So go check out their blogs!

This tag is called the #IDareYou Book tag. So I dare :)

The Hunger Games. Everyone is raving about them and me? I found them horribly depressing, and really, really violent.

4. Book You Keep Telling Yourself That You'll Read, But Probably Won't?

I honestly have no idea what to answer for this question. I will give any book a chance. The only book I probably will never read are the Twilight books. Bleck!


5. What Book Are You Saving For Retirement?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why save books for retirement when you can read them now?


6. Last Page: Do You Read It First Or Save It For The End?

I used to skip over them but now I read them. Kiera Cass's acknowledgements are so funny!



8. Which Book Character Would You Switch Places With?

Ugh. Seriously. This is a really hard question to answer. Cammie from the Gallagher Girls series.

She is awesome. And she's a spy!  (plus Zach!)

9. Do You Have A Book That Reminds You Of Something Specific In Your Life?

Not really but when I look at the book I will remember when I read it.

February 2017, I read Heartless. And cried in the bathroom for 20 minutes.

10. Name A Book You Acquired In An Interesting Way?

Well, Kat has let me borrow a ton of books from her. But the twist is, she borrows them from the library and then gives them to me. (and I don't think your supposed to do that)

11. Have You Ever Given Away A Special Book To A Special Person?

I would never give away any of my babies!!!!!! For me to give one of my books away, that person would have to be very special.

12. Which Book Has Been With You The Most Places?

I can't read in the car, because I will get carsick. I do bring books with me when my family goes on long car trips and I read them in the hotel room. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan has been with me the most times.

13. Any Required Reading That Was Bad In High School That Wasn't So Bad Two Years Later?

I'm still in high school so that would be a problem. So far every book I've had to read for school I have picked out. (#homeschoolrocks)

Bibliophile Tag!!!!!

Hello everyone!

I was tagged by Catherine at from the Rebelling Muse to take the Bibliophile Tag.

So here we go!

The rules are:
Link back to her and tell her you answered her questions.
Check!

And to share with other bloggers, which I will do at the end.


1. What is your favorite fantasy novel/series?
Honestly, Catherine, you have no clue how hard it is to pick just one. So I won't!! :P
My top picks are Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Heroes of Olympus, and the
Lunar Chronicles. My favorite novel is Heartless by Marissa Meyer. All really great reads!


2. What is your favorite historical novel?
The Virginian by Owen Wister. This book has just the right amount of wild west, romance, sarcasm, and wit to satisfy anyone.


3. What is your favorite contemporary novel?
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer. It's a really cute story. There's a sequel but it's not as good as the first one.


4. What character/book best describes your personality?
The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery. It's so whimsical and pretty. I love it!!!!!!!!!!


5. What is your favorite book character of all time?
Ugh. This is hard. It changes from time to time after every new book I read. So right now, it would be Cath from Heartless.


6. What is your favorite author?
Jane Austen, hands down.


7. Do you judge a book by it's cover?
I hate that I do it but I have a better chance of reading it when I see it's cover. I usually read the blurb first and if I like it, then I read it.

8. Paper books, ebooks or both?
Both!


9. Have you read a book you didn't like?
Of course! I read the Hunger Games and trust me when I say, the books are more violent than the movie.


10. Who is your favorite book villain?
Javert from Les Miserables. He is horrid.


Those were my answers for your tag, Catherine!!

I tag:
Maria at Attic Treasure Chest
Naomi at Wonderland Creek
Natalie at Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens
Olivia at Meanwhile, in Rivendell


Have fun guys!

Love,
-Lia
