Bookish Survey: Greek Mythology Style - Part Two!

Created by Jasmine @ Flip That Page

Without further ado, here is part two of the survey! =D

Percy Jackson

a brave, spirited natural leader with a sarcastic sense of humor, and a will to save friends and enemies alike

Favorite protagonist: MacKayla Lane from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning - The first one coming to mind is Mac. Why? She's a great leading character who came a long way from being the sparkly blonde to asskicking fae slayer!

Annabeth Chase

intellectual genius with a strong mind, brave heart, and a love for architecture

Series / book with the cleverest plot: Oracle of Delphi by Diantha Jones - Also the first one coming to mind because in each book there's this prophecy. I always try to find out what it means. I never do, though. But in the end it always makes sense. I just love it!

Jason Grace

 has a moderate sense of humor, but a strong sense of honor, justice and compassion, often described as perfect

Book with an epic finale: The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer - The last Artemis Fowl book and yes it was pretty epic. I hated to see this series ending but it was a fantastic and unexpected ending!

Piper McLean

aggressive and persuasive but down to earth, caring and loving towards Jason, her friends and family

Book with a tempting synopsis (one you haven’t read!): Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shecter - I love this author, I love books that have to do with ancient Egypt and the description sounds pretty intriguing. I'd love to read about Cleopatra and Mark Anthony's daughter!

Leo Valdez

good-natured and energetic, funny but intelligent, honest and witty, and is skilled with machines

Book that made you laugh: Anubis Speaks! by Vicky Alvear Shecter - Again a book by this author but it really made me laugh. It was written in a way that was very entertaining. Anubis is so funny!

Hazel Levesque

bright  and outgoing despite an unfortunate childhood, is mature for her age and has a love for horseback riding

Favorite character with a tragic past: Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare - Could I have picked anyone else? No. Definitely not. Will is by far my favorite character with a tragic past. 

Frank Zhang

somewhat shy, cynical, and clumsy, though he possesses a strong sense of duty, loyalty, and love

Book you loved more than you thought you would: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - I thought this would be a book for me because I've never been really into this genre or topic but I ended up loving it, although it's really sad and now John Green is one of my favorite authors!

Nico di Angelo

grim, solitary, powerful and mysterious, highly unpredictable and selectively affectionate

Most mysterious character you’ve ever encountered: Jericho Barrons from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning - Who else, right? We've had five books in this series and still Barrons is an enigma!

Grover Underwood

cheerful, upbeat and protective satyr who chews on furniture when he gets nervous

Book you won’t read due to warnings against them: I really don't know... but I do tend to stay away from books that have angels in them.

Clarisse La Rue

arrogant and hot-tempered, but brave, strong and protective of camp

Most annoying character: Adam from Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi - I'm saying Ignite Me because he was the most annoying in this book. What the hell was wrong with him. Seriously... It's like he turned into a psycho, which is saying a lot since I used to think Warner was the psycho.

The end! ^^

Bookish Survey: Greek Mythology Style - Part One!

Created by Jasmine @ Flip That Page 

This survey is in the style of Percy Jackson. I've only read the first book in that series but I loooooove Greek Mythology so even though this was done a while back I still wanted to do this survey. 

This is part one, I will post the second part next week because it's a loooong survey.

So here we go!

Zeus (Jupiter)

God of the Sky and Thunder / King of the Gods

Favorite book (choose your own category!): Airman by Eoin Colfer - Usually I'd say Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is my favorite book, but I re-read Airman not so long ago and I must admit that I think this is Colfer's best work. I'd just forgotten how amazing and beautiful this story was.

Poseidon (Neptune)

God of the Seas and Earthquakes

Book that drowned you in feels: The Fault of Our Stars by John Green - This book was a very unexpected read for me. I hadn't planned on reading it because I didn't think it was my kind of book but then a friend of mine send it to me and I kind of had to. I loved it, I cried, I drowned in feels and now I'm planning to see the movie soon. 

Hades (Pluto)

God of the Underworld

Favorite book with a dark / ominous plot: Nevermore by Kelly Creagh - Not only is this one of my favorite books ever but it's also deliciously dark, especially the Edgar Allan Poe things that are involved.

