@hensons tagged me for my 9 favorite movies. I’m flipping the script and here are the top nine movies that are getting me through the terror that is 2020.

Ooh, thank you!!!

6. Favourite television show of all time?

I said this in a previous answer, but BABYLON 5 WHATTA GOOD, IT COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

19. Name an episode from a show that you wish didn’t happen?

Ooh probably “Immolation” for The Expanse, if only because it ended a character arc (guess who!) in a truly dissatisfactory way for me.

42. What’s your favourite animated movie?

Anastasia!! Really, truly. I just think it’s gorgeous, even if I know just how inaccurate it is, also do not get me started on the stage musical, which I bought the libretto for just to hate read.

76. Are you a snacker/drinker during movies?

I’m a popcorn eater if I’m in a theatre, coffee drinker at home.

Addendum: answered here

Volume: Last book you dnf?

It took me some time to remember because I usually have no problems finishing whatever I read - I am either not too picky or just good at understanding whether I will like a book or not before picking it up - but I think it must have been A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I really hoped that eventually it would become more enjoyable, because there were interesting aspects, and I love it when magic and science are interwoven in fantasy novels, but in the end I did not even finish the first half of it because it felt too tedious for my taste, and the main characters and the relationship between them annoyed me too much.

Autobiography: Who is the protagonist you most relate to?

Richard Gansey III - reading The Raven Cycle at times felt very much as if Maggie Stiefvater had put a strange mirror in front of me, the kind that displays all my insecurities and fears and flaws perfectly.

3. Tamarindo candy (this includes those lollipops with spice on top, iconic)

Top 5 historical fiction novels (this is HARD): 

The entire Temeraire series has my whole heart, it’s historical fantasy but really the only fantasy elements are dragons, the rest is regular Napoleonic War stuff 

The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker is historical magical realism and it is !!!!

The Book Thief ruined my life 

The Song of Achilles and Circe aren’t what one might call historical fiction exactly maybe but they’re based off historical things so I’m including them
