As part of the Puppy Love Challenge, Barb over at http://bookertsfarm.blogspot.com/ has set up a fictional dog related book tag for everyone to take part in. You don't need to do the challenge to take part in the tag!
1) Clifford-The longest book you've read
I'm pretty sure that my longest book read was the full copy of The Stand! I first read this in my student days and re-read it a few times. It's been many years since I read it though.
2) Scooby Doo-Favourite mystery book/series
I'm not really one for crime or mystery books but I really enjoyed the first two Lincoln Rhyme books. They were different from the usual police procedure books I'd read and I really want to read the rest of the series.
3) Peabody-Favourite non fiction book
I do enjoy a lot of non fiction so picking one is really tough.I love so many but I'm narrowing it down into three categories of non fiction that I love-mountain disasters, political and true life memoirs.
4) Astro-Favourite science fiction book
I don't read a ton of SF books but there are a few that I've really enjoyed. Murderbot, Ready Player One, Future Shock, Wolf by Wolf, The Testing, Luna, Jurassic Park...but I have to go with this.
5) Snoopy-Favourite graphic novel
I don't read graphic books due to price and barely having room for the books I have, never mind branching out into other types of reading materials. I'm going to go with the only book I kept from my childhood which is a picture book for kids.
6) Goofy-Book or characters that annoy you
I'm really annoyed by whiny, crying, bitching, useless, pathetic female MC's, arrogant, violent, sexist, macho male MC's, racist or moronic small town cops, mean schoolkids, characters that are cruel to animals, alcoholic and junkie MC's, religious cults, teenage soulmates, characters who spend the whole book jumping into bed with everyone in sight, paedophiles, idiots...so you can see why I'm not selecting any particular book!
7) Jake-Favourite childhood book
I was a big fan of Enid Blyton and Judy Blume as a kid and also read a lot of horse related stories like The Black Stallion.
8) Odie-Favourite sidekick
Again, there are lots! I like a book with a sidekick or group of people with different skills helping the MC. These are a few of my favourites.
9) Bolt-A fast read
I'm a fast reader anyway so I tend to read everything at speed! I like a good thrilling creature feature book that I can get through in a night, unputdownable apocalypse reads and pageturning horror.
10) Max-Favourite holiday read
I don't have specific holiday reads. I just read what I want when I feel like it, based purely on my mood.
Thanks for participating! I just knew I'd love your answer for annoying characters. You spot on nailed it!
ReplyDeleteA lot of things seem to annoy me when it comes to characters! You can see why I DNF so many books!
DeleteI never read The Stand but I did watch the movie.
ReplyDeleteI liked The Stand when I read it but it might be too long for me now! I liked that mini series with Gary Sinise and Rob Lowe...I need a dvd copy of that!
DeleteFun tag. I'm so horrible at remembering what I've read to do these tags lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's worth
Goodreads is essential to help me on big book tags! My memory sucks at times!
DeleteInto Thin Air looks super interesting. Love the look of Red Headed!
ReplyDeleteYes to the Extinction Trials and Murderbot of course. :)
I love the Black Stallion movie but have never read the books.
Into Thin Air is shocking as it shows what goes on in an Everest expedition and what happens when things go badly wrong. I love that book! I was addicted to the Black Stallion books when I was a kid!
DeleteOh I can go on and on about least favorite characters! I have so many pet peeves! I've never read Enid Blyton but I've been wanting to pick up a book by her. I love middle grade and she seems like such a classic author.
ReplyDeleteI would warn that with the Enid Blyton books being so old, they are not always politically correct!
Deletescooby doooooo...red headed step child.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Red Headed Stepchild was a great read and part of one of the better urban fantasy series I've read.
DeleteSuch a cool tag! The Hunger Games was one of the first scifi books I read, along with Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Hunger Games again and I now have the audio cds for the trilogy too.
DeleteI really need to read The Iron Druid series.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Hunger Games... They're the only ones on the list I have read!
The Iron Druid series has such great characters and humour. I still have to read the final book...
DeleteI still have the complete Black Stallion series from when I was a young girl! And I love The Hunger Games. The Deaver's series is a good one too. I wish they'd continue making more movies.
ReplyDeleteI was addicted to the Black Stallion books as a kid. I need to re-read The Hunger Games and get to the audio cd finally!
