Morning to all, I’m currently at the amazing Chapter.con in London and I’m up early (because my dorm room is under a flight path lol) so whilst the authors are still tucked up I thought I would do a quick fun book tag to start the weekend! I found this from Book Hooked Nook but please feel free to play along!
Author you’ve read the most books from?
I think I have to say that it’s Sarah J Maas, just because of how vast the Throne of Glass Series became. Jo Michaels comes a close second though!
Best sequel ever?
Muse of Nightmares, I think I loved that book even more than Strange the Dreamer
Currently Reading
Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman
Drink of Choice While Reading?
A nice cold glass of Pinot Grigio
E-Reader or Physical Book
I think that there is a time and place for both as ebooks are so handy to read when you’re out and about – ultimately though I prefer to hold a book in my hands
Fictional Character you probably would have actually dated in High School
Luvian Fen from the State of Sorrow Duology by Melinda Salisbury
Glad you gave this book a chance?
Vampire Hearts by Katie M John, I’m not usually a vampire kind of girl but her Bathory Academy series really surprised me and I’m so glad I picked it up!
Hidden Gem Book
Truly give Indie authors a chance – not all write to market, there are some really amazing story tellers out there!
Important moment in your reading life?
Discovering the Indie Author community, I have made so many friends and learnt so much from them all.
Just Finished?
To Best the Boys by Mary Weber
Kind of books you won’t read?
Contemporary Romance, I prefer worlds that help me escape reality.
Longest book you’ve read?
Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas.
Major book hangover because of?
Sorry to go there again but the prize goes to Sarah J Maas with A Court of Wings and Ruin – that whole series just left me an emotional mess.
Number of bookcases you own?
Three
One book you have read multiple times?
Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone
Preferred Place to Read?
Tucked up on the sofa with a glass of wine
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read?
Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light – I love it so much I have it on a tote bag that I take everywhere with me!
Reading regret?
Buying the first Shatter Me trilogy on a kindle deal – halfway through book one I knew that I really didn’t like it, but powered through because I had bought them all – such a mistake, it was terrible in my opinion – so much abuse 😦
Series you started and need to finish (all books are out in series)
Technically the last book is out soon, but I’m so far behind with the Red Rising series that there is no way i’ll have caught up by then!
Three of your all-time favourite books?
The Time Travellers Wife, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Very excited for this release more than all the others?
The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Worst Bookish Habit?
Leaving it too long to write my reviews – I can’t do them straight away as I need time to process (although I do put initial thoughts down) then I start another book and keep saying “I’ll do it later” until I completely forget most of it 😦
Your Latest Book Purchase?
No purchases but I have acquired quite a few books from the authors at Chapter.con! I have a set of the Return of the Elves Series by Bethany Adams which is amazing and also several books by P.M. Hernandez
ZZZ-snatcher book? (last book that kept you up way too late)
I’m actually pretty good at knowing when to quit as I if I have to re-read a page I know i’m too tired to take the story in and enjoy it so I make myself stop so I don’t miss important details!
ZZZ-snatcher book? (last book that kept you up way too late)
Sapphire Smyth & The Shadow Five Part One by R.J Furness.
