Opposites Book Tag

Hello again internet! I'm back today with another tag, we all know how i love a good book tag. This one was created by this person and i saw it over on Heather's channel.  I thought that it was a pretty good tag and so here i am, looking at all the opposites in my lovely books.

Here we go!

1) What was the first book in your collection/the last book you bought?

Okay, so i'm pretty sure the first book in my 'collection' was This is the Bear by Sarah Hayes at least it is the first book i remember being read to me when i was really little. It's such a great children's book and i cannot recommend it enough! And i'm pretty sure the last book i bought was Teardrop by Lauren Kate, which is the first book in her new trilogy. It sounds really interesting and it is one of the prettiest books i think i have ever seen.

2) What was a cheap book/which was an expensive one?

I'm pretty sure (how many times can i say that phrase!?!?) that the cheapest book i bought was The Host by Stephenie Meyer which i got for a whopping 75p!! How good is that?! The most expensive book i think i've bought is a book called Subjective Universality in Kant's Aesthetics  by Ross Wilson. I really love this book, it's fascinating, but it was a ridiculous £52! Outrageous. 

3) What is a book with a male protagonist/one with a female protagonist?

I'm going to go with The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger for the book with a male protagonist, and Fallen by Lauren Kate for the female protagonist. I love both of these books, Catcher is my favourite book of all time and the Fallen series is one of my favourite series'. 

4) What is a book you read really fast/one that took you ages to read?

I think that the book i read the fastest was Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I read this book in one sitting, and i absolutely adore it! It's such an incredible book and it's so easy to just get lost in the story and just not stop reading, i highly, highly recommend it! The book that took my the longest to read was probably 1984 by George Orwell. Now i do really like this book, but it's definitely not one of my favourites, nor was it particularly easy for me to read because i was so disinterested in everything that happened. 

5) Which book has a pretty cover/which one has an ugly cover?

For a pretty cover i'm going to go for Rapture by Lauren Kate. This whole series has beautiful covers, but i think Rapture is my favourite. And for the ugly cover i'm going to go for Paper Towns by John Green. I'm really not a fan of the cover that i have, i have seen some beautiful covers for it though, like this one.  





6) What is a book national to you/what is an international one?

So i'm guessing this one is a book set where i live, which would be England, and international being anywhere else in the world. So i'm going to go for A Witch in Winter by Ruth Warburton which is set somewhere in England. For international i'm going to go for City of Bones by Cassandra Clare as that's set in NYC and that's somewhere i really want to go.

7) What is your thinnest book/your thickest book?

My thinnest book is probably Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J K Rowling, which is a great book. The thickest book is probably Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, again by J K Rowling. Which is also a fantastic book! 

8) What is a fiction book/what is a non-fiction book?

Fiction: Game by Anders de la Motte
Non-Fiction: Sickness Unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard 

9) What is a really romantic book/action-based book?

For a really romantic book i'm going to go for one where i think the romance is overly played up in the book, and i think the book would be better without it, so i'm going to go for Geek Girl by Holly Smale because that book would be a whole lot better without the somewhat pathetic "romance". For an action-based book i'm going to go for Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz, which is just a great book with loads of action

10) What is a book that made you really happy/one that made you really sad?

For this i'm going to go for two books by the same author, John Green. Will Grayson Will Grayson was a book that made me really happy and, kind of obviously, The Fault in Our Stars made me really sad. 

That was a fun tag, and it was harder than i thought it was going to be!
