Was tagged by @evilwriter37 !! Ty sm for the tag!!

Do you make your bed? Nope lmao. I always forget (plus I move a lot when I sleep so often it's like. Do i even have time to do this in the morning haha)

Favorite number? 81 (currently haha, it's my grandma's age!)

If you could go back to school, would you? I'm in art college rn which is a lot of fun!! I wouldn't want to go back to high school, tho. That wasn't a fun period of my life.

Can you parallel park? Bro I can't even drive.

Do you think aliens are real? I think so yeah! I think they're either on the same level of development as us, a bit further or a bit below. Undetectable, but still there. That would make the most sense to me!

Can you drive a manual car? I'm sure that if I put my mind to it, I could (is scared of other people on the road)

Guilty pleasure? Don't think I have one! Except if you count watching informative youtube videos about fucked up things from history as a guilty pleasure, haha.

Tattoos? I really want a httyd themed tattoo, but I'm terrified of not knowing how much pain it'll cause.

Favorite colour? I'm a blue girlie!! Mainly baby blue!

Favorite type of music? Folk music :)

Do you like puzzles? Yeah! I love little games to crack my mind on.

Any phobias? Planes, spiders, being perceived, the father person and his family, uncertainties, etc. etc. I've got many lmao

Favorite childhood sport? I did musical theatre for 11 years! It was the most fun time ever, I absolutely loved everything about it. Unfortunately, the teacher has since retired her school and changed careers, so I couldn't continue, but I still look back at it very fondly

Do you talk to yourself? Sometimes! When the thoughts are too loud.

Tea or Coffee? Tea! I hate coffee and am terrified of dependence on it.

What movies do you adore? It's pretty clear but I love How To Train Your Dragon! I also love both the Mamma Mia movies, the Avatar movies, Turning Red, the Little Mermaid, Tangled, etc. I love a lot of movies to bits!!

dating status: sorta kinda in a relationship...idk we’re feeling things out i guess

favorite color: purple but only light or dark not bright and also dark green

song stuck in my head: last kiss by taylor swift

last googled: rent musical 

last song I listened to: soundtrack 2 my life by kid cudi

dream trip: honestly wherever i can go but i’d love to visit new york and japan

Anything I want rn: 2 days to do nothing but read in peace and be left alone

An estimate of how many physical books i own: so these are solely the books I collected over the last 5 years, since that’s all I own at this point: exactly 194 (including the 6 books that I ordered yesterday) so not that many

Favourite author: incredibly difficult answer, so I’m going to give two academic and two not so academic answers. I enjoy a fun and easy TJR read, although there are definitely a lot of things I don’t agree with when it comes to her writing + I’m a Sally Rooney girl through and through. A serious academic answer would be Virginia Woolf and Shirley Jackson. 

A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: anything Colleen Hoover. Need I say more?

A popular book I thought was just meh: totally copying Silja here, but I also did.not.get why people went crazy over Where The Crawdads Sing. I also didn’t vibe with The Song of Achilles as much as I hoped I would. It was alright, but I didn’t feel it – Circe is Madeline Millers superior novel.  

Longest book I own: Just from looking at my bookshelf right now, it’s To Paradise by Hanya Yanaghara (which is also why I still haven’t managed to read it)

Longest series I own all the books to: I’m usually not a book series reader, which is also why I own only half of the Harry Potter books in English (not counting my moms full English collection). I also have the unfinished V.E. Schwab Shades of Magic series if that counts. 😅

Prettiest book I own: I’m literally so guilty of only buying books with pretty book covers. I’d say I'm most proud of my Penguin Orange Book editions of We Have Always Lived In This Castle and Ceremony, though. I mean, just look at those gold details! (not pictured: the deckled edges)

A book or series I wish more people knew about: one of my favorite books of all time, and a book I read every year at least once, is I’m Thinking Of Ending Things. It’s a psychological “thriller” novella. It’s incredibly subtle and uses its vagueness to evoke uncanniness in its truest form. There IS a Netflix movie about this book, so I guess it has become more popular. Other than that, All My Mothers is another unknown favorite of mine. It’s a study on mother-daughter relationships, family dynamic, illness, family trauma, and chosen families. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time (also, beautiful book cover if you ask me). 

Book I’m reading now: I’ve sadly been in a bit of a reading slump, mainly because I have too many options and somehow still can’t seem to find the book with the right content and pace for this very moment. But I technically am reading Memphis and listening to The Hunger right now.  

Book that’s been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven’t gotten around to it: literally half of my bookshelf? I can’t wait to read The Mercies (I want to wait for winter) though.  

Do you have any books in a language other than English: I got a bunch of German books since that’s my first language, but I despise reading German books because it takes me forever to get through them. My favorite non-English book is the latest Asterix comic in German, signed by the German translator who I worked with for a reading/Q&A that I helped host. 

last song: grown up by raffaella

last movie: howls moving castle

currently reading: outliers by malcolm gladwell for school :( and the lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring by j.r.r tolkien
