The Totally Should've Book Tag

-
Hey guys! I've been seeing this tag float around and I thought I would give it a go!

1. A book that totally should’ve gotten a sequel

OMG guys that ending! I would absolutely love a sequel, or even a short story that takes place after Eleanor & Park. Just like an update to know
what’s happening with them like two years down the line.







2. Totally should’ve gotten a spin-off series
Image result for infernal devicesCassandra Clare is a master at spin-off series. In fact, the Infernal Devices trilogy is a spin-off series to the Mortal Instruments series. So next, she should definitely write a series about Jem Castairs and his adventures as a Silent Brother.



3. An author that should totally write more books
I’m going to go with Jennifer Niven, who wrote the wonderful All The Bright Places, which is her first novel. In fact, just thinking about this book makes me want to read more contemporary, which now I might do. I just loved this one, and hope for more from here.











4. A character who totally should’ve ended up with someone else
Image result for deliriumHonestly, I don’t remember much about the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver. However, I do remember there was a pretty open ending, but it pointed to Lena ending up with a love interest that I didn’t like.








5. A book that totally should’ve ended differently
Image result for throne of glassI’m not saying Throne of Glass didn’t have a good ending, but it was really underwhelming. If it was a stand alone, it would’ve been fine,but it’s a series, and they way it ended doesn’t really make me want to continue the story,









6. Totally should’ve gotten a movie franchise
Image result for obsidian jennifer armentroutI could see the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout totally being the next Twilight- but a better version of it. There’s great characters, fantastic dialogue, and swoon worthy characters for sure.








7. Totally should’ve had a TV show
Hmm… maybe the Shadow Falls series by C.C. Hunter. This series is so amazing- it’s basically Percy Jackson, but with older characters and more of a paranormal vibe. There’s just enough books that I could see the show going for four or five seasons.








8. Totally should’ve had one point of view
I really don’t know. I really love dual points of view because I think it definitely adds to the story.

9. Totally should have a cover change
The Across the Universe trilogy had such BEAUTIFUL covers. That is, until they did a cover change on the third one. Honestly, I would just love the third one to get redone.




10. Totally should’ve kept the original covers
I know basically everyone likes the new covers for all the Cassandra Clare books, but I’m not really a huge fan of them. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t bad, but I prefer the original covers better.








11. Totally should’ve stopped at book one

Me Before You could definitely go without a sequel, which is why I'm not reading it. The book wrapped up fine, and I think this is a story that would’ve been better for readers to imagine what happens to the characters.

How Andrew Smith (Probably) Saved My Life

This is a picture of Andrew Smith, my all time favorite author. Over the past weekend, I got to meet him, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Now, you may be wondering why this guy is  not just my all time favorite author, but also one of my favorite people, and I am going to tell you all about it. Two and a half years ago, I didn’t even know who this guy was, let alone that he wrote books. I was really big into BookTube, and even though I didn’t make videos, I loved being a part of the community. One day, I heard about Winger , and honestly I wasn’t really interested in the book. I had heard so many good things about it though that I had to read it, and I am so glad I did. Within five pages, I kid you not, it was my favorite book, and it still is today. Over the span of my life, I have read over 300 books, and I have never been more attached to a set of characters. Ryan Dean stole my heart from the minute I met him, and his story then shattered my heart into a mil

In Henrietta, Virginia, magic is brewing. For Blue, this is no surprise. Blue lives in a house full of psychics. Some can predict times of events and some can predict things as a grave as the way someone will die. Blue’s only ability is to amplify other’s. Oh, and the fact that if she kisses her true love, they will die. For Gansey, the magic of Henrietta holds the key to the future. For a year and a half, he’s been searching Henrietta for the ley line that supposedly has the power to awaken a historical Welsh king that, when awakened, is able to grant powerful wishes. Enlisted in his search are his friends Ronan, Adam, and Noah. And now Blue. In a psychic reading gone wrong, the boys and Blue are put together, now all on the hunt for the ley line. There’s only one thing Blue isn’t telling them: she’s predicted to have a role Gansey’s death. Gansey, who’s alive right now. As they get closer to the ley line, it becomes clear that they’re not the only ones after the king and the conseq

Still Life With Tornado by A.S. King (2016)

Sarah is sixteen, and she is going through an early-life crisis. She stopped going to school, and is stuck on the idea that nothing that she does will ever be original. That she is trapped in a world of unoriginality. Her days are spent following the homeless artist on the corner around town, and switching buses for hours until she doesn’t know where she it. On one of her wandering days, she meets herself. The ten year old Sarah, whose family’s explosive trip to Mexico ended with her older brother moving to Oregon, never to return. Then Sarah in her early twenties show up, and Sarah in her forties. They all hold a little piece of present Sarah’s life that she’s trying to figure out, but none of them are offering any clear answers. She better figure it out quick, though, before her whole world falls apart. I am a huge fan of A.S. King. When I was twelve, I first read one of her books, which was called Everybody Sees the Ants , which deserves five stars just based on the great title.
