As the title says this is the First Date Book Tag created by Kate at the youtube channel Katesbookdate
Let's get started with the questions (which will also be listed below)
I apologize in advance if it's a little repetative of last year's books, it is after all still January.
1. The Awkward First Date - A book where something felt off, it wasn't a bad book, but it lacked that spark:
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Don't get me wrong, I still really did enjoy this book, I just know I could have enjoyed it more, but unsure of how. I have a theory that if I read it it would have been better as opposed to listened to it on audio book, the full cast production was again, great, just certain parts of it were difficult to understand.
2. The Cheap first date - A book that turned out less than you expected:
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
Again I did enjoy this book for the most part. The beginning had me enthralled and wanting so much from this book, but the ending was a bit of a disappointment.
3. Well-prepared first date - A book that was better than expected:
The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
This book actually had the opposite effect as the last, I didn't expect much when I began, it seemed kind of dreary and slow, but by the end really picked up and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
4. Hot but dumb - A pretty book, but not so hot inside:
Snow Girl: Green Hair Don't Care Vol. 1 by Bryan Lee O'Malley
The cover attracted me to this graphic novel, and as you'll hear in my December review, disappointed me. I don't know what I was expecting really, but what I got wasn't it. I don't know if I just didn't get the humor or what, but ultimately found the content of this book very irritating. That illustrations were the only thing I stuck around for.
5. Blind Date - A book you picked up not knowing anything about it:
Everything All at Once by Katrina Leno
I had gotten this book in an Uppercase box and hadn't heard anything about it. I had read the synopsis and just kept reading the book. Glad I did it turned out to be pretty good.
6. Speed Dating - A book you read super fast:
Chemistry by Weike Wang
With out getting into graphic novels (which I can't typically finish in an hour) or middle grade, this adult book was actually pretty quick. I know three days doesn't sound quick but I'm usually pretty happy if I can get a book done in a week. This one was interesting enough to keep me reading at a pretty good pace and it was short enough that it was done pretty quickly.
7. The Rebound - A book you read too soon after a book hangover and it kind of ruined the book for you:
can't say I have a book for this....I usually get to talk out books with my boyfriend, otherwise I move on pretty quickly.
8. Overly Enthusiastic Date - A book that felt like it was trying too hard:
The Anatomical Shape of Heart by Jenn Bennett
...So it's not like it was trying too hard, there were just certain aspects of it that I felt were a little unbel....you know what yeah it was trying too hard. It was still cute, it was just hard to believe and/or connect with some of the events that took place.
9. The Perfect First Date - A book that did everything right for you:
I'm just going to leave this here
10. Humiliating First Date - A book you're embarrassed to admit you liked/embarrassed to be caught reading in public for whatever reason:
Any E.L. James books ...you know the Fifty Shades series. I enjoyed them for the most part when I read them originally. But of course its a name that quickly got everyone's attention for it's content. I had my negatives about it only to have friends point out more that I agreed with, and then over all there series was ruined for me after a friend had me listen to Gilbert Gottfried reading from it. Just over all know, after everything I just didn't want them on my shelves or in my room, they were just kind of ruined for me.
And that was the First Date Book Tag
Hope you enjoyed,
Until next time!
