Book Tag: Peter Pan

Hey there! It's Thursday which means it's time for another book tag. I was watching the live-action Peter Pan movie the other day. We all know which one, the 2003 one, not the crappy new version (which I have seen so I have every right to criticize.) I think the old version is in my top 5 best children movies along with Mulan and Hercules. It might have to do with the fact that I was absolutely in love with Jeremy Sumpter. Don't deny it, you were too. Anyway, this got me thinking and I looked up some Peter Pan book tags. I found a couple of them that I like so I'm doing a mash-up. Okay?

1) Peter Pan: A book with a main character under 14


I'm currently reading this one, and the main character, Keara is 12. Love this girl!



2) Wendy Darling: A character who takes charge



I was going to pick Celaena from Throne of Glass, but I already mention these books in another one, so I went with Katniss. You all know her mother wasn't really a parental figure, so she always took care of Prim. And once the games started, Katniss also assumed that responsibility with Peeta. She's a tough one, maybe a little too much at times.



3) John Darling: A character with a signature fashion trait



I picked Manon since she has her signature white hair and shark-like teeth. She's an awesome character.



4) Michael DarlingA book character who has a hard time letting things go



For this one I pick Tamlin from Acotar. I can't say much because spoilers, but he definitely has a hard time with letting Feyre go. Ugh. He's such a tool.



5) Tinkerbell: A book with faeries in it



Okay, I will go with The Mortal Instruments saga. We all know how sneaky they are, yet we love 'em.



6) Captain Hook: A villain with a soft side



Ugh, why are SJM's books so fitting for every category? I guess I will go with Snape. He's not really a villain, although he does some shitty stuff. I'm not one of those people who either hate him or love him because I don't care for him as a character. Maybe I will when I finally get around to reading book 3.



7) Smee: A character who is a suck up



This is an easy one, I find this guy SO FREAKING ANNOYING. Sorry for yelling, but I can't stand the man. Again with Harry Potter, I'm going with Gilderoy Lockhart.



8) The Lost Boys: A book with an eccentric cast of characters



For this one I'm picking my babies from The Raven Boys. Blue is probably the most "eccentric" one, but you have to admit that they're all pretty weird in some way or another.



9) Pirates: A book with a villain and a group of minions



Well, even if we don't want to admit it, Kaz and his group are thieves so they could be considered villains. I just love the group so much that I have to include it in some way. If you don't like this then just pretend I picked Voldemort and his followers.



10) Indians: A book that has songs in it.



I have seen the movie but I haven't read this book, so I hope I'm not wrong by assuming there are songs in this one...


I think you got the point. I still love him. HEY he's legal now, so don't judge me.

That was a fun tag! See you next time.

What are your favorite childhood movies? Were you in love with Peter too? Let me know :)

Book Tag #4: Literary Dinner Party

I'm one of those people who're hungry ALL THE TIME. It's not a joke. I ate a gigantic plate of food half an hour ago and I'm already considering going back for ice cream. I have no idea of how I still fit through the door. Anyway, since I enjoy food and specially dinner, I picked this interesting book tag called Literary Dinner Party. 


Imagine you are organizing a big dinner like the one Professor Slughorn hosted in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You'll pick one book character for each question. Who will receive an invitation?

1) Someone who cooks

There's no better cook in town than Minny Jackson, ladies and gentleman. At least, that's what they say. She has been in charge of banquets in the past so I feel she would be a good choice for my dinner. Just be careful with her pies, okay? She's a very funny lady and I bet she has some great anecdotes to share.



2) Someone to sponsors the dinner

And here I was thinking that I was a millionaire that could afford her own parties. Oh, well. In that case, I guess I need someone experienced in the party scene. What better choice than Tony Stark? He is a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, after all.



3) Someone that can cause a scene

This is a no-brainer. If we want a bizarre character that loves drama, Magnus Bane is the one for the job. Not only will he catch everyone attention with his fancy clothes and makeup, but he will also put on  a great magic show. Plus, duty may call and next thing you know, there's a wounded werewolf staining the tablecloth. Sounds like a night to remember to me. Alec Lightwood could be his +1 (please.)



4) Someone who will make everyone laugh

All the 3 previous guests are already quite funny, so I guess I'll just pick another one. Wow, this dinner is going to be a blast. I identify myself with and appreciate Rose Hathaway's sarcastic humor. It's very similar to mine, which is part of the reason I love this character. 



5) Someone popular

Well, there are many kinds of "popular". What we need is someone with good contacts (but isn't a douche about it.) I think Gansey is perfect for the role. Although he doesn't like to brag about it, he comes from a successful and important family. I just love him and needed him in this dinner, okay?



6) A villain

Well, we wouldn't want maleficent's story to repeat itself, do we? We better have our enemies close. It's also a great way to add some spice to the table. This is a tough one, but in the end, I think Captain Hook is quite a lovable villain. His plans always get frustrated in some way and that makes me feel so sorry for him. I think he deserves a nice dinner.



7) A couple

I would love to have Rhys and Feyre among my guests. It adds a bit of diversity, you know? I love every aspect of their relationship: their mutual respect, balance, trust and love. Although they're a bit too pda lovers, they know when to get serious. I trust that they will actually use their mouths to talk.



8) A hero or heroin

Well, Tony Stark is already invited but, if Steve Rogers was in the room too, it could turn out to be quite a fun night. Or the whole place could get destroyed. I'll take the risks. Cap is such an honorable and respectful guy, who I bet has great manners.



9) An underestimated character

If we look "underestimated" up on a dictionary, I believe we'll find a picture of John Watson. We can't help but love Sherlock, but we sometimes forget how important John is too. I want him to feel loved and that's why he's receiving an invitation.




10) A character of your choice

A dinner is no such thing without a good debate. I wouldn't want to be the person who argues with Hermione Granger but it's a fight worth watching. I'll try not to drop too much popcorn on the ground.




There you have it! I think some great conversations could come up during the night.

I saw this tag on Butterfly Kisses.

 Should I make some souvenirs? What could be a good theme for the dinner? What are your picks? Tell me in the comments :)
