I generally don't do, but I wanted to change it up and do something fun and different! I was tagged by Kristin of My Life as a Teacup (watch her video!) for the Avengers / Book Nerdery Tag, and I was tagged by Kristin of Super Space Chick (read her blog post!) for the Four Things Tag. I swear it's just a coincidence I was tagged by two awesome young ladies who both happened to be named Kristin.
Iron Man - A book that made you laugh out loud: Yes Please by Amy Poehler
This book is absolutely hilarious! I just finished listening to the audiobook because Amy Poehler reads it herself and has guests, like Patrick Stewart and Seth Meyers. She's so candid about everything from her comedy to her family to sex and I literally couldn't stop laughing. I generally don't do tags, but I wanted to change it up and do something fun and different!
Captain America - A book that sends a positive message: In Real Life by Cory Doctorow and Jen Wang
This graphic novel is about a teenage girl who joins an online role-playing game and meets people from all over the world. She breaks out of her shell online and in real life, and helps a young man in China via the game who is having real problems trouble at work. I like that it's about people coming together to help one another.
Thor - A book with a character whose strength you admire: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
Sharhzad is one tough young lady. The young king takes a new bride every night and kills them every morning. One day, Shar volunteers to be his newest bride with the intention to kill the king for murdering her best friend, but she finds that things are not as they seem. Shar is strong in the face of adversity that comes from all sides.
Black Widow - A book with a kick-butt female protagonist: Cinder by Marissa Meyer
How could I not pick Cinder?! Cinder is a cyborg and gifted mechanic whose life gets intertwined with Prince Kai and soon she's in the middle of an intergalactic struggle for power. She's intelligent, clever, tough, and just plain bad ass.
The Hulk - A book that made you incredibly angry: Death By Coffee by Alex Erickson
Please do not read this. The whole thing is just completely ridiculous. You can read my rant here.
Hawkeye - An underrated book you wish more people would pay attention to: Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano
I really loved this book! It's a moody YA dystopian book about a city floating in the sky and the people there are forbidden from getting too close to the edge. Life is pretty idyllic until there's a murder. I loved Morgan's slow transition from a girl who believes in and loves this city to one disheartened with it's people and beliefs.
[BONUS] Loki - A book with a twist or surprise that tricked you: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I did not see that twist at the ending coming! Reds are commoners and Silvers are nobility with powers. Mare is a Red girl, but after getting a job at the palace she discovers that despite her red blood she has a deadly power of her own.
