Inspired by @PaperSwans and IneffableBibliophile .
A: AUTHOR YOU'VE READ MOST BOOKS BY?
Caroline Keene. Just because when I was in fifth grade I had a MAJOR obsession with Nancy Drew books. Also Rick Riordan and Lemony Snicket.
B: BEST SEQUEL EVER
It's funny how someone asks you about a good sequel and you forget every single book you've ever read.
C: CURRENTLY READING
Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling and The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funk.
D: DRINK OF CHOICE WHEN READING
If I'm reading a romance novel I love to drink lemonade for some reason. If I'm reading anything else either hot chocolate or iced coffee.
E: E READER OR PHYSICAL BOOK?
Most definitely a physical book. I grew up surrounded by them, and I think there's just something to be respected of a person who owns a lot of actual books. But tech books are useful and can be convenient...like for late-night reading after your parents tell you to go to bed😂.
F: FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU WOULD DATE
Do you want a ten page list?
But seriously. That's so freaking hard. Top three?
1. Remus Lupin (Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. But the Remus I'm talking about is the one in the AsgardianMarauder fic 'The Collision Theory' which also happens to be my favorite fanfiction...so yeah.)
2. Leo Valdez (Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan)
3. Marcello Forelli (River of Time series by Lisa T. Bergren)
G: GLAD YOU GAVE THIS BOOK A CHANCE
Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren. My dad recommended it so honestly I thought it would be boring. But it took me through a romantic, epic, time-traveling-filled 5 book series. It changed who I am and how I view the world and I'm so glad I read it.
H: HIDDEN GEM
The four Wingfeather Saga books by Andrew Peterson. I read each at least three times! These also sparked my love for reading. I highly recommend them.
I: IMPORTANT MOMENT IN YOUR READING LIFE
Two really stand out.
1. When I picked up Winnie: the Horse Whisperer by someone-or-the-other in fourth grade. That really sparked my reading interest and made me love books.
2. When I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. My parents didn't allow me to read it until my eighth grade summer and it made me overjoyed when I finally read it because I had been waiting five years to.
J: JUST FINISHED
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: the Original Screenplay by J.K. Rowling, The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, and Prisoner of Azkaban by (again) J.K. Rowling.
K: KIND OF BOOK YOU WON'T READ
Fifty Shades of Gray type. Also intensely scientific books lol.
L: LONGEST BOOK YOU'VE READ
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. The total word count for that book was 400,000. It's so freaking huge. I read it in 6 days DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND TRACK SEASON and TBH I'm proud of that.
M: MAJOR BOOK HANGOVER
The Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. That book was heartbreaking. Read it.
Deluge by Lisa T. Bergren. That book made me cry, which I rarely do while reading.
Also Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. After I finished it I wandered around for a week muttering Finnick's name repeatedly at random moments.
N: NUMBER OF BOOKSHELVES YOU OWN
Me personally: one medium sized bookshelf.
My family: around fifteen of varying sizes.
O: ONE BOOK YOU'VE READ MULTIPLE TIMES
I've read My Father's Dragon nine times.
Yeah, I'm obsessive.
P: PREFERRED PLACE TO READ
When I went on vacation to Colorado there was this quaint, old-fashioned pizza place by the water and some gorgeous, tall mountains. I loved reading there and it's definitely my favorite place I've ever read at.
Q: QUOTE THAT INSPIRES YOU/STANDS OUT TO YOU/GIVES YOU MAJOR FEELS FROM A BOOK
"Loyalty is only loyalty if one clings to it in the face of adversity." –Gabriella Betrrini, Cascade
"I loved him.
I couldn't pinpoint what made me so certain, but I knew it then, as surely as I knew my name or the color of the sky or any fact written in a book." –America Singer, The One
R: READING REGRETS
Not reading more in 6th grade.
S: SERIES YOU'VE STARTED AND NEED TO FINISH
The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer. I suppose they're sort of younger kid books, but I'm still technically a kid so it's fine.
T: THREE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS
1. Torrent by Lisa T. Bergren
2. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
3. Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
U: UNAPOLOGETIC FANGIRL FOR...
The Harry Potter series, the River of Time series, the Percy Jackson series, the Selection series.
V: VERY EXCITED FOR THIS RELEASE
Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. I've been waiting three years. Three. Years.
W: WORST BOOKISH HABIT
I always manage to crack the spine. It's heartbreaking.
X: X MARKS THE SPOT, PICK THE 27TH BOOK ON YOUR LEFT BOOKSHELF
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart.
Y: YOUR LATEST PURCHASE
Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan.
Z: ZZZ SNATCHER—BOOK THAT KEPT YOU UP WAY TOO LATE
I stayed up reading The One by Kiera Cass until 2AM. And one time I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep...so I read the Draco fanfic Last Slytherin by @lorentime from 3AM–6:30AM.

P.S. I've realized how much I talk about River of Time. I'm sorry. I just freaking love that series and Marcello Forelli.
