The Literary Dinner Party Book Tag

Hello loves!!! So, I saw this fun tag from Kat over at NoseStuckInABook months ago. I had it planned and scheduled, but I never got to it. Actually, I had a lot of “tags” and other stuff I wanted to do, but I didn’t so here I am… trying to do as many as I can before the year ends.

Anyway, this was originally from youtube and created by NEHOMAS2. For this tag, imagine that you’re hosting a dinner party and you can invite any literary character you want. But there’s a catch… You can only choose 10 characters for 10 different categories.

Who will receive an invite for your dinner party?

1. One character who can cook/likes to cook
2. One character who has money to fund the party
3. One character who might cause a scene
4. One character who is funny/amusing
5. One character who is super social/popular
6. One villain
7. One couple – doesn’t have to be romantic
8. One hero/heroine
9. One underappreciated character
10. One character of your own choosing

I’d probably want to host plenty of Literary Dinner Parties just so I can meet all my favorite characters, but I just went with my gut for this one and chose the first character that popped into my head.

1. One character who can cook/likes to cook

Cameron Hamilton from Wait for You by Jennifer Armentrout. He’s sexy, swoony, funny, irresistibly lovable, and he can cook and also bake cookies.

2. One character who has money to fund the party

Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James because why not… Plus, I’d totally love to meet him.

3. One character who might cause a scene

Magnus Bane from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. He’s definitely a scene stealer, so it would be fun to see what happens if he comes to my dinner party.

4. One character who is funny/amusing

Zander from the Starstruck Saga by S.E. Anderson. That series is pretty hilarious too and never fails to make me laugh.

5. One character who is super social/popular

Maxon Schreave from The Selection series by Kiera Cass. He’s a prince, he’s royal, he’s handsome, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s also romantic, caring, and funny too.

 6. One villain

Queen Levana from the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. I find her terrifyingly intriguing so I think it’ll be interesting/fun to have her there.

7. One couple – doesn’t have to be romantic (but who are we kidding)

Peter K. and Lara Jean Covey from The All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series by Jenny Han because they are too adorable not to include in this dinner party.

8. One hero/heroine

Adelina Amouteru from The Young Elites series by Marie Lu because she’s complicated, intriguing, awesome, and not your typical heroine.

9. One underappreciated character

Veronica Welling from the Doon Series by Loria Langdon and Carey Corp. Veronica is a kick ass heroine with plenty of exciting stories to share at the dinner party.

10. One character of your own choosing

Aaron Warner from The Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. It’s Warner… I don’t think I need to explain why he needs to be there.

Goodreads Monday

Gosh, it’s been such a long time since I did one of these. I probably added more than 100 books on my Goodreads TBR when I should really be trying to knock off the ones I know I’ll never ever read. Guess I’ll have to do that at some point, but for now I think I’ll just let it be.

Goodreads Monday, is a weekly meme by Lauren’s Page Turners’ blog.

To participate, just choose a random book from your Goodreads TBR and show it off. For this meme, I’ll be focusing on a random book that I don’t own (hardcopy or ebooks) on my Goodreads “want-to-read” page.

Mists of Avalon meets Philippa Gregory in the first book of an exciting historical trilogy that reveals the untold story of Languoreth—a powerful and, until now, tragically forgotten queen of sixth-century Scotland—twin sister of the man who inspired the legendary character of Merlin.

Intelligent, passionate, rebellious, and brave, Languoreth is the unforgettable heroine of The Lost Queen, a tale of conflicted loves and survival set against the cinematic backdrop of ancient Scotland, a magical land of myths and superstition inspired by the beauty of the natural world. One of the most powerful early medieval queens in British history, Languoreth ruled at a time of enormous disruption and bloodshed, when the burgeoning forces of Christianity threatened to obliterate the ancient pagan beliefs and change her way of life forever.

Together with her twin brother Lailoken, a warrior and druid known to history as Merlin, Languoreth is catapulted into a world of danger and violence. When a war brings the hero Emrys Pendragon, to their door, Languoreth collides with the handsome warrior Maelgwn. Their passionate connection is forged by enchantment, but Languoreth is promised in marriage to Rhydderch, son of the High King who is sympathetic to the followers of Christianity. As Rhydderch’s wife, Languoreth must assume her duty to fight for the preservation of the Old Way, her kingdom, and all she holds dear.

The Lost Queen brings this remarkable woman to life—rescuing her from obscurity, and reaffirming her place at the center of the most enduring legends of all time.

This book sounds awesomely thrilling and fun. I don’t remember how I found out about it, but I’ll read anything with magic, queens, warriros and Scotland. I have been in love with Scotland for a long time and it’s one of my top travel/dream destinations. One of these days I’ll make it there, but for now, I’m just going to have to visit Scotland through books.

Have any of you read this book/series? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below!

So, what’s on your Goodreads Monday this week?
