3 Things Tag

Today, instead of a new edition of Filling Up The Weekend; I found this 3 things tag on a dutch book blog: Craving Pages. There are a lot of different versions of it, like; beauty, fashion, lifestyle and so on. I thought it was a pretty cool thing to do so I translated it to English and here it is!

3 favorite stand-alone books

- Heaven, Texas by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Now technically this isn’t a stand-alone book, but because you can easily read it without reading the other ones, I think I’m allowed to put this here.

- Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. So tragic and yet so beautiful.

- Easy by Tammara Webber. This book is so good! If you haven’t read it yet, you should check out my review. It’s an awesome New Adult novel.

3 favorite series

- Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward. Probably my favorite series of all time. Ward can keep writing about the brothers forever, as far as I’m concerned.

- Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I can reread these books a hundred times and still not get tired of them.

- The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I can’t put into words how much I love The Host. It’s torture waiting for the second book, but I know it’s gonna be worth it.

3 favorite genres

- Paranormal Romance

- New Adult

- Chick lit

3 favorite heroines

- Katy (Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout) She’s sassy, cheeky and super funny. And she loves books and has her own blog. What’s not to like about that?

- Katniss (The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins) Basically, Katniss is the ultimate heroine. If you’ve read The Hunger Games you’ll probably agree with me on this.

- Georgina (Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead) She’s a badass succubus with a great sense of humor. Never got tired of reading about her life. Still sad the series is over.

3 favorite heroes

- Vishous (Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward) From the moment I started the BDB series I was intrigued by V. Imagine my joy when I discovered the fifth book in the series was about him!

- Dimitri (Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead) Gorgeous Russian Dhampir who can kick everyone’s ass. And no to mention very sexy.

- Ian (The Host series by Stephenie Meyer) I love how he’s one of the first persons who starts treating Wanda like an actual person instead of an “it”.

3 favorite villains

- Loki (Mythos Academy by Jennifer Estep) The way Estep describes Loki is super creepy. I can just imagine him walking around with half a face. Ew!

- Voldemort (Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling) I don’t think this needs any kind of explanation.

- The Strigoi (Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead) I don’t get scared of fictional characters easily but these beings are seriously scary!

3 things you use as a bookmark, when you can’t reach your normal bookmark

- A piece of paper I ripped of the first thing that I could find.

- My phone. Which works perfectly fine until I start panicking because my phone is missing..

- The tablecloth. I have one on the table next to my bed. So it’s very convenient to use that as a bookmark.

3 places where you keep your books

- Under my desk. I don’t have actual bookshelves, which is ironic considering the name of this blog, so I keep a lot of them in piles underneath my desk.

- The table next to my bed. I don’t have a real nightstand, just a big table that’s between me and my sisters bed so we can each use one side of it as a nightstand.

- On top of my closet. Again, the result of not having any bookshelves..

3 books you read last

- Alien Mate by Eve Langlais, silly sci-fi love story (18+)

- The Temptation by Alisa Valdes, you can read the review here

- Lover at Last by J.R. Ward, the 11th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series

3 favorite physical bookstores

- Barnes & Noble everywhere. The first thing I thought when I entered this bookstore for the first time in my life (which was last October) was: I’m in paradise!

- Strand bookstore in Manhattan. Huge bookstore with great deals.

- Waterstones in Amsterdam. My favorite place for English books in the Netherlands. Kind of pricy but I love the store.

3 favorite online bookstores

- Bookdepository.com Very cheap and they have everything.

- Amazon.com If you have a kindle, amazon is great because it has lots of free books every day.

- Barnesandnoble.com Everything I buy is from the two websites above, but just like in the physical store, I also love to browse their website.

3 favorite websites

- Goodreads.com

- Facebook.com

- Blogger.com

3 books you wish you'd never read

- Daisy Dooley Does Divorce by Anna Pasternak. So. Freaking. Boring.

- Nightfall (The Vampire Diaries) by L.J. Smith. This book is the reason I stopped reading the Vampire Diaries books. Super weird book. Made no sense whatsoever.

- This Charming Man by Marian Keyes. This book has four heroines and each of them has their own storyline. It was just too confusing for me. Sad I wasted time on this book.

3 authors you love

- Richelle Mead

- Susan Elizabeth Phillips

- J.R. Ward
