ghostxbiscuit replied to your post : My tumblr queue is currently 40% Stargate. Those...

I can hardly wait! Those posts are usually the highlight of my dash! :D

Yes, I’ve noticed. XD I’m glad though!

And I’m happy to have a big long show to watch after my DW love has waned. (Though not disappeared completely. I’ve been rambling about DWEU stuff at a work-friend lately. He’s seen the entire TV show, but hasn’t delved too much into the EU. Except for some Six audios, which is a great place to start.)

Especially as the SG canon is BIT more overcomeable than DW. (I have all the shows, comics, and audios of SG already. And I’m way over halfway in absorbing it all.) So like, it’s massive and long-time entertainment, but it’s still a realistic goal.

Oh, you asked for it! Ned the Piemaker or Thranduil! :p

THAT is so mean D: As much as I love and adore Thranduil I think I have to go with Ned on that one because… you know… it’s sweet Ned <3

Book question thingy: 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 18, 27, 32, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 59, 62, 64, 65 Thank you :D

lol omg so many. IMA TAKE YOUR CHALLENGE AND RAISE YOU ONE

What/who got you into reading?

Honestly, I”m not sure, but I think it really began in grade three. I hated reading in grade two because I was always so nervous to read out loud and fuck up words and stuff and I remember trying to avoid it. I felt that I didn’t know how to read I guess. But in grade three our teacher would read us stuff like Hiedi, Black Beauty, etc during afternoons in class and I remember going to the library and getting them for myself to read. This was also the time that I discovered Wishbone (the TV show about the dog that could go into books) and it seemed so exciting so I started getting all these wishbone books to read for myself and it kinda went from there

2. Your current favourite book?

Hmmmm. That’s really tough. But either Prisoner of Azkaban or Return of the King. Those are two very stock answers though. Something that’s a little more current would be difficult to ascertain since I only just got back into reading now after like six months off earlier this year (yay depression)

5. Least favourite book of all time?

Honestly? The Outsiders. I hated reading it and thought it was SO BORING. I remember having to do all this book report stuff on it in grade 8 for English and I hated every second and I handed it in all obscenely late.

6. What book/s can you not live with out?

Hm, probably LOTR or The Secret Garden. The latter cus it’s just such a happy book (even though it’s about a very sad character (though she learns happiness). I dunno man, don’t judge me haha. I just love Dickon so much mmkay).

10. What popular book do you just hate?

I don’t hate that many books to be honest. But the aforementioned OUtsiders is a good place to start. I’d prolly like it now though if I reread it.

11. How many books to you read in a month?

I used to read 50-60 books in a year. But this year I read like 0 for the first six months. It was so weird.

15. Favourite genre?

Fantasy <3

18. How many books do you own?

OMG i seriously have NO IDEA. SOOOO MANY. Too many. Over 500, i’m sure. One day i’ll count

27. Favourite character/s?

Hermione so so much (seriously I’d love to know more about how muggles navigated the wizarding world, like weren’t her parents worried that she wasn’t taking maths or a language or a science??), book Ginny, Daine (Wild Magic series), Anne Shirley, Lucy Pevensie.. I could go on..

32. Do you read Fanfiction?

I used to, especially in high school. But I just don’t have the time anymore for it. WHich is sad cus there seems to be a lot of good stuff out there. I love reading au’s which technically count I guess.

38. Are any of your friends readers?

It’s almost a requirement if you want to be my friend XD

40. Favourite book turned movie?

There aren’t many to be honest.. Either ROTK (ok so the entire LOTR trilogy extended edition. it’s all one movie in my opinion) or POA

43. Do you like ebooks?

Not really. I find it hard on my eyes. I do like it when there’s cheaper versions for school books though

45. Paperback or Hardback?

Hardback is better longevity wise, but it is cheaper for paper back and it’s not as heavy

47. Do you want to be an Author or are you content to just be a reader?

I’ve toyed with the idea of turning my thesis into a historical fiction novel since i think it’s really interesting, but I doubt it. i just don’t think I’m creative enough

59. Do you want more books?

Is this seriously a question? Yes, haha. SHould I get more? No. Will I? Yes.

62. Do you have book buying bans for yourself?

I try to do it, but I fail every time. Seriously.

64. What else do you get besides books at a bookstore?

Bookmarks, birthday cards, trinkets, etc.

