The Birthstone Book Tag

Hey there! So I've decided that I wanted to do a book tag as my second post and why not this one?

So basically, I'm not going to tag anyone, but I encourage you to do it if it interests you. This tag was created by Jay G.

January (GARNET): Associate with warding off negative forces and dark energies – Name a book with the darkest/evilest character you can think of.

To be honest it's hard to choose the most evil character because all these 'villains' have some sort of reasoning for being the way they are. But I'd have to go with The Wicked Witch Of The West from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. To me, she likes to be evil just for the sake of being wicked. 

FEBRUARY (AMETHYST): PURPLE IS ASSOCIATED WITH ROYALTY – NAME A BOOK WITH REGAL QUALITIES… YOU CAN BASE THIS OFF OF CHARACTERS OF CHOOSE THE KING OF ALL BOOKS

How could I not go with my favourite book series about royalty? Of course The Selection by Kiera Cass is my pick for this category. It brings together so many genres and is written so masterfully. I'm devastated the series is over and hope the movie does this book justice.

MARCH (AQUAMARINE)- Washed out – Name a ‘wishy washy’ character, a character who is not strong or a follower

Wishy washy, hmm? I think I'm going to choose Gally from The Maze Runner by James Dashner. he's not exactly mentally or physically strong yet always tries to rebel against Thomas. Not spoiling anything but his character is just there. But when he has the chance, he chooses not to go with the others even though his chances of survival heftily dropped.

APRIL (DIAMOND): A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH – NAME A BOOK THAT YOU LOVED BUT IS NOT WELL KNOWN

One thing you should know about me is that I love to discover new books. One of my favourites is always going to be Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan. It's about a boy who begins to work at a bookstore. Slowly he begins to discover a seccret society within booksellers full of mysteries. Add in help from a girl he met who works at Google and you have the perfect combination of old and new with a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.






May (EMERALD): Said to balance energy – Name two characters who balance each other well

This Wattpad book was the first thing that popped into my head because well Lucian Nyx does not approve. Anyways Lucian and Alex are balance each other so well that Lucian acknowledges Alex as his balance.

JUNE (PEARL): ASSOCIATED WITH LOYALTY – NAME A CHARACTER WHO IS LOYAL TO THE END

There's so many loyal characters so I've narrowed it down to my top 3. 

First off is Simon from The Mortal Instruments who is Clary's best friend and manages to stick by her side for the whole series even as she goes through her identity crisis (literally) and falls in love with someone else.

Next is Chuck from The Maze Runner. He was Thomas' first friend when he first found himself in the glade. He stood by Thomas until the very end.

Last is Lissa from The Vampire Academy. She and Rose don't just have the bond, they're true friends to each other. The reason why I chose Lissa and not Rose was because of Dimitri. Even as Rose was going through everything she was Lissa never turned her back on her. 

A few honorable mentions: The golden trio (Harry Potter), Issac (TFIOS), Marlee (The Selection) and Rue (THG).

July (RUBY): Blood red – Name a book that made your blood boil, one that made you angry

Oh, this one's easy. The ending to The House Of The Scorpion was the most aggravating ending ever. 

Another one would be Allegiant. The series had actually been preety good but then this book comes out and ruins it all. And don't even get me started on how bad the movies are.

AUGUST (PERIDOT): PALE GREEN (IT PALES IN COMPARISON TO OTHER GEMS) – NAME A SUPPORTING CHARACTER WHO YOU LIKE BETTER THAN THE MAIN CHARACTER

Alice from Twilight was definitely better than Bella, just saying like I mean she was so down to earth and her power is really cool.

September (SAPPHIRE): Blue like the ocean which is calming – Name a book that had a calming affect on you

The Princess Diaries of course! This book series is such a fun book that always seems to calm me down right away.

OCTOBER (OPAL): IRIDESCENT – NAME AN IRIDESCENT BOOK, THIS CAN BE A BOOK WITH A BEAUTIFUL COVER (SHINY? LOTS OF COLOUR?) OR YOU CAN BASE IT OFF OF A CHARACTER (QUIRKY? COLOURFUL?)

My favourite cover by far is for The Thousandth Floor. It's so shiny and both the inside and out of this book is shiny and beautiful.

November (TOPAZ): Associated with resilience – Name a books with a character who rises to the top in a time of adversity

I'm going to have to go with both Katniss from The Hunger Games and Cassie from Matched. Katniss definitely rises to the top as she continues to defy the Capitol and Cassie, who realizes what had been going on after she is matched.

DECEMBER (BLUE ZIRCON): ASSOCIATED WITH FRIENDSHIP – NAME A BOOK WITH A FRIENDSHIP YOU WANT TO BE APART OF

Pretty Little Liars all the way. Now I wouldn't want to have been tortured by A but their connection after everything is amazing. They are the friendship goals. Another would be The Golden Trio from Harry Potter.
