Author You’ve Read The Most From:

When I was in my early teens, I loved Darren Shan! I’m not interested in his new zombie stuff, but even so, I don’t think any other author comes close! haha

---

Best Sequel Ever:

Sometimes sequels can fall very short of expectations, but here are a few that are just beautiful sequels!

• Prince’s Gambit – C.S. Pacat

I actually enjoyed Captive Prince, I know the first book in this trilogy has a bad reputation. However, Prince’s Gambit made me love the characters even more and it really solidified Laurent and Damen’s personalities and I love them so much! ♥

• Unravel Me – Tahereh Mafi

Shatter Me was so boring. I was so close to not continuing, other than the fact that Whitney from Whittynovels always raves about this series haha! And I’m so glad I did! Unravel Me was wonderful! Juliette’s character development makes me so happy!

Drink Of Choice While Reading:

I tend to only really drink water… so water haha

---

E-Reader Or Physical Book?

I prefer to read the physical book, however, late at night (or in lectures) using the Overdrive app on my phone is so helpful and just logistically easier.

---

Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:

NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!!! I love him so much and I think we would have got on really well in secondary school (but I went to an all girls school, so he would have been the hot version when we would have met, so I don’t think I’d be in his league haha ^^”)

---

Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:

I have talked about this a couple of times, but here we go again~

Illuminae – by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff – is a mixed media book set in the future and in space. I’ve seen so many people rave about this trilogy and I never really wanted to read it, but then I saw it in person last year and I just wanted to buy it haha

But I’m so glad I picked this up! Space stuff in books isn’t my thing, but this was just perfection and I’m so excited to read Obsidio at some point this month!

---

Hidden Gem Book:

The Girl of Ink and Stars – by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

---

Important Moment in your Reading Life:

Finding out that book sleeves are a thing!! And then finding out that you can knit them! The left one is a book sleeve from ARTISANAL ANÉ and the book sleeve on the right is one that I knitted myself ♥

---

Just Finished:

I had a lecture on Dante’s Inferno which made me really interested in reading the first book in the Divine Comedy, so I did!

---

Kinds of Books You Won’t Read:

I’m not really sure for this one. There are genres I don’t go to often, like Contemporary, sci-fi, thriller. But sometimes there are some great books in those genres that I stumble upon. I guess non-fiction?

---

Longest Book You’ve Read:

The Norton Anthology of Poetry is a whopping 2,182 pages and has those horrible thing Bible-y pages that you have to be so careful with.

---

Major Book Hangover Because Of:

The High Lord – Trudi Canavan

I was about 10 or less pages from the end, and I gave up! But because I was so heartbroken and in despair!

Every time I looked at this book for about a week or two after I put it down, I teared up

(but of course I made sure to read the last page haha :p)

---

Number of Bookcases You Own:

I recently posted a pic of my book cases, but I’ll put it here too. I have 4 altogether, but I need more because I have a book buying problem!

---

One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is my favourite book of all time and last year in March I read it about 4 times, and 2 of those were consecutively! I will definitely be reading it at some point again this year! And probably more than once haha

---

Preferred Place To Read:

Somewhere comfy! So the sofa, armchair or bed 🙂

---

Quote That Inspires You/Gives You All The Feels From A Book You’ve Read:

“Until the end” from The Dying of the Light by Derek Landy – is my favourite quote and it makes me so emotional and inspired and I even got it tattooed on me!

Hopefully you can see the tattoo okay, this pic was a currently reading pic for my instagram haha~

---

Reading Regret:

I don’t have reading regrets… at least I don’t think I do. I don’t quite understand why people would have them.

---

Series You Started And Need To Finish (all books are out in series):

A part of my anxiety makes it difficult for me to finish series, so this is a pretty extensive list now… ones that I can think of on the top of my head are

• The Mortal Instruments
• Keys to the Kingdom series
• Lord of the Rings etc.

---

Three of your All-Time Favorite Books:

• Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen. Of course.
• Skulduggery Pleasant – Derek Landy
• Twilight – Stephanie Meyer. Don’t @me!

---

Unapologetic Fangirl For:

Skulduggery Pleasant! I love this series and I will forever stand by Derek Landy and this series. I see its flaws and I’m not necessarily a great fan of the newer books, but I’m still here for them!

---

Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:

I’m so stuck in my own collection and working my way through my books, that I’m not really sure what is coming out and whether I should be excited or not haha ^^”

---

Worst Bookish Habit:

Buying an entire series before even starting the first book… I do this all the time and I have so many series on my shelves that I still haven’t got to yet.

Realistically, this probably won’t change haha

---

X Marks The Spot

• Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:

I’m currently at uni, so I don’t have access to my bookcases, but I can go round the books I have here~

A Spy in the House (Agency #1) by Y.S. Lee.

I also just came to the realisation that I have around 30 books in my uni room… whoops!

---

Your Latest Book Purchase:

I racked up points on my Waterstones account and I decided to buy Scythe and Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman

---

ZZZ-Snatcher Book:

• Last Book That Kept You Up WAY Late:

This was more of a: I should be going to sleep, but I’m going to read anyway. So I don’t know if this counts. But anyway, I stayed up way too late to read both Heartstopper Vol 1 – Alice Oseman – and Fence Vol 1 – C.S. Pacat which are both graphic novels.

Thanks for reading! I hope you are having a lovely day~
