Bookish Questions Tag

Thank you @snowflakes-and-sparks for tagging me! Sorry this is late. 

1) What book has been on my book shelf the longest?

Probably ‘The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar’ Or I guess Harry Potter.

2) What is your current read, last read, and next read?

current read - The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater

last read - The Grisha Trilogy by leigh bardugo

next read - A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas 

3) Which book does everyone else like but you hated?

I don’t think I’ve ever really hated a book. I usually read the first chapter of a book and if I don’t like it, I don’t read it. So I guess you could say that I’ve never read a book I didn’t like. 

4) Which book do keep telling yourself you’ll read, but probably won’t?

Redeemed by P.C. and Kristen (in?) Cast. 

5) Which book are you saving for retirement?

I never buy a book that I don’t read/finish within the first week of buying it. Why would someone wait 50+ years to retire before reading a book? What kind of blasphemy is that? 

6) Last Page: read it first or wait till the end?

Sometimes when I get a little bored while reading I’ll read the last page take a peak at the last page.

7) Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside?

I like reading them because it helps people and future novelist realize just how many people it takes to write a book. 

8) Which book character do you want to switch places with?

Errr... Can I be Kenji Kishimoto from Shatter Me? Or Maya from The Darkest Powers/Darkness Rising series?

9) Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, or a time)?

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, is basically my life with a different name. 

10) Name a book you acquired in some interesting way

When I transferred to a new High School half way through my 10th grade we had SSR (Silent Self-Reading) where we basically have to read a book for 15 minutes until the next class bell rang. Well I hadn’t brought one the first week and the second week when I opened my locker the book The Mockingjay sat on the top shelf with a sticky note saying ‘You didn’t have a book so you can have mine. Spoiler, Prim dies.’ At first it was sweet but how dare they spoil it (Good thing I didn’t know who Prim was at that point) and I still can’t figure out how they opened my locker or who it was. IT’S BEEN ALMOST FIVE YEARS COULD THE PERSON WHO BROKE INTO MY LOCKER PLEASE COME FORWARD?!?!

11) Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special reason?

I get anxiety when people borrow my books, the ideal of giving any away makes me teeter on borderline panic. But I’ve bought a few younger kid books and donated them an orphanage that I volunteered at for a year.

12) Which book has been with you to most places?

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. “Stay gold Ponyboy.” It is my favorite book and I read it at least once a month. 

13) Any “required reading” that you hated in high school, but wasn’t so bad ten years later?

The Book Thief. I hated it in school but now I love it. 

14) What the strangest item you’ve found in a book?

Someone in the library ripped out a page from a different book and placed it perfectly over a page in another book and while I was reading there was suddenly a new character and situation going on and I sat there for almost 10 minutes wondering if I missed something before I realized that page wasn’t from the book? 

15) Used or New

Preferably new, only because I’m so paranoid about used books and I don’t like things if I didn’t know who had them and where they came from. It’s a fear of the not knowing the history of used items, or more so of any kind of unknown. 

16) Stephen King: literary genius or opiate of the masses?

I mean have you read his books? I read ‘Mr. Mercedes’ and even though I only read like 10 chapters before I lost the book, the writing was AMAZING!

17) Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the books?

Nope.

18) Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid?

Twilight. They should’ve left it alone with the books. 

19) Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question?

Not really. 

20) Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?

My friends here on tumblr, everyone here- that I’ve talked to, has good taste and advice when it comes to literature. My IRL friends and family don’t read, at all. 

I’m tagging @corporalki , @samanthaslytherin , and @azuremirwae  (sorry if you’ve already done it) and anyone else who wants to do this!
