Just a few of my favorite things


1) Favorite childhood book(s)?
Really anything Dr.Seuss (when I was very very little). However as a teenager I was a big lover of The Diary Of Anne Frank. I have read it at least six times one summer. I was also loved The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

2) My book reading rituals…

I love to curl up with my Hello Kitty fleece blanket, a steaming cup of peppermint tea with honey in my Owl mug. It also has to be completely silent.

3) Favorite book I read in 2013?

Hands down City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I was behind the times on reading it. But once I started I could not put it down and devoured all the books quickly. Now I must wait until April for the final book of that series. 

4) What am I currently reading?

I am currently reading Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. I have been slow to finish it up because I am currently working on my masters degree and have no time to read ;(

5) What’s on my TBR list for the holiday break?

I will be finishing up Clockwork Princess and starting I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai.

6) What two books are on my book list?
 
I actually have quite a few; my most immediate buys would be The Bookman’s Tale by Charles C. Lovett and The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan.

7) Favorite book turned Movie?

Catching Fire. I loved the book and the movie was exactly what I imagined. Can’t wait for Mockingjay.

8) Favorite book fandoms…

I have such a huge love for Harry Potter. I love love love those books and JK Rowling is my idol. My second favorite is definitely Mortal Instruments. Jace Wayland is my book boyfriend lol.

9) One book I would recommend to others?
This is a hard one. I would have to say Sex God by Rob Bell. That book makes you think about relationships, sex and religion a whole new way. I am always inspired by Bell’s work.

10) One book that has been unread on your shelves for years?

Great Expectations. As much as I love Dickens I have never read this book but it is on my priority read list for 2014!
