A to Z Bookish Survey

 The Perpetual Page-Turner has a book survey that I decided to join in on because it looks fun! Also her blog is amazing!

Authors you've read the most books from: 
Sarah Dessen, I've read all her books (except for her new one I haven't gotten to that one yet) and J.K. Rowling.

Best Sequel Ever:
The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld
I'm going to put this here even though I just started it and I'm only on ch. 3 but The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. The Maze Runner was AMAZING and I'm in love with the characters!

Currently Reading: 
The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

Drink of Choice While Reading: 
Water, coffee or tea

E-Reader or Physical Book: 
Physical, I will never stop buying physical books and even though e-books are cheaper I need to be able to hold the book in my hand and turn the pages.

Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated in High School: Alright but you asked, Thomas (The Maze Runner), Newt (The Maze Runner), Minho (The Maze Runner), Ron Weasley (Harry Potter), Owen (Just Listen)...I should probably stop listing now because there are a lot more. Although I'm not even sorry.

Glad You Gave This Book a Chance: 
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. In one word: AMAZING!!! I've never really been an end-of-the-world, alien type of girl but this book was so good I wanted to erase my memory and read it over again.

Hidden Gem Book: 

Important Moment in Your Reading Life: 
When my sister showed me book blogs and that led me to Goodreads, which is a fabulous website!

Just Finished: 
Incarnate by Jodi Meadows.

Kinds of Books You Won't Read: 
Romance novels. You know the ones with Fabio on the cover, not that there is anything wrong with them just not my cup of tea.

Longest Book You've Read: 
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (973 pg.)

Major Book Hangover because of: 
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

Number of Book Cases you Own: 
Unfortunately it's just one and I share it with my sister. There are a lot of books that don't fit and I am hoping to get a bigger one soon.

One Book You've Read Multiple Times:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, I read it the summer before seventh grade and it just changed everything, I've read it every year since then and Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

Preferred Place to Read: 
My bed

Quote That Inspires You/ Gives you Feels From a Book You've Read: 
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." -To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Reading Regret: 
I have a few, not reading 1984 in high school and not appreciating The Catcher in the Rye in high school. Also not reading/watching The Lord of The Rings in high school. 

Series you Started and Need to Finish (all books are out in the series): 
The Beautiful Creatures series and the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick

Three of Your All Time Favorite Books: 

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Unapologetic Fangirl for: Neil Gaiman

Very Excited for this Release More Than All Others: 
Project Cain by Geoffrey Girard, my sister told me about it, it sounds so good! 

Worst Bookish Habit: 
I have a few, I start reading a book and I get a quarter of the way through, sometimes half way through and then I just stop reading. I literally just put the book down and stop reading it for a while. I do eventually pick it up again but at that point I have to read it from the beginning. 


I pick books based on their cover a lot. It's an awful awful habit and I know it is. The worse thing is that so far it hasn't let me down. 

I start multiple books at once which isn't always bad except for when I can't focus on the different story lines and then I put them down again. 

X Marks the Spot, Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book: 
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (I really enjoyed the movie!) 

Your Latest Book Purchase: 
The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

ZZZ-snatcher book(last book that kept you up way late): 
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey and The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Alright there you go, a little bit about me and my bookish habits :)

  1. Ha -- I love thinking which book characters I would have been secretly in love with in high school. I've never read the Maze Runner -- maybe I should check it out!
    Thanks so much for stopping by! Jen @ YA Romantics
