Bookish Facts About Me!

By
So, I decided to tell you guys a little bit about myself through book related stuff, so you can get to know me a little better.

So, let’s just jump right in!

  •          I would really love to be in Dauntless but I’m probably more Erudite. (Divergent by Veronica Roth)
  •         I’m a SLYTHERIN!!! Yeah!
  •         My patronus is a white swan
  •          I always have at least two books on me at all times
  •          I will read anywhere and everywhere (No joke)
  •          I usually like to get all my reading done during the day, I’m not a huge night owl (Unless it comes to a read-a-thon, then I never sleep)
  •          The first booktuber I ever watched was Katytastic
  •          I’m not quite sure which book or series got me into reading, but I know I love it now!
  •         I have a kitten named Bruce, he doesn’t like for me to read.
  •           Imostly read YA, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. But I’m trying to branch out and read different genres.
  •         I am a really fast reader most of the time
  •          I have never been to a book signing or anything like BookCon or BookExpo (Although I REALLY want to go)
  •          I collect bookmarks



Anyways, I think you get the idea. So enough about me, I want to hear about you guys! Comment below and let me know some interesting book facts about you! 😊

    This is a cute idea :)

    I am a very proud Ravenclaw and my patronus is a Butterfly! I strive to be the kind of person that would be in Amity, but I honestly think I would be in Erudite too. I also always have two books on me at all times, however one is for me and the other is a childrens book for my daughter.

    I'm more of an evening reader, once the child is in bed. I like curling up and winding down from a busy day with a good book, however that often means I stay up way too late! I have honestly never watched a booktuber, but I guess I should start! I already loved to read from a very young age, but the two books that really started my life long love and obsession with books were Treasure Island and Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.

    I was gifted a beautiful little Kitten for my 10th birthday, and I named him Harry Potter. I had Harry for almost 16 years before he went to sleep. I also mostly read YA, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. However I also love Memoirs, Romance, Classics and Surrealism! I have been terrible with the variety I've been reading this year so I need to sort that out and branch out genre wise.

    I feel like I am quite a fast reader, but I don't get a whole lot of time to read so it evens out to a moderate speed. I have been to a few book signings before, but nothing as big as some of the book conventions I see overseas! Here in NZ we have one called the Readers and Writers Festival, and although it is fun, I wish I could head to a bigger and better one!

    I have a pretty decent bookmark collection, but I try and collect plants mentioned in books. I adore plants and flowers, so if one is mentioned in a book I usually do some research and try and fit it into my house if I can. I hope one day to have a lot of land so I can plant trees mentioned in books too!

    That was fun :)

      Thank You for sharing! And you should definitely check out booktube! I often get all of my recommendations from there, and I love watching other people's book hauls. I really like your plant idea! that's really cool, and I'm glad you are doing it because if I tried I would end up killing all of them. LoL I don't really have a 'green thumb'

    I'm a total Ravenclaw lol
    I tend to be reading a lot of books simultaneously- I have a "bedtime book", a "purse book" (so I never end up being out somewhere w/out a book! Cuz that's horrible *shudders*) and usually 1-3 non-fiction books I'm working my way through.
    And I want to be an illustrator :)

Today I want to share with you all some things that make me completely lose interest in a book. Whether I’m in the middle of reading it or I’m just checking out the synopsis, these things are a sure sign of a DNF (Did not finish) book. The Well Thumbed Reader inspired this post! Click on the link to see her blog. Insta-love- I HATE books that the characters fall in “love at first sight.” I don’t believe in that, and will run away from the book and never think of it again. I want the characters to get to know each other first, because I think it makes their story more endearing than when they automatically become boyfriend and girlfriend. sport books- Honestly, I couldn’t care less about sports in reality, so why would I want to read about them? short time spans- I’ll probably contradict myself in this one, but I don’t like it when all the action happens in one day. I want things to be evenly paced, and I don’t want a book that skips too much time, because the

The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This book has me shook. Usually, I jump right into writing my review after I finish a book, but I had to sit and compose myself for a minute after getting done. This book was close to being on my Top 5 2017 list, but it didn’t make it because of some issues I had with the book regarding my personal preferences. Everything about this book was flawless, the writing style, the story, each character, was beautiful. It warmed my heart to read this book because it is a true piece of art. Except, this book had blood and gruesome details that made me queasy. I hate anything to do with doctors or hospitals, especially needles and blood. This book had the latter two in abundance. If I hadn’t liked the rest of this book so much, this review probably would have gone in the opposite direction. The story has a Frankenstein vibe to it, and it also gave me a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde vibe because of a character and his behavior. I know Goodreads says

Today I want to share with you some things that really irk my nerves when reading. Some things just get to me in a book, and here are some examples: Not having chapter numbers - I don’t really have a valid explanation as to why this gets to me, but it does. Sometimes I get motivation to finish a book by calculating how many chapters I have left based on how many chapters there are total. I CAN’T DO THAT WITHOUT CHAPTER NUMBERS!! Not naming the POV’s- If your book has multiple points of view… PLEASE LABEL THEM. I hate having to figure out whose chapters I’m reading. If you don’t make it insanely obvious, please assume I don’t know who is who, okay?   Dog-eared pages- This one is pretty self-explanitory. I like to keep my books very pristine and in tip-top shape, so don’t go around messing up the corners of my pages. Unless you want a very angry Madi Monster on your hands 😊 .   Bent paperback covers- Most of the time after I read a paperback, the front
