christianreaderI saw this on a blog and thought it would be fun to fill out. Feel free to join in; I love hearing other people's thoughts on books!
Author you’ve read the most books from: Elizabeth Peters, probably, since she's written so many!
Best Sequel Ever: I don't know about ever, but I do love Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which opens up the series and starts to show how big and complex the wizarding world is.
Currently Reading: I'm between books at the moment. I have several from the library but nothing is sounding good right now.
Drink of Choice While Reading: Water? I don't really have one, I guess.
E-reader or Physical Book? Physical books. Always, always, always.
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School: I would have been madly in love with Sirius Black, and he never would have noticed me. Kind of like my actual high school dating life.
Glad You Gave This Book A Chance: Cinder - The idea of a cyborg Cinderella did nothing for me, but when I actually read it, I loved it.
Hidden Gem Book: Elizabeth and Her German Garden - Not really a novel or a memoir, just a lovely, relaxed meandering through the seasons at a German country house.
Important Moment in your Reading Life: Age 5: I learn to read.
Just Finished: The Girl of Fire and Thorns. I didn't love it.
Kinds of Books You Won’t Read: Horror or erotica or anything too political.
Longest Book You’ve Read: Probably Gone With the Wind, unless I can count Lord of the Rings as one book?
Major book hangover because of: I think Tiger's Quest was probably the last one that really ruined me for other books for a little while?
Number of Bookcases You Own: Two. Which is only enough because I've been ruthless about weeding them lately.
One Book You Have Read Multiple Times: I don't think I could pick just one; I re-read all the time. Harry Potter, Twilight, everything by Mary Stewart and Jane Austen, M.M. Kaye's mysteries...
Preferred Place To Read: A big comfy chair with a cat on my lap.
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read: First of all, STOP SAYING "FEELS"!!! It's feelings!!!
Second of all, there are too many to choose from, but my favorite at the moment is "The stupidity with which he was favoured by nature must guard his courtship from any charm that could make a woman wish for its continuance." from Pride and Prejudice.
Reading Regret: That I wasted my time trying to impress people with my reading choices instead of reading what I liked.
Series You Started And Need To Finish (all books are out in series): Stephanie Plum.
Three of your All-Time Favorite Books: Nine Coaches Waiting, Shadow of the Moon, The Code of the Woosters
Unapologetic Fangirl For: Twilight.
Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others: Probably a tie between Dreams of Gods and Monsters and Cress. Oh, and The Case of the Love Commandos!
Worst Bookish Habit: Peeking at the end when the middle starts to drag - once I've done that I almost never go back and read the whole thing.
X Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book: Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet
Your latest book purchase: a new copy of The Ivy Tree.
ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late): Attachments by Rainbow Rowell.
