17 Questions 17 People

Thanks so much @stationarystudy for tagging me! I’ve only ever done one of these before, and I love participating!! 

Nickname: Grace and Gracie are my more frequently used nicknames. I’ve got a lot though, so if any name is shouted in my general direction, I’ll usually turn around to answer. Just in case. 

Zodiac: Cancer sun, Taurus moon, Sagittarius rising. I had to look up my chart. I have no idea what any of this means, but it sounds pretty cool!

Height: 5’6” ish

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff!

Last thing I googled: Aside from my zodiac chart? The Köppen climate map for South America. I started a lively debate about the classification of Cfa and Cfb zones and needed to support my arguments with maps. 

Song stuck in my head: Taylor Swift’s Ivy and Honey and Tea (Acoustic version) by Mōzi. Highly recommend both of these!

Numbers of followers: 36! I’m a small account, but I love all of you guys. :) Thanks for sticking around! 

Amount of sleep: Roughly 8 hours?? Maybe?? I have no idea. (Is time even real anymore?)

Lucky number(s): 2, 3, 7, 14, 27, 55, 99

Dream job: It changes every few months lol. Right now, I’m really into paleoclimatology/deep time and (sustainable) architecture. (I’ve put my scientific diver dreams on hold until I can relocate to a more coastal area.) I think, ultimately, my dream career is one that allows me to utilize abstract thought and imagination regularly and isn’t confined to a single location (e.g. allows for travel). I’m still figuring it out! Lots of self-reflection these days. 

Wearing: Cozy, oversized sweatshirt, pink t-shirt that reads “Drink Tea, Read Books, Be Happy,” pajama pants feat. clouds, and the softest socks in the world. They’ve got little reindeer on them, trotting along across the tops. I love them!! 

Favorite song: Ahh how could I ever choose!! I’ve always had a soft spot for Clair de Lune (Debussy) and Main Title: Nemo Egg (Thomas Newman). Absolutely love singing along to Les Jupes by Charlotte Cardin and Stories Reminding Myself of Me by Mandy Moore. 

Favorite instrument: I can’t pick just one! Top four favorites: guitar, ukulele, piano, and kalimba.

Aesthetic: Light academia, dark academia, and cottagecore. Is there an aesthetic for the ocean? If so, that too. 

Favorite author: Currently obsessing over Madeline Miller (still). Rick Riordan is pretty great too imho. 

Favorite animal noise: Love this question! No one ever asks me this sort of thing anymore! I love dolphin noises and the sounds small dogs make when they’re just learning to walk and have too much excitement for their little bodies. It’s a combination of skittering across the floor, crashing into things, and small, delighted yips. 

Random: I’m doing the Reading Around The World challenge this year! My goal is to read one book representing every country. (Or, if one book covers multiple countries, I’m counting that towards the goal too.) I’m hoping that in learning about all of these exciting and exotic places, I can begin to feel more at home in my academic major. If you have any book suggestions, please send them my way!!

Sorry if you’ve already done this challenge! Here are the people I’m tagging, and I hope you all have an amazing day! @idk-what-name-to-use @learnfrenchwithchanty @your-local-darkacademic-cryptid @sentranced @thespeedyreader @yellowallflower @darkmacademia @fluencylevelfrench @universi-tea @myhoneststudyblr @achillesreborn @seraphiclanguages @langblr-life @curiosity-journaling @kamahina-studies @books-and-floralteacups @a-tale-of-dreams-and-nightmares

11 Questions

Thank you for tagging me @thelivebookproject!

 Rules:

Answer the 11 questions you’ve been asked

Nominate 11 other bloggers

Ask your nominees 11 questions

Let them know you’ve nominated them!

 Questions for me:

 How do you choose your books?

If I buy second hand I always buy by impulse! It sounds horrible but if it sticks out either by cover or by browsing the back I’ll just get it. Sometimes if I find a nice book in a horrible condition i get it anyway because I feel bad about leaving it where no one will buy it!

Do you buy a lot, or do you prefer the library?

 Both? I go to the second hand store a couple times a month to browse the shelves. I check out my library every week and the library online resources whenever I’m bored, so basically all the time! :)

How many books have you read this year?

 4! The Marrow Thieves, Crazy Rich Asians, The Last Wish and a Wonder Woman Comic!

 What is the worst book you read this year?

 None so far, I liked them all!

 Tell me something about your bookblr.

