Bookish Fun: A to Z Tag

I wanted to post something a bit more exciting today, something different than my usual new on my bookshelf's or book reviews. So I googled 'fun bookish surveys' and the first result that popped up was one created by The Perpetual Page Turner. If you want to do this too, then I tag YOU! Link me in the comments or on my social media to your post so I can go and check it out :)

On y va.

Author you’ve read the most books from:

Sophie Kinsella, and I think Louise Rennison comes second!

Best Sequel Ever:

You know, I really enjoyed the sequel to Pollyanna, and still remember fond memories from reading it back in my early high school days. 

Currently Reading:

Nothing! I just finished a book yesterday, and I haven't chosen what I'll read next. 

Drink of Choice While Reading:

Tea or water. There's nothing better than water sometimes. Other times, there's nothing better than tea. Rooibos tea, specifically.

E-reader or Physical Book?

I PLEDGE TO READ THE PRINTED WORD.

Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:

Oooh. Actually, no one springs to mind. Literally. Can't name a soul. Also, I'm thinking about an ideal world, where someone would have actually wanted to date me in high school. 

Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:

Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone. Because DOY.

Hidden Gem Book:

A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty

The A to Z Book Tag! {video}

I saw JesseTheReader do this on his channel and it looked like so much fun so I had to do it too! 

No one tags me to do these things. But I do them anyway. 

HA! 

Book Mash! [video]

Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt TAG!!!

In case you didn't know... I am kinda addicted to YouTube. And I have been for many years.
I knew about the booktubers (bookish youtubers/vloggers), but I never really subbed to many. Recently though, I found this Aussie booktuber (her channel is LittleBookOwl) and she posted the Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt TAG and it looked like SO MUCH FUN. So I decided to do it too!
The last tag video I did was the Divergent Tag and that was months and months and months ago.
I hope you click play and enjoy my version of the Scavenger Hunt Tag! And if you've done it too, link me to it in a comment on this post or a comment on the video :)

P.S. Sorry I haven't been posting. I haven't had the time to read leisurely (which is a terrible excuse for not taking the effort to make the time...) and I've also been quite depressed and feeling extremely apathetic towards life.

But a few days ago I stumbled across polandbananasBOOKS... aka Christine on youtube. Her videos are passionate, hilarious and they've refueled me a bit and given me some book lovin' motivation to jump into the wonderful world of YA fiction (or just fiction in general) again.

Currently I'm trying to read Ulysses by James Joyce for my Modernism unit in English. It's really, really tough-going. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone in their right mind would voluntarily read this 800 page painstaking trek of a novel. 

Anyway enough of rambling from me. Let me know what you thought of the tag video! I love tags; they're so fun to do so if you have any other TAG rec's, throw them my way!

Anna from The Perfect Herald tagged me to do this!

Thanks Anna, I love doing these little challenges. :)

The rules:

-You must post the rules.

-Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.

-Tag eleven people and link to them on your post.

-Let them know you've tagged them!

Questions:
1.) Favorite author, why?
It's impossible for me to choose just one author to be my favourite. My top three would have to be something like: C.S. Lewis, Jaclyn Moriarty and JK Rowling. There are so many others though. I mention most of them in that topic in the '30 day book meme'. 

2.) Favorite childhood book, or fairytale?
Pepper Dreams by Colin Thompson is my favourite childhood book. It's pretty much a fairytale as well. 

3.) Favorite Poet? Why?
I don't have a favourite poet, I don't read enough poetry to have an informed opinion about the stuff. I mean, the only one that comes to mind really is Shakespeare. He was an okay poet, wasn't he?

4.) What book would you want to jump into and become the main character of?
Any book from the Ashbury High series by Jaclyn Moriarty (but preferrably Finding Cassie Crazy)

5.) Favorite childhood memory?
Probably school achievements, like being champion girl for my school's athletic carnival in year 6, or my musical achievements in choir or playing cello. 

6.) Why did you start blogging, what do you want to accomplish?
I just seized the opportunity to use this forum to express myself, and share some of my passions. 

7.) Favorite place to be? (i.e.- the beach, circus, bedroom, family gathering, park, woods, etc.)
New York City. But if I had to choose something local, probably... home. Just home. 

8.) Favorite movie? Why did you like it?
Zoolander. Also, Howl's Moving Castle. Also, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. 
They make me laugh, and more importantly, they make me feel good. Vague, huh?

9.) Favorite Season? Why?
Winter. This is because winter in Perth, Australia is rather tame. I just like the cold. I hate heat. 

10.) Favorite book?

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I have other favourites too. 

I'm not going to tag eleven individual people, I'm tagging ALL OF YOU! to do this quiz. 

Link me to yours in a comment down below so I can see your answers. 

There are supposed to be 11 questions, so add one of your own questions to the end! 

(I can't be bothered thinking up a whole new lot of 11 questions for you, lol)

ENJOY!
