The Pastry Book Tag

I was tagged by the lovely Sammie over at Bookshelves and Biros. Thanks so much for tagging me!

As a big foodie, this tag combining books and pastries is a dream come true. A lot of the pastries that are mentioned in this tag I’ve never tried and/or heard of before, so maybe next time I go to a bakery I might try looking for some of these.

Croissant | Name a popular book or series that everyone (including you) love

A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas

I don’t know a single person that has read this series and didn’t enjoy it. If you haven’t read this series yet, what are you doing? READ IT RIGHT THIS MOMENT!

Macaroon | Name a book that was hard to get through but was worth it at the end

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

The sheer length of this book (700+ pages) is what was so difficult about getting through it. The first 3/4 of the book was all political games, and little to no action. As much as I love the games, it went on for so long that I was getting a bit tired of it, but in the end it was totally worth it.

Vol-Au-Vent | Name a book that you thought would be amazing but fell flat

The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

It isn’t that I don’t think it’s a good book, it’s just that it’s so similar to so many other YA novels that I’ve read that it almost seemed like Victoria Aveyard compiled a whole bunch of ideas from different books and made it into one.

Pain Au Chocolat | Name a book that you thought would be one thing but turned out to be something else

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer

I didn’t expect much when I started Cinder. I thought it was going to be your typical cheesy, cute fairytale retelling, but it turned out to be so much more than that.

Profiterole | Name a book or series that doesn’t get enough attention

Jackaby series by William Ritter

I don’t know why, but I don’t know many people that has read this series. If you like Sherlock, you’re definitely going to love Jackaby.

Croquembouche | Name a book or series that’s extremely complex

Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson

Napoleon | Name a movie or TV show based off a book that you liked better than the book itself

I don’t have one for this question. I don’t watch many TV shows or movies, and the ones that I do I like the books more than the adaptations.

Empanada | Name a book that was bittersweet

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

This made me cry so hard. That ending. It’s just… *tears up*

 

Kolompeh | Name a book or series that takes place somewhere other than your home country

Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor

This is the one and only YA series that I know of and read that takes place in the Middle East.

Pate A Choux | Name one food from a book or series that you would like to try

Butterbeer from Harry Potter series

Any fan of Harry Potter would want to try butterbeer. I tried the butterbeer frappuccino at the Starbucks at Barnes and Noble when they were doing a Harry Potter birthday party a couple years back, but I want to try the actual drink the characters had in the book.

I tag…

everyone! If you want to do this, consider yourself tagged!
