The 12 Days of Christmas Book Tag

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having an amazing day and staying safe. And Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate. I was tagged by Octavia from Mermaid Reads to take part in the 12 Days of Christmas tag and what better day to write it than Christmas.

This tag was originally created by Lizzie Loves Books!

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE.

THE PARTRIDGE STOOD ALONE IN THE PEAR TREE. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STAND ALONE?

This will come as a surprise to no one as without a doubt this has to go to The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: TWO TURTLE DOVES.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR! WHO IS YOUR ONE TRUE PAIRING?

Again not going to surprise anyone with this as it’s Magnus and Alec from the Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare.

ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: THREE FRENCH HENS.

IN THE SPIRIT OF THREES, WHAT IS THE BEST TRILOGY YOU HAVE READ?

This of course has to be The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare.

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: FOUR CALLING BIRDS.

SINCE SERIES USUALLY CONSIST OF FOUR OR MORE BOOKS, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SERIES?

This is such a hard one but I think it has to go to the Finishing School Series by Gail Carriger.

ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: FIVE GOLDEN RINGS.

ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL! WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE VILLAIN/ANTAGONIST?

I feel this should have just been a Shadowhunter post as I’ve mentioned them for pretty much every answer but my favourite villain has always been Jonathan Morgenstern.

ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: SIX GEESE A LAYING.

CREATION IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORLD/WORLD-BUILDING?

I adore the world building in Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor.

ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: SEVEN SWANS A SWIMMING.

WHO NEEDS SEVEN SWANS WHEN ALL IT TAKES IS ONE GOOD ANIMAL SIDEKICK? WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL SIDEKICK?

Mr Kindly from the Nevernight Chronicles by Jay Kristoff totally counts right??

ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: EIGHT MAIDS A MILKING.

MILK IS SO 18TH CENTURY. WHICH BOOK OR SERIES TAKES BEVERAGES/FOOD TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL?

Heartless by Marissa Meyer just makes me want to spend all night baking.

ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: NINE LADIES DANCING.

DANCING IS JUST ONE SKILL OF A LADY! WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE KICKASS FEMALE LEAD?

Definietly Nona Grey from the Book of of the Ancestor Trilogy by Mark Lawrence.

ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: TEN LORDS A LEAPING.

HOW ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE LEADING LAD?

Again no surprise here with Magnus Bane.

ON THE ELEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: ELEVEN PIPES PIPING.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK OR BOOKISH THING WITH MUSICAL INFLUENCE? (IT CAN BE ABOUT MUSIC, REFERENCE MUSIC A LOT ETC.)

I haven’t read many books where music has been a big influence so the only one that can come to mind is The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.

ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME: 12 DRUMMERS DRUMMING.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE…WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE READ OF THIS YEAR?

Without a doubt Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
