What images do you have set as your desktop/📱 wallpaper: It’s a commission of Ritsu and Dmitri that I bought from @makiokuta !! You can see it here! :^D My phone bg right now is a commission I got from @talkyorgans, which I posted here with permission a couple months ago. ;0

Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?: Nah.... there was one teacher in high school that I felt like everyone had a crush on, and even though I wasn’t crushin’ on him I did think he was pretty cool. :v Mostly because he actually remembered me by name like 2 years after I took his class, ahaha. (I tend not to make an impression on teachers since i’m super quiet;;; I APPRECIATE BEING REMEMBERED OK) These aren’t crushes, but a physics teacher from my high school and my intro psychology professor at my undergrad college (who has a wiki page for some reason????) had some degree of influence on Noland’s character. :V

Where do you 👀 yourself in 10 years: idk my dude, hopefully with a job. also I want to live in a townhouse................

If you could be anywhere else right now, where would you be: home I guess, which is where I am rn. :u gettin ready for bed soon.

What was your coolest Halloween costume?: I did a makeshift Professor Layton costume in like 10th grade or something and some random child thought I was Nanny McPhee which.... was cool i suppose.....

Favourite 📓: how foolish of you..... to assume i read books.... man I seriously don’t know. I haven’t read a book in so long... If we count manga, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness is probably the most recent manga I’ve read that I’ve liked. I’ve only read the unofficial translation tho, I kinda wanna buy a paperback version of the official translation at some point...

Stupidest thing you’ve ever done: HM HM!!! I’M NOT SURE.... the only stupid thing I can think of rn is a couple years ago I was on my way to class and happened to pass the bagel store (?) inside my school’s student center--the dude at the counter greeted me while I was walking as if I was a customer bc I made eye contact with him, and instead of like... ignoring him or saying “I’m on my way to class yo no time for bagels” I kinda just... nervously walked over to the counter and bought something bc I didn’t want to be rude or smth;;; (???????) yeah. 

ANYWAY!!! THERE U GO... I’m not gonna tag anyone today but as usual if you feel like doing this you’re always welcome to say that I tagged you!

[pandabearer]

Thank you @readalotsleepyhead​ for tagging me! I’m excited bc i feel like I rarely get to talk about books, but I have so many that I love!

1.) Which book has been on your shelves the longest?

I’m not 100% sure bc I can’t remember which happened first. The first book that I ever bought was Bliss by Lauren Myracle. I wasn’t a big fan of it at all. But the first book that my mother ever bought me was the Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce (it was technically one book with all 4 stories included). I think I may have gotten the Tamora Pierce book first though?

2.) What is your current read, your last read, and the book you’ll read next?

I’m reading more than one book right now, but the ones that are my main focus are my rereads of acotar and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and actually finishing Gangsta (hope manga count). Acowar was the last book that I actually finished. And next I’ll probably start on King Hall by Scarlett Dawn which a friend recommended to me recently.

3.) Which book does everyone like and you hated?

I don’t really think I’ve ever really hated a book I’ve chosen to read. I eventually stopped reading the House of Night novels bc the heroine started getting on my nerves, but I was more disappointed in the authors than anything. There were still some aspects of the books that I liked though. Maybe Percy Jackson? I never got all the way through the series, but the fandom really turned me off of the books.

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

I keep saying I’ll finish the Divergent series but it’s pretty unlikely. I finished the first book, but then my twin spoiled the end and a major death for me so I haven’t been able to bring myself to finish it and I probably won’t.

5.) Which book are you saving for “retirement”?

I guess I’m saving the entire asoiaf series. There are so many books already, with 2 more hopefully on the way. I want to save the books until they’re all published at least, bc I don’t want to get frustrated waiting like so many people already have. Plus there is so much that I definitely need a while to get through it all.

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

It depends on whether the book is a physical copy or an ebook. I never bother going all the way to the end to take a peek with an ebook. But I’ve been known to read the last paragraph or so of a physical book before starting from the beginning. (I majorly spoiled myself once doing that though and never even bother reading the book, it’s still just sitting on my self </3 ).

