Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:
I don't think I've read a book yet that has had a character representing a guy I'd have dated in high school.
But I think I wish that I had have dated someone like Cricket from Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins or Fenn from Starling by Lesley Livingston.

Important Moment In Your Reading Life:
Getting back into reading because of my Mom. She found Harry Potter and then Twilight. I had still been reading, but not as much as I did once she introduced me to these books. She was so in love with both series and I'd actually call her a Twihard. Her enthusiasm was contagious. I sometimes wonder what new books she would send my way if she were still here. I miss her.

I'm not into erotica - I do like slightly smutty, but not the extreme of erotica (though I am going to try Fifty Shades of Grey - we will see what I think once I finally break into the book - though it's been sitting on my shelf for months).

Reading Regret:
Forcing
myself to read books just to finish them. I had a hard time putting
books down when they just aren't doing it for me. I had a personal
agenda to finish every book I picked up, but I'm over that now as there
are way too many books out there and not all will be to my liking.
Series You Started And Need to Finish
(all books are out in this series):
I have quite a few... but the one jumping at me right now is The Goddess Test Series.

Oh, the Baby-sitter's club! I've probably read more of those than any other as well! How I loved them growing up. I have a feeling Cricket and Isla are going to be common answers in this survey. I picked Cricket but Longbourn for the book I can't wait for. I love what you said about your mom. So sweet. *hugs* I also hear you about *having* to finish a book. I'm still like that but I need to get over it. I just don't want to miss out on something that could get better! Sigh. Also, The Happiness Project is such a good read! I was surprised by it when I read it but I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteKaley! Thanks for stopping by. We have a lot in common apparently. :) I enjoyed the Happiness Project a lot, I keep wanting to go back and read it again. I even have sticky tabs in it for parts I wanted to remember.
ReplyDeleteOMG, The Deathly Hallows gave me a major book hangover too! I actually still have no re read that one because of that exact reason but I'm hoping to this year! BAHAHA... I love that you keep books in the drawers of my dresser; so do I! I thought I was the only one but at this point any place will do, lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL I thought I was alone in the books in dresser thing. :)
DeleteI actually buy ebooks of books I own. This way I can keep the book in perfect condition on my shelf, and have the convenience of the ereader. Great survey!
ReplyDeleteThat is a smart idea. :)
DeleteChrystal I'm definitely a new follower or more specifically a subscriber :D
ReplyDeleteI bought The Happiness Project but yet to read it but I love the sound of it, I'm going through some hard time and I thought that I'd try this book.
Twilight and the HP series is also what made me go back to being a book worm, glad that these series were also life changing in your book reading life :)
I'm yet to read The Woman in White but loved the movie, oh so scary as it's so old school and the old horror movies look much scarier in my eyes LOL I do have a beautifully covered cloth covered The Woman in White, can't wait to read it.
And damn, I've been reading this survey for days now and didn't find any Coke drinker, but the last 3 blogs I've read just then are all Coke drinkers, thank goodness I thought I was the only Coke drinker in the book blogging world LOL
A-Z Survey
Angelica - I hope you enjoy The Happiness Project. I found some great things inside. I'm thinking about re-reading it or at least looking at the pages I put sticky tabs on. :)
DeleteWe seem to have a lot in common. Thanks for following... off to check out your answers now.
