The ask a reader tag

Hey everyone! 

So, vbs went like this; 

Olive: thrived

Ivy: hung in the back and survived

And camp went like this this;

Olive: tried to survive

Ivy: thrived

My social battery was MAXED OUT in like 3 days, but a stomach bug gave me an excuse to spend half a day alone in my dorm, so that gave me the energy to finish the week running (why would i run) at a swift walk. 😁

And vbs was super fun, but I'll talk about that and camp later, because today I'm doing the Ask a Reader Tag by the lovely Charis!

(the image above is hers, isn't it beautiful?)

And so we go!

1. What sparked your love for reading?

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know. I've been devouring books for as long as I can remember.

2. Where do you get your books?

The library, or I ask for them for my birthday and Christmas, or if there's any good ones left on the $5 a box day at the library book sale.

3. Where do you read?

I prefer this big love seat we have, it's a used to be white with faded pink rose clusters on it. When I look at it through other peoples eyes, it's hideous, but its soo comfy. 😊

4. When do you read?

WHENEVER.

I start it in the morning when I get up, (or the afternoon) and I don't stop reading it until bedtime, (10:00pm) or if it's really suspenseful or I'm almost done, I'll turn on my small light and either finish it, or read until 11:15-11:30 because them I'm too tired and I have to stop. 

Hey, I get up at 6:00am.

5. What genres do you read?

Fantasy, fantasy, and fantasy. But I'll read some historical fiction, and I've started checking out an occasional sci-fi from the library. I prefer my sci-fi as movies/tv shows, but it can make some good books. (check out The Last Day on Mars! such beautiful writing😍)

6. What are your favorite childhood reads?

I remember eating up the American Girl books, as well as Percy Jackson, and I loved listening to my mom read Narnia, though I didn't like reading it myself.

7. What are your favorite books?

You asked for it....

(in no particular order)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Keeper of the lost cities, Eragon, the Rangers apprentice, Homeless bird, The Missing, Pendragon,  The hunger games, Harry Potter, the Hobbit, Lord of the rings, Wings of fire, Fablehaven, the Star of Kazan, Journey to the river sea, A Wrinkle in time, Where the mountain meets the moon, Shadows and Secrets, and The Last Day on Mars are all I can think of right now. 😛

8. Do you read fast or slow?

Fast. I mean, I tried to be slow when I was re-reading the Eragon series recently, but I still finished the biggest in 2 days, lol. 

9. Do you set reading goals? What are they?

Nope.

10. How do you track your reads?

I don't. Why bother? 

11. Do you binge-read?

Does binge-reading mean reading a book in a day, than reading its sequel the next day, and then the next book the next day, and so on? Because if yes, than I binge-read as much as possible.

12. Do you fall in love with characters?

Ohhh yes. Very much yes. 😄 

13. Do you buddy read?

Not really. (but then, I have a very shaky definition of what 'buddy reading' is)

14. Do you re-read?

Yes! A very large portion of my reading is re-reads. 🙂

15. What's the best thing about being a reader?

Hmm. I think the best part is being able to get to know these people, these characters, to get a peek into their worlds and their minds, and go on their adventures with them. And even when they're labeled 'fiction' it's not fiction to me. 
....which my siblings use in their arguments on why I should be sent to the loony bin. *sigh* I need my back up. Why do my fellow book dragons live so far away? My siblings are too numerous and too fast to eat without back up. 😂  

I shall tag anyone who thinks 'book dragon' fits us much better than 'book worm'
