~The Disney Princess Book Tag~

So, Olivia at Meanwhile, in Rivendell did this tag and she said anyone could do it, so I decided to do it. It's been a long while since I was tagged, I'm looking forward to answering!



1. Snow White: Name your favourite classic.

Uhm, sorry, classic? What exactly does that ''classic'' mean? Is it like: classic books like Jane Austen or classic books like Laura Ingalls Wilder? When someone says ''classic'', I think of books like that. So, I'll say The Little House on the Prairie books then. Those are classics, right?



2. Cinderella: Name a book that has kept you reading well past your bedtime.

Well, I have actually never read a book ''way'' past my bedtime. Sometimes, I have read a book for a while when everybody's lights were turned off, except for mine. One of those books is The Shadow Throne by Jennifer A. Nielsen. Or any book from that trilogy.


3. Aurora: Name your favourite classic romance.

I don't actually read that much classic romance books. I guess Pride&Prejudice, because I have read that one.



4. Ariel: Name a book that's about making sacrifices and fighting for your dreams.

Oh dear. I can't remember any that is like that. The Young Samurai by Chris Bradford maybe? That's about making sacrifices to achieve the goal, and fighting to achieve it. So I'll just put that one in.


5. Belle: Name a book with a smart and independent female character.

Oh no. Okay...uhm.....A Woman's Place by Lynn Austin.  For as far as I can have an opinion, the female characters in that book are pretty smart and independent.



6. Jasmine: Name a book with a character who challenged the social conventions of his/her world.

A Proper Pursuit by Lynn Austin? It has a character who did things her own way and decided things on herself, and it's really a great book.


7. Pocahontas: Name a book with an ending that was a roller-coaster of emotions.

I'm gonna go with Olivia's answer and say The Book Thied by Marcus Zusak. It was just so sad.



8. Mulan: Name a book with a (totally boss) female character.

Borrowed the ''totally boss'' from Olivia :) But to the question. The Help by Kathryn Stockett has some female characters like that. Or Wonderland Creek. If that is, that by ''totally boss'', I understand correctly that it is meant a stubborn and strong character. If not, sorry for my unknowingness ;P


9. Tiana: Name a book featuring a hardworking, self-made character.

Okay, I'm doing another Lynn Austin book. Hidden Places.



10. Rapunzel: Name a book featuring an artist.

 The only book I have ever read about an artist was The Painters Daughter, by Julie Klassen. No other book ever included a painter.                                                                                                                 

 11. Merida: Name a book that features a mother-daughter relationship.                                               

Right, Pascal, you're right. No idea. I haven't read that much books with a mother-daughter relationship. Stella Street, but that doesn't count.  Little Women then? It has mother-daughter(s) relationship.                                                                                                                                     

 

 

12. Anna and Elsa: Name a book that features a great relationship between siblings.                                                 

 

Ooh, I have one! The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall. Or My Heart Remembers by Kim Vogel Sawyer. Or Until W Reach Home by Lynn Austin. Or To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, but Olivia already has that one and I don't want to have too many similar choices, that looks like I can't pick choices myself. Which I can.




Well, thanks Olivia for the tag! I really enjoyed it!

And I wish there was more...

~Wintery Wintery Winter!~

 Winter has come! Winter with a capital ''W''. Snowy winter, icy winter, cold winter. Where little white crystals, who miraculously are all different, fall from the sky and land on the cold ground. Or where raindrops pitter-patter on leafs, streets and roofs and all else outside, with grey rainclouds and pools, or white white snow that hurts your eyes because it's so white, and blue skies, yellow-white clouds, sunbeams peeking through the windows, and slowly melting snow, whatever is most common where you live. Or maybe it isn't even winter where you live. That's possible. Anyhow, today it is the really white snow and blue skies with yellow-white clouds for us, and yesterday (and the day before) it was the first option with a lot of snow swirling. And really, a lot. More than 10 centimetres fell in these past two days. And that's a lot for Holland. Because we haven't had a lot of snow these years. Yes,last year, there was pretty much later on, but not as much as this year. The years before we had wet snow to no snow at all. Not a nice winter.

