Disney princess book tag (part II)

Here's the second part of the Disney princess book tag. If you want to check out the first part, click here. I hope you'll enjoy it!


Pocahontas: A book whose ending is a roller coaster of emotions

The ending of Ruin and rising, the last book in the Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo, was just too much for me. I felt so many emotions and couldn't decide whether I was happy or sad about the ending and ended up bawling my eyes out for the last couple of chapters.

Mulan: A book with a kickass female character

How can I not choose Celaena Sardothien from the Throne of glass series by Sarah J. Maas for this question? She's basically the definition of a badass character, so reading about her adventures is so much fun.

Tiana: A book with a hardworking, self-made character

I honestly thought about this question for quite some time, but couldn't really come up with anyone who fits this describtion a 100% and isn't my answer for any other question. I guess the closest comes Agnieszka from Uprooted by Naomi Novik because she certainly does work hard to improve her skills and also has to do some chores, so I hope she counts as a valid answer for this one.

Rapunzel: A book featuring an artist

Actually quite a few characters come to my mind as answers for this question, but I'm just gonna go withe Feyre from the A court of thornes and roses series by Sarah J. Maas because of the lovely scene that involves her painting for like three days straight in A court of mist and fury.

Merida: A book featuring a mother-daughter relationship

At first, I thought this is one of the easiest questions to answer out of all of them, but once I really started thinking about it, I realized how often the main character's mother is just dead or gets killed after a few chapters. A mother-daughter relationship however I do remember to be pretty sweet is the one between Marguerite and her mom Sophia (is that even her name?) from the Firebird series by Claudia Gray.

Anna & Elsa: A book with a great sibling relationship

The relationship between Adelina and Violette Amouteru from The young elites series by Marie Lu isn't what you'd typically call great, but what I really love about it is the development of it. It's so lovely and empowering to see how much both of them came to understand, trust and support each other over the course of the first two books and I'm beyond excited to see what they're up to in the next one, especially because of what happened at the end of The rose society between those two.

I hope you enjoyed this book tag and hopefully you didn't mind me splitting the tag into two parts. Have a wonderful day!

Disney princess book tag (part I)

Since I'm completely stressed out at the moment because of all the exams I have to study for, I'm gonna split this book tag into two even parts. I hope you don't mind that both posts will be pretty short and you'll enjoy it anyway! (Click here to get to the second part.)

Snow white: What's your favorite classic?

I absolutely love The great gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The time period in which it takes place sounds amazing and I'd love to visit one of the fabulous parties. It's one of the first classics I've read and it definitely motivated me to start reading more classics.

Cinderella: What book kept you up way past your bed time?

It happens very often that I'm reading for way too long in the night and end up feeling horrible the next day in school. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the book that kept me up the longest is Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins which I finished at around 3:30 am when I read it for the first time a couple of years ago.

Aurora: What's your favorite classic romance?

A tale of two cities by Charles Dickens. I usually hate love triangles, but that one is just perfect and incredibly beautiful and sad and emotional and I love it. It's also the only love triangle where I actually like both guys equally. Another pretty cool aspect is that the book is set during the French Revolution, which is quite interesting.

Ariel: A book about sacrifices and fighting for your dreams

I think Celia and Marco from The night circus by Erin Morgenstern sacrifice a lot for each other and manage to build the world of their dreams in the circus and that's a really wonderful thing.

Belle: A book with a smart, independent female character

One of the only female characters I can think of who never did something really stupid is Margaery Tyrell from the A song of ice and fire series by George R.R. Martin. She's incredibly smart and despite her pretty young age she knows exactly how to achieve her goals and how to manipulate people for her purposes.

Jasmine: A character who challenges the social conventions of their world

 Kestrel from the Winner's trilogy by Marie Rutkoski certainly doesn't want to fit in the way her society pressures her to, so I guess it's no big suprise she ends up playing a part in a revolution.

Again, I'm sorry for keeping this so short, but hopefully you've enjoyed it. Have a lovely day!
