Awards/Tags
The Pixar Book Tag
I don’t remember watching some of the older Pixar movies but alas I will still do this tag.
Thanks to Charley @ Books and Bakes for tagging me!
Toy Story — A book where you wanted the characters to come to life
Easy. The Knife of Never Letting Go (Patrick Ness) for… *rolls into fetal position and crys uncontrollably*
A Bugs Life— A character who goes through a transformation
Mainly because I just finished The Great American Whatever (Tim Federle), Quinn Roberts — who goes from a struggling almost to something he can be okay with.
Monsters Inc. — A strong/scary character develops a soft side for someone else
While I’d love to say The Darkling from The Grisha trilogy, he turned to shit in the second book (sorry about it). So I’ll just go with The Monster from A Monster Calls.
Finding Nemo — “P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney” A book that has an address or quote that’s burned into your memory forever
It’s probably something nerdy from Socrates or Aristotle if I’m being honest.
The Incredibles — Coolest Book Family
THE DREGS ARE A FAMILY (Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo). I WILL FIGHT YOU.
Cars 1, 2, 3 — A book that keeps getting sequels you feel are not needed
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard. Of course, after reading RQ, there -has- to be a sequel that’s for sure. But I’m not sure Glass Sword is the sequel that was needed. It’s kinda like how The Infinite Sea (Rick Yancey) didn’t really do anything [for me] in terms of plotting for The 5th Wave franchise.
Ratatouille — A book featuring a non-human/humanoid
I think this prompt is looking for a protagonist that’s non-human and I cannot think of one that I’ve read. A book I want to read that has this is The Mechanical (Ian Tregillis).
Wall-E — A book that made you lonely
WHY ARE THESE PROMPTS SUCH A DEBBIE DOWNER?
…Half a King (Joe Abercrombie)? Ugh, I don’t know.
Up — A book whose characters quickly made you become emotionally invested in
Christopher Rowe of The Blackthorn Key (Kevin Sands). I shed a tear, damnit.
Brave — Name a book with a strong mother/daughter relationship
Instead of mother/daughter, I’m going to go with an adoptive side in A.J. Fikry and Maya from The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry (Gabrielle Zevin)
Inside Out — Name a book that could be one of your core memories
The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins). It got me reading (again).

Oh, I have to agree with you about The Infinite Sea. I still have too many questions … And, I don’t know, where is the rest of that novel? It was so, short, confusing?!

This is totally irrelevant but I love how your tag pictures say “This is a tag. Literally.” Legit comedic genius. And this tag seems so fun, I love Pixar! Thanks for tagging me!

Much as I love Pixar, when are you gonna stop mentioning The Knife Of Never Letting Go, Joey? My heart can’t take this torture. And I already made my friend watery just describing THAT scene.

Never–there are just too many great moments with Ness stories that hit me in the feels which must be shared!

I like this tag. I will take it and do it for my own and claim it.
Also I am unmotivated to continued reading Grisha precisely because I expect Darkling will continue to go downhill in book 2 and it makes me sad.
LikeLike
Do it up! If you want a transparent opinion: Darkling doesn’t even get the opportunity to go downhill.

The Knife of Never Letting Go….. 😦
I really did cry uncontrollably the entire book. At one point the boyfriend had to tell me to stop crying over a book, lol.
Thanks for the tag!

Explain it to him so he’d understand–as morbid as it sounds, and knock on wood, WHAT IF IT WAS COLBY JACK? I’d cry. You’d cry. AND SURELY HE’D BE SUPER SAD TOO.

Oh, you did tag me. AND YOU MENTIONED THE DARKLING. My heart. 😭 But yeah, I agree. He was very inconsistent throughout the trilogy. Sigh, but he’s still a tragic villain.
LikeLike
I heard I’d feel more for him if I read the novellas or epilogue or something something. But alas, I didn’t, so he’s a paygrade above Mal in cardboardish.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I think I’ll be reading the novellas sometime soon. My love for the Darkling is still going strong. For my Classics course I actually chose him as the perfect tragic Greek hero and wrote a report why I thought why. XD

Great answers bro! 😀
