NY by the Book Tag

Hey, guys.  I have been tagged to do a book tag today, created by KingdomBookBlog.  Please show some love to Zainab@TeenBookLit101 who tagged me…

Let’s start, shall we?

---

1. WHAT BOOK IS ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND NOW?

Currently, I am reading The Portal to Kerberos by Michelle Madow.

2. WHAT WAS THE LAST TRULY GREAT BOOK YOU READ?

I’d say that would be the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare (I’ve read books 1 to 4).

 

Also, Craving Beauty by Jennifer Silverwood.

3. IF YOU COULD MEET ANY WRITER – DEAD OR ALIVE – WHO WOULD IT BE? AND WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?

I’d love to meet Josephine Angelini as she wrote my most beloved series, the Starcrossed series.

 

4. WHAT BOOKS MIGHT WE BE SURPRISED TO FIND ON YOUR SHELF?

There aren’t really books on my shelf that would surprise many people.  Maybe my nutrition book?

5. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY?

By creative choice of my own.  I do not have a specific organizational process.  Generally the books I absolutely love are at the top and the rest lower down.

6. WHAT BOOKS HAVE YOU ALWAYS MEANT TO READ AND HAVEN’T GOTTEN AROUND TO YET?

There are two whole piles of books that I just haven’t gotten to reading yet, and really want to.  The series The School for Good and Evil are at the top of my list to read, yet I still haven’t even added them to my want to read list.

7. DISAPPOINTING, OVERRATED, JUST NOT GOOD: WHAT BOOK DID YOU FEEL YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LIKE BUT DIDN’T?

The Twilight series.  There was a huge hype around this series at that time and I chose to read the books before I watched the movies.  I did enjoy the books, but it wasn’t nearly as good as the hype made over them, intended.

8. WHAT KIND OF STORIES ARE YOU DRAWN TO? ANY YOU STAY CLEAR OF?

I am drawn to supernatural, fantasy, fairy tale retellings and dystopian novels and series.  I tend to stay away from purely romance novels.

9. IF YOU COULD REQUIRE THE PRESIDENT TO READ ONE BOOK, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Damn, I have no idea?  I guess I would have to say something in the line of the Hitler history, so that we can ensure something like that does not ever happen again?

10. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO READ NEXT?

I really want to finish reading the last two books in the Mortal Instruments series.

And also The Girl in Between by Laekan Zea Kemp.

That’s it for this tag.  Phew, I really had to think about some of these questions.  Thank you again for tagging me, Zainab.
