Stolen from The Book Nut
1. Do you get sick while reading in the car?
Ash-
Incredibly... I get car sick just by looking at my phone in the car. Sad day.
Jenn-
I have never been able to read in the car. I can barely ride in the car without getting carsick. Thank goodness for audiobooks.
2. Which author’s writing style is completely unique to you and why?
Ash-
Hmmm. That's really hard for me. I know one of the authors who I love, whose books are never written the same to me, is Kevin Brooks.
Jenn-
Marissa Meyer. I just love her diverse and honest characters...even though they are fantasy.
3. Harry Potter Series or the Twilight Saga? Give 3 points to defend your answer.
Ash-
Harry Potter. And I really don't think I need to defend it. But I guess I can by saying one thing. There's no Bella Swan in Harry Potter
Jenn-
Twilight. I don't have good points, I just like them I love vampires, I love the way the books made me feel when I first read them. The ending is just so happy.
4. Do you carry a book bag? If so, what is it in (besides books…)?
Ash-
I mean I carry a purse. I keep books in it, and a notebook and a pen and my wallet and some lotion and... Well basically anything I can fit in there I do.
Jenn-
No book book, just my purse. although many times there is a book and a kindle in the purse. So I guess that is a book bag. Other than that there is my reading notebooks, my pens, my wallet, my phone, and keys. That is about it.
5. Do you smell your books?
5. Do you smell your books?
Ash-
Sometimes. It depends if they're old books or not.
Jenn-
What kind of question is this. Of course I smell them... Doesn't everyone?
6. Books with or without little illustrations?
Ash-
With!! I love little illustrations.
Jenn-
Huh never thought about this. I really don't have a preference. I just like that it's a book with words and a story.
7. What book did you love while reading but discovered later it wasn’t quality writing? (Ex. I read Twilight before I read HP and thought the writing was amazing but read HP and now think Twilight is a little bit of a joke.)
Ash-
I feel like a lot of books that I read when I was a teenager are that way. I recently have re-read a lot of books and just... didn't enjoy them like I did then.
Jenn-
I don't think I can answer this. I don't really understand what is meant by quality writing... I mean there are many books I read that the writing isn't up to literature par from the past... but if I enjoy the book something about the writing I enjoyed. I really enjoyed Twilight and Harry Potter. The writing is different but I don't think there is anything wrong with the writing in either book.
8. Do you have any funny stories involving books from your childhood? Please share!
Ash-
I don't really have any funny stories per say. I used to get grounded from reading though when I was younger.
Jenn-
Nope can't think of any. Well except once when I was in junior high... I was reading on my living room couch. I was all alone and I was reading a scary book... well scary at the time. I think it was a Christoper Pike book. My parents had come home and when they opened the door it scared the crap out of me. I was so into the book and didn't hear their car or their talking, really anything except them opening the door. I threw the book, screamed, and fell off the couch. No more scary books while home alone.
9. What is the thinnest book on your shelf?
Ash-
Probably my shadow children books.
Jenn-
hmmm... The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
10. What is the thickest book on your shelf?
Ash-
Probably either my complete Edgar Allen Poe book, or my grimm fairytale book.
Jenn-
The Tea Rose
The Tea Rose
11. Do you write as well as read? Do you see yourself in the future as being an author?
Ash-
I like to write, mostly poetry. I'd love to be a published author but I'm not good enough at keeping up with my stories.
Jenn-
I have ideas and it seems like a thing to do, write it down. I don't think I am good at it though. The writing part.
12. When did you get into reading?
Ash-
When I was little. I can't really say what age. But when I was little lol.
Jenn-
I can't remember a time I didn't like reading.
13. What is your favorite classic book?
Ash-
Animal Farm, The Outsiders, Little Women. That's about it.
Jenn-
The Outsiders and To Kill a Mockingbird
14. In school was your best subject Language Arts/English?
Ash-
Yes!
Jenn-
I was good at math and History. I was okay with English better at Literature Arts.
15. If you were given a book as a present that you had read before and hated…what would you do?

Exchange it probably.

Say thank you and then see if I knew someone who would enjoy it.
16. What is a lesser known series that you know of that is similar to Harry Potter or the Hunger Games?
16. What is a lesser known series that you know of that is similar to Harry Potter or the Hunger Games?

Uh. The Call?
Jenn-
Really can't think of any. All books are unique to me.
17. What is a bad habit you always do (besides rambling) while blogging?
Ash-
I usually don't put enough. I think I can say a lot and then my brain fizzles out and I got nothin.
Jenn-
Keeping up on it all. The posts, the commenting, the reviews. It's hard to keep up and not lose focus.
18. What is your favorite word?
Ash-
Fieto! If you've seen 22 Jump street you'll understand.
Jenn-
I am not sure I have a favorite word.I do call others nerd a bunch. So maybe nerd.
19. Are you a nerd, dork, or dweeb? Or all of the above?
Ash-
More like a geek...? I guess Nerd?
Jenn-
Nerd and Geek which geek is not the list I know. But I am between a nerd and a geek so maybe a Gerk???
20. Vampires or Fairies? Why?
Ash-
Uh... Fairies?
Jenn-
If I have to choose I guess faeries.
21. Shapeshifters or Angels? Why?

Ash-
Uh... How do you compare those? I guess shapeshifters?
Jenn-
Shapeshifters???
22. Spirits or Werewolves? Why?
Ash-
What kind of questions are these??? What kind of spirits?
Jenn-
I don't liek these questions. Werevolves I guess. I don't like to be haunted.
23. Zombies or Vampires?
Ash-
Zomzoms
Jenn-
I guess it depends what kinds of vampires are we talking about. Buffy the Vampire vampires or True Blood or Vampire Diaries or Twilight. I mean there are so many variants. Is this questions gearing towards living with them, hunting them, or being friends with them. These are the questions I need answered.
24. Love Triangle or Forbidden Love
Ash-
Neither.
Jenn-
Not bit on either. I personally like hate to love or long time friends to love.
25. AND FINALLY: Full on romance books or action-packed with a few love scenes mixed in?
Ash-
Action packed with a few love scenes.
Jenn-
Somewhere in between.
I love Marissa Meyer too! Her writing style is awesome. I'm also obsessed with Tahereh Mafi's writing style... she writes so lyrically and poetically.

Wow, this tag is giant. I love’s Ash’s answer to #3. I’m not a fan of Bella Swan, so I’m always happy when she’s not in books.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Love triangles and forbidden love are very overused at the moment, I love Love-Hate relationships they're so funny and different from Instant Love (when done right).
