 Hey guys, it's Tilly and today I'm here with the wonderful Tanika from Flipping Truth Pages. Hi! We have created our very own book tag and it's called Bookmas Book Tag and it involves seven questions about Christmas! Yay! So you're festive! Christmas tag! We'll say like a question and then each of us will take turns in answering it. Yes, we'll have different books between us because we have different opinions. Question one, what book do you hope Santa leaves you under your tree this Christmas? Who's got a first name with you? Obviously on the naughty list. Hey, the suit is as rock. I want under my Christmas tree a book that many of you probably want and that is A Court of Wings and a Ruin which is a third book in the A Court of One and a Rosa series by Sarah J. Marce and yeah, excitement very much. I'm so excited to like for the cover review as well. Oh my god. That's gonna have to be coming soon. And mine is Straight to the Dreamer by Laini Taylor because I need that in my life so bad and like everyone on Twitter is getting arks at the moment and I can't deal with life. Form of torture. It is. It's like I was saying them and I'm like I want it. I hate arks and at the same time I love them. Like when somebody else gets them it's like why? And then you get them and it's just like woo! Question number two is if you could give only one book as a present, what book would it be and to who? So the book I'm going with for this question is Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. A happy like fun cute read. Simon. I know. So like whether you're in a happy mood or a sad mood or any kind of mood I think everyone should read this because it will make you just so happy and smile the entire time. It's the perfect. I love it. Perfect. And I would surprise surprise do the book thief by Marcus Duzet. She copied my answer. It's cause it's a good answer but everybody should read the book thief because it's once again another perfect book and it's kind of a life changing book. So read it. It's amazing. Question number three is what books go on the naughty list? So these are basically bad books that you've read. I have three books each that we think goes on the naughty list this year and first one is Nerve by Jan Ryan and this became a movie with Emma Roberts and Dave Franco. And so like I was so excited because the trailer was awesome. So I was like cool. I read the book. Yeah the movie is much better. The book was a real let down. So that's a naughty book. Second one. I did like this book but they did this trope that I really hate in it and so it's going on the naughty list because it was bad, bad. And there's The Winner's Kiss by Maria Rotkowski. If you guys have read it you know exactly what I'm talking about but I won't spoil it. I have. Yeah well you'll know. And lastly I have The Diabolik by S.J. King Cade. This was recently released in November. Something like that you know. Yeah and this although it's an amazing sci-fi book the world winning in it is absolutely amazing. The storyline for me about half way through just kind of dropped and I didn't enjoy it so that goes naughty. The books on my naughty list first of all is like one of my most hated series of all time ever and that is Halo by Alexandra Aronero. I haven't read the last book in this series because I don't want to like torture myself. But basically I just found this really problematic. I hate the main character. I think it's like really really sexist as well. I can't, I can't deal at all. Naughty. It does my head in. It's very naughty. And the second lot of books that are on my naughty list are the Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick. Oh yeah. And again this is just another series that I could not finish because like I read up to book three I think. And I hate the main character. I hate the love interest because he's like naughty but in a really really like crappy way. Yeah. And yeah not very nice people at all. And the last book that is on my naughty list is Truth Witch by Susan Dennard. While I had a lot of potential I didn't really enjoy it. Like I thought it was super over-hyped and here the book is now covering Tilly's face. She's become a book. But I hate them. And number four is what books go on the nice list which is good books that you have read this year. And there are plenty. I had to narrow this down to just four books because you know yeah it's a good book. The first one obviously we both love it. That is Gemina by Amy Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. This is the second in the Illuminae files. The first one is Illuminae. So this book is absolutely amazing. It has got like characters that are great plot that's great. The way that it's written to is really fast paced and you guys will just tear through it. It is this savage song by Victoria Schwab. I wasn't sure if she had the video or not. I really liked this. And it's one of those books that when I was reading it I enjoyed it. And I'm still thinking about it and I still really enjoy it. So that's good. And the second one comes out next year. Like most book series that. Most book series I've looked at you. I caught up Mr. and Piri by Sarah J. Marz. And this is another like favorite book. So of course it's going on the nice list. And lastly for another well-loved book. Amazing. Phenomenal. Definitely one of the best books of 2016. Cricket Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. I love it so much. It's so crazy. It's ruined my life. I love it. And I'm okay with it. My piles all over the place. So the books that I have on my nice list. It's first of all The Pause by John Larkin. And those of you who maybe watch my channel would know how much I'm obsessed with this book. It is about a boy named Declan. And