Four Londons Book Tag

Ok, I found this just a couple days ago, and I just thought, "A grade QUialty book content." So I decided the try it out.

Oof... Trying to Quit... OK... It has to be Timekeeper by Tara Sim. The series ended in January (2019). Not going to lie, every time I go to the library, or the bookstore, that's where I go. EVERY TIME.

GRFM: Throne of Glass series. I got into the first and second book. The second book was better but that twist at the very end just turned me off for the rest of the series. That trope might have worked if I was 14, but I've read too much to foresee the future like a goddamn oracle.

I'm not going to lie, I have a fairly black and white vision about what I think in a book. That is weird from someone who prefers grey and grey thinking in books. But I will give Twilight, yes TWILIGHT, credit where it's due. This quote. And this is genuine I found this funny, compared to everything else I found funny.
Jacob: I told you—
Bella: Did you know that 'I told you so' has a brother, Jacob? His name is 'Shut the hell up.'

AGJJDGFVBN OK ok ok, don't get me started now, but out of all the books I feel blessed to own right now, it has to be the Spellslinger series, Shades of Magic, Percy Jackson, and the Bartimaeus Trilogy (WHY, STROUD!??!)

Out of the ones I don't own, Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the Universe.

The Bartimaeus trilogy. It's surprisingly darker than I remembered, especially for a middle-grade
 book...

Frankly, A lot of fantastical worlds has me feeling this way. Obviously, they're meant to have these ups and downs and seeing a lot of people romanticize kinda weirds me out. But depending on the timeline, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter (We may as well be living in this one) Spellslinger (especially if you have the Shadowblack... but on the bright side, FERIUS) Shades of magic, (Holy christ, does Osaron scare me...)

0002-42

Out of what I read in Throne of Glass, the first and second book. The first almost turned me off completely but for some reason, I still had hope, so I got the second one. 

But for a series as a whole, Percy Jackson. If it can count. I found it started off very well, and having a fairly accurate portrayal of ADHD (Speaking from first-hand experience) and ended on such a note that I doubt the sequel series could top it. This is not to say I don't like the Heroes of Olympus series, to clarify. I like it. Like it.

OK, screw that format, tilt your screen or something. 

It says, White London: A book series you would kill for. 

Spellslinger. I know, I know I'm mentioning Spellslinger a shit ton, but just trust me, I'm not getting paid. I  really do love the series, and my heart still beats for the final book (WHICH COMES OUT IN DECEMBER SDTFYGUHILJKJGHFGDFG *Insert me sobbing with Queenlsayer in the background... *)

Screw that, save all the audiobooks, and die with my phone happily. 

0001-42 (11)

Three guesses as to what it is, and the first two don't count. 

0002-42 (1)

I'll be breaking this one for the sake of an experiment. A Court of Thorn and Roses and After. I'm not a big romance fan, but I'm slowly getting concerned. Has romance changed at all in this past decade?

0003-42

VE Schwab. and Sebastien De Castell. (Trying to get the Greatcoats series...)

0001-42 (12)

Question: What character/s from the Shades of Magic trilogy would you like to see have a spinoff?
Oof... Not really a spin-off, but maybe a prequel? One of Lila's parents and one of Kell's Parents. Though I've heard a backstory for Kell is coming in the Conjuring of Light collector's edition.

If you could rule one of the four Londons, which one would you rule?

Well, I wouldn't like to rule it, but I would like to be a resident in Red London. Maybe a simple artisan.
