TOO MUCH INFORMATION: BOOK TAG

Hi there! Today it is time for another tag. This time: TMI!



What fictional character has the best style?
I really don’t have an answer for this question. I almost never, ever read books where clothes are described. Sometimes they do, but that just to point out, what horrible clothing the character is wearing because of some situation.

Your book girlfriend/boyfriend/ fictional crush?
Either Jace Herondale or Jin from ‘Rebel of the Sands’.

Ever loved a character but than started hating them?
I don’t recall so, no.

Biggest/Longest book on your shelf?
‘The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe’ by surprise, surprise Edgar Allan Poe.

Heaviest book on your shelf?
Either ‘The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe’ or my massive ‘The Complete Fairytales of The Brothers Grimm’.

Do you have any book posters?
Nope!

Do you have any book themed jewellery?
No…

A book story you miss/ wish would continue?
I got this awful feeling that I’m not done yet, with mentioning Harry Potter.

Favourite stand-alone?
Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt.

Since when did you read books?
I think I started reading around the age of 6 or 7. I always went to the library and I basically read every Dutch children’s book that was available in my local library.

Which Hogwarts house are you in?
Slytherin!

Quality you look for in a book?
A nice writing style, fun characters, emotions.

Favourite book quote
“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road: The Original Scroll.

Favourite author?
Oh I’m really not sure about this one. I think J.K. Rowling and Patrick Ness.

Favourite book cover?
Nope, this question, I really can’t answer.

Action or Romance?
Action. I love a good romance but action is where my love truly lies.

Where do you go when a sad moment happens?
I just stay where I am, and keep on reading. One book only ever made me cry because it was that sad but that was at the ending so I cried a little and then I continued on with live.

How long do you need to finish a book?
That of course depends on the book, but I read +- 90 to 100 pages per hour.

How long is your mourning period?
That depends on the character and at what stage in the book it happened.

Least favourite Book?
It’s a tie between ‘Eat My Heart Out’ by Zoe Pilger of ‘How To Build A Girl’ by Caitlin Moran.

Turn on in a character?
Being adventurous.

Turn off in a character?
Disrespect.

Reason I started blogging?
I really don’t have anyone to really ramble to about books, and I want to get my thoughts about books of my mind so I thought why not put it on the interwebs. Besides that I also find it fun to keep this blog as a little archive for what I have read, and what I thought about it.

I don’t do scary books.