Hera (Juno)

Goddess of Marriage and Family

Cutest fictional couple: Wanda and Ian from The Host by Stephenie Meyer - Gosh, this was a hard one. I know so many cute fictional couples but I decided to go with an old favorite of mine. Wanda and Ian, well, they were just so adorable together and Ian didn't even care that she's a Soul. Cheetos = true love! 

Athena(Minerva)

Goddess of Wisdom, Handicraft and Strategic Warfare

Series with the best world-building: Fever series by Karen Marie Moning - This series has by far the best world-building ever and with every book we find out more and more about this dark and complex world!

Aphrodite (Venus)

Goddess of Love and Beauty

Most beautiful cover on a 2014 release: Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge - I read this book so long ago, it's hard to remember this is actually a 2014 release. The cover is amazing and so is the book. I loved the cover so much that even though I read it as an e-arc that I bought a physical copy.

Ares (Mars)

God of War and Bloodshed

Most violent book you’ve ever read: Quintessentially Q by Pepper Winters - This book is by far the most violent book I've ever read. I loved it, though!

Hephaestus (Vulcan)

God of Blacksmiths and Fire

Scorching hot swoon worthy character: Apollo from Lover, Divine by A. Star - Apollo in this book was definitely "scorching hot swoon worthy". I'm glad we got to see this side of him. 

Artemis (Diana)

Goddess of the Hunt and Virginity

Favorite Kick-Ass Heroine: Holly Short from Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer - Nobody kicks ass like Captain Holly Short. She's the first female captain of the LEP (Lower Elements Police) and that is all kinds of awesome! 

Phoebus Apollo (Apollo)

God of Light and Healing

Sequel book that redeemed its series: The One by Kiera Cass - This is a hard one but I decided to go with this book. I loved the first book (The Selection) by hated the second one (The Elite), which caused me to dislike everything in this series. But The One wasn't actually bad. I had expected the worst but I did like the ending so you can say it's redeemed the series.

Hermes (Mercury)

Messenger God of Thieves and Commerce

Book with the best message: The Wish List by Eoin Colfer - This is maybe a strange choice but this was another hard one for me to think about. I don't read a lot of books that have deep messages but I think The Wish List has a pretty good one: 'It's never too late for redemption and helping other people.'

Hestia (Vesta)

Goddess of the Hearth and Home

Book with the most relatable character: Katy from Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Okay, so I cheated with this question. It was supposed to be most relatable story but I couldn't quite find one so I changed it to character. Aside from her association with the aliens (because, no, I never met or lived next door to aliens... YET!) Katy is pretty alike to me I guess, with her being a blogger and how she fangirls over books. Wouldn't mind meeting Daemon, though...

Demeter (Ceres)

Goddess of Fertility and Agriculture

Favorite bookish setting: Haven City from Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer - I've always dreamed to go to Haven City. I guess you could compare it to any major city that we have in the world, only it's underground with fairies, elves, dwarves, goblins, pixies and so on... 

Dionysus (Bacchus)

God of Wine and Celebration

2014 / 2015 release you are most anticipating: Burned by Karen Marie Moning - There is no other book that I'm more excited about. It's been pushed back a lot, but hey, perfection takes time. I'm sure once it comes out (January 20th 2015) that we're all going to be amazed!

And that was part one, people.
Do you have a favorite question or answer? 

Let me know what you think!

Bookish Survey: Cast a Harry Potter Spell!

Created by Jasmine @ Flip That Page

The aim of this survey is to cast spells from Harry Potter on certain books.
For more details go here.

Reparo

fixes damaged objects

A book that needs some serious fixing: Lycan Unleashed by Tiffany Allee. I actually finished this book just yesterday so it was easy to pick. I loved the two previous books in this series and this one was just so bad.

Lumos

creates a narrow beam of light

A book that deserves more attention: Daughter of the Sky by Michelle Diener. Also a recent book I read and it was beyond amazing. It definitely deserves more attention, a lot attention actually!

Nox

counters the effects of Lumos

An overhyped book: Divergent by Veronica Roth. A lot of people might want to kill me right now, but although I did like Divergent I didn't think it was anything special.

