Clare M Davidson<\/a> (@claremdavidson<\/a>) tagged me in post about reading questions. Figured I’d answer a few, alter a few and add a few! Just for fun! If you were looking to know more about my reading and writing habits, here’s a great place to learn them:<\/p>\n

1. Favorite childhood book?<\/strong>\u00a0Robber Raccoon or the Curious Kitten. Those are picture books…but they’re awesome!
\n2. What are you reading right now?<\/strong>\u00a0To be honest, my own stuff lol
\n3. What books do you have on request at the library?<\/strong>\u00a0Nope. I love the library\u00a0though, there’s so much possibility!
\n4. Bad book habit?<\/strong>\u00a0Smelling the pages too much. Does that count? xP Don’t laugh, you\u00a0know you do it too!<\/p>\n

5. What book(s)\u00a0has influenced your writing most?<\/strong>\u00a0Harry\u00a0Potter, as that is what prompted me to realize people would read stuff I wrote.
\n6. Have your reading habits changed since starting a blog?<\/strong>\u00a0I’ve tried to read more so I can review more books. Speaking of, I should get on that. Any scifi\/fantasy recs?
\n7. Least favourite book?<\/strong>\u00a0I don’t think I have a least favorite, just many I was disappointed by.
\n8. Favorite book you\u2019ve read?<\/strong>\u00a0Wow that’s tough. I have to go with The Dress Lodger. It’s a literary\/historical fiction that hit\u00a0every note\u00a0perfectly. Prizoner of Azkaban is a close second.
\n9. How often do you read out of your comfort zone?<\/strong>\u00a0Not often.\u00a0That’s why it’s called the comfort zone xP But as you can see above, it paid off.
\n10. What is your reading comfort zone?<\/strong> Speculative fiction, Scifi\/Fantasy of the Young Adult persuasion.
\n11. Can you read on the bus?<\/strong>\u00a0If you want me to throw up on you.
\n12. What is your policy on book lending?<\/strong>\u00a0I am very hestiant about lending books. But if they are returned in good care, I’m happy.
\n13. Do you ever write\u00a0 notes in the margins of your books?<\/strong>\u00a0I do. For class it would be\u00a0important things to note, but for\u00a0otherwise I do it to remind myself of something I’d like\u00a0to use in my\u00a0writing (Read: Not stealing, recording my own thoughts)
\n14. What makes you love a book?<\/strong>\u00a0A clever concept or amazing\u00a0characters. Preferably both!
\n15. Name a case in which hype ruined your reading experience.<\/strong> I think a lot of people will answer Harry Potter.\u00a0Me too! The build up for the finale was too great, in my opinion. Nothing could have satsified the masses.
\n16. How often do you agree with critics about a book?<\/strong>\u00a0Often lol I’m a critical reader, so\u00a0our views tend to\u00a0jive, but it’s\u00a0a subjective business and\u00a0opinions are personal.<\/p>\n

17. What’s your favorite genre?<\/strong> That would be my comfort zone. Spec fics. Like Animal Farm and Narnia.
\n18. Favorite Poet?<\/strong>\u00a0Emily Dickinson if I had to chose.
\n19. Favorite fictional character?<\/strong>\u00a0Hermione. Strictly books 1-5. Otherwise,\u00a0Holden from Catcher in the Rye lol He was an adorable little dbag.
\n20. Favourite fictional villain?<\/strong>\u00a0The White Witch from Narnia! She was a bad lady!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

21. Are there any books you\u2019ve been avoiding?<\/strong> Twilight. Never.<\/p>\n

22. Name a book that made you angry. <\/strong>Twilight.\u00a0Ha!
\n23. A book you didn\u2019t expect to like but did?<\/strong>\u00a01984. It felt very dry to start, but it\u00a0had a good message.
\n24. A book that you expected to like but didn\u2019t?<\/strong>\u00a0Jane Eyre. Cannot stomach it. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

25. What do you love most about books?<\/strong> The worlds they create and the escapism readers get by diving into them.\u00a0I love reading a book in one sitting (or trying to).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
