Questions:

1. Standalones or Series?

That is actually a tough question. I automatically want to say series, because I feel that’s the most obvious answer, to constantly live in the same world and always be incredibly excited for the next book even though it will be an extricating wait. But I love a standalone to sort of balance my range of books. With no cliff hangers and just be completely entranced in that book and satisfied by the end. Romance and contemporaries in particular. So Both I think.

2. You can be part of one book what would it be and why?

Twilight. Why because I want to be part of the Cullen family, being a vampire I know. But it was my favourite series when I was a teen and right now I’m binge reading the films. So the nostalgia and fangirling of this series is very real. Although I would be fighting with Bella for Edward, or could would I magically take over Bella’s body?

3. What is your favourite book genre?

Fantasy. If you asked me this a good few years ago I would have said Romance. I was a big contemp fan, it was all I seem to read. But during my blogging, my reading habits and reading genres has changed a lot. Which I love.

4. Do you have a favourite Bookish Character?

Aw. Now that’s a hard one, how can you ask that Steph!? Okay so I’m taking this as a type of bookish character. I love a feminist, feisty and strong main character. Stands up for herself. But then I also love a character who’s shy, struggling to come out of her box and in the book strives to become something more.

5. You go on an adventure and can have three companions who would you pick? (Can be real, fictional, dead or alive)

Diana Bishop from Discovery of Witches, Luna Lovegood and Feyre from ACOTAR!

6. Do you have a favourite shop to buy books from?

Well I buy them from my local Waterstones. But whenever I’m in a new town or on holiday, I will always make sre I buy a book from an independent book shop to support them.

7. Have you been to a book event? If so what one?

I haven’t been to large author lauch events or anything like that. But I have been to YA Shot in Uxbridge that I loved, that was my first big book event. But I’ve also managed a book event from my school as well.

8. Have you ever got star struck when meeting a famous person? Who was it?

Holly Bourne. She was/ is famous to me famous. I a super fan of hers and her books when I was growing up and now have truley meant something to me. So when I went to YA Shot, the main reason was to finally meet her.

9. What is your most anticipated release for 2019.

Always the new Holly Bourne book for me as well as Viper by Bex Hogan.

10. How many books have you read this year?

A terrible 36 books. My Goodreads Goal is 40 so it’s certainly very doable.

11. Kiss, Marry, Kill – ok the characters are… Cardan (Cruel Prince) The Darkling (Grisha) Legolas (LoTR)
