Book Survey

Hello! For today's Book Tag Thursday I decided to do a survey that I found on Tumblr. Original post.

  1. What is your favourite book?Just one? Okay I have to say Jane Eyre  because it was the first classic that I picked out that I read. 
  2. Who is your favourite author?I can't pick just one. Sarah J Maas, Holly Black, Rainbow Rowell, Alexandra Silber, John Green, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Ashley Poston, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera, and the like.  
  3. What genre do you prefer?I love YA. Everything in the YA genre at least I will try. Contemporary, Fantasy as long as it has good characters and plot, Sci Fi- see Fantasy. I also love the classics and am breaking into Non Fiction. In all honesty, I have a soft spot for Historical Fiction of all kinds. 
  4. What is your favourite book series?The Hunger Games trilogy, A Court of Thorns and Roses and Folk of Air. 
  5. What books did you hate reading in school?Flowers For Algernon. I had read it like three times by the time I was a Freshman in High school and it was just tiring. 
  6. What is the first book you remember reading as a child?A Madeline Book. Either the first one or Madeline and the Bad Hat.  
  7. Bookstores or libraries?Bookstores!
  8. How many books do you own?- Probably like 100? I am not sure honestly. 
  9. Do you read before bed? Not really
  10. What is your most comfortable reading position?Sitting on my bed. 
  11. What is the most recent book you read?Finished: Enchantee by Gita Trelease
  12. What quote from any book will you never forget? Why is it significant?- "I Promise you on Iron and Stars."- Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston. I find it significant because I love the premise behind it.  
  13. Science Fiction or Fantasy?Fantasy
  14. What books do you regret reading?Regret? Probably Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I would like to go back and start it over at some maybe. 
  15. How large is your bookshelf?I have a media center with two shelves filled and one bookcase with three filled space on a few. I have a small open cabinet of the media shelf that can be filled.  
  16. On average, how many books do you read per year?
    More than 30. 
  17. What book can you read hundreds of times and never get tired of?Jane Eyre.
  18. Do you like to read outside?It depends. I can read in the car too and from places but also I can read on the deck. It depends on my mood. 
  19. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from a book?This seems odd I know, but not to judge a book based on the summary. 
  20. Of the past year, what is the greatest book you’ve read?My favorite read of 2018 was Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it.

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from  this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series!  2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads.  3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
