My life in books! Book Tag

We really enjoy doing book tags at the moment, so here's another one that looks like a lot of fun. Let's do this!

1. Find a book for each of your initials.

Leah: I chose Love letters to the dead and Red queen for my first and last name. Since I also have a middle name I quite like, I decided to add in Heir of fire for it. I enjoyed all these books, so I'm happy with my pick. 
Vicky: Vampire Diaries and Breaking Dawn. Of course, I have a more or less beautiful middle name therefore I added The Shadow Kiss.

2. Count your age along your bookshelf - which book is it?

Leah: I'm fifteen and landed on The winner's curse. I love that book, it's set in a quite unique world (at least in my opinion), and deals with a lot of politics and intrigues. 
Vicky: I'm fifteen as well and the 15th book on my shelf is The Hunger Games which you probably all know (It seems like everybody has a copy of that book).

3. Pick a book set in your city/state/country.

Leah: I'm not sure if The book thief takes place in Munich, where I live, because I haven't read it yet (but it'll actually be the next book I'll read after I've finished Great expectations), but it's definitely set in Germany.
Vicky: In case you didn't know: There are not many books taking place in Germany or even Munich! After considering for minutes I finally came up with a famous german author called Erich Kästner. So I chose Emil and the detectives bc I loved it when I was a little girl?!

4. Pick a book that represents a destination you would love to travel to.

Leah: Anna and the french kiss really made me wanna visit Paris! It sounds like such an amazing city, with so many special sights (and amazing food. Never forget the food.).
Vicky: There is not a special book but every single one that takes place in London makes me wanna go to London. I've never been there by now but it's a city I really wish I could visit anytime soon...

5. Pick a book that's your favourite color. 

Leah: My favorite colors are probably black and white (especially for clothes) and dark shades of red. So the absolutely perfect cover is Crown of midnight! It looks completely stunning and badass, but is yet quite simple without a lot of decorations. It's honestly just perfect (just like the rest of the series!).
Vicky: Since I love food and my favourite colour is black as well, I have to go with Twilight. I was really looking forward to reading this book bc of its beautiful cover and I think it looks simply good!

6. Which book do you have the fondest memory of?

Leah: Probably Harry Potter. I loved this series the second I started it about eight years ago. I honestly can't even really remember a lot of other books I've read as a child (but I definitely did read plenty of books!), since most of them were historical fiction ones and I recently gave them away. And I absolutely loved the magic treehouse series, but that was in like first and second grade. And who didn't read and liked them at that age?
Vicky: There are so many books but as a child I was crazy about a series called Rainbow Magic. I don't know if you know it but it's basically just about two girls who need to help protecting their fairy friends against the evil Goblins and their master Jack Frost. Okaaay... I just saw that there are like 120 books from this series... When I stopped reading it there were only about 30 books published! Oh and btw, in the German version the Violet Fairy`s name is Vicky (like mine) and because of that it was my favourite book out of them and the book with the fondest memory.

7. Which book did you have the most difficulty reading?

Leah: I read A christmas carol by Charles Dickens last year to get into that christmas mood, and it was by far the hardest story for me to read so far. It's a pretty short book, but the font was quite small and because I'm not a native speaker, I always had to be concentrated while reading to understand everything.
Vicky: I read an original version of Dracula this summer and it was harder to read than I thougt. There were two points that made it difficult to read: At first it was written in very old english and I didn't know too many of the words and secondly, I was destracted by the pictures drawn into the book. They showed strange scenes and yeah... I'm not sure why I even finished it but bc of that it was probably the most difficult book I've ever read.

8. Which book in your TBR pile will give you the biggest sense of accomplishment when you finish it?

Leah: Great expectations by Charles Dickens! I'm about a hundred pages in and I'm really enjoying it so far. But I have the exact same problems as stated above with this one. Anyway, this is such an important book in literature and I'll probably be pretty proud of myself once I've finished it.
Vicky: I recently found out that in my library is a book including four stories written by Charles Dickens. So soon I will be reading it and since it's an english version I'll be pretty proud of myself once I've finished it!

We hope you enjoyed the My life in books! book tag and thanks for reading it!
Have a nice day,

Leah and Vicky
