So my exams finished last Wednesday, and I was all whoa when I realized I also reached 400 followers! I would have posted this sooner, but then the whole Tumblr uploading thing went whack. And I couldn't wait anymore, so here I go. 

For some special people:

mybooktopia-Girl, I suck at remembering stuff, but I think we've been friends for as long as I've been on this site. And I'm never going to forget that time when we had a misunderstanding which led to you spamming my inbox; I was amused for days. Have you watched Veronica Mars yet?

girlthatreads-We connected over If I Stay, and I haven't talked to you at lately, but I remember how easy it was to talk to you. I'm going to watch the movie someday and spam you with my feels. 

itsonceuponabook-I think I talk to you the most these days, and it's been great. Thank you for listening to some of my bad days, and you're a cutie. 

hipstersbook-WE ARE MEETING IN REAL LIFE. And this time, I will hopefully not be forgetful. >.<

readaroundtherosie-I am so jealous of your UK version of My True Love Gave to Me, and I both hate you and love you so much for getting me to read Corruption. But I'm still not going to finish it any time soon. 

tilly-and-her-books-Your bookshelves are the best and you're a total sweetheart and thank you so much for being so nice to me!

bluestockingbookworm-You know the drill: HAVE YOU READ SPARK YET? But seriously your blog is amazing. 

rudysteined-I can't even remember why I love you, but I just know that I do. Fun fact: I'm forgetful. But I love you!

prongsargent-I wish you were more active because you're great. :D

the-manila-institute-Pinoy represent! I love all your edits and I can't wait until it's your summer so I get daily doses of your blog. 

And some more awesome people:

Book Blogger Test

I got tagged by thisisnotyourbookblog. Thank you!

What are my book pet hates?

The only one that comes to mind right now is when you buy a book and then when you get back home, you notice that that spine isn't that pretty or there's a creased page or there's the tiniest little fold on the cover. This annoys me to no end. 

Describe my perfect reading spot.

My bed, or in someplace quiet with a good chair where I can comfortably sit back. 

Tell us three book confessions.

I really care about matching covers. Or editions. 

I can't buy a lot of books, so when I do get the chance to go to a bookstore, I go on a major price-comparing mode. I consider everything from the price to the thickness to how much I want the book when I go buying because I usually have to eliminate. 

I can not make a quick trip to a bookstore. Even if I'm not buying anything, I'm going to look around. 

What is your favorite snack while you’re reading?

I don't really eat when I'm reading. *shrug*

Name three books you would recommend to everyone

Well, this is hard. So let me limit it to standalones. I pick Golden by Jessi Kirby, This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales, and Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. 

Show us a picture of your favorite bookshelf on your bookcase:

I'm lazy to take a pic so let me just link to a picture of my whole bookshelf. Because if I have to take picture of my favorite shelf, I would have to clear out the book stacks. Do I have a shelf that's too small? Yes. 

Write how much books mean to you in just three words:

Better than people. (Well, real life people. You people here are awesome.)

When was the last time you cried while reading a book?

This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales is about an introverted girl who struggles with making friends at school but she discovers deejaying. I can't begin to tell you how much I cried over passages that I just really related to, because Leila Sales captures that feeling of being depressed about your life in high school so well. 

What is your biggest reading secret?

I used to bend book spines. On purpose. But that was when I was a kid, though!

So I'm tagging mybooktopia, itsonceuponabook, girlthatreads, wordrevel, acrossmyfictionaluniverse, and a-bookish-heart!

[shanandwords]

is there a book you've read that you wish you didn't?

Allegiant! In fact, that's a whole series I wish I could unread because the whole series was just such a big waste of time if it was just going to end like that. I just really hated the plot of the last two books, and I hated Allegiant because it just destroyed what the first book established and then repackaged it.

rules. in a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. tag ten friends, including me, so i’ll see your list. make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

13, 19 and 34!

13. Are you good at hiding your feelings?

Well I think I am... But I suppose I'm a little biased. irisium? What do you think? 

19. If you could change your eye color, would you?

Totally! I mean I like my eyes, but I've always wanted bright green eyes. I think it probably came from when I read Septimus Heap a bajillion years ago and he had magical green eyes... Is that even true? Did I make it up? 

Barring that, purple khaleesi eyes are the dream. 

34. If you had to delete one year of your life completely, which would it be?

2010 probably. 

Feeling curious?
