This looked like fun, so here, have some Taylor Swift songs paired with books.
1. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - pick a book or series that you were pretty sure you were in love with, but then wanted to break up with.
Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I tried to read it, but I just couldn't get into it and was moving so slow that in the end I just decided to give up. So we're on a break, Lestat and me. I think we'll try getting together again some day.
2. Red - pick a book with a RED cover.
Skipping this one because I'm just too lazy to find a red book and take a good picture of it, sorry.
3. The Best Day - pick a book that makes you feel nostalgic.
I'm going to have to go with Harry Potter. These are the books that really got me into reading, and these are the first books I ever read in English. I have a lot of fond memories and I just really love these. And I also keep re-reading them every few years.
4. Love Story - pick a book with forbidden love.
Mehh... I don't really like forbidden love that much I think? Or romance if it's not clearly chick lit or clearly stated that the book has romance? And I honestly can't think of a book with forbidden love right now, and I'm too lazy to start staring at my shelf.
5. I Knew You Were Trouble - pick a book with a bad character you couldn't help but love.
Ohmygod why are these questions so hard?! I wanted to say a book I haven't already picked, but I don't know if I love any bad characters in other series... But yeah, there is a character in the Inheritance Cycle who is a bit of a bad boy, in a way, and I just love him a lot. I'm not going to say who it is because he isn't "bad" until a bit later in the series, if someone hasn't read the books and doesn't want to be spoiled. I love that he isn't necessarily purely evil, but it's more the things that happened to him that made him that way.
6. Innocent (written b/c of Kanye West!) - pick a book that someone ruined the ending for.
Allegiant by Veronica Roth. I was spoiled by a freaking Youtube video by quite a popular booktuber. And the 'spoilers' warning was said after the spoiler. This kind of ruined the whole Divergent series for me, but especially the last book, as I was just waiting for the *spoiler* to happen.
7. Everything Has Changed - pick a character from a book who goes through extensive character development.
I was thinking about this for a long time, but then thought of Eragon in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. Actually, I could think of other characters in that series who develop nicely as well... but I'm gonna go with Eragon. He's really young in the start of the series, but grows and learns and I just really want to re-read this series right now, it was a bad idea to think of Eragon. (Can you tell I love this series? 'Cause I do. It's another series I grew up with.)
8. You Belong With Me - pick your most anticipated book release.
I'm going to change this one a bit because I have no idea what's coming, and pick a book I was the most excited to read this year. It's going to have to be the Scorch Trials (and the Death Cure) by James Dashner. There is no other book I could pick for this.
9. Forever and Always - pick your favorite book couple.
Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth in Persuasion by Jane Austen. I just loved this book so much and was really stressed while reading because I just wanted them to be together but everything happened and gosh I love this book.
10. Come Back, Be Here - pick the book you would least like to lend out, for fear of missing it too much.
I don't know, I don't really want to lend out any of my books, because I have so many terrible experiences with that. Just last spring/summer I realized my mother had lent out one of my books without my permission and it took forever for me to get it back. And once our dog got my old copy of Eragon out from my mother's bag and ate it (and now I have a crappy paperback instead of the beautiful hardcover and will forever be bitter about that). Ugh, never again, I feel bad even thinking about lending out my precious books. (I almost wrote babies. I could have written babies. They are my babies.)
Now, anyone with a blog, go do this, it's great fun! Or do it in the comments. :)
