24 Apr Literary Would you Rather: Fun Dilemmas for Book Lovers
Whether you’re looking for a new book or revisiting a classic, trying to find a new series, or just looking for a stand-alone story to get lost in, here are a few interesting titles with fun dilemmas to choose between.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins versus The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Would you volunteer for your sibling and fight for your district in gladiatorial combat like Katniss in The Hunger Games? Or would you rather fight for your survival in a seemingly endless maze against mechanical beasts with no idea where you are from or how you got there like Thomas in The Maze Runner?
Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu versus Damned if You Do by Alex Brown
Would it be better to be cursed and missing one essential part of you to not sleep, eat or remember like Jane and her sisters in Ever Cursed? Or would it be worse to owe your soul to your demon guidance counselor for a deal you can’t remember like Cordelia in Damned if You Do?
You & Me at the End of the World by Brianna Bourne versus If I See You Again Tomorrow by Robbie Couch
What if you were stuck in a world alone with a classmate you’ve only known in passing and had to rely on each other in a world with no other people like Hannah and Leo in You & Me at the End of the World? Would you prefer to be stuck reliving the same day over and over again for months until a new boy appears and pulls you off on an adventure? How would you find a way to escape to tomorrow like Clark when he meets Beau in If I See You Again Tomorrow?
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken versus Tess of the Road by Rachel Harman
Would you rather be on the run in search of the one safe haven for yourself and those like you, while being pursued by those who want to use your unique abilities – ones you never wanted – like Ruby and her friends in The Darkest Minds? Or would you prefer to take to the road, escaping what is expected of you, and find a new world of possibilities and your place in it like Tess in Tess of the Road?
Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé versus All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman
Would you prefer to work with your polar opposite if it meant saving your senior year like Chiamaka and Devon in Ace of Spades? Or would you rather participate in a cut throat competition where every competitor teeters between acts of heroism and villainy as everyone is thrown into lethal combat like the participants in All of Us Villains?
Now your first dilemma begins: which book will you choose first?
