So Jamie at The Perpetual Page Turner came out with this little survey and I felt compelled to complete it. I used to fill out every single survey back in the MySpace days so this was a throwback to my youth.
Author you’ve read the most books from:
J.K Rowling, Ellen Hopkins. Although back in the day I
read a ton of R.L Stine.
Best Sequel Ever:
I think I have to go with
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. After the Hunger Games it was a great
follow-up.
Currently Reading:
The Edge of Never by JA
Redmerksi Not a bad read so far.
Drink of Choice While Reading:
Champagne, wine, coffee, tea. I don’t discriminate!
Usually wine though.
E-reader or Physical Book?
I do love the ease of the e-reader, but something about
holding a book in your hand and stacking the shelves with a real book just
makes it the winner of the two. Plus, you don’t have to deal with sun issues
while reading an actual book outside.
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have
Actually Dated In High School:
Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Introverts unite!
Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:
The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. What a great read. I always
hesitated when I was passed by this book at a bookstore/online based on the
title alone and finally someone picked it for a bookclub read and it was fantastic!
Hidden Gem Book:
Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O’Neill. I really should doa review on this book. Canadian author to boot!
Important Moment in your Reading Life:
Hmmm, I guess when
I finally decided to get reading glasses. Its amazing how much clearer it
is! Lol. For serious though, I think
when I started to review books on this blog.
Just Finished:
Belinda’s Ring by Corrina Chong. Great read.
Kinds of Books You Won’t Read:
I will give anything a chance. Even just to be like WHAT
THE FUUUUCK did I just read? I think by only reading certain types of genre you
do yourself a disservice. While I may not agree with the viewpoint of the
author, I still think it makes my opinion stronger. Yes, there are some genres that I just don’t
like, aliens and westerns for example, so I won’t go out of my way to read
them, but if someone recommends/gives them to me I will read them. I mean,
maybe it’s the book that will change my life?
Longest Book You’ve Read:
Oh man, I have no idea. I’ve read 1000 page books before. I don’t really pay attention to the length.
Major book hangover because of:
The Poisonwood Bible. I just loved this book and had to have a breather
and read ‘chick-lit’ no brainer books for a while.
Number of Bookcases You Own:
2. But multiple corners of book piles.
One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:
All of the Harry Potter books. As mentioned in another
post, I have a thing where I have to re-read the entire series before the next
installement/movie comes out.
Preferred Place To Read:
Usually in my bed, cuddled up with the dogs and a bevvie.
I also love reading outside, working on my tan!
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels
from a book you’ve read:
“The world isn't just the way
it is. It is how we understand it, no? And in understanding something, we bring
something to it, no?
Doesn't that make life a story?”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi
Doesn't that make life a story?”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi
Reading Regret:
Not being able to read all the time. Also, not getting
paid for reading is also a regret. Lol!! Just kidding. (kinda)
Series You Started And Need To Finish(all books are
out in series):
The Outlander series. Maybe by the end of
the year I will attempt these bad boys again.
Three of your All-Time Favorite Books:
Harry Potter series ( I count
it as one book), The Book of Negroes, The Poisonwood Bible, Crank, I can’t
pick. It’s like picking my favorite dog.
Unapologetic Fangirl For:
Does Harry Potter or Hunger Games count?
Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:
I actually don’t really anticipate books coming out. Mainly because I randmonly buy/acquire books that I don't pay attention to upcoming releases.
Worst Bookish Habit:
Where do I start? That I feel the need to finish every
single book I start even if its shit. And that I keep adding to my never ending to
read list.
X Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your
shelf and pick the 27th book:
World War Z by Max Brooks.
Your latest book purchase:
419 by Will Ferguson and Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I haven’t
bought a boook in quite a while. I am TRYING so hard to not acquire any new
books until I make a dent in my to read list. Its not going well.
ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY
late):
Thirteen
Reasons Why by JayAsher. Just had to read it all in one setting.