That, the picture above, is really how it looked like this winter! It is not a picture of our environment, because yeah, I forgot to take pictures of them like I wanted to do and now, sadly, the snow is starting to go away. Okay, there's still a real thick pack of snow right now, but it's not as pretty as it was. So just a random winter picture from Pinterest then. Today, it hasn't snowed anymore, it stopped snowing yesterday at around...I don't know...9 o'clock in the evening or something like that? Maybe 8 o'clock. So it snowed the day before yesterday, pretty hard, and me and my siblings (that is me, my three younger siblings, my older brother and my older sister. Not my oldest sister) and some kids from the neighborhood went outside and started a snowball fight. For a while, but then we started making two forts, one for the boys and one for the girls. Then, one of the neighbor kids said we could make an iglo. And we did. We broke the girls' fort down and added it to the boys' fort, and we made half of the iglo. Almost the whole circle was done, and it was about the height of my five year old brother, but we didn't finish it. Probably won't finish it at all, 'cause it will get warmer this week until 6 degrees. So, no finished iglo then. Yesterday, we also built a bit of the iglo (that's when we built almost the whole circle) and it was snowing real hard with a cold cold wind. My toes were freezing off (metaphorically speaking, of course), it was so cold. Luckily, I had a warm winterjacket, and good gloves, but I don't have snowboots, so I used my boots. Really really cold (My feet started itching when I was warming up again). Of course, the whole hall was full of ice, snow and water, which is really annoying, but that's cleaned now.

Okay, so I'm curious now. I made a new page that includes reviews I have made over the past two years, and I added something to my sidebar, namely ''Labels''. But...when I view my blog, I cannot see anything new. Still no ''Labels'' and also still just 5 pages, and not 6. How is that possible while I did publish the ''Reviews'' page three times and I made the ''Labels'' thingy on the sidebar and saved it twice? I mean, I can't see anything right now, can you? Maybe it's a bug or something. Which would not be nice, but you can't have everything, right? Anyhow, how was winter at your place?

~Lately~

Well, I'm on Blogger for two years now. I made a new header...it was my birhtday last month. We've been watching Gilmore Girls for the second time (We're on the beginning of season 3 now), I've made 140 posts, with this one being my 141th, and 6 pages. Don't pay attention to my first posts, I was new on Blogger and I didn't know anything. Better not read those ;) I have 21 followers. Ha. Last time I checked I had 18, but I never check how many followers I have. It doesn't interest me that much how much there are, but who they are does interest me, because I would like to know who follows me. 8, 163 is the number of pageviews, and I follow 37 blogs. I have been reading The Penderwicks again, because I had nothing to read and The Penderwick is always a good read if you're in the mood for something happy, and cosy. And listening to...well, a lot of different songs. I've been drawing sometimes, in my new sketchbook, which I got for my birthday(my other one was totally full). As for the movies we watched lately...The Lady in the Van(which was absolutely boring, at least for me), Thunder and the House of Magic(an animated movie) which was actually pretty nice to watch, we watched The Boss Baby(also animated) which I liked more than I thought, and we wacthed Paddington again(my older brother didn't see it before, so we borrowed it from the library again for him to see), I lost my library pass. Ugh, so stupid of me. I had it in my pocket, and then I must have lost it in the car or in the library.

Gilmore Girls always makes us laugh, it's really a good show!

Oh yeah, and we watched The Walk a while ago, and it was really great(I thought it was gonna be boring, because documentaries are not my favourite) Also Storks(another animated movie), which was...okay. Some really weird stuff like baby machines(that was also in Boss Baby), but it was good. I am still studying Spanish and Latin. And I read the book from Ranger's Apprentice that I really wanted to read, it was rather short(a novella) but still great as always. For the rest, I haven't really done something interesting. Well, it may snow Saturday. I hope it will, snow is so great! So, nothing further to say...I bought new earrings...Okay, now bye!
