While procrastinating on my responsibilities, an idea hit me that I want to do a fun reading challenge this year. I met my Goodreads goal in 2014 but I want to do something more fun than just read 100 books this year. I decided that I would pick a bunch of random categories and read a book from each one. But then I was like “How can I make this even more fun?” and I realized that I want to challenge/tag people in doing this. I’m going to list out 12 categories and if you’re tagged, you have to read a book from at least 8 of these categories this year. When you tag other people in this, you can keep my categories or tag them in your own new categories (I’m getting tired of saying ‘categories’).

A new adult book

An epic or high fantasy (Game of Thrones, Throne of Glass, Graceling… )

A graphic novel or manga

A book-to-movie that will be released in 2015

A book that doesn’t take place in your home country

A middle grade book that isn’t by Rick Riordan

Something that you’d normally be embarrassed to be seen reading

A book by Jennifer L. Armentrout

A book about a criminal

A sci-fi that’s not about aliens

A book that I pick for you (Let’s be honest. We all know that book is gonna be Throne of Glass.)

A book that everyone but you has read

Now go forth and tag/read

I tag:

Question time!

I was tagged by the awesome Wholocksarecool!  This is the first time I've been tagged in one of these things, so I'm excited.

Rule one: Always post the rules Rule two: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones Rule three: Tag 11 people and link them to the post Rule four: Actually tell them you tagged them

The questions I got are:

1. Would you rather write, produce, direct, or act in a movie?

Ooooh, this is a tough one.  If talent wasn't an issue, I'd love to act in a movie.  If we're talking about real life, where my acting talent is pretty much nil, then producing or directing would play much more to my strengths.  I like to control things ;)

2. Congratulations, you can spend the day with any person you want, living or dead! Who do you choose and what will you do?

Oh man, my initial thought was Benny, of course, because hnnnng.  But if I really did have the option of everyone, I'd actually probably go with someone from history- maybe Richard III.  Mainly I would just want to talk to them, find out about their lives.  I would love to know what actually happened to the princes in the tower.  Oh, or Josephine (Napoleon's wife), they were soooo fascinating.

3. If you could go back and change one thing that happened in your life, would you do it? Why?

I would change little things here and there, such as when I have stuck my foot in my mouth, etc.  But the big, painful things?  No, I wouldn't change those.  Every single thing that my heart thought it couldn't make it through has made me stronger and has eventually led to something much better.  I am who I am because of what has happened, and I'm pretty ok with that most of the time.

4. Can you describe your favourite colour without saying the name of the colour?\

The color of the ocean in the Caribbean, when it's all jewel-toned and sparkly

5. If you could pick any animal, what pet would you want?

I love my dogs so much, I can't imagine wanting anything else.  

6. Completely immersive virtual reality video games now exist. What game would you live in?

Since there are Harry Potter games, totally one of those.

7. If you were on a deserted island and had an infinite supply of only one food item for the rest of your life, what would you want it be?

Hmmm, my logical side says something nutritious like veggies or broccoli, but my food loving side says PIZZA (or chocolate chip cookies, but I think I would be too sad without milk)

8. What would you change about your favourite TV show to make it better?

More than 3 episodes every two years!!!!!!!!!

9. Lifeforms from another planet have come to Earth. Quick, what is your first gut reaction?

Why is that little girl carrying a quantum physics book?

But really, I'd probably be really freaked out. That's a huuuuuge change to our world and our perceived place in it that it would be really scary.

10. If you could go anywhere in time and space to witness one event (without altering anything that happens in the flow of space-time), what would you want to see?

Oh man, if I can't alter it, I wouldn't want to see anything sad, such as the princes in the towers, etc.  I'd want to see something happy- maybe Napoleon's coronation, or the wedding of Queen Victoria.

11. An owl finally appeared at your front door with your Hogwarts letter, albeit a little late. What house do you think you will be sorted into?

No question- Ravenclaw.  I have always valued learning, value, and intelligence above all other traits.  I'd also be happy with Hufflepuff, because I'd like to think that I'm loyal and hardworking, but I'm basically the opposite of a finder. I lose everything.

OK time for the next 11 questions:

1. If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?

2. What story does your friends or family always tell about you?

3. If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?

4. If you had to give up one of your fandoms, which would it be and why?

5. If you could have any eye color/hair color combination that you wanted, what would it be?

6. If you were stuck in a place for the rest of your life and could only bring one book with you, what would it be?

7. If you had to choose between time travel and space travel, which would you choose?

8. (omg it's hard coming up with 11 random questions totally cheating and googling)  If you could dis-invent one thing, what would it be?

9. What language would you like to master?

10. If you were in a witness protection program, what would be your alias?

11. What is the most inspiring movie you have ever seen?
