A big thank you to Emily @ Rose Read for tagging me to do this awfully fun tag! I’ve been seeing it all over lately and now I finally get to take a crack at it. HEHE!
1. AN OVER-HYPED BOOK
Situation: You’re in a store when the zombie apocalypse hits. The military informs everyone that over-hyped books are the zombies only weakness. What book that everyone else says is amazing but you disliked so you start chucking it at the zombies?
Let’s be honest, we all loved this series when we were younger… But now? Hell no, Katniss was a whiney bitch and y’all know it too! #TeamGale
2. A SEQUEL
Situation: torrential downpour. What sequel are you willing to use as an umbrella to protect yourself?
I do not care what y’all say – this book was boring as hell! Easily, my least favorite of the series. I’m sorry but it’s a good thing Rowling learned from her mistakes with this one. It was just awful. The movie couldn’t even save it!
3. A CLASSIC
Situation: You’re in English class and your professor raves about a Classic that “transcends time”. If given the opportunity to travel back in time, which Classic would you try to stop from ever publishing?
Anything written by that man, there! And for those of you who do not recognize him – that would be Mark Twain. A great American author and someone who’s work I absolutely abhor!!! It’s soooooo dull. Why, people, why?! And to all of you English majors, don’t even try to argue with me about this one. I’ll also toss in F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Can’t stand their novels, neither!
4. A LEAST FAVORITE BOOK
Situation: apparently global warming = suddenly frozen wasteland. Your only hope of survival for warmth is to burn a book. Which book will you not regret lighting?
Absolutely, positively, vehemently HATE this book. It makes English teachers feel the need to act all superior like know exactly what Fitzgerald was thinking as he was writing this story. Uh no, just because the lady’s dress is blue does not mean it’s foreshadowing the end of Gatsby’s and Daisy’s relationship. Did Fitzgerald tell you that when he had you over for dinner that one time? HE DIDN’T?! Then no, you do not know what the hell you are talking about.
Feel free to disagree with me in the comments! But don’t worry, you won’t change my mind. 🙂
