The Pixar Book Tag

I was tagged by the lovely Yvonne from A World Between Folded Pages ♥

Toy Story — A book where you wanted the characters to come to life.

This is a pretty hard question because there are so many books where I want the characters to come to life. But I think I would pick the W.A.R.P. trilogy by Eoin Colfer. Riley and Chevie in particular. And Otto Malarkey, too, because I love him and he can introduce me to Conor Broekhart. It would be the most fun to hang out with Riley I think because he's from the Victorian era. 



A Bugs Life — A character who goes through a transformation.

Easy one! Mac from Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. And maybe Dani too. Oooh and Christian! There are obviously a lot of characters who go through a transformation in the Fever series but I think Mac, Dani and Christian change the most. 





Up — A book whose characters quickly made you become emotionally invested in.

Going with a recent read for this one. A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas It's crazy how emotionally invested I am with the characters in this book. Like seriously...



Finding Nemo — “P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney” A book that has an address or quote that’s burned into your memory forever.

Going back to the Fever series with this one → '1247 LaRuhe' It is the address of the Lord Master a.k.a. Darroc, which is located in a Dark Zone in Dublin in the books.



The Incredibles — Coolest Book Family.

The Blackthorn family from Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. I loooove the Blackthorn siblings. They're definitely one of the coolest book families out there.


Monsters Inc. — A strong character develops a soft side for someone.

At first I wanted to go with Barrons who develops a soft side for Mac but I've mentioned the Fever series twice already so I'm just gonna go with Holly Short from Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series who develops a soft side for well... Artemis Fowl. And vice versa too!






Cars 1, 2, 3 — A book that keeps getting sequels you feel are not needed.

The Selection series by Kiera Cass. I really dislike using the word hate but this series... Although I have only read the first three, I think it should've stopped after book #3. There is no other series that annoys me more. Just... ugh!




Ratatouille — A book featuring a non-human/humanoid.

The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite series so it's no wonder I'm picking Cinder for this one!





Wall-E — A book that made you lonely.

Hmm... I don't want to say Airman by Eoin Colfer made me feel lonely exactly. I felt the main character's loneliness is more accurate, I think. This book is brilliant and one of the author's best book but it's also kind of sad at some points. Especially when Conor Broekhart is imprisoned.


Brave — Name a book with a strong mother/daughter relationship.

I'm kind of stuck with this question because there aren't many strong mother/daughter relationships in the books I have read. Kind of sad! But if I have to answer then I would say Clary and Jocelyn from The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. Clary goes through a lot to save her mother in that first book.





Inside Out — Name a book that could be one of your core memories.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. I didn't even have to think about that one. This book means so freaking much to me. It's been my favorite book since I was 13/14 and I believe it will always be my favorite. ♥

And as always anyone who feels like doing this tag can do it.

Here we go...

1. Is there a book that you really want to read but haven't because you know it'll make you cry?

For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison. I've read the first 4 books in this series but never made it past that because I read a spoiler about a certain character dying in the 5th book. I'm not entirely sure how it will happen but this character happens to be my favorite in the series so yeah I haven't been in any hurry to read it. 






2. Pick one book that helped introduce you to a new genre


The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. I didn't think I'd enoy a mystery book like this and I tried to because 1. it's J.K. Rowling and 2. it was a christmas gift so I felt like I had to at least try it. I ended up LOVING it. 











3. Find a book that you want to reread.

Just one? Hmm... Then I'd go for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling. I read it (in English) the first time in 2012 but I definitely want to re-read it this year if I get the chance.





4. Is there a book series you read but wish that you hadn't?

The Selection series by Keira Cass. This is one of those series that I have a huge love/hate relationship with. My feelings for it lean more towards the hate side lately, though. The covers are gorgeous and the first book was good enough, but the second was simply awful. The third was okay. But in the end the books have frustrated me so much. And then there's another one on the way. God help me. 






5. If your house was burning down and all of your family and pets were safe, which book would you go back inside to save?

That question is just cruel. How can I choose just one book? I'd actually be more likely to go back inside and save my Kindle... but if I do have to choose one book I'd pick Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. My favorite book of all time. I can't be without it!

6. Is there one book on your bookshelf that brings back fond memories?

At first I wanted to pick Artemis Fowl again but since I already used it in the previous question I'll go for the next best thing which is... Airman by Eoin Colfer. Just like AF this is one of my favorite books. Such a beautiful story. I'm not sure when I first read it... maybe when I was 14 or 15 so there's definitely some nostalgia involved there.

7. Find a book that has inspired you the most.

Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult. Aside from being a beautiful and mysterious story it has also inspired me with the elephant stories to try to donate a bit to causes that help elephants. It's just little thing but it's something, right?





8. Do you have any autographed books?

Yes! I actually have a bunch of signed books so I will show some of my favorites. 

Splintered by A.G. Howard - This was one of my first signed books ever. Anita really is one of the nicest authors ever!

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - A few months ago I won this book and the other two in a giveaway and I even received them signed for me. Pretty cool!

Lover, Divine by A. Star (a.k.a Diantha Jones)

Prophecy of the Setting Sunrise by Diantha Jones

These two are probably my favorites. I love the way Diantha signed them for me. She's just so very awesome!

9. Find the book that you have owned the longest.

Again, Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Even before getting this book (and the series) in English I had them in Dutch ever since I was 14. ♥








10. Is there a book by an author that you never imagined you would read or enjoy?

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This has never been a favorite genre of mine so I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did. But the book is really gorgeous.
