Effulgent | Brilliantly radiant

A BOOK WITH A BEAUTIFUL COVER

This is probably my favorite Ellen Hopkins cover to date. And this also happens to be one of my favorite books by her.

Metanoia | The journey of changing one’s mind, heart, self, or way of life

A CHARACTER WHO GOES THROUGH A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION

I feel like in every single tag, I manage to put something about the Kingskiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfus. But, I feel Kvothe goes through many, many changes over the course of the first two novels. Please, please, please, if you haven’t read them, read them to see for yourself.

Sockdolager | Decisive retort; mic drop

A CHARACTER WHO ALWAYS HAS A GOOD COMEBACK

Okay, but Ben’s friend, Dylan, always has the best responses to everything. They may not be well thought out, but they’re always amusing.

Sesquipedalian | Containing many syllables; long winded

THE LONGEST BOOK YOU’VE READ

I actually did a whole TTT for this, but The Wise Man’s Fear comes in at 993 pages.

Ephemeral | Lasting for a very short time

THE SHORTEST BOOK YOU’VE READ

I’m going to keep this one strictly to books on my shelf, and I think that would have to be One of the Boys, which is 176 pages. I remember when I ordered this, I didn’t check the page count and was expecting it to be a lot larger then it is. But, I do remember enjoying it quite a lot.

Serenity | The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled

A BOOK THAT MAKES YOU FEEL CALM AND HAPPY

I feel like this is a tough one to answer, as just about all books will get me stressed out at their main conflict points (if it’s written well, of course), but Starry Eyes defiantly made me feel calm and happy 90% of the time.

Oblivion | The state of being unaware of what’s happening around you

A NOVEL WITH A COMPLEX PLOT

I feel like anytime you involve time travel, it can get a little tricky. When I first started this, it took me a second to get the rules, but once you figure it out, you’re golden. (Also, I am NOT, by any means, saying I support this author).

Rantipole | To be wild and reckless

A RECKLESS CHARACTER

Jude was just…sigh.

 

Nefarious | Wicked, villainous, despicable

YOUR FAVOURITE VILLAIN

I feel like I’ve answered some sort of variation of this for a lot of tags I’ve done. But, I’m still going to stick with Levana.

Ineffable | Too great to be expressed in words

YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK OR BOOK SERIES

It’s hard for me to pick a single one, but here’s a quick list:

• The Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French
• Throne of Glass series by  Sarah J. Maas
• The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
• The Kingskiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss

Trouvaille | Something lovely discovered by chance

A BOOK YOU DIDN’T EXPECT TO LOVE

I was actually assigned to read this in a class, and I had no idea I’d fall in love with it and want to continue the series on my own.

Nostalgia | A wistful desire to return in thought to a former time in one’s life

A BOOK OR CHARACTER THAT MAKES YOU FEEL NOSTALGIC

I read this right before I was going into high school, and often talked about in during freshman year. The first two years of high school were great, and that’s what this reminds me of.
