Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.

Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them.

My answers:

1.Top five books?

I'm so happy I've made up my mind about this question a long time ago. I never hesitate when answering. The best book I've ever read is "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. The others in the top 5 would be "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Crime & Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "Gone With the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell and "Eugene Onegin" by Alexander Pushkin.

2. What book do you want your children to read?

Ugh, children. But if I ever decide to have children, I'm sure I will introduce them the Harry Potter series. I want the books to live on forever in the hearts of future generations.

3. What book would you buy your best friend?

Probably something about animals and biology, something by Gerald Durrell would be perfect, I guess.

4. What book do you relate most to?

That's a hard one. I think "The Book Thief" is perfect in every single way, but Hermione Granger is the character I can relate to the most.

5. What's your favorite childhood book?

Oh, I loved Astrid Lindgren books, basically all of them. I reread them almost every day. And Roald Dahl's books, too.

6. What is your favorite book you read for school?

Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment". 

7. Least favorite book?

It's hard to tell, because I've learnt to choose books so well that I almost always end up likin them. So the books I didn't like I must've read a long time ago. Goodreads says that the lowest ratings I've ever given are to the books like "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer and "Ebaõnnestunud" by Chris Kala, also "Nancy Drew: In Search of the Black Rose" by Carolyn Keene.

8. What book do you recommend to all your followers?

The top 5 books, I'd say, especially "The Book Thief". 

9. What's a book everyone should read?

Goddamn, "The Book Thef". Seriously, though. Remarque's books, too.

10. Favorite movie adaptation?

Well, I'm quite sure "The Fault in our Stars" will soon be the favorite. But right now, "Catching Fire" and "Harry Potter" movies should be the best in my opinion.

11. What book would you make into a movie if you had a chance?

"Looking for Alaska"!! I know it is a difficult choice to make into a movie, but I'd love to see it on screen. "Eleanor & Park" would be lovely, too.

12. How do you mark your favorite quotes in books?

I used to highlight them for a little while, but then I realised I'm ruining the book. I started using a pencil, underlining the quotes softly. But if the book is very beautiful, I don't want to ruin the look of its pages, so I just like the quotes on Goodreads.

13. What is the book that got you addicted to reading?

Uh, I was addicted to books before I could even read. I learnt to read when I was 5, and just because I wanted to discover the secrets of the beautiful books my mom read to me myself.

14. Which book have you reread the most times?

"Harry Potter" series. All of them.

15. Who is the author you want to meet?

Markus Zusak!!!! And John Green, of course. And J. K. Rowling.

16. What book touched you the most?

"The Book Thief"

17. What is your favorite book title?

Uh... "Paper Towns" could be, actually.

18. Who is your favorite book protagonist?

I don't think I could consider Hermione a protagonist, so I think Hazel Grace. (The popular choice Katniss irritates me quite a lot sometimes).

19. What book gave you the most laughs?

John Green books. I don't remember any other books to be actually funny, not annoying.

20. What is your favorite book cover?

"The Book Thief" cover, the one where Death is dancing with Liesel.

21. What book do you think has the worst cliffhanger ending ever?

"Eleanor & Park". It's not that I didn't like the ending, I did like it, but it was so painful to see that I can't know what exactly happened??? I even googled it, and realised I'll never know. But that's fine.

22. Which book made you cry?

Ugh, John Green's books (except for "The Abundance of Katherines"), "The Book Thief", "Before I Die" by Jenny Downham, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell... There's plenty of them.

My questions:

1. Who is your favorite book antagonist?

2. What genre of books do you prefer?

3. Do you like to buy or borrow books? Why?

4. Do you use bookmarks? If not, do you mark the place where you stopped reading?

5. A book that you didn't really like but everyone seems to love it?

6. How do you place your books on shelves (alphabetical order, by color, by size...)?

7. If you could read only one book for the rest of your life, what would it be?

8. If you could take only one book to a deserted island with you, what would it be?

9. Have you ever, after finishing a book, imagined a different ending and ignored what happened in the book?

10. Which book character would you like to meet?

11. Hottest book character ever?

Having the strength to take care of yourself when the world is trying to bleed you dry, that is the strongest thing in the universe."