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

I think that it really depends on how the author executes it in regard to them being interesting. I rarely care enough about the author to read the acknowledgements (oops) so I think that is also a factor. If I’ve read another story by the author, or the plot was amazing, or the characters really drew me in and had me invested then I’m more likely to appreciate and bother with acknowledgements. So overall I’d say it varies, but for me they mostly don’t matter.

8.) Which book character would you switch places with?

This one is super tough. I’m going to say Hermione though. I think that the opportunity to experience magic and that world and it’s creatures, along with being around such extraordinary people and forming such strong relationships would make the trying and traumatic experiences that she goes through worth it tbh.

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

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince reminds me of all the times I fucked around with my friends during study hall in 6th grade (I’m 21 in a month how do I remember this).

10.) Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.

I’ve bought all my books or been gifted them by my fam. All of them except two. During my last 2 years of high school I was home schooled and the school sent me the books I was supposed to use. At the end of the year they emailed me the ones that I was supposed to return by mail. The list didn’t include To Kill a Mockingbird or Our Town by Thornton Wilder, so those 2 are still on my shelf.

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

When I was younger I was super possessive of my books (more so than I am now) so I never would have willingly given them away (I legit only let one friend that I trusted even borrow my books) plus my mother would have killed me for doing that with something she spent money on. But me twin let a friend borrow our shared copy of the first Maximum Ride novel and we never got it back so that could count right?

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

Probably either The Host or The Hunger Games. I know I took them both to school when I was younger, and to friends’ houses. I’ve also taken them to college to reread when I’m bored and have some time.

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

I don’t remember a lot of the required reading, but I liked the majority that I can remember like The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Outsiders. We always saw the movies after finishing the books too, which was fun. The ones I didn’t like reading (that I can remember) were things like The Scarlet Letter, which was hard to understand, and A Separate Peace, which was full of details that a bunch of 14 yr olds were supposed to find deeper meaning in. I didn’t like them then and I’m still not a big fan now (but it’s been less than 10 yrs so I still have time I guess).

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

Probably just some notes and underlining in a used copy of Don Quixote that I bought. Now the strangest item that I’ve ever put in a book is another story. It was a library book that I’d checked out and I had written down a bunch of misleadingly sexual URL’s that I’d found online on the receipt. Things like penisland.com (pen island). Then I forgot the receipt in the book when I turned it back in.

15.) Used or brand new?

I prefer new, but if I’m tight on cash and I really want the book I’ll buy used. Lately I’ve just been doing ebooks bc they’re pretty cheap and I can start reading right away (give me that instant gratification).

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

I’ve never entirely finished a Stephen King book, and the ones I’ve started I barely remember so I can’t really say. I’ve liked the majority of the movies and shows I’ve seen based on his books and short stories, but I don’t know how accurate they are to his actual works.

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

Pride and Prejudice probably. I’ve liked all the interpretations I’ve seen more than the book surprisingly, even the zombie version, and don’t think I don’t feel like a heathen bc of it (I still like the book though, don’t get me wrong). I think it just translates well to the screen, or maybe we’ve just been lucky. In most cases though I like the book better, even if I do enjoy the movie too.

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

Twilight

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

If we’re not allowed to count cookbooks then the answer is no, not as far as I can remember.

20.) Who is the person who’s book advice you’ll always take?

Idk if I would always take anyone’s advice about books. I mostly trust my own instincts over anything else. Probably the person I trust most would be ma girl Ash who does the most reading of any of my friends, including me. But she’s not very selective about the books she reads, she’ll try just about anything, whereas I’m a little more particular about what I like. If she’s really emphatic about a book though I can generally trust it to be good.

This took longer than I thought it would. I had to try looking up a couple books bc I couldn’t even remember their names. Hmmm, I guess I’ll just tag @starswove since I’m not sure who all are readers. @lev-viathan I don’t know what all you’ve read, but if you wanna do this you can just put a different warrior cats book for every answer :3c
