I was tagged by The Bookish Wormy for this one! I used to love The Sims back in the day, although I haven’t played it in years. I would actually have Sims playing parties when I was in high school. All my friends would come over and we’d sit in my basement for hours building the most elaborate, extravagant house we possibly could… and then we’d actually, you know, play the game for all of an hour or so before falling asleep, because, by that point, it would be 2:00 in the morning. It’s been a while since I played, but this should be fun. 🙂

THE ORIGINAL SIMS | best author debut
I’ve read a lot of debuts in the last couple years, and I’ve loved a lot of them! My favorite debut of 2018 (so far) is Love Scene, Take Two. My favorite debut of all time is The Hate U Give.
THE GRIM REAPER | the saddest character death
Every death in A Conjuring of Light is the saddest. I’m not going to say which character death absolutely destroyed me just in case somebody hasn’t read this book yet.
SIMS GETTING STUCK | a character that got in the way
I’m really throwing it back now to an ARC I reviewed more than three years ago! I was apparently a much more generous reviewer then, because I would definitely give this book one star if I read it now. Twisted Souls is a cute second chance romance… until it randomly turns into a love triangle and the WRONG GUY ruins everything.
SIMLISH | a book with amazing writing
I’ve probably already hyped up this book enough, but oh my god. It was so good.
EXPANSION PACKS | a series where the books kept on getting better
There are ten books in the entire, expanded Addicted series. I was somewhere around three stars for the first couple books, but as the series goes on, they get better and better.
SIMS ROMANCE | the worst case of instalove
It’s no secret that I really hated Boarded by Love. Like… so much. The main characters fall in love at first sight and it makes no sense and I hated it.
CHEATS | a book that was entirely unrealistic
I know that a lot of people loved Sleeping Giants, but I couldn’t get over how unrealistic it was.
NEEDS FULFILLMENT | a character who made all the wrong decisions
Josh and Hazel make a lot of wrong decisions in Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating. They get their act together in the end, but it sure takes them a while to get there.
ERROR CODE 12 | a series that started off great but went downhill from there
I was so into Divergent when I first read it. I didn’t love Insurgent, but I cared enough to keep going. Then I got to Allegiant. It’s one of the only books I have ever legitimately thrown across the room out of anger. I think the only other book to hold that honor is Breaking Dawn, which was just… an actual disaster.
SIMS VORTEX | a book/series that completely engrossed you
I could not put 172 Hours on the Moon down, except sometimes when I needed to take a breath from the spookiness. It’s been a long time since I was this into a book.

I’ve only read Divergent. I was going to continue with the series until I found out what happens in the last book. Nope! Never going to continue it haha.

I also only read the first book haha, but I didn’t like Divergent much to begin with. The farfetchedness was a bit much for me and the whole thing felt formulaic. Watched the other movies though, shame they tried to split the last one into two instalments for the cash grab and then ended up without funding to even finish.

I only watched the first movie lol. The movie franchise was botched. I read somewhere they were thinking of making the final installment into a tv series. But without the original cast. Which is just ridiculous.

Yes the lack of resolution was quite disappointing. Quite obvious the cast didn’t care about it by that point.

I’ve never been a fan of the Sims, but I shouldn’t be surprised there’s a book tag for it 😀 Great answers, my TBR just grew even more lol.

172 Hours on the Moon was one of my favourites when I was younger. Maybe the only horror novel I’ve ever loved, because I scare easily and don’t normally read horror as I like happy endings. But damn, 172 Hours/DARLAH got me good. I kept wishing, hoping that somehow they’ll pull through even though I knew they wouldn’t, and it just made everything even worse. Most likely there’ll never be a sequel, but I want one badly.

I have no tolerance for spooky things, but I loved it so much! My review will be up sometime next week, but basically I was just going, “Nope… Nope… NOPE” while I was reading it. But I couldn’t put it down!

This is such a great tag – I was a huge fan of the sims! I just don’t get to play as often as I did when I was a kid!
I completely agree with you about Divergent though. It started off SO good, and then just was SO bad lol!

Divergent’s ending was so disappointing! And I don’t think I’ve played The Sims in at least ten years, but I used to love it so much. 🙂

I agree with Divergent! The first book was so good but I didn’t really enjoy the second one and after the spoilers of book three I never plan to read it. I still haven’t read A Conjuring of Light or Nevernight… or Addicted.
My friend bought me Sims few months ago and I played it a lot until it suddenly stopped working… oops.

Well I highly recommend all three! And I’m sorry your Sims game stopped working!!

And now I’m playing a game of Sims which I haven’t played in ages just because I’ve seen this tag and was reminded at how fun it is 😛 I’m trying to get my guy kidnapped by aliens but it’s not happening so far…
