 Hello, hello, everyone. My name is Laura. This is my channel Laura's Little Library and welcome to today's video Which is a tag that I created last year and that is the gingerbread house tag It would be a fun tag to do the day before Thanksgiving because Gingerbread houses are some things that we do around this time of year whether it's for Thanksgiving or Christmas or other holidays And I had a lot of fun doing it last year So I thought I'd just do it again this year if you are interested in doing this tag go ahead and do it Consider this me Tagging you to go right on ahead. I will have the questions down in the description below So it'll make it easier for you if you want to otherwise feel free to just answer any of these questions in the comments below I would love to know what your answers are for some of these So the first question is construction or walls. What is a book that had a good plot or a good Beginning but ended up being kind of plain and so I went with Wilder Girls by Rory Power. I thought the concept of this sounded really interesting But then as the book was going on it just seemed like it was missing something Kind of like when you put up the walls and you haven't decorated them yet So I think this is my walls of the gingerbread house this year question number two is the door What is a good book to serve as an entryway to one of your favorite genres and for this one I am gonna go with lovely war. I love historical fiction. I haven't read it near as much But I've been wanting to hence why I recently made a video of historical fiction that I want to read I think this is a great gateway into the genre because it takes place during the world war Which a lot of historical fiction does but it's also romance and it's a war story But it's also told from the perspective of the Greek gods So there are so many elements to it that just intertwine really well together So there's bound to be something about it that someone would like who doesn't read a lot of historical fiction And then the third one for the construction section is the roof What is the best final book in a series to top it all off and this year for me? It is the dragon tapestry. This is the third book in the tea dragon society series I'm pretty sure this is a trilogy It's not been confirmed if another book is coming out So as of now to me, this is the final book in the series and it is Beautiful in every way both the artwork the story the characters. I love it all So this is this is my roof and it is a gorgeous gorgeous roof All right moving on to candy and the fourth question is the peppermint swirls What is a book with a lot of twists and turns and I have to go with the final girl support group by Grady Hendricks This book just kept me guessing. It was twisty. It was turny. It was like. Oh, here's this solution Oh, but wait, it's not what you expect. There is more. Let us now switch over to here Oh, but wait, remember that one thing like it just it was kind of all over the place Which can be a good thing, but also can be a little bit of an annoying thing But no matter what it fits these this world of twisting and turning so I And I did enjoy it for the most part. I very much did enjoy this book Number five is the gumdrop. What is a book that is very generic or has a lot of tropes in it? and the book I've chosen may cause a little bit of controversy, but I Have chosen pumpkin heads by Faith Erin Hicks and Rainbow Rowell Just cuz I felt like this book wasn't anything Too unique like okay, I can't even say what the trope is Because that'll be a spoiler for the book, but there are just so many things in here that was just kind of like Okay, that's kind of playing Okay, yeah, no, okay, that's predictable. Okay, that's kind of tropey Okay, so like obviously it's still a beautiful book and I love the artwork And it's just such a sweet read and it's like it's a graphic novel. I enjoyed it But I just it just seems like a gumdrop to me Number six is licorice and that is the longest book on your shelf And I'm pretty sure this hasn't changed from last year I don't think I've bought a book that is longer than this one because it's a chunky fella said Grimm's complete fairy tales edition. It's it's tall. It's wide. It has how many pages like It's over It's over 650 pages. So I don't think I have anything page-wise that is longer than this so It's a job and I wonder if this will be the same answer next year Because I I'm I'm intimidated by chonkers now Unless it's an audiobook they intimidate me which is such a bummer because when I was young got used to love thick long bucks but Yeah, so it's still a complete fairy tale then moving on we have frosting and that is what is a book that holds One of your favorite genres together or the most underrated book You know something that is just kind of everywhere, but you don't really truly appreciate it And actually I'm gonna go with a deadly education by Naomi Novak I think I think a lot of people think this book was good, but I think it's great Like I feel like people appreciate it a little bit, but I don't think they appreciate it quite enough So it's a dark academia, which I think pretty much just is a subgenre I think but it is fantasy. It's got magic. It's like a whole different It's not a take on Harry Potter but it's the whole idea of going to this magical school and learning spells But it's it's so different And so I think this is my frosting like it just it holds together every element of dark academia and I think it Should be more loved than it is And I am so excited to read the last graduate. Oh my goodness And then finally the last question on this tag question number eight are the gingerbread men So even though we build gingerbread houses and that's kind of the point and they're fun and they're decorative Sometimes we still bake little gingerbread men and those can be fun to really accompany the houses and so the prompt is What is a book with great supportive characters and this year? I am going with the labyrinth lost which is part of the Brooklyn Bruja trilogy. It's the first one and this is by Zoraida Gordova and The the fun thing about this book so it centers around a family so you very much get like the family supportive characters But it's just such a fun Family like the three sisters are hilarious and you definitely Get that feeling that there is that sisterly bond there in just as much the teasing But also the love and it's fun because each book in the trilogy follows a different sister so Like you have a great main character and then the next book they become a great side character and vice versa You have great side characters and then they eventually become great main characters so I Cheating a little bit but I mean come on and I loved this series Like late last year early this year, so That's what I'm gonna have to go with and that's the end of the tag So thank you all so much for watching click subscribe if you want to see more videos by me I post every Sunday and Wednesday It is a new schedule that I am posting to so hit the bell to be notified when I post it You don't miss out Otherwise give this video a thumbs up if you liked it or if you want to do the tag again I tag you go ahead do it if you want to otherwise comment down below any of your answers And until I see you all in the next video.
