Last week, Jamie from The Perpetual Page-Turner created this blogging survey. I'm trying to get over my blogging slump and I love all kinds of surveys, so I'm (very belatedly) jumping on the bandwagon.
Author You've Read The Most Books From
I think Terry Goodkind wins this one, as I've read 13 of his books. He's closely followed by J.R. Ward and Gena Showalter - I've read 12 for both of them.
Best Sequel Ever
I fail at reading sequels a lot of the time, and I really need to be better about this. But off the top of my head, I would say Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi. This was a case where I thought the sequel was even better than the first book.
Currently Reading
I'm in the middle of Breaking Glass by Lisa Amowitz and a reread of Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward.
Drink of Choice While Reading
Coffee is my preference, but I also drink Diet Mountain Dew and/or water a lot while reading.
E-reader or physical book?
Give me a physical book any day. Though I do love the convenience of an e-reader for traveling and because I am simply out of space for real books. (Really, I can barely walk around my apartment for all the stacks and stacks of books.)
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated in High School
This would be so much easier if it were fictional character I would date now. But since it asks about high school, probably someone like Augustus from The Fault in Our Stars or Matt from Things I Can't Forget.
Glad You Gave This Book a Chance
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I know, I know. But once upon a time, I wasn't a big fan of contemporary YA. Then I started reading books like this one, and they changed my mind.
Hidden Gem Book
Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst. I loved this book and think it's a perfect example of a fantasy standalone.
Important Moment in Your Reading Life
There are so many. Cop-out though it may be, I have to say reading Twilight. Without the fan site I joined because of it, I wouldn't have found the friends and book recommendations that led me to blogging.
Just Finished
I just finished reading The Obsidian Pebble by Rhys A. Jones. Look for this in October! It's a great MG mystery.
Kinds of Books You Won't Read
Nora Roberts-type romance books. I have nothing against them, they just aren't my thing. (I prefer my romance to be paranormal or NA.)
Longest Book You've Read
At 979 pages, Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind.
Major Book Hangover Because of
I can think of several, but one of the biggest ones was probably Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward.
Number of Bookcases You Own
Do tables count in this number? No? Then I have eight. (Plus a kitchen table, end tables, a coffee table, an entertainment center...you get the idea.)
One Book You Have Read Multiple Times
There are several series I've read multiple times (Harry Potter, Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sword of Truth), but for a single book, Phantom by Susan Kay and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
Preferred Place to Read
On my couch, or sometimes in my bed, snuggled under blankets.
Quote That Inspires You
I've been trying to be better about recording quotes that strike me when I'm reading. I love quotes and sometimes spend hours searching for the perfect one for something. One day I'll just keep a notebook or a Word document. But for now, here is one of my favorite quotes from the Sword of Truth Series:
Reading Regret
I regret every time I let reading feel more like a chore rather than remembering why I love it and letting myself read whatever I want to whenever I want to.
Series You Started and Need to Finish (series is complete)
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I've read the first two books, and one day I really will read the others, I swear.
Three of Your All Time Favorite Books
This question never gets easier, so I'm going to cheat. For series, Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind, Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward, and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. For standalone books, Phantom by Susan Kay, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
Unapologetic Fangirl For
All of Andrea Cremer's books. She's probably my favorite YA author.
Very Excited for This Release More Than All the Others
The King by J.R. Ward and Snakeroot by Andrea Cremer.
Worst Bookish Habit
I don't think I have bad book habits as far as how I treat them, but I do have a tendency to forget to use bookmarks and then have to spend way too much time remembering what page I was on later.
X Marks the Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book
From the shelf I can see, Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill.
Your Latest Book Purchase
That's a good question. I've been on somewhat of a book-buying ban lately, but I'm sure the last book I bought was at a signing.
ZZZ-Snatcher Book (last one that kept you up way too late)
All of them? Is that an answer? No? Then probably Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.
What are some of your answers? Do we have any in common? If you've done this survey, please leave me links so I can see your answers!
