First draft book tag!

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. Yes, I’m doing another tag. But, this time, I was actually tagged by MADELINE! She’s awesome. This is actually one of her original tags!

RULES: 

  • Credit the creator of the tag (The Bookish Mutant)
  • You can use her graphics (which I’m doing)
  • Answer the questions to the best of your ability
  • Tag as many people as you want
  • Have fun, and keep on reading and writing! The world needs your creativity!

I always thought the concept of Rick Riordan’s books were super fun. I love the modern characters mixed with the ancient gods/esses and myths.

Anything nonfiction always takes me forever to read. Historical fiction is fun, though.

(Hahahaha, not me)

Any books with plot twists, that actually surprise me, seems really well thought out, in my opinion.

(there I am!)

I’m just going to say, Magnus Chase. In the first, like, five or six chapters, he died.

Um, I have no clue.

Nate Expectations by Tim Federle! (highly suggest)

I tag…

I hope you guys enjoy! Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Reading habits tag

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks. Elle here. I’ve noticed that I’ve turned into more of a book blog than an art blog. I mean, I still post my art, but I post more book stuff than art stuff now. Whoops.

I found this tag at A Geek Girl’s Guide. She was tagging everyone, so I decided to give it a try!

Bookmarks or random pieces of paper?

Whatever’s nearby. I have a huge collection of bookmarks, but I forget to use them. Or lose them in the middle of the night and have to find a piece of paper before I lose my spot.

Stop reading randomly or stop after a chapter/certain amount of pages?

After a chapter! Or the whole book…

Certain place at home for reading?

My bed. I do most things on my bed, including school, even though I have a desk.

Eat or drink while eating?

Not usually.

Music or tv while reading?

I love listening to music, but I can’t always focus on the book.

One book at a time or several?

HAHAHAHA

I should read only one but then I start another and another and another.

Reading at home or everywhere?

I can and will read anywhere and everywhere. I bring some form of book with me everywhere.

Reading out loud or silently?

Silently. I do read my sister a story every night, though.

Do you ever read ahead or skip pages?

I try not to, but if I want to get to a specific part (Alex bites my face off) I’ll skip ahead.

Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Breaking the spine. It makes the book feel more loved. I remember when my dad got me The Lightning Thief, it was super worn and ripped. I thought that it would be a good book because of that fact. So, worn covers are better because they’ve been read more.

So that happened. I hope you guys enjoy. Leave a comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Hamilton Book Tag (original)

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here. Happy Fourth of July! After trying the Percy Jackson book tag, I had an idea for a Hamilton book tag and wanted to try it.

Before we begin, have you watched Hamilton on Disney+? Comment what you think, your favorite song, and favorite character! I loved it. My favorite song is either Guns and Ships or just Alexander Hamilton! My favorite character is definitely Lafayette.

Rules

  • Thank the person who tagged you and link to their post
  • Link to the original creator
  • Match books with the given prompts
  • Tag anyone you’d like
  • Copy and paste the list of prompts and rules

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. My mom walked in with it from work and I was reading it constantly.

My old sketchbooks. My old art looks so terrible, in my opinion.

The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston. If you haven’t noticed, I love her books.

The Dive trilogy by Gordon Korman. All of his books are so underrated that I’m pretty sure my best friend and I are the whole fandom.

The Percy Jackson series. One of my first fandoms. I can’t remember if Harry Potter was before or after Percy Jackson.

Heroes of Olympus! Not many guns. Unless you count the ballista. But ships? Both the kind that you ride on and the couples are very numerous.

Firestorm by Joan Hiatt Harlow. Only one, but the most plot-pointy spy it could have.

Geekerella! My namesake. Once I read all of my Libby TBR, I know that I’ll reread it.

High school musical the musical the series the novelization. Still waiting. Until I can go to Books a Million, I’ll be waiting for it.

Let’s just say that Imogen and I would be best friends. So I’d say The Princess and the Fangirl, again.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein! It has some of my absolute favorite poems. The combination of his hilarious poems and fun, simple drawings makes the book even more amazing.

I always got so sucked into Rick Riordan’s books. I would be reading in bed and before I knew it, it was way to late.

The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan! I remember having a bad day and just flipping through the pages until I got to my favorite chapter (37. Alex bites my face off).

I didn’t really want to read A Frozen Heart (book retelling of Frozen) but it was really good! Mainly because you got to see why Hans did what he did.

So there you go! Anyone is free to do this.

I hope you enjoy. Comment bellow. I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

The Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus Character Book tag!

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here with my first time trying a book tag.

Beck tagged me! Her blog is super fun and I highly suggest you check it out. Thanks for tagging me!

Rules

  • Thank the person that tagged you and link to their post.
  • Link to the original creator: May @ Forever and Everly! She also made these amazing graphics!
  • Match books with the given prompts.
  • Tag however many people as wanted!
  • Copy-paste the rules and list of prompts.

Hard choice. I’ve read a TON of great books and we’re not even close to done with the year yet. So far, I’d have to say The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston.

The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. The idea is just super fun and I enjoyed reading them!

Masterminds by Gordon Korman. It’s a great story and has a really fun writing style.

The Doctor and the Dinosaurs by Mike Resnick. I didn’t really think I’d hate it, but I wasn’t expecting to like it so much.

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. (I really hope the series does ALL of his mythology books. I want to see Leo on screen.)

The Lost Property Office by James R. Hannibal. It’s just a really cool book in general!

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. (I’m also excited to see Thalia!)

Harry Potter! What more do I need to say?

Hmm. No clue. Probably something long?

High School Musical the Musical the Series the Novelization. I cannot wait to read this! (I’m sorry I’m obsessed with this show)

Again. No clue. Comment some upcoming books you are excited for!

The Dive Trilogy by Gordon Korman. My best friend convinced me to read this and I loved it!

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I was laughing almost constantly while reading this!

Pooh Bear by A. A. Milne! I’ve had this book literally as long as I can remember.

The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan. I never wanted to finish this one!

I don’t think I have one?

Can I punch the Percy Jackson movies? No? Alright. Firestorm by Joan Hiatt Harlow. I enjoyed it, but I wanted to either cry or throw the book out the window sometimes.

I don’t really read romance? But I enjoyed Elle and Darian in Geekerella by Ashley Poston and of course Percy and Annabeth in all of Rick Riordan!

So there you go. I hope you enjoyed! Remember Look to the Stars. Aim. Ignite!
