Not sure who created this tag but I found it here.
1. Do you get sick while reading in a car?
No I've read quite a lot in cars but when I'm out I tend to do most of my reading while I'm walking or I'm line. I've read on the bus too.
2. Which author’s writing style is completely unique to you and why?
I really don't know. I love Rainbow Rowell's writing. Stephanie Perkins is also really good.
3. Harry Potter Series or the Twilight Saga? Give 3 points to defend your answer.
What? I've read both. Okay scratch that since I didn't read the fifth book in the Twilight series. I can't even remember the name of the book. Something about a Bree.
The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner
Twilight should get credit for getting people to read but it is kind of annoying that people end up hating vampires because of this series. Uh if there are no fangs they aren't vampires. They are just blood drinkers. Also it annoys me when people try to claim The Vampire Diaries is a rip off of Twilight. No it isn't because it came out like twenty years beforehand.
As for Harry Potter we all have The Worst Witch books to thank for this series and weirdly the Teletubbies. Look at the symbol on top of their heads. They form the Deathly Hallows symbol. Harry Potter of course got more people into reading which is great. It is one of those rare series that appeals to a wide variety of ages.
4. Do you carry a book bag? If so, what is in it (besides books)?
I had a backpack and I'm assuming it was thrown away with all my other stuff I wasn't allowed to pack when I move. If you're moving make sure you pack everything and force the others who are "helping" you to stick around until you have moved everything.
5. Do you smell your books?
No
6. Books with or without little illustrations?
I'm okay with both. I like little pictures that show up.
7. What book did you love while reading but discovered later it wasn’t quality writing?
I wouldn't say love but it was highly readable. Pretty much any book by Sara Shepard. Since her books are so readable she has nudged Stephen King out of my most read author. Yikes.
8. Do you have any funny stories involving books from your childhood? Please share!
Not really. When the school bus never arrived I was read walking home when the bus caught up to me just as I was about to reach my house.
9. What is the tiniest book on your shelf?
The Slow Regard Of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss
10. What is the thickest book on your shelf?
Since I'm not sure which books I still own I'd have to go with It by Stephen King. I can't stress how much I hate the trade paperback. First it came to me all beat the fuck up and second it is just awkward to hold.
11. Do you write as well as read? Do you see yourself in the future as being an author?
I've been fictionally blocked for about three or four years. I do recaps and reviews on things that aren't books so I'm writing. As you can tell if you explore this site for a bit you'll notice I have a lot of stuff on here.
12. When did you get into reading?
I really don't know. I have always just read. Maybe it has to do with me being anti social.
13. What is your favourite classic book?
I don't really have one. I went through this strange phase after high school where I just randomly read classics.
14. In school what was your best subject?
Nothing unless you count writing letters. In Algebra my notes were passed around the class. I wrote weird ass stories. This was before I did periods and paragraphs.
15. If you were given a book as a present that you had read before and hated, what would you do?
I would return it or see if I could see it at the used book store. I do need an excuse to go in there. Thank you anxiety for preventing me from going in there sooner.
16. What is a lesser known series that you know of that is similar to Harry Potter or the Hunger Games?
It is beyond obvious that The Worst Witch series was heavily influenced with JK Rowling while she was writing Harry Potter. She expanded upon it quite a bit since I think the original books were aimed more at a younger audience and Harry Potter gets dark. Also Ursula LeGuin was I believe the first one to write about a magic school. I'm going to check that out. It is just kind of annoying when everyone thinks oh this book is like Harry Potter because of the magic school when she wasn't the first one writing about a magic school. I do admit that I'm not sure about the timing of the magic school on Charmed but of course that made sense to do since they are witches.
17. What is a bad habit you always do while blogging?
I don't know. I never really got the hang of doing a proper book review. Everyone else puts down links to Goodreads and puts the synopsis down. I just write down my thoughts. I am also bad at visiting blogs because I have to limit my time online because of my back. I also don't seem to have thoughts that cause interaction with people. This place is pretty quiet so I'm not sure if anyone is even coming here even though I have stats from Weebly staring me in the face. I just don't believe them and wish I could turn them off because if they were true I would think someone would be saying something or liking posts.
18. What is your favorite word?
I think I use so a lot. I don't know why. I don't know that I'd call it a favorite word.
19. Are you a nerd, dork, or dweeb? Or all of the above?
I think I'm not smart enough to be a nerd so I'm hovering between dork and dweeb.
20. Vampires or Fairies? Why?
I like both. My first vampires were Louis and Lestat the real ones. I guess they speak to the darkness in my soul.
21. Shapeshifters or Angels? Why?
I love Castiel on Supernatural. I don't hate shapeshifters but with those kinds of stories you're more likely to get more sex. That can get so damn boring. A perfect example of that would be the Anita Blake books. I liked them before she became a succubus that bangs everything under the moon.
22. Spirits or Werewolves? Why?
Werewolves fall into the same category as shifters. With spirits you have super creepiness and odds are good that you won't have boring sex scenes to slog through. I don't mind some but it can get very cringey. Seriously? A slit? Why just why?
23. Zombies or Vampires? Why?
I've never really been into zombies. They just bore me since they just seem to be mindless while vampires are more like humans. I guess that explains why I stopped watching iZombie. I liked it but I was so over the jokes about her skin. Bitch I'm fair skinned and because of people being shitty I pretty much cover myself so people aren't staring at the pale girl.
24. Love Triangle or Forbidden Love?
Yawn to both. It all depends on how it is done.
25. And finally: Full on romance books or action-packed with a few love scenes mixed in?
I'd rather have the action. If it isn't the main focus I'm okay with romance in books. It really depends on how it is done. I read the Fifty Shades books and found them hilarious. I don't consider them romance. I consider it a black comedy.
