Spring Cleaning Book Tag!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope your week is starting off well.

I have been tagged by Noel at Books With Noel to do the Spring Cleaning Book Tag. Thank you very much Noel for the tag if you're reading this post. This is my first book tag and I'll do my best to answer all of them as much as possible. The tag looks really fun to do so I hope everyone here will enjoy the read as well. Thank you for reading and let's start the tag!

1. The struggle of getting started: a book/book series that you have struggled with because of its size.

The House of Night Series by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast

As you can see, this series is 12 books long. I started reading this series when the Twilight fan base was starting to grow, around 2008. I have only read to book #8 and I do not plan to continue the series. Overall, I give the series a 3/5 rating. The reason why I stopped reading this series was because all the characters seemed generic to me and the story felt dragged on too much. 

2. Cleaning out the wardrobe: a book/series you want to unhaul.

I don't have a large book collection yet, but I hope to start one soon! Majority of my books are e-books and if I really love the book or series I'll buy a physical copy.

3. Opening windows and letting fresh air in: a book that was refreshing. 

What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen

 

A lot of the young adult books I read are in the Fantasy genre. What Happened to Goodbye was a book I read last year, and it was nice to just read about a normal high school girl trying to fit in. Reading about dragons, elves, and vampires is fun and addictive, but sometimes I just need normalcy in my reading. I'd recommend a lot of Dessen books for those cute romance read cravings. This book is a 5/5 for me and I should add more non-fantasy books to my TBR list.

4. Washing out sheet stains: a book you wish you could rewrite a certain scene in.

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass Series #2) by Sarah J. Maas

******** SPOILERS ********

I really really wanted Chaol and Aelin to be together. I was so frustrated when they fell apart. Now, Rowan is cool and all, but he seems so much of the " dark, mysterious past, edgy " bad boy type that I feel is so common. I know a lot of people also hated Chaol as well, but that's okay! I just really liked Chaol T^T......

5. Throwing out necessary knick-knack: a book in a series that you didn't think was necessary.

The Heir and The Crown (The Selection Series Books #4 & #5) by Kiera Cass

    

Honestly, these two books should have been novellas. The first three books were about a dystopian society that needed to be changed. The last two in the series, were about a girl complaining about her own kingdom that she must rule one day and the fact that there are too many handsome boys for her to choose from. I know people are diehard fans of this series, but I just couldn't handle Eadlyn's character. She seems too in her own world to connect to anyone else's world. 

6. Polishing the doorknobs: a book that had a clean finish. 

Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Lost Heroes of Olympus Series by Rick Riordan

    

Anyone who has been following this blog will know I'm a bit obsessed with these two series. They were all wonderfully written, and I wish I could continue reading them forever. I want to see Percy, Jason, Leo etc. grow older, finish college, and start a family. I know it isn't possible, but it is still my wish. I love the world of Camp Half-Blood and I don't think it'll ever change. 

7. Reaching to dust the fan: a book that tried too hard to relieve a certain message.

I can't think of anything for this one so onto the next one!

8. The tiring yet satisfying finish of spring cleaning: a series that was tiring yet satisfying to read through.

Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Read 

We started off with vampires and we will end with VAMPIRES!!!! Man, this series was a long read as well with SIX books, but I'm glad I finished it. I wouldn't say this was fantastic, I give it a 3/5. I think I was overwhelmed with vampire books when I was reading this series. I was reading House of Night, Twilight, and Vampire Academy books all at the same time. I was able to finish this series and Twilight, because they both finished publishing books around the same time. I was DONE with vampires haha. 

9. Looking forward to next spring: tag 4 people that you want to do this tag!

It's not necessary to do this tag if you do not wish to! Have fun if you do!

Alright! Thank you to everyone that has read it to this point in the post. It was fun doing a tag like this. I am still trying to finish Horde by Ann Aguirre, but I've been really busy. I'm hoping to get the book review out by next week. Thank you for understanding. Let me know what you would put as your answers in the comments!
