I’m an emoji maniac and oh, I was tagged!
I love emojis (I even have two sets of emojis installed in this blog as a proof). I frequently abuse it, and most of the time my tweets end with emojis. So this was fun to do (and I might’ve presented it differently). I was tagged by the lovely Emily of Reverie Rhapsody. This meme goes like this:
Use 5–10 emojis that you abuse frequently or are your favorites, and pick a book or character that matches that emoji.
Just Silly!
Just Silly! Emoji belongs to Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, particularly the third book, The Titan’s Curse. This is my favorite book from the series; it’s so funny. Apollo’s sad attempt at haiku and Blackjack’s infamous line, “It’s the wine, dude,” Man, did it crack me up pretty good?
Snore-fest
Oh my, I tried reading City of Bones in what year? Hundred pages in, I stopped. Hopeful, I picked up again (after 2 years). It didn’t work. It’s too many things at once, and then you include a very unbearable cast. Nope, I’m not up for this grueling task. My patience threshold was almost at a critical level. So yes, the snorefest emoji goes to you, you never-ending story (how many books are they planning for this world?! I’m not even reading it, and I feel exhausted already.
Chuuu!!! (Kissy Face!)
Trust in Me: just because it has a kissy face, ’nuff said.
Total Indifference
The total indifference emoji goes to Sleep No More. I was really intrigued by this book’s interesting concept. Sadly, things were just too muddled and predictable to suit my taste.
Heartbreaker!
Christian Prescott: “she remembers”; “she sobs” I was utterly sad when I finished the book, despite knowing the ending prior to reading. I would’ve been okay if the story was obviously moving in that direction. But it was a surprise attack, and I was caught unguarded. I still feel remorse after that halfhearted ending. Yes, the heartbreaker emoji belongs to Boundless.
Lovely Dovey!
Do I really need to explain in full details considering I had prepared a 9-week (62-day) feature for the release of the book? No? You should already know how much I loved Tahereh Mafi’s series by now, so of course, the lovey-dovey emoji belongs to this series. (and I might have recycled a photo, *snickers*)
