- I'm currently reading "Pretties" by Scott Westerfeld.
2 )What will you read next?
- "Specials", which is the next book in the series.
3) What was your favourite childhood book?
- I remember loving when my mum read "The Brothers Lionheart" written by Astrid Lindgren. I loved a lot of H.C Andersen's work too. Oh, and there was a book called Marmelade Amalie! I think I loved it simply because it had my name on it.
4) What were your reading habits like as a kid?
- I mostly read when I was sad (which was a lot), but I was ashamed of liking to read, so I was kind of hiding my love for books.
5) How many books do you have checked out from the library?
- None right now! I have enough books here at home to keep me going for now :-D
6) What books do you have on hold at the library?
- None!
7) Do you have a bad book habit?
- I used to bend the corner on pages so I could remember where I got to, but then I finally bought a bunch of book marks!
8) Do you read one book at a time or several?
- Always one at the time. I get so confused having cracked open a few books at the same time. I also like to stick to a series, like read all the books in order, if I'm able to get all the books.
9) What is your favourite book you’ve read this year?
- It's a tie between Forever by Maggie Stiefvater and Delirium by Lauren Oliver! I absolutely adore the Wolves of Mercy Falls series, it reminds me of a love of mine, but Delirium also made me skip a heart beat and I got so into it!
10) What is your least favourite book you’ve read this year?
- Hmm.. So far Pretties is not impressing me. But else, I'm normally good at picking out books. And to be honest, I can't really remember what books I've read this year.
11) What is your reading comfort zone?
- Young Adult books, romantics, fairy tales.
12) How often do you read outside of your comfort zone?
- Not very often I must admit. I know I should reach out, but yet I'm stuck in my little fairy tale land.
13) What is your favourite place to read?
- On train stations, cafés, my boyfriend's nan's place. Frankly I can't go to the last mentioned place again and read.
14) Do you lend out books?
- Only to very special people. My mum and boyfriend are currently the only ones who are allowed to touch them.
15) Do you dog-ear books?
- That's the name of it! No, not any more!
16) Do you write in the margins of books?
- I recently started to write the year and season I bought the book. But else I don't like to mess them up.
17) What makes you love a book?
- As superficial as it sounds, the cover. If I like the cover, and fall in love with the story, I will treasure the book with my heart.
18) What will inspire you to recommend a book?
- If it makes me want to spend my entire day reading it, it's a recommendation worth.
19) What is the one book you will always recommend to everyone?
- That's a harsh one.. I don't know. I don't really like to recommend books to people. I will happily tell them which I enjoy, inspire them, but yeah. I guess the Harry Potter series, it's always a good read. Even though I've only read the first three books (Whoopsie!)
20) Is there a book you love that nobody else seems to?
- Well I know a lot of people love Twilight, but most people seem to bash it. I freaking adore those books. I don't care what people say, I love the books. The film versions are a bit bleh, but I absolutely love the books.
21) Do you read while you are: eating? Taking a bath? Watching TV? Listening to music? On the computer? On the bus?
- I do sometimes eat while reading, which I need to stop because I smear the food on my precious book, haha. I don't ever take baths. Sometimes the TV is in the background while I read, so yes I guess. 90% of the time when I'm reading, I'm also listening to music. I rarely am on the computer while I read. And I don't like reading while being in any kind of vehicle because I get extremely car sick.
22) What is your favourite genre to read?
- As I said earlier, anything in the young adult section, romance and fairy tales.
23) What genre do you rarely read but wish you read more of?
- I actually like horror and crimes. But I rarely take the time to find good books in those genres and read them.
24) What is your favourite biography?
- I don't read biographies, sorry.
25) What is your favourite non-fiction?
- This is like making a mother choose her favourite child!
26) Have you ever read a self-help book?
- Nope.
27) What is your favourite reading snack?
- Carrots or any kind of Cadbury chocolate. Unfortunately I cannot get Cadbury chocolate in Denmark. Sigh :'(
28) What is the most inspirational book you've read?
- "Glaspigen" (The glass girl) by Karin Dyhr and Marianne Holmen. It's about a girl who's after years of being in a family with an abusive dad goes down with a depression and develop self destructive behaviour. It gets pretty close, but it's really good. Unfortunately I think it's only in Danish.
29) Are there any books that have been ruined for you by all the hype?
- Not yet, but I'm a bit scared to read The Hunger Games. I have two of the books sitting in my bookcase, and I'm a bit.. meh.. about starting them once I finish the Uglies series.
30) How often do you agree with critics about a book?
- No, I need to read it myself before I can agree or disagree with anything.
31) How do you feel about giving negative reviews?
- It's harsh, but I have an opinion, and if a book disappointed me, I will speak out loud about it.
32) What book are you most intimidated to begin?
- As I just said, The Hunger Games.
33) What book are you most likely to take on vacation with you?
- Depends on what I'm currently reading!
34) What is the longest you’ve gone without reading?
- Uhm.. I would say... 3-4 months.
35) What is a book that you just couldn’t finish?
- I always finish books. It took me a good year to finish "Forever" by Maggie Stiefvater though.
36) What is the most money you’ve spent on books at one time?
- Uhm.. Maybe... £25-£30.
37) How often do you skim through a book before reading it?
- I don't skim through a book, but I always read the last page.
38) Do you keep books or give them away once you’ve read them?
- Keep them. Mine!!!
39) Are there any books you’ve been avoiding, or refuse to read?
- I really don't like non-fictional books. Or biographies. Maybe I've never given them a chance, but just the though bores me.
40) What is a book you didn’t expect to like, but did?
- "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. I had to read it for a school project and I actually enjoyed it.
41) What is your favourite guilt-free pleasure reading?
- I haven't got a clue.
42) What reading materials are in your bathroom right now?
- None. Does the back of shampoo bottles count?
43) What book do you most remember reading for school?
- A book called "7.a" by Bjarne Reuter. It was a really really strange book. And "Min ven Thomas" (My friend Thomas) by Kirsten Holst. Both are Danish writers.
