I haven’t done a book tag in quite a while, so I thought it would be fun to do a tag today! I wasn’t tagged in this because I have no shame at all, rather I just found a tag on mylittlebookblog that I thought looked fun. Without further ado, let’s get started!
1. What was the last book you read?
At the time I’m writing up this post, END OF DAYS by Susan Ee.
2. Was it a good one?
Yes!
3. What made it good?
Although I read WORLD AFTER nearly a year ago, it was very fast paced and entertaining. Ee has a knack for writing amazing action scenes.
4. Would you recommend it to other people?
Yes! If you like post-apocalyptic books and sassy main characters, you may love this one!
5. How often do you read?
I usually try to read a few chapters each night before I go to bed.
6. Do you like to read?
Of course!
7.What was the last bad book you read?
I hate calling books “bad” but the last book that I gave a low rating was ESSENTIAL MAPS FOR THE LOST by Deb Caletti.
8. What made you dislike it?
It just wasn’t for me, I suppose.
9. Do you wish to be a writer?
Unfortunately, no. I feel like I’m just better with absorbing words than actually expressing them.
10. Has any book every influenced you greatly?
Of course.
11. Do you read fan fiction?
Nope.
12. Do you write fan fiction?
Nope!
13. What’s your favorite book?
SHATTER ME by Tahereh Mafi.
14. What’s your least favorite book?
Recently, IN COLD BLOOD by Truman Capote. (It just didn’t click with me.)
15. Do you prefer physical books or ready on a device (like a kindle)?
I do love my physical books but I read faster on a Kindle and it’s definitely more efficient.
16. When did you learn to read?
Around 5?
17. What is your favorite book you had to read in school?
PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER by Patrick Suskind.
18. What is your favorite book series?
SHATTER ME!!!!!!

I usually like book series, so I guess none.
25. How long does it take you to read a book?
Around three days.
26. Do you like when books become movies?
Depends!
27. Which book was ruined by its movie adaptation?
I feel like I can’t really answer this one because I don’t think movie adaptations are necessary to be absolutely identical to the book upon which it is based—a lot of authors who work as producers also say that books are separate entities from the movie or show counterparts, so I don’t know how to answer this one.
28. Which movie has done a book justice?
Possibly THE HOST!

Sometimes.

This was a cool tag to read through. Also now I know that you really really love Shatter Me. Now I feel compelled to read it. Also, 3 days is a great amount of time for reading. I usually need a week myself since I don’t have lots of reading time.

Interesting book tag, I had not come across these questions before. Some of them flowed together and others were jarring. I frequently read a book in just one day so I guess I’m a really fast reader!

I loved this book tag! Thanks for sharing. It helped to share more about you in an fun way.
While I agree To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic, I’d like to see schools incorporate more contemporary books in their curriculum. My cousin mentioned he had to read To Kill a Mockingbird this summer. I was assigned that same summer reading 16 years ago. My mom chimed in she had to read in it school too. There are so many amazing books being published all the time. I wish schools would make a more conscious effort of keeping up with contemporary literature.
