A to Z Bookish Survey

Format: select

I found this survey today on The Perpetual Page-Turner.  It looks really fun!

I want to do more creative posts! She has such good ideas.  I’m noticing that she just takes things from her life about reading and shares them.  I’m going to make it a goal to do that on my blog, too.  My posts aren’t going to be the same as hers but there are a few that have been marinating in my head that I’d like to finally get to!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]A[/dropcap]uthor you’ve read the most books from:

David Eddings. LOL I was addicted to his books in middle school.  They were very epic.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]B[/dropcap]est Sequel Ever:

Insurgent by Veronica Roth!  It’s one of the only cases I can think of where I liked the sequel better than the first book.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]C[/dropcap]urrently Reading:

After Hello by Lisa Mangum.  It might very well be my first contemporary romance (or at least the first newish contemporary romance). I love the writing and the relationship of the two characters, but I find myself wanting the plot to move along.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]D[/dropcap]rink of Choice While Reading:

I’m gonna be honest here – I don’t drink anything besides water.  I don’t like soda, I hardly every buy juice and I’m not a coffee or tea person.  And Gatorade gives me heartburn.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]E[/dropcap]-reader or Physical Book?

E-reader! I do most of my reading in bed and it’s so annoying to hold open my book and position the book light…plus the kindle helps me keep track of who is who in the book (via a search) because I really suck at doing that.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]F[/dropcap]ictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:

Trevor from Pivot Point.  The cute artsy type – yes please!!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]G[/dropcap]lad You Gave This Book A Chance:

A Tale of Two Cities.  This is one of the few books I can think of that I slogged through, but was blown away by the ending.  It’s because of books like this that I can’t quit on a book!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]H[/dropcap]idden Gem Book:

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride.  It’s a horror that I actually liked!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]I[/dropcap]mportant Moment in your Reading Life:

When I discovered the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems for my kids.  Watching their delight and their love for reading grow was just plain awesome.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]J[/dropcap]ust Finished:

The Chaos of the Stars by Kiersten White

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]K[/dropcap]inds of Books You Won’t Read:

Horror and erotica.  But as I said before there are rare exceptions to my no-horror rule.  Erotica I will never ever read.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]L[/dropcap]ongest Book You’ve Read:

Oooh I love long books! *looks up on Goodreads* Les Miserables (unabridged) by Victor Hugo. 1463 pages.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]M[/dropcap]ajor book hangover because of:

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]N[/dropcap]umber of Bookcases You Own:

One large, double-sized bookcase.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]O[/dropcap]ne Book You Have Read Multiple Times:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.  I’ve read it 3 times.  Usually re-reading a favorite book once is my max. Three is a lot for me!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]P[/dropcap]referred Place To Read:

In bed is where I read the most.  But when I get a yard I’d love to read outside too! I read whenever we go camping in the mountains.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]Q[/dropcap]uote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:

“A GUIDED TOUR OF SUFFERING: To your left, perhaps your right, perhaps even straight ahead, you find a small black room. In it sits a Jew. He is scum. He is starving. He is afraid. Please – try not to look away.”

― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]R[/dropcap]eading Regret:

Not reading more required reading books in school.  I can’t remember if it’s because they were never assigned by my teachers or if I just didn’t read them.  But SO many books I missed out on! Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, The Great Gatsby, The Diary of Anne Frank and so many more.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]S[/dropcap]eries You Started And Need To Finish(all books are out in series):

The Giver Quartet.  I’ve read the first two and I already own the last two.  And two of them are signed!  Hopefully Lois Lowry doesn’t change her mind and add another book to the series before I finish it. (LOL she probably won’t, but still.)

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]T[/dropcap]hree of your All-Time Favorite Books:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Twilight, and To Kill a Mockingbird.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]U[/dropcap]napologetic Fangirl For:

Downton Abbey.  The time period, the costumes, the characters, the actors, the Drama. I loves it all!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]V[/dropcap]ery Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:

Allegiant!! I want to see what’s beyond the fence!!

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]W[/dropcap]orst Bookish Habit:

I have two and you can decide which is worse – I buy books and then don’t read them for years.  I buy books in whatever format is most convenient at the time so none of my series match.  I’ll have a any combination of a paperback, an ebook and a hardcover for a given series.  Which do you think is worse?

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]X[/dropcap]Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:

Everbound by Brodi Ashton

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]Y[/dropcap]our latest book purchase:

As of two seconds ago, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.  It was on sale for $3.99 and I’ve wanted to read it for a while.  Look at the pretty cover and the shiny medal!!  I’ve heard good things about it, too.

[dropcap style=”2″ size=”2″]Z[/dropcap]ZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo.
