I saw this tag going around on BookTube and i thought it would be quite fun to do. This is the original tag, if you wanted to check that out :)
1) What book has made you feel confident either about yourself or your life?
So the obvious answer i can think of for this question is Girls Under Pressure by Jacqueline Wilson, as i read it at a time when i hated basically everything about myself and i felt a lot like Ellie, and reading how she overcame how she felt and that she started to love herself made me feel a lot better about myself, and when i'm feeling down i like to read that book again to cheer myself up a bit. I also feel a similar way about Unbearable Lightness by Portia De Rossi.
2) What book has made you sympathize with the characters?
Well the obvious answer would be The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, so yeah i'm going to go with that. I think if you can read TFiOS and not feel really bad for basically every character i applaud you because this book made me feel so bad for so many people. And Hazel saying "I do." at the end just makes it hit home how bad i feel for everyone.
3) What book made you feel anxious?
No book has really made me feel anxious, i guess the closest to feeling anxious i've gotten is when i was reading The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. I was just found myself on edge a lot (which sounds silly now that i've written it) throughout the book because i wanted to know who had killed him but then i didn't want to know, and then i didn't want her to be found in Alaska, and everything made me feel a lot of different things mainly just because of what the book was about.
4) What book has made you feel annoyed?
Oh where to start...A few books have made me feel annoyed, but i think the one that annoys me the most is New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. I HATE the way Bella acts in this book (well in all the books really, but especially this one) particularly when Edward leaves. Yes i get that you're sad that your boyfriend has left you but seriously get a grip. There are pages where Stephenie Meyer has literally just written the name of the month because Bella is in such a state of despair that she can't do a single thing! Ergh i just really hate this book because of how annoying and insufferable i find Bella in it.
5) Which book has made you feel disappointed?
I'm going to go with Geek Girl by Holly Smale because i honestly thought that i was going to love this book and then it was just kind of a let down over and over again...
6) Which book has made you feel confused?
Confused? Hmmmm? I'm not sure i've ever really been confused by a book, and if i have i can't remember it. I guess Evil Star by Anthony Horowitz confused me a bit, but i think that's mainly due to the fact i read it before Raven's Gate (Evil Star is the second book in the Power of Five series, Raven's Gate is book one.) so that left me a little confused.
7) Which book has made you feel satisfied?
I'm going to say 2 very different books for this. First off i'm going to say Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan because this book was exactly the kind of book i wanted and needed to read at the time that i first read it. I was in a bit of a reading slump and this book made me realise why i love reading again. It's funny at times, sad at times, made me laugh, made me cry, and i honestly love every single thing about this book. The second book is The Catcher in the Rye by J D Salinger because it is my all time favourite book and i think i read it at the right time in my life. I read it at that time in a person's life where a book can just feel right and like this book could change your life and that a book can just mean so much to you. Catcher is my favourite book and it means more to me than any other book and every time i read it i feel satisfied knowing that this book is something that i can come back to over and over again and no matter what it's there for me[?] (that sounded better in my head i think...)
8) Which book has made you feel like you really related to the character?
I'm just going to name a few books where i really related to a character (maybe i'll expand on them some day) :
Harry Potter, The Catcher in the Rye, Girls Under Pressure, Girl 15 series, Will Grayson Will Grayson, Looking For Alaska, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 13 Reasons Why, City of Ashes, Kiss, Oh My Goth, and many others really..
