Facts About Me:
My favorite things in life are books, cats, music, and the great outdoors.
Speaking of great outdoors, I grew up on a farm so I may be a little biased in that direction. It also allows you to be able to have over 20 cats without being a crazy cat lady.
When I am an old lady, I want to adopt as many cats as possible because after volunteering at humane societies, I feel so bad for the poor kitties that are stuck in cages all day. So cross out what I said in #2, I guess I do want to be a crazy cat lady.
I love to write. I write all the time. I hardly write any of my stories down, but I am constantly writing something at all times in my head.
I'm in college right now majoring in history because I want to become a history teacher. I want to inspire the learning and love of history in more people since it is something important to our culture and who we are and the general response about history is "Ugh...history."
Self-identified Ravenclaw. Pottermore-identified Slytherin. Not really sure how this happened.
Someday I want to have a giant library. I am in the process of collecting as many books as I can. I want a room that has books lining the walls as my fortress of solitude.
I am a proud Christian. It is my identity, and I find solace in it.
I also believe that everyone should be equal. God created everyone in his image, and he loves each and every one. Therefore we should love everyone we see. No hatred based on race, or sexual orientation, or anything. Love your neighbor.
Even though I have books in my title, I don't very often post about books. I'm sorry. I just reblog stuff that I like or makes me laugh.
I love TV and movies more than I should...
books-gloriousbooks's questions:
What fictional universe do you NOT want to visit? I would have to say the world from The Giver. It would be hard to live in a world without color or emotions or any of the other things they don't have. I love the book, but think about a world like that is sad.
What is an attribute in a character that makes them irredeemable? Acting like a jerk. It doesn't make them appealing it at all. It makes me just want to punch them.
What Hogwarts House would you NOT like to be in? I'm sorry Puffs, but I would have to say Hufflepuff. I still love you guys, but I just can't say that it's for me.
What author would you most like to meet? Tough question. Since I was young, I always wanted to meet Laura Ignalls Wilder. She was my inspiration when I was younger. Today, maybe Cassandra Clare or JK Rowling.
Graphic novels, yea or nay? Yea. They are good. They may cut too much good stuff out, but they are still good.
How would you go about encouraging a child to read? If it was my child, I would do it like my parents did for me: they read to me before bed as long as I could remember and it was whatever book I wanted read to me. They also would take me to the bookstore every few months and I could buy books that interested me. By doing this, they encouraged and inspired me to read.
Zombie Apocalypse time. What book would you use as a melee weapon? War and Peace by Tolstoy because come on, that book is huge!!
What genre do you hate? Romance. It's not that I hate like romance in books, I just don't like books where the genre is romance. I like there to be elements of things other than just romance in my books.
What character would you immediately accept if they proposed to you? Oooh. Um . . . It would definitely be Peeta. He's so nice! And he likes to bake. He would be absolutely perfect.
Who is an author you think is great that not a lot of people know about? I love Tamora Pierce and I know she has a large fanbase, but I still think that not many people know about her AMAZING books.
What would you eat for elevensies? French toast, cereal and apples. Or maybe chocolate. Or whatever I can find :)
