GET TO KNOW ME (BOOKISH QUESTIONS)

Friday, 20 September 2019






What/who got you into reading?

I honestly don't remember the specific moment that I fell in love with reading. It's always been something that's been a major part of my life!


Your first favourite book(s)?

Anything by Jacqueline Wilson!


Current favourite book?

I've recently read the 'Stalking Jack The Ripper' series by Kerri Maniscalco and it's one of the best things I've read in a while so I'd definitely say they're my current favourites. 


Favourite book of all time?

I don't think any book lover could possibly name ONE favourite book of all time. There are so many! 


Least favourite book of all time?

I haven't actually come across a book that I really hate so I don't think I could answer this one.


An author(s) that you dislike/hate?

I don't typically dislike specific authors so much as specific books. I'll always give an author a second chance with different works if I didn't gel with the first.


An author(s) you like/love?

Kristen Ashley, Sarah J Maas, Jamie McGuire...


What popular book do you just hate?

I couldn't gel with 'Cruel Prince' by Holly Black at all. I had to DNF it just over half way through because I couldn't force my way through it.


How many books do you read a month?

I would like to say around 5-6 a month on average although it depends entirely on what I have going on at the time!


What do you do to get through a reading slump?

I usually gravitate towards something written by Kristen Ashley or try the 'try a chapter' method to reignite my enthusiasm for reading.


Favourite genre?

Young Adult (YA)


Least favourite genre?

Anything non-fiction really. Autobiographies etc.


How many bookshelves do you currently own?

Currently only one that is double stacked. All of my books went into storage during a move and my Mum got rid of them all by accident so I'm currently trying to build my collection back up!


Goodreads challenge/reading goal for the year?

I really wanted to hit 75 this year but I haven't read anything for 3-4 weeks now so I'm falling behind on my goal.


Favourite characters?

Thomas Cresswell, from SJTR. Rowan Whitethorn from Throne of Glass. Travis Maddox from Beautiful Disaster. Tex & Indy Savage from Rock Chick.


Least favourite characters?

Hardin from After. Sophie from School for Good and Evil.


How many books have you read so far this year?

60, give or take.


Favourite book turned movie?

Harry Potter and The Kissing Booth.


Least favourite book turned movie?

After.

Do you want to be an author or are you content to just be a reader?

I love reading but my life goal is to finish a book and have it published. I always stop and start with writing, life gets in the way a lot and it takes a back seat but I would definitely love to become an author one day.


Book(s) that made you cry?

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas.


A book/writing related job that you would love to do?

Editing!


Do you consider yourself a fast reader?

Yes, but I don't know whether that is a good thing or not.


Do you have book buying bans for yourself?

I don't like to have that sort of negativity in my life, so no (haha)!


Do you use bookmarks a lot?

If scraps of paper, receipts, bobbles etc class as bookmarks then yes!
