The Nightmare Before Christmas Book Tag

October 15, 2018      Erica Robyn      34 Comments

The Nightmare Before Christmas Book Tag

It has been ages since I have done a book tag. When Esther from BiteIntoBooks tagged me in this one, I just couldn’t pass it up! After all, I’m quite obsessed with all things Nightmare!

This tag was created by The Butterfly Reader. Check out her post here!

Let’s dive into the tag!

The Nightmare Before Christmas Book Tag

Jack Skellington

Jack – A book with a character who longs for more
Victor and Eli from Vicious by V.E. Schwab
In this book, both main characters long for more! This longing ends up destroying their friendship… Read my review of Vicious here!

Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas

Sally – A book with a character who loves someone so much and actually gets them in the end
I’m going to skip this one because the only book that came to mind for this prompt would be a total spoiler!

Nightmare Before Christmas Zero & Jack

Zero – A book with a loyal sidekick

Ford Prefect, The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Ford not only saves Arthur from death when the planet is scheduled for demolition, Ford also sticks by Arthur through thick and thin and helps him along their mission.
Nightmare Before Christmas Oogie Boogie
Oogie Boogie – A book with one hell of a wicked villain
Count Olaf from A Series of Unfortunate Events
Olaf is one of my all time favorite villains! You never know what scheme he is trying to cook up next!

Halloween Town – A book that’s creepy or has a scary theme
The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson
The plot of this story is terrifying to me! It is such an original horror story filled with life, death, and lots of blood. While reading, I felt very unsettled and anxious throughout; I loved it! Check out my review of The Murders of Molly Southbourne here!

Christmas Town – A book that left you feeling warm and fuzzy inside
The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald
This is such heartwarming story! If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it! This one gave me all the feels.

What’s This? – A book that took you by surprise
Switched by R.L. Stine
The ending of this book took me totally by surprise! I definitely did not see it coming. Feel free to read my review of Switched here!

Your turn!
If you’re a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas, or just want to do this tag, consider yourself tagged! <3 If you complete the tag, feel free to leave your links in the comments below! I’d love to check out your picks!

Looking for your Nightmare fix? I own each of the items below and I love them all! I considered putting all of my collection here… but it would be a bit overwhelming. 😀

    I got tagged for this, too. I agree about Victor and Eli wanting more. I just reread that book and reminded myself how crazy they are.

    Second time I've come across this tag this week. I'm a big fan of this movie too. This and Hocus Pocus are the two nonnegotiable movies I watch every October. Intrigued by The Murders of Molly Southbourne. I don't mind a little blood, haha.

      Same here!! I watch Nightmare pretty frequently throughout the year, but I definitely make sure to watch it a few times during October along with Hocus Pocus! 🙂 I would LOVE to read your thoughts on The Murders of Molly Southbourne!! I think I'll have to re-read that again this month!

    Count Olaf was quite evil right? I love Ford Perfect and he is the most perfect side kick ever.

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
