The Extraordinary Means Book Tag

So I am currently reading Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider and knew there was a book tag about this on YouTube created by the author herself and thought it would be a good idea to do it. You can view it here. Here are the questions…









1. I would give up the Internet for a month for a signed first edition of this book…

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins seems like an obvious choice for me, I’ve loved this book since I first read it and I think I can live without the Internet, I mean I still have books.














2. I would give up pizza for a year if it meant I could sit next to this author on a long plane ride…

 This would have to be John Green, I mean I love pizza but it’s John Green! He is one of my favourite author’s and I would love to talk him about his books, Harry Potter and Nerdfighteria as well as life in general. I just hope I don’t have a Van Houten moment.  


3. I would sit through a thousand hours of commercials if it would ensure that Hollywood made this book into a movie…

Unwind by Neal Shusterman, this movie has been in pre-production for years and it is a book that I love dearly and that should be seen by many people. I would watch a thousand hours of commercials just to know the film was casting or filming.



4. I would never read a new book again if it meant I could live inside this book.
.

The Harry Potter Universe and Hogwarts would be an obvious choice for many including myself. Come on who wouldn’t want to go to Hogwarts.











5. I would let my Google search history be made public if it meant I could be best friends with this author...

 Robyn Schneider because after reading Severed Heads Broken Hearts (The Beginning of Everything in the US) I fell in love with her characters and her novel and it was one of my favourite books of 2013. It also has many nerdy references and I am sure we will have much in common, I don’t think I have much to hide anyway…

6. I would donate everything I own to Goodwill if it meant I could date this book character in real life...

For me, it has to be Simon Lewis from the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare as he was by far my favourite character in this series although I do like him with Isabella. I would probably donate all of my stuff just to be friends with him.




I hope you enjoyed this blog post, if you have answers to the questions please leave them in the comments below!

See you soon

Popsugar Reading Challenge 2020

So since the start of the Popsugar Reading Challenge started in 2015 I have taken part every year and this year is no exception. I have never completed the challenge fully and I don't think that I will this year but I'm going to try. I will try to update this throughout the year but as I saw last year this may not be the case.
