Summer Fun with the New Kid!
Saturday, August 24, 2013
Hi, Cince here. I'm new. Gina did this survey last week and thought it was lots of fun so I decided to give it a go. This A to Z survey was created by The Perpetual Page-Turner. To join the fun, make sure you link back to her and comment on the original post.
Author you’ve read
the most books from:
Lynsay Sands (medieval, regency and vampire romance)
Best Sequel Ever:
Anything by Eloisa James because she just keeps getting
better and better. I don’t even read the
back cover or inside excerpt before buying books by Eloisa James. I see her name and it’s in my cart.
Currently Reading:
Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone by Kat Rosenfield
Drink of Choice
While Reading:
I don’t like to eat or drink while reading because I don’t
want to smudge up the pages.
E-reader or
Physical Book?
Physical book and audio CD.
I behind the technology craze and am still trying to figure out my cell
phone features.
Fictional
Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:
I would love to have a best friend like Will Hanes from If
The Shoe Fits: A Contemporary Fairy Tale
by Sandra D. Bricker because he sticks by his heroine even when she is too
blind to see the truth.
Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:
Skinny by Donna Cooner and Close My Eyes by Sophie
McKenzie. Each of these excellent books
was not my usual style of reading material, but each blew me away unexpectedly
in their own manner.
Hidden Gem Book:
Bliss by Lynsay Sands
Important Moment
in your Reading Life:
When I read Cheylynne by Robin Carr. Up until that point I had read only Science
Fiction and Fantasy. On a break home
from college, I picked up this book and couldn’t put it down. I stayed awake till 5am the next morning and
read it all in one shot. That was the
turning point when I switched my main reading genre to historical romance. (although I have in the last couple of years
broaden my horizons further into other genres as well).
Just Finished:
Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick (Audio CD)
The Field by Tracy Richardson (Physical book)
Kinds of Books You
Won’t Read:
Normally I will not read zombie books – I do not like
extreme gore and cannibalism – but Ashes does include some zombie mutants and a
little bit of both of both of these items and I still enjoyed it.
Longest Book
You’ve Read:
The Bible (and yes, I mean cover to cover)
After that I would have to say The Passage by Justin Cronin.
Number of
Bookcases You Own:
My books are only in bookcases if I haven’t read them
yet. Once they are read, I either share
them with friends, family and coworkers, or put them in boxes for safe keeping
till I want to read them again (like if they have a sequel I will go back and read
the first books to remind me of the story).
One Book You Have
Read Multiple Times:
The DeMontforte series by Danelle Harmon (four historical
romance books about brothers during the American and French Revolutionary
period – all hot and steamy and full of love and laughter.
Preferred Place To
Read:
Audio CDs in the car
Physical books – anywhere I can find a cozy, comfortable
place all to myself for a while to curl up with a book.
Quote that
inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the
world cries and you rejoice.”
Chief White Elk (Oto Nation)
Reading Regret:
I regret not getting to book series sequels as fast as I
would like, but as I am currently reviewing books for a couple of sites, I feel
obligated to give those books priority over my personal wishes. However I have stumbled across some excellent
books this way that I know the sequels will definitely be added to my “to read”
list.
Series You Started
And Need To Finish(all books are out in series):
The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
Three of your
All-Time Favorite Books:
Bliss by Lynsay Sands
The DeMontforte series by Danelle Harmon
Lastly would be a tie between Origin by Jessica Khoury ,
Altered by Jennifer Rush and Stung by Bethany Wiggins
Unapologetic
Fangirl For:
Genetic mutation and android Science Fiction
Very Excited For
This Release More Than All The Others:
I can’t choose just one – there are so many excellent
choices coming up soon. Christmas will
be great this year.
Worst Bookish
Habit:
I keep getting more and more even though it will take
forever to get through the ones I already have – but I am not complaining. I love books.
