Every time I see your url the shark from Finding Nemo pops into my head saying 'books are friends, not food' and I have a little giggle to myself.

That’s where I got the inspiration for my URL, actually. I was watching Finding Nemo when I created this blog.

My Questions

1) Do you have a favourite book series?

Harry potter. Always.

2) Is there a book that you were pleasantly surprised by?

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

It was a requirement of a class and i was put off by studying it but it will be on my bookshelf for the rest of my life, the author died this year which is a shame because i would've loved to meet him and thank him for writing it

3) Is there a particular book that reminds you of your childhood?

this is going to sound strange but Prey by Michael Crichton

i had to have read that book a million times as a kid, i loved horror stories and it never failed to give me shivers even after multiple reads

4) Do you prefer paperback books, hardback books, or ebooks?

hardbacks tbh but a book being paperback, hardback, or ebook would never affect my decision to buy it, that's just up to the book

5) What is your favourite genre of book?

historical fiction

6) Is there a book that everyone else seemed to like, but you disliked?

divergent sorry it's not that i disliked it so much as i though the society was more interesting than the main character or her story, i think it would've been a more interesting story if you got to read about the different lives of kids in each faction but i guess that's what fan fiction is for

7) How many books do you own? (on average, I won’t make you count!)

with me right now or in storage?

right now: 27

in storage: upwards of 100

8) Favourite place to read?

doesn't matter and it varies, sometimes i want to read where there's a lot of activity going on around me, sometimes i want to read at the kitchen table, and sometimes i want to read in bed

9) Are you a fan of classics, or more modern works?

modern although there are a few classic that hold my heart

10) New books or second hand?

new

11) Favourite book Hero/Heroine?

a tie between Hermonie Granger and Elizabeth Bennett, they both taught me different things

Lingerie is always fun! You blessed your friends with fun!
