The Ultimate Book Reading Tag

 Do you get sick while reading in the car?
Not really. I love to read in the car especially on long journeys.
 
Which author’s writing style is completely unique to you and why?
Gayle Forman. I love her books, she puts so much passion into the books and I love the plots.
 
 Harry Potter Series or the Twilight Saga? Give 3 points to defend your answer.
The Twilight Saga. 1.Stephenie Meyer does a great job of writing in my opinion, the books have great imagination entwined in the book.
 
2.The books weren't like happily ever after it showed a realistic sense of a love triangle (if you forget about the whole werewolf/vampire deal for a minute). And also of a relationship and the struggles of being with someone (again if you forget the fact his is a vampire).
 
3.The books were actually good, millions watched and read what Stephenie wrote no matter how much people complain a lot of us were obsessed.
 
Do you carry a book bag? If so, what is it in (besides books…)?
I don't really have a book bag...I think. I always carry a book in my bag no matter where I am going
 
Do you smell your books?
Yes I do
 
 Books with or without little illustrations?
 
Either I would say. I don't mind little illustrations or when there isn't any.
 
What book did you love while reading but discovered later it wasn’t quality writing?
Paper Towns by John Green. It's was good writing but I have to say after reading The Fault In Our Stars I was expecting a little more from Paper Towns but I felt the magic wasn't entirely their and the ending didn't please me, I felt disappointed at the ending.
 
Do you have any funny stories involving books from your childhood? Please share!
I didn't have a childhood evolving around books as I had to teach myself to read at eight. But I remember my nan gave me a murder mystery by Peter James when I was 10-13. I loved the book... my mum wasn't too thrilled.
 
What is the thinnest book on your shelf?
Saving Private Ryan By Max Allan Collins.
 
 What is the thickest book on your shelf?
The Host By Stephenie Meyer.
 
Do you write as well as read? Do you see yourself in the future as being an author?
I have started trying to write. I don't see a future me being an author really.
 
When did you get into reading?
When I was eight I watched Matilda and that inspired me so much. I yearned to read like Matilda did.
 
What is your favourite classic book?
Jayne Eyre By Charlotte Bronte. It was the first book I had properly read and I felt so proud of myself for completing the book. I loved the story and still have a soft spot for the book.
 
In school was your best subject Language Arts/English?
I don't really remember my best subject as I left school to be homeschooled when I was 8. I went to college a college for music for a year and a half. When I was there some of the student had to do a GCSE in English Language I fell in love with English Language.
 
If you were given a book as a present that you had read before and hated…what would you do?
My nan did this a lot she would buy me books I wouldn't like. I always said thank you and kept the book for a while, if I haven't read the book after a period of time it would go.
 
 What is a lesser known series that you know of that is similar to Harry Potter or the Hunger Games?
It may sound crazy but for HP I would say the Gallagher Girls Series By Ally Carter. The HP kids have a detective sense to them like the GGS. They are both set in an elite school. They both have groups not just Harry but Hermione and Ron and the same goes for the Gallagher Girls.
 
What is a bad habit you always do
Hmmm... A bad habit of mine would be book buying. Buy books then keep buying books then have a stack of books to read then I read them all then back round....vicious cycle.
 
What is your favourite word?
I like the word eccentric a lot.
 
Vampires or Fairies? Why?
Both I couldn't pick one or the other so yep both. I love vampires because they make one hell of a love story and fairies can make a brilliant tale and brings magic.
 
Shapeshifters or Angels? Why?
ANGELS!! I love angels so much and love a good angel story.
 
Spirits or Werewolves? Why?
I love wolves so much so no doubt it's werewolves for me.
 
Zombies or Vampires?
Vampires, not a big fan of the whole zombie thing.
 
Love Triangle or Forbidden Love?
Forbidden love. I like the forbidden love route so much more, there is more possibility's with forbidden love. Love triangles can get exhausting for me.
 
AND FINALLY: Full on romance books or action-packed with a few love scenes mixed in?
It would be both for me. I like action packed with a little romance thrown in and love a mushy full on romance book. I think it depends on what sort of book I want to read at the time.