I post mostly about books I randomly (or not so randomly) find in my library’s shelves. There’s also a lot of cats, sometimes even my own kitties or foster cats! I use a lot of exclamation marks!

 Do you follow book releases? If yes, how (fb, twitter, personal following of some authors…)?

 I follow some authors that I know I like on facebook and follow releases here on tumblr!

 Do you read the book before the movie, or see the movie first?

 I try to read the book first but not having read it will not stop me from watching the movie!

 How do you write book reviews? (If you don’t write, tell me what you like to see in them, or how you would write them)

 There are a total of 3 reviews I’ve ever written so I can’t call myself a professional but I like a quick info what the book was about and then me rambling incoherently, that seems to be it.

 Ebooks yes or ebooks no?

 YES! I love my home library with my whole heart but I don’t know what I’d do on the run without the Overdrive app!

 Do you have a Goodreads account?

 You can find me with this handy link! 

Blank gap -tell me anything you want: books you love, a book you rec me, how do you feel about my blog, anything at all!

 I’ll use this chance to steal the favourite fairy tale question! Mine is The Little Match Girl, I first read it in a very old fairy tale book that my grandmother owned and I always loved it.

  Questions by me:

 1.     What is your favourite fairy tale?

2.     What are you reading at the moment?

3.     Do you diversify your reading and if so how?

4.     New books or used ones? Or library?

5.     Tell us something about your local library, or your favourite library memory!

6.     One remarkable book you read in 2018?

7.     Do you read comics or visual novels? If so what’s your favourite?

8.     Tell us something about your blog!

9.     Reading or writing?

10.   Tea, coffee, or hot chocolate with a good book?

11.   Where do you read most often?

 BONUS QUESTION: What’s your goodreads?  (so I can follow you immediately!)

Questions By @books-and-floralteacups!

If you could have dinner with one author, who would they be? Mary Shelley. Not an easy answer, but I think dinner with her would both be hilarious and enlightening. 

What book would you recommend to everyone? I’m going to think outside my box a bit! Maybe one of the books about law that I started reading before university - the compact, simple ones. It’s become increasingly apparent to me that a lot of people just aren’t aware of their rights - maybe I’ll make a separate post on this!

Which genre do you usually not read? Horror. I get creeped out easily, but I do admire it as a genre on both a bit of a morbid level and because I think it’s no mean feat to scare people with words - while I don’t agree with the assumption that only visual media can evoke fear, I do think it takes some particular skill to hit the mark (but the same can still be said for movies & television).

Which book made you realize that you love reading? The Harry Potter books started the journey, but reading A Brave New World actually made me realise that I love ‘reading’ in itself. Beforehand, I was reading fantasy books almost exclusively, but I began to branch out  and realised that I wasn’t reading just for the type of stories, but because reading could introduce me to totally new worlds.

Do you write notes in your books’ margins? Do you annotate your books? Only textbooks, I can’t bear to write on book pages. I could never break off from reading to annotate either. 

If you could have one book adapted perfectly for the big screen, which book would you choose? Who would your dream cast consist of? Big question! You say ‘perfectly’, so I say perhaps the Sabriel series by Garth Nix. I read them so long ago, but they had such an altogether different style from the fantasy books I had read. My dream cast would be no-one famous, and I always imagined Sabriel to be a WoC, so that’d be important to me.

Have you ever been to an author meet and greet? Once! Gayle Foreman signed my copy of If I stay, long before it became a teleivison show.

Audiobooks, e-books, or physical books? I haven’t really engaged with audiobooks, mainly because listening to anything for long makes me fall asleep. I like e-books on my Kindle and physical books equally.

Hardbacks or paperbacks? Paperbacks, unless the hardbacks are quite light and small - I have weak arms. 

Do you use a library? University library for studying, but not so much loaning books. I’m trying to use local libraries more.

Dog-ear book pages or nah? Nah. I (rarely) use a bookmark, or I hope to remember it (and then I don’t)

Thank you so much for asking me! If anyone wants to engage with me on any of this word vomit, please do.

My 11 questions:

Do you share your love of books with other family members?

What was one book that particularly stuck with you, and why?

Do you like to learn about the authors & context around the books you read?

Do you prefer series or lone books?

Have you ever re-read a book and totally changed your opinion on it?

What are your opinions on book adaptations to movies (or other media) in general?

Do you have to read before you go to bed?

Are there any books that you plan to share with your children or any future generations in your life?

Where do you find the best recommendations for your next read?

Do authors’ actions in real life influence your opnions on their books?

Any favourite non-fiction books?
