Bye,

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' 

🐲

A random post

(sing to the tune of 'do you want to build a snowman')

Rey: Luke?

Will you teach me to be a jedi?

come on, let's go and train

You never come out any more

teach me before Kylo gets away

You used to fight in battles

but now you don't

I wish you would tell me why!

Will you train me as a jedi?

I really really wanna be one

Luke: Go away.

Rey: Ok, bye....

********************************************

I made that up a few days ago, I'm still working on the rest. 😆

I'm so excited for the last jedi! I mean, please!

*scowls* Luke better have a good explanation.

But I'm not here just for star wars! My mom had a picture of me with Hazel's baby brother, and I've updated the post with it, and I'm also putting it here.

(Please excuse my siblings feet)

Isn't he so cute? 💙

Also, I couldn't decide what emoji to put on my face, because my face was a mix of the one on there and this one: 😴

But I went with the sunglasses. 😎 

It's raining right now. Nice and cool, but I can't walk up and down the driveway, eating lunch and talking to fictional characters in the rain, unless I want to get wet and annoy the characters, so I had to eat lunch on the porch, and chat there.

It was my mom and dad's anniversary yesterday. 16 years, wow. So to celebrate they went to bad daddy's the night before and left us. Again. We never get to go to bad daddy's! They have the best burgers ever!

But they took us to a park yesterday, and came with us when we went exploring down the creek, but we didn't get very far. Grown ups are SO. SLOW. But bringing them meant also bringing Princess, and she's having her frustrating fours, mixed with being spoiled baby of the family, which means she has tantrums over everything. Which means they had an excuse for being slow.

Also, when they were at bad daddy's, a friend from church came over to help watch us, because I can't watch all of them by myself, and she brought her husband and three small kids, and taught us how to play spoons. (we didn't use the letters though)

So we were playing spoons, and I thought, 'what if....' and I started laughing, and when the other kids asked what was so funny, I told them what I had just thought of. I had imagined fictional characters playing spoons, like Sophie teaching her friends in keeper, the ninja from ninjago, (one of the funniest, oh my word) Darth Vader and some nervous imperial officers, and a group of jedi quietly playing in the jedi library. Oh, and the Avengers, I think the hulk would trash the room if he didn't get a spoon. 😛 It was hilarious, what did you think of? 😄

We also had a huge thunderstorm last night, and a giant branch fell off and barely missed the side of the pool. Ivy said that she woke up in the night to an enormous crash, but I slept right through it. 😝

Well, I think that's it. Oh, and Charis rae is out, I will never get used to calling Grace 'Charis' *sigh*

Bye, from

What did characters did you think of playing spoons?

Was it absolutely hilarious? (of course it was)

What about the rest of the post? Anything to say? 

What about the song? What do you think should come next? 

Oh, and let's not forget Hazel's baby bro! Isn't he adorable?

Nightfall cover release!!! *excited screams*

Hail all keeper fans! 

Shannon revealed Nightfall's cover yesterday!! *Squeals and dies*

ISN'T IT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN?????

It's amazing. 😳

And here's the blurb. I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!!!!

Sophie Foster is struggling. Grieving. Scrambling. But she knows one thing: she will not be defeated.

The Neverseen have had their victories—but the battle is far from over. It’s time to change tactics. Make sacrifices. Reexamine everything. Maybe even time for Sophie to trust her enemies.

All paths lead to Nightfall—an ominous door to an even more ominous place—and Sophie and her friends strike a dangerous bargain to get there. But nothing can prepare them for what they discover. The problems they’re facing stretch deep into their history. And with time running out, and mistakes catching up with them, Sophie and her allies must join forces in ways they never have before.

In this spectacular sixth book in the New York Timesand USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series, Sophie must uncover the truth about the Lost Cities’ insidious past, before it repeats itself and changes reality.

It just looks so cool! I mean whut can possibly be happening???

I'm so exited.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I've made it the lock screen on 'my' phone, which I've started using more because of baby sitting, and I want to get this phone case, because, Sophitz. 💜

I also want something Keefe, because Keefe is mine. All mine. 😛

Anyway, I'm off to fangirl. Bye!

KEEFE. KEEFE. KEEFE. KEEFE. 😜