he ends up teetering on the edge of committing suicide. And it really explores depression in a really, really like realistic, raw kind of way. It's so well done. Like it's one of my favorite books ever. I loved it so much. Definitely on my nice list. And the second book on my nice list is A Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laney Taylor. And... Laney Taylor. Taylor. Good to have every day of your time. Yeah, I love Laney Taylor. I love Laney Taylor so much. She's one of my all-time favorite authors. I think everyone needs to read this book. Because characters are amazing. The world-building is amazing. The plot is amazing. And just amazing. This whole book is amazing. Read it. Yeah. Do it. And the last book on my nice list is Six of Crows by Lee Bardugo. So good. I just recently read both this and Crooked Kingdom. And it's literally taken over my life. Like, I'm obsessed with all of the characters. Yeah, you can't not. But if none of you have read it, you totally should because it's totally worth the read. It's worth the hype. I think that in any of these books in this pile that you guys have to read, I would say Six of Crows. Question number five is which characters would you guys invite over for Christmas dinner? Can you imagine having one big party with all of our chosen characters? Because we've all got pretty decent ones there. We wouldn't be partying. We'd just be eating. Come off. This was really hard because there are so many characters that I love but not necessarily good for a dinner party. So I'm going to go with Rosa Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series just because I want to be best friends with her. Yes. I love her. She's funny and she's badass. And if she's on your side, you've got the best friend. It's the best thing ever. If she was on your side. Yeah. Definitely Rosa Hathaway. And then there is Zuzanna from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series as well. And I know I just mentioned this but I think Zuzanna would be so entertaining and so funny at a dinner party and she'd just be the perfect friend to have them because she'd make you laugh as well. Yes. Which I think is super important. She does. And lastly. Just the same book. I'm getting lifted back up. Another repeat is Nina from Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom. Nina loves food. I love food. Everyone loves food. Everyone loves food. Especially at Christmas. So why not? She'd be like the perfect dinner. Yes. I would have Nina. I would have someone who would be a real good person to have that are bad. Kind of like Rosa Hathaway. I hope they'd be on my side. And that is Laurent from Captive Prince. Have you read this? Not yet. Oh my god. I own it but I... It's like it's good. Like the first book is a bit like weird. And then the second and third book is absolutely amazing. But like Laurent is like this really smart character who just does so many mind games. But it'd be so fun to be his friend and like be in on the mind games and watch it. Then I would also pick Lysandra from Throne of Glass. To me she is very much like Nina from Six of Crows and since we all love her we're gonna love Lysandra too. Lysandra is awesome. Let's be real. Yeah. If you don't like Lysandra then what are you guys doing? I would have thrown from the Lunar Chronicles as my last guest because he is hilarious and we loved him lots and he would just be so fun to have there. I think he's like one of those characters that would be nice enough to like, you know, help bring out the food and then take the food away and wash the dishes and stuff. Perfect dinner party. Yes. Question number six is pick two favorite characters. What gift would they give each other? So the two characters I would pick are from Six of Crows. If you can't tell as soon as I thought of Six of Crows I couldn't stop thinking of Six of Crows. Six of Crows everything. I know. And Vampire Academy as well. So I'm going with Nina from Six of Crows because I love her. And Nina. And Adrian from Vampire Academy and I think they would just give each other food because Adrian's like super nice and he would like go out of his way to like cook things and bake things and all of that kind of stuff. Picture like a little apron. Yeah. Yeah. A kiss the chef apron. Yeah. Exactly. Totally wear that. Yeah. Like homemade baked goods. And then I think Nina would just give him food that she wants to eat. Yeah. Like do you want to share this? Yeah. Got me this cake. Yeah. But I want half. I think that's what she would be like. My characters. I chose Liza from the Book Thief because of course the Book Thief look at that beautiful. And I also chose Kell from A Darker Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab because you know we love him. I think that Kell would obviously get Liza a book. He would smuggle one through the little magical places the different London's and give her that like amazing book and she'll be so thankful for it. And I think that Liza like would either steal him a book or make him a book that's like about magic. Like she'd write a book about him. Yeah. Or maybe like somehow steal a cape from somewhere. Like I don't know. She would steal it. Yeah. But I think that like they'd both be pretty happy with that. Yeah. Yeah. So question seven. The final question of this tag and it is pass along the gift of giving and tag your friends. So we have five people we're going to tag on the video and then we'll tag a bunch of other ones on the comments because we want so many of you guys to do this video. We want to see your faces on the camera. We're really happy about this series. Yes. Yes. Oops. Not from happy comes first. Chammy from Read Like Wildfire. Kacia from Books K. Kaz from Little Book L.