Accio

summons an object from a significant distance

A book you’re anticipating: Burned by Karen Marie Moning. Kind of hard putting up just one because there are so many I'm highly anticipating. But Burned has got to be the #1!

Alohomora

opens unlocked doors, unless bewitched

A book you want to be more open about: The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. I would love to read these books but they intimidate me so much.

Expecto Patronum

conjures an incarnation of positive feelings

A book that made you cry, or at least want to: Tiger Lily by Jody Lynn Anderson. This book was sooo beautiful but sooo sad. Brilliant book!

Morsmordre

conjures the Dark Mark

A book you wish to mark as one of your favorites: Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge. This is definitley one of my favorites. The writing was gorgeous and the story amazing!

Petrificus Totalus

petrifies victim

A book you wish to keep forever: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Yes, a classic one. I just love it so much. 

Protego

shield charm

An intimidating book you keep putting off: The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling. Yeah. I got this for Christmas last year and still haven't read it. 

Riddikulus

used against a boggart

A book with a deceiving synopsis: Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins. The description of it sounded really great but then it just sucked.

Lacarnum Inflamarae

shoots fireballs

A book you wish to burn out of your mind completely: The Elite by Kiera Cass. Just... awful...

Wingardium Leviosa

levitates objects

A book you wish to reread: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones. Amazing book!

Avada Kedavra

causes instant death

Worst book EVER: The Elite by Kiera Cass. Again. Ugh.

Stupefy

puts victim in unconscious state

A book with a chapter you couldn’t seem to get over: One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. Chapter 32, yo! :D So hot!

Confundo

causes befuddlement or forgetfulness

A book that generally confused you: A Sealed Fate by Lisa Gordon. This is the only book by this author and it was just all WTF moments throughout it. Yikes.

Crucio

inflicts unbearable pain

A book that was a pain to read: Romancing the Bookworm by Kate Evangelista. My dislike for this book all started with a book being thrown into the ocean by the best friend and since then it was all too awful and painful to read.

Episkey

heals relatively minor injuries

A feel good book that you enjoyed: I'll have to pass with this one. I don't usually real "feel good books". 

Expelliarmus

temporarily disarms an opponent

A book with a swoon-worthy character: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. ADRIAN IVASHKOV! Don't you just love him? <3

Impedimenta

impedes target’s progress

A book that kept you up all night reading: Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning. Looooooved this book. 

Silencio

immediate silencing

A book that left you speechless after you read it: Daughter of the Sky by Michelle Diener. This book wow'ed me so much!

Legilimens

allows you to delve into someone’s mind

A book with well-developed characters: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Definitely this book/series! Amazing characters that were all well-developed.

Levicorpus

a spell that turns you upside down

A book that changed your mind about a character from its prequel: The Elite by Kiera Cass. It changed my mind for the worse but still it was changed. I used to love Maxon in The Selection but now I hate him.

Obliviate

used to hide memories

A book with a story you can’t remember: Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I totally can't remember what happened in this book... And I don't want to.

Peskipiksi Pesternomi

useless spell

A boring book that had absolutely no effect on you: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. So. Damn. Boring.

Reducto

breaks through solid objects

A book that convinced you to reconsider a certain genre: Girl with Guitar by Caisey Quinn. I didn't read a lot of new adult books before this one.

Rictusempra

tickling spell

A book that made you laugh: My Love Lies Bleeding by Alyxandra Harvey. So funny at times. :D

Sectusempra

offensive spell that violently wounds the target

A book that may have scarred you for life: I don't think any book has scarred me for life. So far... 

Tarantallegra

makes you dance uncontrollably

A series finale that made you feel giddy: Oracle of Delphi by Diantha Jones. I love this series. Everytime a book comes out from it I want to dance to I'm So Excited!

Bombarda Maxima

causes an explosion that breaks through obstacles

A book that made you explode with the feels: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. Again... ADRIAN IVASHKOV, people!

Finite Incantatem

nullifies other spells

A book you thought you’d dislike, but ended up loving: Blood Vine by Amber Belldene. Lately I had read so many wannabe vampire books that I gave up hope to find another great series and then Blood Vine happened!
