Do you have a specific type of reading material you prefer?

I'm a fantasy girl, through and through. Although i love a mystery, horror, and a bit of romance, YA fantasy tends to be the genre i lean towards more than anything.

What is a type of reading material you just can't get into?

Drama. Same with movies. No matter what i do, i just tend to get bored with the plotlines and predict a lot of the characters motivations.

 What are you currently reading/re-reading?

I'm currently obsessed with two series; the cruel prince, and a court of thorns and roses. I'm in the middle of the latter, and about the re-read the first. If that didn't make it obvious, I love the fae.

Favorite author(s)?

Probably still JK Rowling. Noone can get me as immersed in a scene as she can. Other than that is probably lovecraft.

Favorite book/other reading material(s)?

My favourite books at the moment are The Cruel Prince, and Game of Thrones

What book, series, and/or author would you recommend?

I would absolutely recommend any of Holly Black's works, i feel like she has a book for any demographic, and has such a unique understanding and grasp of the worlds she creates.

I tend to read lots of rom-coms, history related, horror/dystopian and things like that, but I'd try anything UWU I love just a good ol' normal book, but i do love me some mANGA. Currently reading Blood Bank and re-reading Diary of an Oxygen Thief. THEYRE SO GOOD HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH OF THEM 

Favorite author BY FARRRR is Stephen King, bc who doesnt love him ???? i also love Cassandra Clare <3 

My favorite books are probably the Mortal Instruments series and Misery

  1. Do you have a specific type of reading material you prefer? I love to read novels, plays, and short stories. Comics, as well.
  2. What is a type of reading material you just can't get into? Although possible, nonfiction is significantly more difficult for me to find appealing.
  3.  What are you currently reading/re-reading? Minecraft: The Island by Max Brooks. I originally purchased it ironically, because I thought it'd be funny that I actually bought a Minecraft book. If you've played Minecraft, however, I am sure you'd love it.
  4. Favorite author(s)? Erin Hunter and Tui T. Sutherland are the first that come to mind due to my favorite series over the years. I am sure there are a lot I'm forgetting, though. Shakespeare is one of my more recent favorites, actually.
  5. Favorite book/other reading material(s)? My favorite book, I have previously decided, is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Honestly, I have multiple favorites.
  6. Favorite series? Harry Potter and Wings of Fire
  7. Favorite genre(s)? Fiction - specifically fantasy or dystopian - novels appeal to me the most. I also adore historical fiction. However, I can find fiction books of most subgenres interesting.
  8. What book, series, and/or author would you recommend? It's Kind of a Funny Story is an example of a book that had really made me think deeply about my life and my thoughts of not wanting to live in it. Books that affect you this much and may possibly save someone is what I can recommend the most.

  1. Do you have a specific type of reading material you prefer? Not necessarily, I read both fiction and non-fiction, poetry and fairy tales and everything in-between.  But I tend to gravitate towards older works, the classics. I also read a lot of interactive fiction because I'm a loser; look up Choice of Games.
  2. What is a type of reading material you just can't get into? Teen romance ugh. And though I read lots of interactive fiction I can't stand dating sims.
  3.  What are you currently reading/re-reading? Re-reading the Harry Potter books and another book with a title so long and complicated I'll seem like a total snob if I write it down here.
  4. Favorite author(s)? I admire a lot of authors but I don't really have a favorite.
  5. Favorite book/other reading material(s)? 1984 and The Little Prince. Quite a contrast but both wonderful books.
  6. Favorite series? Harry Potter obviously.
  7. Favorite genre(s)? I don't care about genre much, just make it a good book.
  8. What book, series, and/or author would you recommend? Apart from the 2 favorites mentioned above, I want to recommend The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Wonderful book.
