The Hamilton book tag (part I)

Let's be honest, I'm probably the last person to join the Hamilton hype and I don't even know why the heck I didn't listen to it when I first heard of it, but better late than never, right? Anyway, I'm loving it and I can already feel I'm going to be obsessed with it, so now is the perfect time for me to do the Hamilton book tag.

The room where it happens - A book world you would put yourself in

Since I'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive longer than a week in any kind of dangerous world, I guess I'd be pretty safe living as an Erudite in the world of Divergent by Veronica Roth, but obviously prior to Tris' revolution, so as long as I wouldn't break any rules no harm would come to me. And honestly, there are certainly worse things than working as a scientist, doing the stuff I'm fascinated by and being surrounded by people with similar interest. Also, I guess my whole family would be sorted into Erudite, so I wouldn't even be seperated from them.

The Schuyler sisters - An underrated female character

I absolutely love Nehemia from the Throne of glass series by Sarah J. Maas and she certainly doesn't get the credit she deserves, since everyone's so focused on Celaena. Don't get me wrong, I love Celaena as well, but just because Nehemia is in a different way badass doesn't mean she's any less awesome, yet I think most readers don't really appreciate her that much.

My shot - A character that goes after what they want and doesn't let anyone stop them

Definitely Jay Gatsby from The great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. He spends nearly his whole life trying to get together with Daisy, throws all these huge and incredibly expensive parties for her and does everything to make her happy, so she becomes his wife or at least his lover. I mean, that's basically the definition of determination and he's the last one to throw his shot away.

Stay alive - A character you wish was still alive

Since I want to keep this tag spoiler-free, I'm not going to go for a single character, but rather for a bunch of them, who all die in the A song of ice and fire series by George R.R. Martin. I guess it's common knowledge that a lot of characters get killed in these books, and I obviously was aware of it as well when I started reading, but it still hurt seeing most of my favorite characters die. So there are of course actually quite a lot of characters I wish were still alive.

Burn - The most heartbreaking end to a relationship you've ever read

I'll just go with the probably most mainstream answer, which is The fault in our stars by John Green. Honestly, there's nothing more to say than that this whole story is so freaking heartbreaking.

You'll be back - Sassiest villain

My most favorite villain ever is the Darkling from the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo and even though he's not actually that sassy, he's going to be my answer anyway because he's perfect and my precious little cinnamon roll and I love him.

The Reynolds pamphlet - A book with a twist that you didn't see coming

I definitely didn't see the twist in Red queen by Victoria Aveyard coming, and that's what made this book so good. I love shocking twists, especially since I often feel that the plot of many books is just so predictable and boring.

Non-stop - A series you marathoned

I think it took me less than two days to read the If I stay series by Gayle Forman, simply because I just couldn't stop reading. And crying. I had to cry constantly during reading this heartbreaking story, but it honestly was so worth it since the books are amazing.

Satiesfied - Favorite book with multiple POVs

I'm such a big fan of books with multiple POVs since I think it just adds so much more depth to the story, and even if I don't like one of the main characters, I don't have to suffer reading the whole book from his/her perspective. One of my all-time favorite books is Six of crows by Leigh Bardugo and the different POVs are definitely a reason why I love it so much.

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story - A book/series you feel like will be remembered throughout history

I guess everyone who does this tag chooses the same answer for this question, which is obviously the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I feel like it already is a classic and I can't really imagine a time where people wouldn't want to visit this fantastic world she created. The story can be read and enjoyed by everyone, no matter his/her age, gender, nationality and everything else. The series has been super popular for nearly twenty years now, and I'm sure the hype won't die anytime in the near future.

I hope you enjoyed this book tag, I'm sorry for not going into too much detail with my questions, but just like always life is stressing me out a bit, so I don't have that much time for writing posts.
