The Stranger Things booktag was created by Sarah Sunbeemz on Youtube. I saw this over at Pretty Deadly Reviews and thought it would be fun to do- after all Stranger Things right?
1) Epic Intro. The opening sequence of Stranger Things is amazing and really grabs your attention. Name a book that grabbed your attention from the first page.
This one got my attention right away with the girl waking up with no memory after washing up on beach.
2) Dungeons & Dragons Name a fantasy world you would like to experience yourself.
Middle Earth all the way. I'll take a month or so at Rivendell, thank you very much.
And in case you want to wear Middle Earth- leggings!
3) Squad Goals When Eleven met Mike, Dustin and Lucas it was a *mostly* perfect team. Name your favorite bookish group of friends.
This is a toughie. The Fellowship comes to mind of course but I'm going with Night School. Allie, Zoe, Jo, Nicole, Rachel, Sylvain, Carter... they're a fun group.
4) ABC's and Christmas lights Joyce Byers goes mad with grief after Will goes missing. Name your favorite mentally unhinged character.
This one kinda made me realize I haven't read a lot of books focusing on mental health. I did like this one though for the portrayal of OCD with the protag's best friend.
5) The Upside Down Name a book that was the opposite of what you expected.
This one wasn't really what I was expecting. I mean I knew there was a missing girl but the actual layout of the story was a surprise to me.
6) Mad Scientists Dr. Brenner likes to get freaky with humanity. Name the freakiest dystopian government you can think of.
Logan's Run. As bad as The Hunger Games or Divergent are, this society makes you submit to euthanasia at 21 (they changed it to 30 in the movie). Can you imagine that? Hey you can drink- congratulations. Okay report to Carousel now- you're outta here.
7) Demogorgon Name a scary bookish creature that you would not want to come through your walls.
Not a big fan of wraiths or anything I can't see.
8) Cliffhanger ending Name a book that left you wanting more.
This one ended on a bit of a cliffhanger and the authors don't plan another book at this time, although I hope we get one down the toad.
So... there you have it. Have you watched Stranger Things? I'm tagging anyone who wants to do this basically. So if you've seen the show (or even if you haven't), feel free to jump in! And if you have seen it, share your thoughts in the comments.
This was a great tag Greg! I really liked your answers and the books you've shared, I want to look into Sanctuary Bay. Nooo, I haven't watched Stranger Things. BUT will definitely tell my hubby to keep an eye out.
ReplyDeleteI've been absent a bit lately and we are still on holidays until the 15th. I do read a lot and I will post all my book reviews! But I might only start with weekly features and tags again in November. When I have time at home and resources!!
Will keep an eye out on your posts though! Enjoy the upcoming weekend!
Thank you. Sanctuary Bay is quite good, I hope you get to check it out.
DeleteI thought I hadn't see you around as much. Glad all is well and looking forward to your posts. :) And yes watch Stranger Things.
Great choice with the wraiths and sanctuary bay! I love Stranger Things and I'm definitely doing this tag. You picked some pretty good ones. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't wait to see your version. I hope you do this one!
DeleteThe wraiths seriously creep me out! I haven't watched Stranger Things but I loved all these categories and have been meaning to watch it. I'll have to move it up the list and start on it as soon as we finish season 3 of The Blacklist. Sanctuary Bay has been on my TBR but a cliffhanger with no planned date for the next book? I think I'll wait on that!
ReplyDeleteI know? Something about that- if I can't see it, no thanks! And ooh you guys need to watch Stranger things! I should clarify on Sanctuary Bay though- it's actually a standalone and the story is complete in itself, but it does leave room open for a follow up. I should probably have said that rather than cliffhanger, t be accurate, I mean it's kinda cliffhangery but more of a what could happen next kinda thing.
DeleteWouldn't a wraith be a fantastic Halloween costume now that they have opaque black fabric you can se through? :D
ReplyDeleteYes it would. Scary!!
DeleteLove this tag and I so want to read Night School! Those leggings, whoa
ReplyDeleteYes, read Night school I'd love to see more reviews. There were probably some but before I was blogging... and yes those leggings, I had to share those. Kinda neat! :)
DeleteI'm with you on the wraiths, I like being able to see my foes thank you very much. fantastic tag and love the leggings!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like those leggings too. Just having a map of Middle earth like that- who thinks of these things???
DeleteWraiths..yeah creeptastic. I need to check out Demogorgon. Totally agree on Middle Earth...yes! This was a cool post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, love this tag! Did you watch the show?
DeleteI haven't seen the show, but this sounds like a fun tag! And some of those books do sound interesting. Although I'm not sure if I'd rather be able to see the face of the monster attacking me or not, haha.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta watch it if you ever get the chance. And when I saw this tag i was like oh yeah. :) I hear ya though, being attacked would be bad enough, face or no face. :)
DeleteI... have watched the pilot. That isn't great, I know. I want to though. Well, I want to want to, anyway ;) The cover of The Girl from the Sea gets me every time- I love it! Makes me want to read the book. And only that model could pull off those leggings bwhaha. But they're pretty great either way. Also, I did NOT know that it was 21 in the Logan's Run book! I saw the movie (a looong time ago) and it WAS incredibly creepy. I should probably read the book though, it's probably better! This is fun, I want to do this after I watch the show. So... years from now hah.
ReplyDeleteI just started episode one of Stranger Things last night. I'll have to bookmark this tag for when I'm done.
ReplyDeleteGreat book houses. Most I've never heard of except Panic. I've added a few to my wishlist.
