totally geared toward a specific demographic because I am of the opinion that there are better actors than some of those listed here. But I digress.
This tag was created by Mandersonxoxo on BookTube and I was tagged by Kat @ The Impossible Girl Blog (3 months ago) and Jess @ Princessica of Books (5 months ago).
And yes, I resurrect tags.
Emma Watson — A book with a hot, kick-butt female character
Safiya and Iseult from Truthwitch. Sure I didn’t really like this book…but these two ladies were dynamic representations (except for all the sexual tension between Safi and her suitor).
Ryan Gosling— A book with the hottest male character
Uh. That baddie in Brandon Sanderson’s Firefight (he was literally fire and combustion).
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — A book with your favorite fictional book couple
I…how to answer?
Shailene Woodley — Author you’ve recently discovered and loved
Victoria Schwab.
Josh Hutcherson- Favorite short story or novella
…heightism at it’s finest.
I don’t read too many short stories or novellas, so I’ll just have to say Legion by Brandon Sanderson
Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock — Favorite Big Book (over 500 pages)
Uh, I can tell you big books I haven’t read: Illuminae, Passenger (it’s basically 500), Way of Kings (1k+), Afterworlds.
Someone buddy read Way of Kings with me so I can be held accountable. Sales pitch: it’s epic fantasy, 1k pages, intended 10 book series (I heard). …hi.
Leonardio DiCaprio — A series with the most upsetting death (NO SPOILERS)
The more proper category prompt should be “the book that has been snubbed for an award” — AM I RIGHT?
Chaos Walking Trilogy (Patrick Ness). You know. YOU KNOW.
Kristen Stewart — A book you found boring
I just think K.Stew gets typecast into boring roles.
Is it unfair to say this even though I’m not even done it? Colleen Hoover’s Hopeless. Nothing is happening. NOTHING. They jog. THAT’S IT.
Ian Somerhalder and his cat — Cutest book on your shelf
Why is this a prompt? Why are people so thirsty?!
I don’t even know how to answer this…
Jennifer Lawrence — Perfect book or series
Recently: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Hype, get on it.

Oh my, that shade towards Josh Hutcherson though. HAHA. 😂 Thank you for the tag, Joey!

Poor guy, right? He probably gets harked on in real life by media for his height, now the reading community too? Yikes. Even if it’s jokingly, it’s still mean 😦

Yeah, I agree. I mean, he isn’t one of my favorite actors in any way. But he does deserve some slack. 😓

I feel so passionately about the K. Stew issue because see seems awesome and why do people hate her?? Haha, anyways, thanks for the tag!
LikeLike
Probably dislike her by proxy of her roles she’s played (most of the characters I remember her performing aren’t peppy or exuberant or anything — just bland). But probably most notably Bella.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah, I feel like she’s been put in a box because of Bella. Admittedly, I haven’t seen any of her other movies, but she can’t be that bland in real life, can she?

FINALLY you do this tag. To be honest, I forgot I even tagged you. Ooh, I feel you on “Hopeless.” When I first read it, I liked it and gave it 4 stars but looking back, it was okay and I’m feeling 3.5 right now.
LikeLike
If it was’t for the About page, I would never know most of my tags. Although I do try to store tags in .docx files when I’m tagged. But yes, Hopeless is literally hopeless for me. Le sigh. And everyone loves Hoover too? Even more sighing.

I USED to love her so much… and then I realized all of her stories were basically the same premise. I guess I grew out of it, which is weird because she is an NA author, not YA..

There’s nothing wrong with jogging… Lol. I never thought about it that way.
LikeLike
Jogging is fine but excessive jogging to move the plot along is a bit much. I honestly only remember two things about Hopeless: jogging and she lives a very Amish lifestyle (no technology). I’m probably being unfair but ugh.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Lol. I had actually forgotten about the jogging thing before you brought it up. I just remembered their history.

“Why are people so thirsty?!” good question…

Sorry, I think I wanted to intend that everyone’s probably a bit thirsty. (Sorry, I’ve been replying back to comments for the past while and it’s all been a blur LOL.)

To be honest I’d rather have Ian Somerhalder as the hottest male character prompt not Ryan Gosling….thirsty person over here! Too true about Leonardo DiCaprio but the Josh Hutcherson prompt was so shady. Short person problems! Thanks for the tag 🙂

Okay Liam, I’ll mark that down and find you some NA picks (if I read any) featuring Ian Smoulderhalder (seee what I did there? — although that doesn’t make sense unless you watch TVD LOL). BUT WHY YOU HATING ON MY CANADIAN BUD GOSLING?!

Hey, Joey!
Thanks for the tag. I LOVE this. And you threw such shade at KStew AND Hopeless which was quite a meh read for me too!
I am really excited for this now!

Okay to be fair, I’m only saying what other people are thinking about Hopeless (well, that’s what I think at least). But I don’t hate K.Stew as an actress. She seriously does get the crap end of roles sometimes.
Typical question: “Hey can we find a plain Jane actress for this role?”
“Okay, I’m on my way” – KStew (maybe).
LikeLike
Omg the questions in this tag. lol. Why so shady.
You totally should read Way of Kings, by the way. Steep learning curve, but really worth it. You could also use it as a weapon and to exercise, so why not?
LikeLike
I KNOW I SHOULD BUT IT’S HUGE. Although Sanderson is basically the God of Pacing so I’m sure it’ll be quick once I get into it but still. What an investment.
LikeLike
Way of Kings is still sitting nicely on my nightstand telling me to read it. I positively whimper whenever I look at it, lol! When you ever decide to crack it open, let me know! 😉
LikeLike
I actually tried to read it. I got like 40 pages in and then I realized I didn’t have a review queued up to be posted and if I stuck to WoK, I wouldn’t have one for like…weeks. So I dropped it. Ugh. This is my problem with behemoth sized reads!
LikeLiked by 1 person
That’s me and doing a couple of re-reads. I realized re-reading a book doesn’t count towards reviewing books on my blog, so I had to actually pick up things I CAN review, lol. Woe is the life of a reader and reviewer!
LikeLike
Most upsetting death, yes! I’ll have to agree with you on that one. If you’re talking about the Knife though, because I haven’t read the others….so is there more deaths? (don’t really answer that) ughhh. I plan to read the second book next month and probably just read the last also.
LikeLike
I am quite stoked that you enjoyed Knife! (Anything Ness writes is like my version of your Lyga — but you already knew that.) I definitely won’t say anything about the sequels aside from Ask and the Answer being my favourite of the 3 books despite it being the slowest paced of the trilogy.

Thank you kindly for the tag, Joey, however I have already done it! (but I suppose there is no harm in doing it again…)
I agree with your thoughts on the Leonardo Di Caprio question, 100%! Haha.
And Chaos Walking… Is it the death that I think it is? I THINK IT IS.

Haha no worries Josie! That’s what I get for completing this tag months later after I’ve been tagged LOL.
It is definitely the death you think it is.

While I’d love to say that I ought to adapt an older version for this tag, I am quite familiar with the roles most of these actors/actresses have played LOL — so secretly, I do fit in the demo…
