Tag the person who tagged you so he/she can see your answers.

1. Is there a book you regret reading?

~Toy Cemetery by William W. Johnstone. I usually try not to go any further than constructive criticism, but honestly, this one was just. so. bad.

2. What is your favourite book series?

~I haven't read a series in a while, but I've always loved A Series of Unfortunate Events

3. Do you prefer reading in a quiet room or with music?

~Quiet usually, but if there are a lot of distracting noises around I would rather listen to music. 

4. Do you mark your pages for quotes you like?

~Sometimes. If I do it's usually with sticky note tabs because I'm not really a big fan of writing in books.

5. Have you lent books to friends and found it to be ruined?

~One of my friends borrowed my copy of Thirteen Reasons Why and when I got it back the binding was broken, so a chunk of pages fell out. I kinda super glued it back in place, but I was pissed.

6. What is your favourite childhood book?

~I really loved all of the Junie B. Jones books and the Spiderwick books.

7. Is there a book to movie/tv show adaptation you like? 

~Orange is the New Black. The book and movie are so completely different because the book is a memoir and it's very factual and you can tell Piper Kerman really wanted to advocate about the women's prison system, but the show is just so funny and it can be really sweet sometimes. I enjoyed both so, yeah.

8. What book ending do you wish you could change?

~Paper Towns

9. What is the most expensive book you own?

~Probably my yearbook. That was stupidly expensive and I kind of regret getting one.

10. Who is your book boyfriend/girlfriend?

~Cath from Fangirl. Easiest question ever. Cath.

11. What book do you wish you could read right now?

Dorothy Must Die. I saw it in the store the other day and really wanted to buy it, but I didn't have any money on me and now I just completely crave that book.

I've been tagged:

I was tagged by abookislife Thank you! :) 

What are you currently reading?

I am currently reading Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore and I don't know anything about it. Going in to it blind is quite refreshing! 

What do you think of it so far?

I am only a chapter in. I don't know too much yet but I think I am gonna like it. 

What’s the most interesting thing that happened to you today?

It's Sunday. So it's a lazy day for me and so nothing interesting has happened :) (yet)

What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?

I am literally the most cringy person ever. I make bad puns and awful jokes and I dance like a grandma at a wedding. There is so much. One that always stands out is when I was 12 I walked in to a set of glass doors at the local town hall. I was out cold for a few mins. I couldn't have gone through the door with any more force. The place was full as well so everyone got a good laugh. 

If you could go back through your life and change one thing, what would it be?

I try not to live by regrets. But I always wish that I tried harder with thing and never doubted my ability to make decisions. I just wish I had more faith in myself. I also worry look a mother with too much offspring so I would like to tone that down as well. 

If you won the lottery, what would you buy?

I would make sure close family is financially stable, put loads in to a savings account and then I would buy a house in the city centre where I live and just have a shit ton of friends over for food and films. I would also buy my Amazon wishlists. 

If you could meet and befriend one celebrity, who would you pick?

Jennifer Lawrence. I know quite a few may have picked this but she seems like the kind of person I can eat a shite tonne of food with and have a netflix binge with. 

Do you have any siblings? If yes, do you get on with them?

I have one brother (he is 21 in October) we were awful when we were kids and we used to beat the shite out of each other. Now we get on very well. He even made me pancakes yesterday :3

Are you at/have you been to/do you want to go to university? Where?

Long story short, I went to The University of Sheffield last year and I absolutely hated it. To this day I can't tell you why. It just didn't feel right. I am going back to another university in my city (Sheffield Hallam) and I canny wait this time round. 

What’s something you’re really proud of?

If you would have asked me this a year ago, I would have said grades. Now I can say that they don't mean as much to me as they did. I am just of proud of some of the decisions I have made in the past year. I made some tough choices and I have stuck to them and I would do it all again twice. 

If you could ask one person of your choosing a question and they would have to answer the truth, who and what would you ask?

I know this is general, but I would ask people who have committed vile things "why?" the fact that peole can be so evil and twisted fascinates and scares me a bit.
