Hello there! I came across this on my Tumblr from years ago (2012, I believe). So, I thought I would re-do it here.
1. Favorite childhood book?
Sideway Stories From Wayside School by Louis Sachar.
2. What are you reading right now?
That is my Now Reading Stack. And let's see....
My writing prompt journal, ignore that. That is for writing, not reading.
The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I'm finally to the point where Lestat becomes a vampire.
Radium Girls by Kate Moore. This one was recommended by my kiddo. Not too far into it, but it's interesting so far. Five stars for the descriptioins of the girls.
The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan. Artemis just showed up! Yay!
Single White Vampire by Lynsay Sands. Love this series. Love Lynsay Sands.
Kong: Skull Island by Tim Lebron. 1 Star on descriptions, bro.
Shards of Alderaan by Rebecca Moesta and Kevin J. Anderson. Boba Fett is in this one.
Weird and Unusual Trivia. It's okay.
Old Kindle full of fan-fiction.
Tablet for reading new fan-fictions.
Bottling It (A Wayfair Witches' Cozy Mystery) by A.A. Albright on the Kindle Fire. Pretty fun read so far.
3. What books do you have on request at the library?
None
4. Bad book habit?
Getting distracted by fan-fiction and forgetting I'm reading actual books...
5. What do you currently have checked out at the library?
Nothing.
6. Do you have an e-reader?
Yep. I actually have an old Kindle that I use just for fan-fiction. I download my favorites so I can re-read them all the time. And I have a Kindle Fire that I use just for the Kindle app.
7. Do you prefer to read one book at a time, or several at once?
I used to be firmly a one book at a time reader. But... Now I read several at once. It actually works really well for me. Well... Maybe not really well. It works okay-ish for me. It's nice because if I am reading something that is a darker read and it gets to me, I'll read a bit on something with a lighter tone instead of just avoiding the first book or giving up on it.
8. Have your reading habits changed since starting a blog?
Not really.
9. Least favorite book you read this year (so far?)
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It was boring. So boring. Ugh. Boring!
10. Favorite book you’ve read this year?
Ummm... I can't choose. I read two Percy Jackson books that I love. And Good Omens which is such a great book. But, my favorite I've read so far this year that wasn't a re-read is probably Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper by J.L. Bryan.
11. How often do you read out of your comfort zone?
I'm not sure...
12. What is your reading comfort zone?
I... I don't think I have one?
13. Can you read on the bus?
I am capable. Pretty sure I get motion sickness when I do, though.
14. Favorite place to read?
Probably in my bed...
15. What is your policy on book lending?
I'll lend books to my closest friends, but no one else.
16. Do you ever dog-ear books?
I usually don't, but do so sometimes with books that I have that are already damaged.
17. Do you ever write in the margins of your books?
Nope.
18. Not even with text books?
No.
19. What is your favorite language to read in?
English. Because that is the only language I can read in...
20. What makes you love a book?
Interesting characters. Good writing.
21. What will inspire you to recommend a book?
If you express an interest in reading and give me five minutes, I'll recommend every book I've ever read and thought was half-way decent.
22. Favorite genre?
I'm not really sure. Maybe fantasy or paranormal romance. Gods, give me a fantasy paranormal romance with queer characters and I will swoon. Oh, maybe with a mystery in there?
23. Genre you rarely read (but wish you did?)
I need to read more non-fiction stuff that isn't true crime.
24. Favorite biography?
I don't think I have one...
25. Have you ever read a self-help book?
Not that I remember...
26. Favorite cookbook?
The TikTok Twink's book! I love him.
Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis for those that have no idea what I'm talking about.
27. Most inspirational book you’ve read this year (fiction or non-fiction)?
Ummm... The Lightning Thief. Percy Jackson inspires me to be sassier.
28. Favorite reading snack?
Chips and snack crackers, I suppose.
29. Name a case in which hype ruined your reading experience.
I can't think of any time this happened.
30. How often do you agree with critics about a book?
I don't really pay attention to critics opinions about anything...
31. How do you feel about giving bad/negative reviews?
I don't like to do it. There is enough negativity on the internet and I don't like to add to it. If I dislike something I will bitch to my friends, but I won't focus on it online. Also, just because I didn't like something, doesn't mean it's bad. It just wasn't for me. And that's fine. Not everything is for me.
32. If you could read in a foreign language, which language would you choose?
Korean. But not so I could read books in Korean. Mostly so I could read the captions on K-Pop related videos on YouTube. And help Ryan practice his Korean.
33. Most intimidating book you’ve ever read?
Umm... I dunno... Uh... The Stand?
34. Most intimidating book you’re too nervous to begin?
Can't think of a single one.
35. Favorite Poet?
Lee Know from Stray Kids. That poem he wrote about potatoes was beautiful...
36. How many books do you usually have checked out of the library at any given time?
Uh. Now... none... I should really start going to the library again...
37. How often have you returned book to the library unread?
Fairly often.
38. Favorite fictional character?
Oh my gods... There are so many... umm... Let's see... I am going to say Nico di Angelo.
39. Favorite fictional villain?
*stares at my bookshelves for two days* Percy's Grandpa.
40. Books you’re most likely to bring on vacation?
I'd just take my Kindles. Got a whole shit load of books to choose from on one, and all my favorite fan-fiction on the other. Easier than carrying a stack of books.
41. The longest you’ve gone without reading.
Too long.
42. Name a book that you could/would not finish.
Most recently I gave up on finishing a book about Albert Fish. I tried, but after awhile I just couldn't deal with it anymore.
43. What distracts you easily when you’re reading?
People...
44. Favorite film adaptation of a novel?
Winnie the Pooh.
45. Most disappointing film adaptation?
Percy Jackson movies. Like... Ugh. No. The show is fantastic though. Totally recommend that shit. Ignore the movies though.
46. The most money I’ve ever spent in the bookstore at one time?
Like 100 bucks. Back when I got gift cards for Barnes and Noble for holidays.
47. How often do you skim a book before reading it?
Umm... Never. I will read the book blurbs most of the time, but I won't, like, open it up and skim through the pages.
48. What would cause you to stop reading a book half-way through?
I assume you mean stop reading it completely, because I will stop reading books to set them aside and read later because I'm not in the right headspace for it at the time. But... To completely stop reading, various things.
49. Do you like to keep your books organized?
Sadly, I don't have enough space to keep my books very organized. But gods do I want to organize them...
50. Do you prefer to keep books or give them away once you’ve read them?
Depends. If I liked it enough that I can see myself reading it again, then I'll keep it. Otherwise I'll give them away.
51. Are there any books you’ve been avoiding?
One of the Trials of Apollo books. I know what happens and I don't like what happens.
52. Name a book that made you angry.
Night Stalker or whatever by some guy. That book about Richard Ramirez. Fuck that book.
53. A book you didn’t expect to like but did?
I honestly can't think of one.
54. A book that you expected to like but didn’t?
Again, can't think of one.
55. Favorite guilt-free, pleasure reading?
Fan-fiction!
