Pokemon Go Book Tag

I have no idea where I originally found this as it was so long ago… I probably should have written it down.

But this, my friends, is the Pokemon Go Book Tag

Starters: The book that started your love for reading.

I feel like this one is going to be obvious…

Actually I read a lot of picture books before I read Harry Potter, but the only ones I really remember were LILY’S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE (which I named my cat after), and IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE.

Pikachu: An iconic classic you’ll always love.

Come on, who doesn’t love HOLES? It’s a children’s classic by now. If only, if only the woodpecker sighed…

Zubat: A book that you lost interest in because it’s literally EVERYWHERE.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone has been talked about for….I don’t even know how long. And at this point I just don’t care about the trilogy or Laini Taylor.

Ditto: A Book that reminds you of another book that you love anyway.

The plot of PAWN is basically AMONG THE BARONS by Margaret Peterson Haddix, but I still enjoyed reading it.

Snorlax: A book/series that you have not started because of sheer size.

So this series has taken FOREVER to get it’s third book out and these first two are both massive. So I have been waiting until the last book was released to tackle these monsters.

Gengar: A book that kept you up late a night.

I read this book cover to cover one night, staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning to finish. It only took me a couple of hours and still sits among my favorite contemporaries of all time.

Nidoking/Queen: Your bookish OTP

Darkling/ Alina! I don’t care what anyone says, it’s a thing!

Rapidash: A fire-hot, fast paced read.

I think I read this book in about a day or two. It didn’t matter that it was a sizable book, I got through it so fast I hardly even noticed I was nearing the end until it was over.

Eevee: A series you’ll never get tired of reading spin offs for.

GRISHA FOREVER! If it’s Grishaverse, I’ll read it. I don’t even care. If it has Grisha characters I want it on my shelf. Novella? Mine. Folk tales? Mine. Special edition? Mine, mine, mine.

Magikarp: A series that was surprisingly awesome.

I kinda didn’t expect this series to be as awesome as it was, particularly the later books. Though GIRL OF FIRE OF THORNS wasn’t amazing, the subsequent 2 books definitely were.

Legendary: An overhyped series you’re still excited to read.

So TECHNICALLY I have started this book, but I stopped halfway through because my ADHD brain got distracted by a different shiny.

Mew and Mewtwo: A collector’s edition you wished you owned.

I kinda want all the editions of ACOMAF because I’m obsessed with it. But I have self control. Kinda. Sometimes.

Poke-Egg: A debut novel you’re excited for.

Honestly I can’t pick one. I guess if you twisted my arm it would be FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS by Julie Dao but I have so many on my shelves that I can’t pick one over another.

Lure Module: A autobuy author.

Server’s Down: A release that you’ve been waiting for forever.
