Author you’ve read the most books from:
According to Goodreads I've read the most books from Cassandra Clare, 11 in total. I've read all her books until now (The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, The Bane Chronicles) and they're all awesome!
Best Sequel Ever:
That's a hard one. There have been very many disappointing sequels (the feared sequel syndrome), but a few were amazing and sometimes even better than book 1.
I just read Never Fade, sequel to The Darkest Minds, that one was extremely good. (review coming soon!) Other great sequels are Catching Fire (Hunger Games #2) , Clockwork Prince (TID #2) and the Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2).
Currently Reading:
For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund. Not really loving it yet, it's a bit slow.
Drink of Choice While Reading:
Green tea (preferably with lemon) or diet coke. Yum!
E-reader or Physical Book?
Well, I always buy ebooks first since they're cheaper and handier to carry around. But when I really love a book I buy a physical copy, since those are so beautiful! This also helps keeping my bookshelf tidy:)
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:
Haha, I would date loads of fictional characters, but well, they are fictional. My favourite book boyfriends are Jace from TMI and Adrian from Vampire Academy/Bloodlines.
Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:
The Hunger Games. I wasn't really a fan of reading when I bought this book, but I'm so glad I did buy it. Ever since I read that book I haven't been able to stop reading!
Hidden Gem Book:
All our Yesterdays by Cristin Terril. Awesome new book about time travel!
Important Moment in your Reading Life:
Well, the first was rediscovering my love for reading with the Hunger Games. After that, discovering Goodreads. I got so many great recommendations from it and there I started posting reviews, which in turn led me to create my own book blog!
Just Finished:
Reboot by Amy Tintera (review also coming soon!)
Kinds of Books You Won’t Read:
Well, books that only focus on romance or very serious subjects I don't like reading. And there are also some genres that just don't attract me, like erotica, historical romance or new adult.
Longest Book You’ve Read:
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (900 pages). According to Goodreads, Harry Potter 5 and Game of Thrones are longer, but I read Anna Karenina in Dutch and that version has more pages than the English one:) It took me quite a while to finish, but it was absolutely worth it!
Major book hangover because of:
Clockwork Princess. It had such a bittersweet ending.. I love it, but it was still so sad!
Number of Bookcases You Own:
Only one :) I have three long shelves on the wall with my favourite books. My dad has an enormous bookcase with books I like to borrow very often, but I guess that doesn't count;)
One Book You Have Read Multiple Times:
Harry Potter, all of them. I think I've read them about 5 times now, if not more. And they get better every time I read them!
Preferred Place To Read:
In the living room. I don't like reading in bed and just in my bedroom at all.
Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
Okay, I have lots of favourite quotes from books, but just everything Dumbledore says is profound and awesome.
Reading Regret:
Reading Regret:
Not living in America. All those book conventions, author meetings, publishers.. not for us international peeps. :(
Series You Started And Need To Finish(all books are out in series):
When I like a series, I usually finish them all in a row, so there isn't a series that I need to finish. I do still have to read book 3 in the Chemical Garden series, Sever. I didn't like book 2, Fever, so I didn't really have the urge to finish the series.
Three of your All-Time Favorite Books:
The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments
Unapologetic Fangirl For:
J.K. Rowling. She's just an amazing writer and I really respect her for using a pseudonym for her new book.
Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:
Crown of Midnight. I loooved Throne of Glass and this sequel got so many great reviews, can't wait to read it!
Worst Bookish Habit:
Trying to scroll too fast in my e-reader, which makes it crash. And then it resets at page one of the book and takes loads of time to get to the right page again.. I need to be more patient!
X Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:
Die for Me by Amy Plum, a very good paranormal romance book:)
Your latest book purchase:
That would be the two hardcovers of Under the Never Sky and Through the Ever Night. Beautiful additions to my shelf:)
ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):
Pivot Point by Kasie West! I just wanted to know how it would end.
I had so much fun filling it in! I hope you have gotten to know me a little better now:)
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
