===================================================

**** I basically switch between INFP and INTP 

INFPs are absolute idealists: they have values inside them which they really want to live by. This makes them good at encouraging other people's growth, but can cause them to be too hard on themselves. They can be shy and reserved, but they're incredibly passionate and intelligent individuals with an innate need to change the world.

i am: INFP - healer

Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin

Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables

Mary Anne from The Babysitters Club

Leonard Hofstadter from The Big Bang Theory

Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia

Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye

Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby

Lexie Grey from Grey's Anatomy

Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter

Frodo from The Lord of the Rings

Jane Bennet from Pride and Prejudice

Romeo from Romeo and Juliet

Marianne Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility

Bran Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones

i am: INTP - architect

INTPs are loners with a love of information and a knack for logic. INTPs are best at describing complex ideas concisely. They are independent, creative, and curious. They are basically the 'nerds' of MBTI; that is certainly not a bad thing.

Jack Bauer from 24

I googled it because of all your excitement earlier, but this post tops anything I’ve found

Don't you guys have it in the US, Rachel?

Hmmm. Now that I'm thinking about it, do we have it here in Canada? Or do I just buy it from the Asian store and not think about it. Must know the answer to this. 

No I think I remember buying one with french words, I'm pretty sure Canada has it (not sure at all lol)

This tag was created by suddenlylorna over on youtube, and I was tagged by ifyougaveagirlabook!

FLOUR: This is the book that was slow to start, but really began to pick up as you went along.

Q:A Love Story by Evan Mandery. 

MARGARINE: This is the book that had a really rich plot.

A Song Of Ice And Fire by George RR Martin. I don't think I have ever read something as long and complex as this series. 

EGGS: This is the book you thought was going to be bad, but turned out to be quite enjoyable.

Nexus by Ramez Naam. I assumed it would be a B-grade thriller with incorrect and implausible psychological tech. Little did I know that the author knew his shit. 

SUGAR: What is the sweetest book you’ve read?

Life in Outer Space by Melissa Keil 

ICING: This is the book that covered every single moment you enjoy in a book i.e happy, funny, sad moments. An all-around book

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.

SPRINKLES: A book series for a pick-me-up

I don't usually commit to a whole series as a pick me up, but I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline when I'm in a bit of a book slump.

CHERRY ON TOP: What has been your favorite book so far this year?

Saga by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples

I was tagged by readaroundtherosie a fairly long time ago, but I am now wrapped in blankets on a cold winter day so this is the perfect time :)

RULE 1: Always post the rules RULE 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 10 new ones RULE 3: Tag 10 people and link them to the post RULE 4: Tell them you have tagged them

On to the questions!

1) Series you DO NOT recommend?

Twilight is the only series I've read in its entirety that I would not recommend. There are also series where I've only read the first book the series, but do not intend on continuing reading the series, and, thus, do not recommend it. These include The Chemical Garden Trilogy, the Need series, and the Order of Darkness series

2) Are you giving any books for Christmas? If yes, what?

Not this year! Unfortunately...

3) Shortest read?

Probably The Tent, by Margaret Atwood. It's a short collection of super-short stories, ranging in length from only a paragraph to a few pages. 

4) Tallest book you own?

Mildly embarrassing but it would be the Dragonology, Wizardology, and Pirateology books that I was obsessed with when I was younger.

5) Favourite cover?

I love the classic Catcher in the Rye cover. Out of books that I own, I really like the cover of my Madame Bovary.

6) Books stacked on your shelf or standing upright?

Mostly standing upright. I should take a picture of my bookshelves soon...

7) One book at a time or multiple?

Multiple, especially if one of them is a long book which I can't easily carry around. 

8) Weirdest read?

Maybe The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov, in the best way possible. It's a satire of Soviet life in the darkest period of Stalin's regime, and it brilliantly features Satan and his crew-including the vodka-drinking, talking, black cat, Behemoth, as well as Pontius Pilate and Yeshua (Jesus) in ancient Jerusalem. I really recommend it, I don't think I talk about this book enough...

9) Hardback or paperback?

Hardback for the experience, but paperback for the price and convenience

10) Longest series?

I've read every one of the A to Z Mysteries, by Ron Roy, even though I was getting pretty old by the time the last few came out. That's 26 books!

My questions:

Book you are most excited to see as a movie (even if it's only in your dreams)?

One of your favorite book quotes?

Which literary character would you go on a date with?

If your life was a book, which author would you choose to write it?

What do you use as a bookmark?

If you could move to the country/land/time period of one book, where would you go?

Best villain?

One book currently on your wishlist?

Worst bookish habit? 

You get to meet one author. Who will it be?

I know a lot of people have done this already and don't want to do it again, so no pressure!
