The Seven Deadly Sins Tag

So I have another tag here, and I have been tagged by Ely @ A Book So Fathomless to do the Seven Deadly Sins Tag! So this is going to be a lot of fun, getting to know all the bad things about myself and books! Well maybe, I haven't looked over these questions yet, so I'm going to just wing it!

Greed - What is your most inexpensive book?

Uh. Um. I don't exactly remember? Does this count free books from Christmas? e-books? This question is pretty unspecified, but Ely and Chami counted that as free, so I'll just go with The Book Thief, which I received for Christmas.


Wrath - What author do you have a love/hate relationship with?

I honestly have not read many books by the same authors, so if I were to go with someone off the top of my head, it's gonna be John Green.


Even saying his name, I feel bad for putting him on this list, but then not at all! I did love TFIOS, but I didn't like how it's so hyped up. And then I didn't really connect with Looking for Alaska, even though I went to boarding school myself.


Sloth - What book have you neglected reading due to laziness?

Oh I know this one. 11/22/63. And then there's also Shatter Me, but I had the huge Stephen King book for over two years now, and it's just waaaaaay too many pages for me at the moment.




Pride - What book do you like to talk about to sound like an intellectual reader?

Definitely Pride and Prejudice. It's basically the only classic I've read (though it was required) and I enjoyed. OH and also the Quiet book. 


Lust - What attributes do you find attractive in male or female characters?

SEXYNESS AND HOTNESS YES.



Ok, but for real, probably someone who has courage and is dark and mysterious in some way? Yeah, you can tell I haven't had many book boyfriends. Or I just love everyone (or hate them).


Envy - What book would you most like to receive as a gift?

EVERY BOOK THAT EVER EXISTED JUST GIVE THEM ALL TO ME!


I do want Clariel, you know, the one with the Australian cover. Thanks. *hint hint*

Two tags down, three more to go! Also, I checked you guys' blogs, and you have not done this tag yet! Therefore YOU ARE REQUIRED (just kidding) to fill this one out! Muhahaha.

Of course, this tag is open to anyone else who wants to do it! It's fun fun I promise!

*sends you every book ever* Do I past the friend test? Can we talk about things other than the weather now? :P

Anyway, seriously - your answers are just perfect. Especially that last one - I totally wish I could send you the Aussie cover of Clariel :D

Also, you posted this on my birthday. Sign from the Universe? I THINK SO.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ELY!
YES we pass the friend test muhahah! Hahah but we were already friends yes? NO WE CANNOT. just kidding. How was breakfast this morning?

DO YOU LIVE IN AUSSIE ELY? DO YOU? Honestly I don't even know if it's out!
I'm eating breakfast right now...so I'd say it's good.

YES. YES I DO. And yes, it is out - I saw it the other day.
IT'S OUT ALREADY?? I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE ONLINE GAH
I was wondering why you were typing the date...and then I realised that was a book. WOAH. LIKE 900 PAGES?!!! What a monster of a book. I would be terrified of it too.

Ohhh, but I'm glaring at John Green right now because his latest vlog was about him not-liking-Batman. I mean. WHAT. How can a person not like Batman? I'm upset.

I KNOW. I got this book for Christmas because I asked for it before I knew that YA books were actually good. BUT YEAH IT'S HUGE. I have no idea when I'll ever read it, sadly.

HAHAHAHHA I don't follow his vlogs, but I'm sorry you were disappointed in him! If it makes it any better, I LIKE BATMAN.
Best answer for Envy - EVER!! LOL, that would be absolutely perfect :D And the thoughts of a reading a 900 page book actually scares me - which really doesn't help when I see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sitting in the middle of my TBR pile, eep! Thanks for tagging me Val, I'll definitely try and write this one up over the weekend :D

I LOVE THAT GIF TOO HAHA. And I would definitely want every book in the universe because why not. Hey I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with Harry Potter! You'll breeze through it, and it'll feel like it was only 200 pages!
Ha, I honestly have no idea how I would answer some of these, I have such bad memory for books I've read these days! Except the laziness one is probably all the unread ARCs waiting for me while I instead play on the internet ;-)
1 reply · active 546 weeks ago
HA I always procrastinate via the internet, it's bad. I also have a ton of unread ARCs that I'm just like nah. I'll read them later.
Yay, tags! Um, I want all the books too. How are we going to get them? I mean, I don't want to have a get a job or something crazy ;) The inexpensive one is SO hard, because there are lots of free books, lots of 99 cent books, and I even got one for 31 cents once, and I thought that was incredibly odd. And I am with you- 900 pages is too long. TOO LONG. Make it a TV mini-series, Stephen King. I like when you do that!

We're just going to HAVE TO RULE THE WORLD, and then make them bring us all the books. And construct a library. And get people to put the books in there for us. AND YES THAT QUESTION WAS SO HARD, I honestly don't understand it. I get books for free from people, so I guess that counts??? hahaha 31 cents. I haven't read or watched anything by Stephen King, so blah
Well I have an extra copy of Clariel if you live in the states (sorry its not the Aussie cover)
1 reply · active 546 weeks ago
Hahah I do live in the states, but I'll wait to buy the Aussie cover (Tabitha don't offer me books you will regret it hahahah)
IT'S A TITANIC GIF! AHHH! *fangirls*
Anyway... I completely agree with all your answers Val. John Green is a fantastic author and writes flawlessly, but, at the same time, his endings are always so heart-breaking, you know?
And you definitely need to read Shatter Me. There have definitely been some varied thoughts on it, but I'm interested in seeing how you feel about it. It's a fantastic series, and I can't wait for you to jump on the bandwagon! :D
Thanks for sharing Val!

HAHAHAH YES THE TITANIC! Yeah that's exactly how I feel! Well, I mean I don't mind them (because I'm heartless), I just think he's hyped up a lot, and it's just going to be the cover of YA from now on. AND I WILL BE READING SHATTER ME! One day. I have the book!
Thanks for commenting Zoe <3
I kind of know what you mean about John Green, I've heard that from a lot of people. Even though TFIOS is amazing, I've heard some of his other books are hyped up too much. Glad you enjoyed Pride and Prejudice, I read it in high school and really enjoyed it then as well. Plus we get to watch Lizzie Bennett Diaries for the amazing <3
1 reply · active 546 weeks ago
I LOVE THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES! BUT I STOPPED WATCHING HALFWAY BECAUSE LIFE! I should continue over the winter break or something. And yeah that's kind of why I have a love hate relationship with him, but ah well.
