Fall Time Cozy Books | TAG

Hey guys!

I was tagged by Prima over at Panda Hearts Books to do this tag. Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year and currently the one I am living through right now. As the days start to get colder, all I want to do is drink tea and cozy on up with a good book. So this tag was just to perfect for my current mood!

Crunching Leaves

The world is full of colour – Book that has a red/orange/yellow cover

This cover of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is perfect. With nice shades of red and orange with a backdrop of a setting sun it just screams cozy time!

Cozy Sweater

Book that gives you the warm fuzzies

This book right here, Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda gave me the biggest fuzzies ever. It was absolutely adorable and cute and just the best coming of age/coming out story I have read in a long time. It’s a must read!

Fall Storm

Favorite book or genre for a rainy day

I usually like to spend rainy days watching movies or TV shows in bed. But if I’m going to read something, it will most likely be a mystery or thriller like, The Snow Empress. That book would be perfect for a fall storm.

Cool Crisp Air

The coolest character that you would love to trade places with

I would choose Aelin from Queen of Shadows for a couple reasons. One would be because she is a cool assassin, two would be because she has cool magical powers, but the most important reason would have to be: so I can share a bed with Rowan… and you know… do other things with him!

Hot Apple Cider

An underhyped book that should become the next best thing

I feel like A Dance of Cloaks is not hyped up enough. Its a pretty solid high fantasy novel that not a lot of people are reading. So this is my invitation to you guys to go out and get yourself a copy. If you like assassins and general badassery, then you will love this book!

P.S. It’s also a six book series. You can thank me later!

Coat, Scarves and Mittens

Fall is the time to cover up – book that has an embarrassing cover that you would keep hidden in public

The original cover of Throne of Glass is hideous and would therefore need to be covered up from the general viewing of the public. Thankfully the publisher realized this and did a cover change that is better suited for what the novel embodies.

Can publishers just stop using cover models please. It’s not cute.

Pumpkin Spice

Favorite fall time comfort food/ drink?

For drink, I would have to say black tea. Preferably English Breakfast or Orange Pekoe.

For food it would have to be Korean Soon Tofu. Its hot and soup based and just perfect for cold brisk fall/winter days!

Well there you have it! I hope you feel all warm and cozy this fall season. Grab your drink of choice and a good book like I will and enjoy. It’s that simple!

Until next time,

I TAG YOU:

Sara @ Freadom Library

Zezee @ Zezee with Books

Lois @ My Midnight Musings

Ashley @ Socially Awkward Bookworm

Windie @ Geek Apprentice

Author Duos That Need to Write a Book Together | Top 10 Tuesday [13]

Hey guys!

This week’s topic is Top 10 Author Duos That Need to Write a Book Together.

I found this topic to be a real hard one to do. I kind of prefer the books I read to be written by one person. But since this is a long shot from happening in real life I decided to team up authors who write similar genres that could probably come up with EPIC stories together. Let’s see who I’ve paired up!

10. Rainbow Rowell & Sarah Dessen

These are some of the queens of contemporary and I feel like together they would be able to write the perfect romance filled with heartbreak and happiness!

9. Leigh Bardugo & Victoria Aveyard

This might be an unpopular one, but since I’m full of unpopular opinions, then why not. They both write great books with cool superpowers. So with Bardugo’s written perfection and Aveyard’s over the top cinematic ideas, I think this duo would be able to write an awesome fantasy series!

8. Suzanne Collins & Marie Lu

I feel like these ladies are the queens of dystopians. They have widely succesful series’ already under their belts so why not team up and write one together. Only good things could come from both of these authors!

7. Sarah J. Maas & David Dalglish

Both Maas and Dalglish have series with pretty freaking badass assassin’s set in similar worlds so why not merge the two and have a crossover type book with Celaena and Aaron fighting alongside each other. Or sent to kill each other. That would be EPIC!

6. Jennifer Niven & Jasmine Warga

These ladies both released their debut novels this year and both practically had me tears after reading them. They really know how to pull on your heart strings. Therefore they should team up and have me crying like a big baby reading their book together.

5. Sara Raasch & Morgan Rhodes

These two ladies know how to write an epic fantasy adventure! I’m in love with both their series’ that I feel like they should team up and write an EPIC story about kingdoms, magic, and death! I would be first in line for that one!

4. Pierce Brown & Marissa Meyer

Can we just take a step back and appreciate Pierce Brown’s author photo for a minute. I have the biggest crush on that guy.

Anyway… both Brown and Meyer have what it takes to write the best sci-fi adventures. With Brown’s kickass brutality, and Meyer’s magical fairytales, I think they would be able to write something amazing together.

3. Cassandra Clare & Stephenie Meyer

The Queens of supernatural YA. I don’t care what you guys say about Twilight and The Mortal Instruments, but they are golden! Which is why I think these two ladies right here would be able to make something special with vampires, werewolves and anything else they would be able to create together!

2. Adam Silvera & Becky Albertalli

Having just released their debut novels this year, these two have sky rocketed to my favorite authors lists. They write truly meaningful LGBTQ stories and I would die of happiness if they teamed up together to make another one!

1. Morgan Rhodes & Sarah J. Maas

And here we have the most EPIC author duo that could ever happen (at least for me). Two of my all time favorites right here. Both write high fantasy and have series’ that I am totally in love with.

If they were to team up, then the world would be complete and they could do no wrong together!

Well there you have it! The Top 10 Author Duos That Need to Write a Book Together. Do we share any of the same duos? Who would you choose? Let me know down below!

Until next time,
