3. Give 11 questions of your own for people to answer
 4. Tag 11 people

1. Favorite form of a book? I prefer physical books because ebooks normally give me headaches, and hardcover because I have flashbacks of my mom bending all my paperback covers to hell and back.

2. Favorite book recommended by a friend? Not really “recommended” so much, but my fiancee let me borrow The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg because they weren’t reading it, and it was so captivating and just UGH I love it! HEAVY TOPICS if anyone is thinking of reading it, might be a lil triggering.

3. Favorite book recommended by a teacher/other adult: Call Me Maria by Judith Ortiz Cofer. Given to be by my sixth grade teacher, who recognized the similarities between myself and Maria and, like Maria, just wanted me to find my place in the world and bloom.

4. Next book on your TBR? The Chaos by Nalo Hopkinson or Racing the Dark by Alaya Dawn Johnson, whichever compels me more when they arrive.

5. Best book you’ve read in 2016? I sadly have not finished a whole book this year, thanks to work, school, and mental health. *crosses fingers* hopefully that’ll change!

6. Who got you into reading? I think I mostly have elementary school to thank for that. Kids hated me, I hated them, so I’d escape to the library every chance I got. I discovered The Baby-Sitters Club Books, fell in love with reading, and never looked back.

7. A book you’d recommend to people who don’t read that often? If you like slow-build, Howl’s Moving Castle. If you like immediate drama, The Immortal Circus.

8. An understated book? The Immortal Circus. It’s seriously a phenomenal trilogy and I’m shocked more people haven’t read it. 

9. An overhyped book you didn’t like? Good Omens. 

10. Favorite book cover? Shatter Me has a gorgeous cover!

11. Favorite genre? Fantasy (particularly urban and futuristic fantasy), Sci-fi, and horror (though I have a hard time finding good horror that focuses on fear rather than just lots of gore)

My Questions:

1. A book you thought you wouldn’t like that you ended up loving? 2. A book you thought you’d like but ended up hating? 3. Least favorite genre? 4. A book you refuse to read (and why)? 5. Favorite book-turned-movie? 6. Favorite author? 7. Favorite book starring a person of color? 8. A book that made you feel like you were dying when it ended? 9. Least favorite authors? 10. A book from your childhood? 11. Favorite quote from a book?
