Since the final installment of The Lunar Chronicles has finally been released (I am still in denial about that), I thought a Lunar Chronicles book tag would be a great celebration. I first saw Brittany do this tag on The Book Addict's Guide.
CINDER | The cyborg
a book that’s often misunderstood or underappreciated
Allegiant by Veronica Roth
Not many people can appreciate the ending to this book, which is why I put it on here. But after I got over the shock, I got it.
KAI | The prince
ADRI | The evil stepmother
a book with a horrible/cringe-worthy parent
The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes
I do think that a father who cuts off his daughter's hands qualifies as cringe worthy.
IKO | The spunky sidekick
a book with your favorite happy-go-lucky character
Ollie from Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas
This one was harder than I thought. I read a lot of books with dark characters. But Ollie is pretty optimistic. I love him!
SCARLET | The rescuer
a book with a character on a mission
Vianne and Isabelle from The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
Yes, technically it is cheating since I listed two characters, but whatever. Both girls helped the Jewish people of France in their own ways. I adored this book!
WOLF | The fighter
a book with a
brutal fight (with words or fists)
The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
a book with the absolute worst villain
A Court of Thorn and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
It was really hard to come up with a villain as heinous as Levana, but I think I succeeded. The villain in this one was pretty awful.
THRONE | The rascal
a book with the biggest schmoozer
Wesley from The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Is there a bigger schmoozer than Thorne? Not at all. But Wesley comes pretty close. He is pretty smooth.
CRESS | The hacker
a book about technology, or sci-fi
The Six by Mark Alpert
a book with an illness or revolving around medical issues
Inside the O'Briens by Lisa Genova
One of the saddest books I have ever read. This one is about a father's diagnosis of Huntington's disease.
WINTER | The unsound mind
a book with the craziest character you’ve ever read
Joe from You by Caroline Kepnes
Joe is a pretty crazy stalker guy, but you know what? I can't even help but like him.
JACIN | The soldier
a book with a military theme
What an amazing selection of titles, Cynthia! You have been a busy bee this year, and a discerning little one at that. Congrats on your reading choices! And a Merry Christmas to you and yours <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramona! Merry Christmas to you as well.
DeleteOoh what a fun tag! I totally second The Sacred Lies for evil stepmother. HER FATHER WAS THE WORST. AND I'll Meet You There - yes!! Basically I second all your choices. Thanks for sharing, Cynthia! <33
ReplyDeleteMelanie, oh man I have never quite seen parents as bad as the one in The Sacred Lies. That was so insane! Thanks Melanie!
DeleteAh I love that there's a Lunar Chronicles book tag!
ReplyDeleteHAHA, THORNE. I love that it's Wesley from Princess Bride. I love them both. (But yes, Thorne will always be hilariously awesome and schmoozy).
Cyn, oh yes, Thorne is my favorite character ever! I love his banter and how schmoozy he is. But Wesley comes in at a close second.
