I love doing #booktags on Instagram so I have decided to incorporate them to my blog as well. After much research I have decided to take over the Totally Should've #BookTag, yeah! Thanks to Emmmabooks on YouTube for creating this super fun tag. So make sure to head on over to her channel and check out the video that originated this tag.
I'll wait...
Totally Should've #BookTag
This tag is comprised of 11 questions for us to complain about things that didn't get from all of our favorite books. So, here we go!
1. Totally should've gotten a sequel
And we are starting on the wrong foot....I tend to veer towards reading series so I cannot think of a single standalone that I would have loved to have a sequel to...I know. I need to read more!2. Totally should've had a spin off series
Everyone is going with Harry Potter. And yeah it was a great series and everything but after reading Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and being seriously let down I will have to go a completely different route*.
Throne of Glass needs a spin-off. Not about Chaol, or Lysandra, or Rowan and his Cadre...but Manon Blackbeak and the Thirteen. Not that I would love to read. Please tell me I am not alone!
* Sorry. Not sorry!
3. An author who totally should write more books
4. A character who totally should've ended up with someone else
Tessa* I kid you not, Clockwork Angel has been the only book to piss me off. I threw that damn thing at the wall as soon as I forced myself to finish it. Argh!
5. Totally should've ended differently
After much thinking....and quite some time of contemplation, I cannot, for the life of me, think of a book I would have liked to have ended differently. I am sure, no doubt, that there is a book that I wish had a different ending but I am drawing a blank.
Help!
6. Totally should've had a movie franchise
Daughter of Smoke & Bone has such movie potential! It has great world building, character development, romance, war, betrayal. Aah, I can already picture it! Akiva and Karou. Laini Taylor, make this happen!
7. Totally should've had a TV show
I often base my liking of a book on whether or not I can picture it as a TV show (which says something* since I do not watch TV**). I can throw a plethora of book series names at you that I would love to see on my TV like Throne of Glass***, ACOTAR, The Luncar Chronicles, etc. But being that I have to pick one...well, I would love, love, looooooove to see The Raven Cycle come to life!! I mean, Gansey, Blue, the ever-so-amazing Ronan, Noah. And let’s be honest we ALL want to hear The Murder Squash Song...yeah? Yeah!
And we also need The Lunar Chronicles...I need Iko. Iko is my spirit animal!
* What exactly? I have no clue!
** Except for Supernatural…because Dean and Cass...need I say more?
*** The series will be called Queen of Shadows and will be made by Hulu...which means that I have to buy a Hulu subscription ...argh! ACOTAR has also been optioned...so…
8. Totally should've had only one point of view
I cannot think of a single book with multiple POVs that didn’t do it for me. I keep hearing Allegiant was a good example of bad use of multiple POVs...but I didn’t make it past book 2 so I saved myself the pain to go through it.
9. Totally should have a cover change
The Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I love the series and all but those covers do not do the books any justice! I don’t think any of JLA’s books have a nice looking cover at all. The Lux series also has terrible covers.
10. Totally should've kept the original covers
The Bone Season series. I am a visual person. Give me colors! I love the first editions of The Bone Season books. The simpleton white covers just don’t do it for me. I do not like the lack of color. No umph what.so.ever!