65. Do you use bookmarks a lot?

I say I will.. but then I either remember which chapter/page I was on or just use whatever’s laying around as a bookmark

Book question thingy: 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15, 18, 27, 32, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 59, 62, 64, 65 Thank you :D I hope it works this time, it wouldn't sent earlier

Hoooly, that’s almost everything xD just kidding. But your ask is my command my dear ♥1) What/who got you into reading?I got into reading as a toddler bc my parents and grandparents even more so used to read all kinds of books to me. I think I was able to read before I entered primary school :)3) Your current favorite book?That has to be the Peter Grant series by Ben Aaronovitch, I’m currently waiting for the newest book of the series.5) Least favorite book of all time?Griffin Mage by Rachel Neumeier, I didn’t even read 100 pages and I had to put it down. It was maybe the translation from English to German but either way I couldn’t get into it because of the writing style.6) What book/s can you not live with out?Everything Tolkien, but especially The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Silmarillion. Also the Harry Potter series.10) What popular book do you just hate?50 Shades of Grey. I haven’t read it, only excerpts but I think everyone understands my aversion towards this book, at least on tumblr.11) How many books to you read in a month?I’ve posted something about me a few months ago, where it says: “I either finish a book and have the next one propped over and ready to go or I wait 27 years and two wars before I start the next one. There is no in between.” Which is mostly accurate but I try to read a book per month.15) Favorite genre?No matter how many other good genres I might read, fantasy will always be my drug. Always.18) How many books do you own?I…. honestly don’t know… over 100? Yes, at least over a 100 books.27) Favorite character/s?Oh god, do I really have to do this? :D I mean, does it mean all my fav. characters, or character… types in general? I’ll just list my all time favourite characters out of the books i enjoyed reading the most :)The Silmarillion: …all the elves… obviously. Maedhros, Fingon and Luthien being at top of the list tbhLotR: Eowyn, Legolas, Sam, Aragorn, Elrond..... too manyHarry Potter: Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Ron Weasly, Snape, Malfoy FamilyPeter Grant Series: Thomas Nightingale, Peter Grant, Beverly BrooksGoT series: Daenerys Targaryen, Margaery Tyrell, Sansa Stark, Arya Stark, Tyrion Lannister, Jamie Lannister… there are too many.Hunger Games: Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen, Buttercup, Caesar Flickerman32) Do you read Fanfiction?I used to read more fanfiction than I do now. It has to be a really, really good fanfiction to keep me going tbh plus I really need to be into the fandom it’s about. But usually I don’t like reading on my computer screen so I almost entirely stopped reading fanfiction :(38) Are any of your friends readers?I think almost all of my friends are readers… can’t think of one who doesn’t read tbh. I might be biased and get along better with ppl who read because I usually feel that we’re on the same page with our interests in general… no pun intended.40) Favorite book turned movie?http://queenlavellans.tumblr.com/post/127643706667/ohpippin-finishes-lotr-marathon-haha-how43) Do you like ebooks?No, not really, I need a real book in my hands. As I stated previously I hate reading on a computer screen and I think that extends to ebook readers… but I’m also biased because I just love books in their true form, I’ve never touched an ebook reader :D

45) Paperback or Hardback?Had you asked me a few years back I’d always have answered with Hardback. Nowadays I’m not so sure. It depends on the book format like size, or how heavy it is. I also mostly research every edition there is for a book and then decide which I like best and if it’s a trilogy or series if I can get them all in the same format. There are seriously beautiful paperbacks out there and I’m prone to buy things again if I like the design of a book, even if I own it already. So I can’t decide between those two. Hardbacks always look more elegant, though.47) Do you want to be an Author or are you content to just be a reader?Oh boy, I want to be an Author so badly, it hurts. Sadly, I completely suck at writing, although I do have ideas and everything. And due to my depression I often lack creativity or the motivation to start or continue my works. I’m usually content to be just a reader but there are times where I want to share my ideas with the world so badly…59) Do you want more books?All I need are books!62) Do you have book buying bans for yourself?Indeed I do uwu Because I tend to buy books even though I’ve got 20 unread at home.64) What else do you get besides books at a bookstore?Actually only books. 65) Do you use bookmarks a lot?Yesss, I think I’ve got over 20 or so. I love bookmarks.

The stereotype thing. Do you like cheese, do you like wine? Is it true that traffic in larger cities in France is about as insane as in Italy?

CHEESE YES WINE YES

I don’t know about traffic in Italy, but it’s true that we can have insane traffic even in small cities ... and of course on the highways during holidays..

thanks ! :3
