The Summer Lovin' Book Tag!

Hello Everyone,


Today I thought that I would complete the Summer Lovin' Book Tag because I just watched a video that Jesse the Reader from Booktube did and he tagged everyone watching so I decided to give it a shot! It's also the end of winter where I live and spring is about to start so that timing seems right too!

You can watch the video that Jesse did here!

Now, let's start this tag!

1. The Beginning of Summer - Pick a book with an attention grabbing first sentence:

The Maze Runner by James Dashner


I chose this book because Scorched Earth is coming out soon and I'm really excited about that (Thomas/Dylan...mcm). The first sentence in this book is "He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air". I think that this sentence really draws you into the story because it is exciting because you want to find out who this mysterious "he" is and why is he starting a "new life" and why is he surrounded by "cold darkness"?? Questions that can only be answered by continuing on with this awesome book series!

2. Too Hot to go Outside - Pick a book for a day inside:

Inside Out and Outside In by Maria V. Snyder


The only time that I read outside is if I go to the beach, and considering that I am only going to the beach at the end of december... I don't think that I am going to be reading much outside until then. Therefore, anything that I read inside could be read outside. For the sake of this tag, I think that something such as Inside Out and Outside In by Maria V. Snyder purely because these are sitting on my TBR shelf and I absolutely cannot wait to read them. I'm so excited!

3. Summer Road trip - Pick a book that you would take with you on a road trip: 

Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling 


I would choose a good adventure book/book series because I you are going on an adventurous road trip with your friends or family then I think that by reading an adventure book your amazing road trip would be even more enjoyable! I think that I would reread a few of these books on a road trip because I loved them so much and would love to reread them and for some reason I think that a road trip would be the perfect time to reread them! (Lame, I know!)

4. Ice Tea Goodness - Pick a book with a cold setting:

Let It Snow - John Green, Lauren Myracle, Maureen Johnson


Good riddance winter (just kidding, I love winter so much) This book is one of the only winter books that I can think of right now and I just love how the three short stories in this book intertwine and how all of the characters are connected. Also... John Green. What more can I say, It's amazing!

5. Nasty Sunburn - Pick a book that you have disliked so far this year

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner


I started reading this book last week and I was in such a reading slump that I wasn't sure if I would ever crawl out of the deep dark hole of not being able to read two pages before putting my book down. I'm out of my reading slump now (would you like a "how to overcome a reading slump" post?)
and I hope that I can go back to reading this book soon. For now though it is going to have to sit on my TBR shelf. I hope that when I go back to read this book that I will enjoy it because, I really love space books!

6. Sizzling Read - Recommend one of your favourite books:

The Study series by Maria V. Snyder! 


I absolutely adore these books and all of the characters both good and evil! These books took me on an adventure and I couldn't put them down once I started reading them!

I tag everyone reading this to do this tag. Even if it is nearly winter where you live, give it a go anyway!

What is your favourite summer read? Let me know in the comments so that I can pick your favourites up!
