Disney Book Tag

This tag was created by Katytastic over on YouTube to celebrate the release of The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz. I found this tag on Stefani's blog, Caught Read Handed. Vintage posters are from Strongstuff.net (Tom Whalen) and the vintage fashion Disney Princesses are found on rebloggy.com (Disney Designer Collection)

1. The Little Mermaid – a character who is out of their element, a “fish out of water”

Lainey Young from the Sententia series by Cara Bertrand finds out she has a special gift and not just any gift. Her gift is quite deadly. She learns how to control her gift at a boarding school.

2. Cinderella – a character who goes through a major transformation

Sydney Sage from the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead used to despise vampires whether they are Moroi or Dhamphirs but she ends up falling in love with one. Her views about vampires and Alchemists have shifted dramatically from Bloodlines to The Ruby Circle.

3. Snow White – a book with an eclectic cast of characters

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins has an diverse cast of characters. Lola is eccentric and marches to the beat of her own drum, her friend Lindsey is Asian and Lola has two fathers.

4. Sleeping Beauty – a book that put you to sleep

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer is one of the most boring books I ever had to read. Unfortunately, I had to finish reading it because it was a summer reading book for 11th grade English class.

5. The Lion King – a character who had something traumatic happen to them in childhood

I have to agree with Stefani about Harry Potter from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter survived a death no other Wizard, Witch or Muggle has survived before.

6. Beauty and the Beast – A beast of a book (a big book) that you were intimidated by, but found the story to be beautiful

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare is one beast of a book. I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated to read the finale to The Mortal Instruments series but I enjoyed the book very much. It was the perfect ending to the series.

7. Aladdin – a character who gets their wish granted, for better or worse

Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games is able to take Prim's place in order to keep Prim safe. If you would like to know whether the wish is granted for better or worse, check out the Hunger Games trilogy.

8. Mulan – a character who pretends to be someone or something they are not

Violetta from The Young Elites by Marie Lu pretends she is innocent but she hides a secret that is fairly shocking. I can't tell you what her secret is but if you want to find out, check out The Young Elites.

9. Toy Story – a book with characters you wish would come to life

I would love to meet the characters from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, especially Cath and Levi. I need them in my life! Fanfic, Simon Snow and Pumpkin Mocha Breves all the time. Sign me up!

10. Disney Descendants – your favourite villain or morally ambiguous character

Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling is not necessary a villain but I agree he is a morally ambiguous character.
