5, 2, 26, 51, 16 for the book meme!
2. Your first favorite book?
Jinx by Meg Cabot and Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen! I think I read them about at the same time, and they both are long time favs of mine. Jinx is all about embracing who you are, even if it’s a scary part of you, and AFTR is about embracing the unexpected, and all of life’s perfect imperfections.
5. Least favorite book of all time?
This is hard, fuck. But honestly, probably Vendetta by Catherine Doyle. (I’m not gonna link it bc the book was shit). When I say this book made me want to scream of boredom, I mean it. I cared more about the protag’s best friend than the protag, and it’s one of the few books I never finished.
16. Least favorite genre?
Honestly? Probably historical fiction, or anything that is set before like… the 1990s at the very least. There’s very few exceptions, and that’s cross-genre novels like Duels & Deception and Love, Lies & Spies (both written by the same author), which are more on the YA side than the historical boringness side. It’s just not my thing.
I think you mean favorite quotes!! “Freedom doesn’t come with age. It doesn’t magically appear when you’re a legal adult. It comes when you stand up for what you believe in.” & “You have to see the miracles for there to be miracles.” & “’You could rattle the stars’, she whispered. You could do anything, if only you dared.” & “We accept the love we think we deserve” & “I am large; I contain multitudes” & “It’s not always easy being her daughter.’ / ‘I think,’ she said, ‘sometimes it’s hard no matter whose daughter you are.” & “People will always try to scare you into things. Scare you away from things. Scare you into not wanting things you can’t help wanting. You can’t be afraid.” & “I want to change things on my own terms, to show that there’s no right or wrong way to change the world. There’s no entry test. You don’t need to suck anything up. Pay any dues. Just you and your anger and your voice is enough. If you only have the courage to use it.” & “You can’t worry so much about the future. It’s coming, it’s gonna happen, and it’ll be beautiful and terrible but everything will be OK.” and honestly I could keep going and going and going.
51. Book/s that made you scared?
This Is Where It Ends had my ass clenched the entire time I was reading it, it was such an emotional rollercoaster. Not so much horror, so much as it was horrific. I was scared for the characters in it the entire time. Also The Dead List gave me the spooks, even if it was kind of cheesy at times. Also, The Merciless was also super spooky!
