30 Day Book Challenge-Day 19

So I've been MIA for a little while. Mostly I was just taking a break from blogging because after almost 3 years it had started to feel like a chore and that is not how I wanted to look at it all. Now I finally feel ready to start posting again. And what better way to start the habit of posting regularly again than doing a 30 day challenge. So for 30 days in August I'll be posting daily for the challenge, and on August 31st I'll post a surprise!
Now, just to put this out there right now, I reserve the right to cheat on this challenge. Cheat as in if it asks for one favorite book...I might put two...or 5.
Let the challenge begin!

A BOOK THAT DISAPPOINTED YOU

TRIS & IZZIE BY METTE IVIE HARRISON

This has to be one of my favorite book covers ever. It is just beautiful and was perfect for a retelling of Tristan and Isolde.

But the story was childish and felt like it still needed editing. I felt so let down when I finished it.

And that kids is why you don't judge a book by its cover.

FAVORITE QUOTE FROM YOUR FAVORITE BOOK

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS BY JOHN GREEN

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.” 

“You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail.” 

“Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence” 

“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” 

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE SUMMER BY JENNY HAN

“He didn’t give me flowers or candy. He gave me the moon and the stars. Infinity."

I got a little behind this week due to the fact that I was participating in the 48 Hour Film Festival here in my town so that took up my entire weekend.

FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER

FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER

Since I'm playing catch up with my posts I decided to combine days 15 & 16. I have a ton of favorite characters so I have picked a few books that have both a favorite male and female character.

VAMPIRE ACADEMY BY RICHELLE MEAD

 Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov

Rose is such a strong character that can get things done by herself.

It's only when she meets the equally as strong Dimitri that she lets herself rely on someone.

Dimitri is, and always will be, one of my favorite male characters. He's strong and courageous and not a complete idiot like a lot of tough guys are portrayed.

DIVERGENT BY VERONICA ROTH

Tris and Four

Tris didn't make a popular decision but it changed her life in an incredible way.

And Four is just Four. Strong, commanding presence, a fighter, and pushes Tris past what she thinks she is capable of.

THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY BY JENNY HAN

Belly and Conrad

The girl who is trying to figure out who she wants to be and the guy that is much more than he seems. 

I love these two, both together and apart.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS BY JOHN GREEN

Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters

 Read the book and you'll understand just what I mean.

They are wonderful.

Keep tissues close by though.
