Twelve Days of Christmas Book Tag

So, I suppose I wasn't actually tagged specifically to do this feature, but a post at Metaphors and Moonlight technically tags anyone who wants to take part in it, so.....


A Partridge in a Pear Tree: Favourite Stand Alone Book?

 Unnatural Deeds

This is a hard one, because there are many stand alone books that I've really enjoyed. I'm going to have to say Unnatural Deeds by Cyn Balog, though, because it kept me up reading all night and I think it was just amazing. 


Two Turtle Doves: Fictional OTP / Favourite Ship?

 Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)

Oh my goodness, this is another hard one! I'm gong to choose Grace and Sam from Shiver because Sam is such a sweet guy and Grace loves him so much!


Three French Hens: Favourite Trilogy?


Eve (Eve, #1)

The Eve trilogy by Anna Carey is an amazing dystopian trilogy! Eve is a strong main character, Caleb is a great love interest, and the world that the book takes place in is amazing. 


Four Calling Birds: Favourite Fictional Beast / Creature?

Nevermore (Nevermore, #1)

The Nocs from Nevermore take this spot on the list! They're like no fictional creature I have ever read about before. 


Five Golden Rings: Show Five Golden Books

Betrayal (The Descendants, #1) 11112619 The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) 
 Girl on the Golden Coin: A Novel of Frances Stuart 9559404


I haven't read most of these, but they look nice! And they've all got at least a bit of gold on the cover...whether that be the dress or the background. I know that Fever barely has any gold but I think her dress counts as gold. 


Six Geese a Laying: Rotten Egg - What's Your Least Favourite Book?

Fallen Angel (Fallen Angel, #1)

There are many books I have read that I really didn't like. Fallen Angel by Heather Terrell is only one of them. It wasn't the worst book in the history of books, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.


Seven Swans a Swimming: Show a Book with Water on the Cover

Seven Tears Into the Sea

This book has water on the cover, and it was good, too. 


Eight Maids a Milking: What Fictional Food do you Wish you Could Taste?

 The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

I honestly do not know. I can't recall any books with food that doesn't exist that I wish I could try. This sounds like a question for people who read a lot of fantasy? It makes me think of fantasy worlds with bizarre foods that don't exist in the real world. So, here is The Hunger Games, because I can't think of anything for this category 😜


Nine Ladies Dancing: Favourite Dance Between Two Characters?

 Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1)

I also haven't read a lot of books with characters dancing together, but Cinder and Kai's dance from Cinder was a great scene.


Ten Lords a Leaping: Favourite Book to Movie Adaptation?

 Twilight (Twilight, #1)

So none of the book to movie adaptations that I've watched have been absolutely amazing, which makes this another tough question to answer, but I am going to have to choose Twilight. I just like the film, I like the atmosphere, I like the way it was filmed.


Eleven Pipers Piping: Favourite Book to Movie Soundtrack?

 The Phantom of the Opera

So I know that the version I am talking about here is technically the broadway version, so it's not originally a movie soundtrack in itself. However, it was eventually made into a movie. I would have chosen this for number ten, but because it was originally on broadway and doesn't actually stay very true to the original novel, in my opinion, I feel like it wouldn't fit.


Twelve Drummers Drumming: It's the End of the Song; What's Your Favourite Book Ending?

The Dying of the Light (Skulduggery Pleasant, #9)

You didn't actually think that I'd get through such a long list without at least one book from the Skulduggery Pleasant series, did you? The ending of the ninth book was just amazing. It tore my heart apart and then haphazardly glued it back together again. Derek Landy is a cruel, cruel author, but he is one of the best authors I have ever come across.
