i was tagged by @shadowtearling. thank you! x (finally got to it haha)

1. What’s your Most Anticipated Read of 2019? king of scars! (also the only thing i’m anticipating haha) i’m in the middle of reading it right now

2. Who’s your favorite Disney animated character? (Can include Pixar) mulan! i love her she’s great, and the scene where she figures out how to climb the pole with the weights attached to her arms will forever be iconic

3. Do you play Super Smash Bros? Who’s your fighter? (Or Mario Kart? Who’s your racer? OR if neither, your favorite video game as of late?) i’m generally always kirby in super smash bros! i find it easiest haha, and in mario kart i usually play as botw link!

4. What’s your favorite aspect of a book cover? colours maybe? and i don’t really like when covers have faces on them or just ordinary pictures of a person, i prefer art

5. What are your three favorite books/series of all time? (Which one would you Burn, Reread, and Rewrite?) ooh tough question, i have a lot of favourite books/series but i’ll go with the ones that first popped into my head: six of crows (burn, but i am NOT happy about it) the raven cycle (rewrite - a few things in trk bugged me so i’d change that) a series of unfortunate events (read - it’s got so many mysteries i wished i knew the answers to, but it’s because of those mysteries that i can still rant about the series today)

6. What book do you want to be turned into a graphic novel and why? hm, i’ve only recently started getting into comics/graphic novels, off the top of my head i think a graphic novel based on the night circus would be cool!

7. Who’s your least favorite character? apart from, like, genocidal maniacs, one character that really irks me and that i want to punch every time he comes up is mr poe from asoue

8. What book/series do you NOT want adapted into a show/movie? i’ve gotten to the point where i’ve just accepted the adaptation will never be how i imagined the books so i’m pretty chill with them now! either i never watch them, or i do and just try not to care about it much ‘^^

9. Can you read backwards?  yeah, pretty easily! can’t remember how i learned to do it, but the earliest i can remember doing it is when i was reading the penultimate peril by lemony snicket and it had random sentences backward (i would’ve been younger than 10?) and then getting bored of that and holding it up to mirrors instead haha

10. Spill the salt! Rant about the last book you really hated. hm, i haven’t read a book i’ve really hated in a while! because i haven’t been reading much in the first place ‘^^

11. Who’s your favorite author that you don’t care about? (To explain, it’s really easy nowadays to get updates from authors we love thanks to social media. Which author do you love but don’t care to follow and stay up to date with book news?) i actually don’t really follow any authors on social media, except for steifvater for some reason haha

@shadowtearling I legitimately had a moment last night where I was filled with drive and motivation to finish and publish Hawthorn Throne specifically so you can read it and made edits/review posts about it so. Do with that what you will.

Did you read a book with an event that closely related to you IRL?

It’s a stretch for the books this year but Katsa’s attitude towards marriage and reproduction, defying people into never marrying or having kids is something I constantly have to fight people on. Even though Katsa isn’t Ace like me but the struggle is real.

25 Days of Booklr Day 17

I’m posting this early so I can log off tomorrow to protest tumblr’s stupidity

What was an anticipated read that did not disappoint?

I mean I anticipated it but not only did it not disappoint but it exceeded expectations! I am always nervous for when a fat girl is the lead character and I worry if they will be portrayed well but I related sooooo hard with her in this book just well done Albertalli!
