Assassin's Creed Book Tag

What is up guys?! Happy Wednesday! It's time for another book tag because I'm too lazy to do a book review or a writing discussion post! -Dances a little- So if you guys haven't heard of the app books amino, I highly suggest that you download it on your phone or Ipod or something because holy crow; so many cool posts on there! Especially the one (and the two people) that created this particular book tag. :) I've never played any of the Assassin's Creed video games, but this tag seemed like a lot of fun to do and we're gonna do it! This tag was created by ItskeLaufeyson and her friend Shannon on the Books Amino (go follow her :D) Let's get started!!

(All opinions are my own and mine alone.)

1. Assassin's Creed 1: Best series starter?

I personally loved the first book to Lisa Mangum's trilogy The Hourglass door. It was the book that got me into avidly reading and it's been in my heart ever since. I also love A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E Schwab and Truthwitch by Susan Dennard. Both were also fantastic starters to their respected series. :)

2. Brotherhood: Best book friendship?

For this one, I picked Karou and Zuzana from Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy because they are a great pair when together and their relationship just feels really realistic to me when I read it for the first time.

3. Templars: Favorite Villain

Out of a lot of villains I've read about in my years of reading, I really enjoy Eli & Victor from Vicious. Both are anti-heroes and those are the best types of villains in my opinion. I also like Aeduan from the Truthwitch series. He reminds me of the boys from Vicious and I want more from him when the series picks up again next year. Manon from Throne of Glass. She is what I wanted in a female villain and I can see her kicking ass in book five soon!

4. Stealth: Favorite book/series featuring Assassins

Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. It's the only one I can think of on the top of my head. I know there are more books out there featuring assassins, but that was the one I can think of right away.

5. Hidden Blade: A Character that surprised you.

I was really surprised by Delia from A Darker Shade of Magic and the two sisters from Warbreaker. These three girls developed really well in their respective books and I wanted to high five them for being queens instead of whiny little things like I've been noticing in books lately. :)

6. Ezio Auditore: A Swoon-worthy male character

I'm just gonna say Kell from ADSOM and Carol from TOG, they are wonderful beings.

7. Leap of Faith: A book you're glad that you took a chance with

The first book to the Summoner series "The Novice" by Taran Matharu. It was a fun and quick read and the cover drew me in along with the magical system he created. I want to see where this takes off once I get my hands on the second book.

8. Death from Above: A character's death you didn't see coming

Victor's death in Vicious. I was just so caught up in the action between him and Eli that it was weird to watch him die. O.o

9. Assassin's Creed Black Flag: A book with Pirates

Merik's pirates from Truthwitch. Peter Pan by JM Barrie. Lani Lenore's Nevermor trilogy

10. Assassin's Creed Rogue: A character who is a bit of a lone wolf

Again, Kell from A Darker Shade of Magic. Umm who else, Carol from the Throne of Glass series. Nix from the Nevermor trilogy. I'll have to research some past books I've read to figure out more for you guys sorry.

11. Assassin's Creed Syndicate: A book set in Victorian London

The infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. I'm also going to put down the Something Strange and Deadly trilogy by Susan Dennard even though it takes place in Philadelphia. Its also set in the Victorian era.

12. Jacob Frye: A character who could start his own gang

For this one, I'm going to go with Day from the Legend trilogy. While I was reading the trilogy, I felt he was able to form his very own gang without the help of June or anyone near him. He's a good leader and a compassionate person overall, so it would be awesome to see him having a gang around my area. (And for the kids of the future as well.)

and finally, 13. Evie Frye: Favorite bad-ass female character

Deila Bard from A Darker Shade of Magic. Oh my god, I have so much respect for this thief. She was a star in this book. I need to pick up the sequel soon to see more of her upcoming adventures.

Alright guys, that was the Assassin's Creed book tag! What are your answers for this tag? Let me know in the comments below and on social media and I'll be back soon for another post soon. Happy Howling! :)

A Writer's Life for Me Tag

Hey all!

Today we are going to do this fun tag call "A writer's life for me". This was created by Sara Ella and Sara Crawford on you tube. I'll post a link down below for you guys to give this a shot on your blogs or book tube channels. I figure it was time to do something fun because I'm prepping some book reviews for the month of May instead of this one since I've been on and off with reading for the last couple of months. This tag is mainly to describe what time of writer I am and how my process goes in the writing. Let's begin!

- - - -

Question one: What kind of writer are you?

I am mainly a fiction writer. I dabble in screen writing, but I'm mostly a fiction writer. I mostly write Young adult paranormal, urban fantasy, and horror. There are mixes of other genres along with it, but those are my main crazed areas.

Question two: When did you start writing? What made you want to try it?

I've started experimenting with writing since I was eight years old. However, I didn't really get serious with it till I was seventeen and started my Soldiers and my Wolves series.

Question three: What inspires you to write?

Music, anime, books, history, forests, wolves, the paranormal, movies, video games, my family, my favorite human/writing partner.

Question four: What themes do you like to explore in your writing?

I like to explore the anti-hero and understand the importance of the Hero's journey. Along with the develop of the story's world and the growth of characters.

Question five: Are you a punster? Plotter? A little of Both?

It truly depends on the story I'm working on. With Soldiers, I'm a mixture of both, and with my wolves manga, I'm more of a plotter rather than both. Each story is a like a small child, its one way or another when you work on them individually.

Question six: Where are you at in your journey? Querying? Finalized? Publishing?

I am currently working on some drafts with the projects. Soldiers is currently on its third draft and I do have a first draft done for a random novella. I have hopes to attempt querying for agents sometime in the late fall and am currently seeking some beta readers to mingle with as we speak. :)

Question seven: Have you ever entered any writing contests? Finaled? Won?

Nope, I've never entered any writing related contests. I'm somewhat of a big coward when it comes to sharing my works to people. However, I'm slowly growing out of that fear. I've tried to show my works to websites like fiction press and watt pad. But, since I'm trying to publish my work in the near future, I took it all down. Sorry, not sorry...

Question eight: Who are your writer/ing heroes?

Victoria Schwab, Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allan Poe, Maggie Stiefvater, Sarah J Maas, Alexandra Bracken. (To name a few..).

Question nine: Have you ever been to a writing conference? Share your best or worst conference experience.

I've never been to one, but I will like to attend one eventually. :)

Question ten:  Top three advice you'd give to newbie writers.

1. Let yourself daydream and be loud with them no matter what people say to you.

2. It's okay to be afraid, you are worth all of the effort you put into your books.

3. Always keep a notebook and five pens/pencils in your person. Inspiration will spark like hellfire if you let it.

Alright guys, that was the 'A Writer's life for me' tag! If you guys did the tag already, post it in the comments below or send them to me. I would love to see what your answers are! See you soon, happy howling my fellow wolves!
