I originally saw this tag from Amy’s Bookish Life (amysbooksishlifeblog.wordpress.com), and because the person I wanted to interview for this blog was busy this week, here we are. Feel free to check their blog out.
- Laying in Bed–A book you read in a day
When I was doing my 24 hour reading challenge, I read both Slay by Brittney Morris and Happyface by Stephen Emond in a day. Even though it was exhausting, it was a lot of fun getting so much reading done in so little time. I felt super productive. I’m tempted to do it again…
2. Snacking–A book that is a guilty pleasure read
I have to say any Jenny Colgan book. I tend to read very dark books but decided to read The Bookshop on the Corner and later The Bookshop on the Shore since I wanted something more wholesome. To be honest, even though some of it was predictable, I really liked them!
3. Netflix–A series you want to start
There are so many series I want to start but one on the top of my list is to reread the Percy Jackson series. I read the first series and really liked them but the second series was a miss for me. I’m hoping if I reread it, I’ll think differently. Also, because I read it around 10 years ago, I honestly don’t remember much.
4. Deep Clean–A book that has been on your TBR for ages
There’s quite a few but on the top of my head I’d say the Harry Potter series. I’ve read it before, but I planned to reread it when I turned 18 but my health problems got in the way. The only reason I can recall anything from Harry Potter is because of the movies and because of tumblr.
5. Animal Crossing–A book you bought recently because of the hype
I bought The Institute by Stephen King for 50% off at Barnes and Noble because I kept seeing ads for it on my feed. I also bought The Handmaid’s Tale as well. Both are also on my TBR for The Percy Jackson readathon and I’m very excited for both!
6. Productivity–A book you learned from or had an impact on you
The first thing that comes to mind is Slay by Britney Morris. I didn’t really know a lot about what it was like to be a minority really besides reading posts on Twitter so Slay was definitely an eye opener on what it was like to be a black woman. So much so that I almost cried.
7. Facetime–A book you were gifted
My friend Jay and I trade books and return them once we’re done so we can talk about them together and have our own book club. Happyface by Stephen Emond was one of those books.
8. Self Care–What is one thing you have done recently to look after yourself
I’ve been doing a lot of crafts such as coloring, extreme dot-to-dot pages, and finger knitting. I like feeling accomplished after finishing a piece.
9. Bonus–An upcoming release you are looking forward to
I tend not to focus on books coming out because my TBR is so big and I’m seriously behind because I stopped reading a couple years when I had serious health problems and was unable to. However I am looking forward to the new Percy Jackson show Rick Riordan is in charge of. I don’t watch a lot of shows, but I may make room for this one.
