The awesome Liam @Liam’s Libarary tagged me to do the EMOJI Book Tag! It looks like a lot of fun and it’s actually very easy too: All you have to do is pair 5 of your most recent or most often used emojis with books that you think represent them the best. Got it? Great then let’s get this started!
For your information, I think I am using a mix of my most recent and most used ones. Why only stick to one of them?
Loudly Crying Face
I use this emoji ALL THE TIME, be it for the Shannara Chronicles, The Royals, any of the Chicago shows, a book, a movie, whatever! It’s not enough to have the emoji with the single tear, NO! I need the full on sobbing one, because I am just that devastated.
So, thinking about a book that emotionally wrecked me, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak comes to mind! I did not handle that book well and cried for the majority of it.
Penguin
What am I using a penguin for? I don’t know … it looks cute I guess. I crocheted one the other day and took advantage of that emoji for every tweet or post I wrote about it.
Trying to find the right book for it now is sort of difficult though … I did not think that through properly. HA! I am going to be sneaky and use a book published by Penguin Books! *taps herself on shoulder* The first one I saw on my shelf was How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. Great book, not cute at all though!
Broken Heart
Again, this comes into play a lot when I tweet about the Royals, because Jaspenor is killing me every. single. episode.
Now, a book that completely shattered my heart would be Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. I think I died a couple of times while reading that book.
Face With Open Mouth
We’ve established my flair for emoji-dramatics and I guess I am generally an exasperated person, because I use this one a lot too!
This particular emoji expresses shock or surprise to me and one of the most cruel and unexpected twists I’ve read last year was the one at the end of Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I am going to be careful to trust anyone in that story ever again, but I simply cannot wait for Glass Sword!
Face with Tears of Joy
I think this one just looks funny. I am using it whenever I laugh about something really, really hard. Since I am pretty easy to entertain, that’s not all that rarely.
In terms of books, it wouldn’t be a complete book tag of mine if I didn’t mention The Martian by Andy Weir. So, here’s my chance and I am taking it. I laughed so much during that book and I actually cried tears of joy in the end, so this is really the perfect emoji to capture my reading experience!
I TAG:
Astra @A Stranger’s Guide to Novels
Emma @Emma the Book Lover
Victoria @Addlepates and Book Nerds
YOU!
*If you’ve done the tag before or simply don’t want to, feel free to ignore it! (but leave a link to your post in the comments and I’ll check it out!)*
You really use a lot the broken heart emoji every time you tweet about Jaspenor especially because they haven’t been that happy for an eternity.
I had no idea that The Martian was kind of funny. I only found out when I was watching the Golden Globes yesterday and Matt Damon won the award for Best Actor in a Comedy but I really want to read that book 🙂

Yeah, I wish they were in a happier place, but this episode just made it worst. You’ll see by the end what I mean. I am not sure how Jasper is supposed to prove himself to Len anymore ….
The Martian is hilarious! But also thrilling and scientific and smart.

How I Live Now left such an impression on me. I found it extremely intriguing, but it really isn’t for everyone.

Oh, Clockwork Princess is perfect for the broken heart emoji! What a wild ride of a book that one is (although the perfect ending). How pumped are you for Lady Midnight this year though?!

Right? Clockwork Princess was really sad inbetween, but I agree, it had the perfect ending. It is one of my favourite series altogether.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR LADY MIDNIGHT! I am especially curious about the parabatai part of the story 🙂

Me too! It’s something pretty new since we’ve never really explored the parabatai connection very much

Exactly! I think it was strongest with Will and Jem in TID, but I didn’t feel it as much with Alec and Jace, so this should be interesting since it’s really a main focus of the story.

The Book Thief is such a great read, but I understand if you haven’t read it yet. I think it’s a book where you have to be in the right mood for, because the topic can become a bit heavy, even when it’s wrapped in beautiful storytelling.

The Book Thief totally wrecked me too! That ending though…Red Queen had some totally shocking moments, at times it felt like there was betrayal upon betrayal upon betrayal. Like inception! I can’t wait to read The Martian. My dad read it and was laughing out loud too. And why not penguin? Great answers!

I am not using the penguin anymore. It totally made sense at the time, but now … I don’t think I need it. Maybe when it’s too cold outside and I don’t want to go out? That might work …
I am still upset that there is no flamingo emoji though, Regina and I would use that 100% of the time.
