Question Meme

I was tagged by 42books​. Thanks! :)

Why did you choose your URL?

I think me and my friend just sort of googled for bookish name ideas when we first made this blog because we couldn't really think of any. It came down between folding-corners and a-crease-in-the-spine but we chose this one because the other one was just super long.

What is your middle name?

My full first name is Sarah-Louise Anna.

If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?

Right now I can only think of Mogget, the magic, sort of actually demon-like cat from Sabriel. Thinking of it, a Niffler would be sort of cool, too, though...

Favorite color?

Dark blue I think, or blue in general. I also really like pink, though.

Favorite song?

I'm not sure wether I have a favourite song, but I can tell you my favourite artist, who is Leonard Cohen.

What are your top three fandoms?

I think I've sort of grown out of fandoms a little. Like, I'm still a fan of stuff but I don't read all that much fanfiction anymore or get involved with other people of the fandom because idk, it's just sort of a hassle. I can't really explain it. I'm still very, very much into Harry Potter and Star Trek TOS and maybe also Sherlock, though.

Why do you enjoy tumblr?

Because it's just such an awesome way to pass your time and you can sort of decide what you want to see on your dash so you can sort of make sure you're always having a good time, looking at and showing other people the stuff you like/care about. It's also pretty much the only place where I can just leave huge feminist rants without people hating me for it and well, it's just in general a place in which I feel very accepted and it has a lot of great people in it.

I'll just tag the first five people on my dash, aswell: bookdrunkinlove / bookishmadness / books-and-cookies / outofyourreadingmind / library-heaven have fun! :)

oolalamustachioed said: The Bones of Paris by Laurie King is excellent! Or, for something different and just plain fun, Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan!

godricthedorless said: Something you’ve never heard of in a section you know you like.

42books said: American Gods by Neil Gaiman!!

Hilariously, I've actually read/own most of these already. I'll totally take a look at Bones of Paris, thanks oolalamustachioed.

But I think the winner of this 'challenge' is totally godricthedorless for the peerless suggestions. :D

Thanks guys!

You should read Fforde's Thursday Next series. It's so perfect!

It's definitely on my list! But atm I'm trying to avoid getting involved in any too-big series. 

I'm thinking it'll be more of a summer break thing for me :D
