Aw yisss, questions to answer. Questions are my favourite things. I was tagged by this lovely lady a few days ago, and I've been having camera drama for a while. But I finally got a shiny new one for my trip to London, so enjoy the messy bookshelf photos below.
What are your top three book pet hates?
Not enough world building. I LOVE world building and new settings, so when there isn't enough of it it just annoys me.
Bizarre concepts thrown in where they don't go. (I recently read a post apoc with a talking snake in it ... and dinosaurs. I mean really!)
Run of the mill love interests. I think this one speaks for itself.
Describe your perfect reading spot.
I'll read literally anywhere. Literally. But a reading spot in one of my favourite places would be lovely - either London or Cardiff bay.
Tell us three book confessions.
I always read the endings when I'm halfway through. (eek!)
I have a terrible habit of bending the spines.
I'm biased against contemporary, and won't even give fluffy romance a chance. I don't like the genre as a whole, so won't read any.
When was the last time you cried during a book?
Ugh, page 625 of City of Heavenly Fire.
How many books are on your bedside table?
I actually have books on my bed. I have a double, and I don't take up much room, so ...
I have 4 research books (for The Legend Mirror), Heart of London which I like to dip into briefly before bed, Batman Arkham Asylum, and The Fiery Heart which I appear to have abandoned.
What is your favourite snack whilst your reading?
Noo, absolutely not. I don't eat and read.
Name three books you would recommend to everyone.
The Scorpio Races | Maggie Stiefvater
The Demon's Lexicon | Sarah Rees Brennan
Daughter of Smoke & Bone | Laini Taylor

I have like ... three. If I had to pick ONE, it'd be this one:
But I also love these two:
Write how much books mean to you in just three words.

My entire heart.
What is your biggest reading secret?
I literally can't think of one. Oops.
TAG – You’re it!
I literally don't follow that many people with book blogs, and those I do have mostly already done this, so - I'm tagging:
Because I can, basically.
How do you not eat and read, though? Sometimes I /pee/ and read, for crying out loud.

DeleteTalking snakes! Because they're normal. Considering I live in Cardiff, I haven't been down the bay that much, mainly more when I was younger than now. I used to avoid all types of contemporary, they had to be pretty special ones for me to read them, haha. But now? Yup, I love them. Especially fluffy ones. But they have to be special fluffy ones. You know, special fluffy ones with personality. I think I'm going to hate where CoHF is going to go, for me it's ended after #3. Might leave it like it, haha. I've read The Demon's Lexicon, which I loved, but haven't finished the series yet. Buuuuut, so much Sarah Rees Brennan love <3
ReplyDeleteYou NEEEED to finish The Demon's Lexicon series. They get better with each book, and there's a certain rooftop scene in book two that's my favourite scene in any book ever :)
