Bookish Survey: Cast a Harry Potter Spell (Part Two)

Created by Flip That Page

This was such an awesome survey idea, created by Flip That Page, so I had to participate! I love Harry Potter spells, I have almost all of them memorized after years of studying to go to Hogwarts. Unfortunately, despite the intense studying I did as an 8-10 year old, I never received the Hogwarts letter. So, this is the perfect survey for me!

Also, I am separating this survey into two posts, this second post is about spells cast on you!

Now here is the list of spells and my answers. 

--------------------------------------------

Stupefy

puts victim in unconscious state

A book with a chapter you couldn't seem to get over: The Golden Lily. The last chapter of The Golden Lily is pretty amazing! I won't tell you why because of those pesky Spoilers, but I can tell you that I reread the last chapter several times. Then, I cried for the next book!

Confundo

causes befuddlement or confusion 

A book that generally confused you (edit by Emily: in a good way): I can't really think of any books that confused me in a negative way, but I can remember a couple of books that were supposed to befuddle us in the beginning. Boy, did Another Little Piece do just that! From the beginning, I was thrown into this world of heart eaters, amnesia, and a deadly, deadly cycle. So Awesome!

Crucio

inflects unbearable pain

A book that was a pain to read: Peeps by Scott Westerfield. While this wasn't a terrible book, I still squirmed at all the info on parasites and gruesome stuff. Ergh... Peeps was definitely a painful read in that sense. *Squirms more just thinking about it* 

Episkey

heals relatively minor injuries

A feel good book you enjoyed: Audrey, Wait by Robin Benway. I CANNOT recommend this book highly enough. I laughed and smiled the whole entire time at Audrey's adventures as a famous rockstars ex-girlfriend... and the inspiration of his hit song Audrey, Wait! :D On my trip to Mexico, I read this book 3 times because of the lack of reading material, and I still love it! 

Impedimenta

impedes target's progress 

A book that kept you up all night: The False Prince by Jennifer Nelson. Woah. Woah. Woah. I was so, so immersed into Sage's world and story. And after reading a certain twist, I just had to get to the end. Seriously, my life depended on it. :)

Silencio

immediate silencing

A book that left you speechless: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. By the end of this gorgeous book, I had a strange feeling of enlightenment and sadness. The writing, story, and characters are beautiful. Also, the portrayal of how much we can impact others is such a great theme.

Legilimens

allows you to delve into someone's mind

A book with well developed characters: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Cath, Wren, Levi, Reagan and the rest of the cast are so amazing, deep, and relatable. Also, Wren is a very realistic and non-sterotypical character. Rainbow Rowell nails the introverted fanfic writer on the head!!

Levicorpus

a spell that turns you upside down

A book that made you change your mind about a character in it's prequel: Shadow Kiss. Lissa grew on me throughout the series, but I really respected and connected to her in the last few books, unlike the very first book. She has what it takes to be an awesome queen.

Obliviate

used to conceal memories

A book with a story you can't remember: The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross. Yeah, I don't remember this story... yet I want to read the second book. XD
I know there is this girl named Finley and she has superpowers? Something like that? *Face palms*

Reducto

breaks through solid objects

A book that convinced you to reconsider a genre: Cinder by Marrisa Meyer. What an amazing sci-fi book! I was sucked into this cyborg CInderella tale. Now, I sometimes enjoy sci-fi and pick up the genre more :D

Rictumsempra

tickling spell

A book that made you laugh: I can only pick one? Um... perhaps Hearts at Stake or Awkward. Okay, I will choose Hearts at Stake as I have more to say on this one. Actually maybe just two words: read it! While Hearts at Stake is not a work of art, I loved the fun relationship between the best friends and their families and I was literally laughing the whole time!

Tarantallegra

makes you dance uncontrollably 

A series final that made you feel giddy: The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead. This is one of my favorite books... the end is just.... GAH! So good! There's action, romance and everything you want in a novel. (Also, I must mention that I am so glad there is the Bloodlines series so I can still live in this world.)

Bombarda Maxima

causes an explosion

A book that made you explode with the feels: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. This is probably my favorite light contemporary of ALL TIME. Actually, I just reread it for the fourth time a week ago. Also, I officially want to enroll into a boarding school in Paris. Anyone up for comin' with me? 

So, that was part two! What do you think of this awesome survey?
