I was tagged by the fabulous Imber
If I tag you, it’s because we’ve talked, so if you don’t read, feel free not to do the thing, okie dokie?
1. Favourite childhood book(s)
Well of course the entire Harry Potter series. But also The Phantom Tollbooth, and The Chronicles of Narnia holds a very special place in my heart.
2. Why did you start reading?
when I was about 6, my mom read A Little Princess by Francis Hodgson Burnett out loud to me. My parents never liked reading me those teach you to read books, so they read me proper books from a very young age, and I think that's how I got started reading.
3. Which book made you realise you loved reading?
Ooh that's such a hard question! There have been so many over the years. But when I was little I got really into all the books by Sharon Creech, and those really got me into reading.
4.What is your preferred genre?
I prefer realistic fiction to most other things.
John Green, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kurt Vonnegut.
6. Where do you like to read?
My room or the Half Price Books close to my house.
7. First full series of books you read?
Oh gosh that's tough. I think the Secrets of Droon?
8. Have you always finished books, if not, which ones?
I usually try, but there have been a few. I got 3/4 of the way through Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke and I still wasn't into, so I just stopped. I also got too scared of Inkheart.
9. Do you own books you’ve never read?
Tooooooo many. But I'm working on it!
10. Do you enjoy the books you’re assigned at school?
It really depends. I've loved some, like Heart of Darkness and Jane Eyre, but hated others, like The Scarlet Letter.
I find I usually don't focus as well when I listen to music even though I like to.
12. What are you reading at the moment or what are you going to read?
This is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
The Harry Potter series, of course
Paper Towns by John Green
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I'm tagging Rita, Doe, Phillip, Whitney, and Amanda!
