I Dare You Book Tag

I found this tag on Anna @ Annaish blog, and it’s created by bookfandom1001 (thanks for your research Anna!)

📚 WHICH BOOK HAS BEEN ON YOUR SHELF THE LONGEST?

I’m not sure… before I got into YA, there were my childhood books, so there’s that. YA-wise, I think it might be NEED by Carrie Jones or EVERNIGHT by Claudia Gray.

📚 WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT READ, YOUR LAST READ, AND THE BOOK YOU’LL BE READING NEXT?

I’m currently reading PRETTY, NASTY, LOVELY by Rosalind Noonan just finished SECRETS OF VILLA ROSSO by Lynn B Halton, and I will (finally) start SUMMER OF CHASING MERMAIDS next.

📚 WHAT BOOK DID EVERYONE LIKE BUT YOU HATED?

TFIOS and FANGIRL because they were boring. Sue me.

📚 WHAT BOOK DO YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF YOU’LL READ BUT YOU PROBABLY WON’T?

LOTR. It’s there on my shelf, staring at me every night, but until now,I still haven’t read it. And tbh, I probably never will. It’s just too long, too descriptive, with too small font. Definitely not a kind of book I read.

📚 WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU SAVING FOR RETIREMENT?

Probably LOTR. I mean it’s a long book, so why not…

📚 LAST PAGE: READ IT FIRST OR WAIT UNTIL THE END?

Read it first! It’s an old habit of mine.

📚 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: WASTE OF PAPER AND INK, OR INTERESTING ASIDE?

They are interesting! I love spotting familiar names such as other authors or bloggers.

📚 WHICH BOOK CHARACTER WOULD YOU SWITCH PLACES WITH?

Um… Maybe Tessa Gray? I mean having both Will and Jem as your best friend must’ve been amazing.

📚 DO YOU HAVE A BOOK THAT REMINDS YOU OF SOMETHING SPECIFIC IN YOUR LIFE? (PLACE, TIME, PERSON)

Percy Jackson series! Fun fact: when I was in junior high (around year 7 or 8) we played this olympians role play. I was Thetis. It was pointless, but it kinda bound me and my friends closer.

📚 NAME AN INTERESTING BOOK THAT YOU ACQUIRED IN AN INTERESTING WAY.

I can’t think of anything really…

📚 HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN A BOOK AWAY FOR A SPECIAL REASON TO A SPECIAL PERSON?

To my sister. Which is not technically giving away books, since her books, even though in different shelf, we read together.

📚 WHICH BOOK HAS BEEN WITH YOU MOST PLACES?

Also none. I rarely brought physical books with me because they are just heavy.

📚 ANY REQUIRED READING IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT WASN’T SO BAD?

My school has no required reading so lucky me, I guess.

📚 USED OR BRAND NEW?

Brand new.

📚 HAVE YOU EVER READ A DAN BROWN BOOK?

No. I’ve watched the adaptations though.

📚 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MOVIE YOU LIKED MORE THAN THE BOOK?

HP I think? Yes there are differences from the book, but overall I think they bring to life the magic of Wizarding World almost perfectly.

📚 HAVE YOU EVER READ A BOOK THAT MADE YOU HUNGRY (COOKBOOKS INCLUDED)?

THE WRATH AND THE DAWN. The description of middle eastern food really made my mouth watered.

📚 WHO IS THE PERSON WHOSE BOOK ADVICE YOU’LL ALWAYS TAKE?

Again, nothing came to me. I never paid attention where do I get the recommendations from.

📚 IS THERE A BOOK OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE (E.G. OUTSIDE YOUR USUAL READING GENRE) THAT YOU ENDED UP LOVING?

I don’t really read adult fiction, but lately I’ve been gravitating toward the genre. My latest read is a living proof of it.
