Judging A Book By Its Cover...

My Mom did her first youtube video with me!

TPPT's A-Z Book Survey

Jamie over at The Perpetual Page-turner made a fun A-Z Survey and invited us bloggers to join! I mainly did it, because her reason for making this survey... resonated with me. I have said it a lot this year and I will say it again. I have been a BAD book blogger. I have been working non-stop on getting AttachaPack launched and it seems when I get home I am too tired to read or the only times I have "free time" are when I am out of town for the bazillion weddings our families seem to be having this summer or business trips to Vegas. I started to VLOGs on Saturdays to make my blogging fun, but that hasn't been going well... since again... I have NO time = ( I am most definitely NOT reading to give up blogging anytime soon and I know I am only going to get busier, however hopefully my busyness with just get less chaotic and I can you know get better at managing time and organizing my life.

Until then, I willl just do this fun survey!

Author you’ve read the most books from:

Oh this is hard... JK Rowling, Karen McQuestion.. Anna Godbersen ? Definitely hard.

Best Sequel Ever:

Damn, She is making it hard for me.... I will say Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo.. although, I am currently in the middle of reading it.

Currently Reading:

Siege and Storm By Leigh Bardugo

The Diamond of Drury Lane  By Julia Gilding

World War Z by Max Brooks --- I am reading this aloud to my husband at night

Drink of Choice While Reading:

Mainly Green Tea. Sometimes Coke. But Usually Green Tea. --Honestly, though those are just my drinks of choice in life as well. 

E-reader or Physical Book?

Physical book hands down!

Although, I use an E-reader for NetGalleys

Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:

If I was being honest. I would say no body... cause I didn't really date in High School or at all.

However, If this was an ideal world... my number 1 pick hands down is Adam Wilde from If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I mean he is so sweet and sexy and artistic. 

Glad You Gave This Book A Chance:

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead I was NOT into reading another Vampire book, but Mead's writing is PHENOMENAL.

Hidden Gem Book:

Asylum by Patrick McGrath and A Scattered Life by Karen McQuestion

Important Moment in your Reading Life:

Finding out their was a Book Blogging Community! Had I never discovered this, I probably would not have  become one myself.

Just Finished:

Sapphire Blue By Kerstin Grier

Kinds of Books You Won’t Read:

 Manga/Anime and I am not big on the Romance Genre and Dystopian Genres..

Longest Book You’ve Read:

Atlas Shrugged By Ayn Rand --  still reading it.

Major book hangover because of:

Vampire Academy Series and most recently Forever, Princess by Meg Cabot. I was just KIND of into the series until I read the last book and then I wanted MORE and I wanted it NOW!

Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:

What Remains By Carole Radziwill, that whole book is filled with quotes that give me the chills. BEAUTIFUL

Not enjoying reading MORE when I was younger and appreciating it!

Series You Started And Need To Finish(all books are out in series):

Pretty Little Liars Series. I stopped at the first four books... but I WANT to continue reading!

Three of your All-Time Favorite Books:

Only 3?! I can't that is too hard! I mean top of my head, with a gun to it. The Book Thief, Paper Towns and If I Stay!

Unapologetic Fangirl For:

Every author I ever meet. Although, it doesn't look like Fangirling (inside I am, but outside I am a nervous wreck)

Very Excited For This Release More Than All The Others:

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins.

Worst Bookish Habit:

Uhm I don't think I have one really. I guess I don't mind bending the crack on my OWN paperbacks. Depends though. 

X Marks The Spot: Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:

The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Parsons -- which is funny since this a book I took from my 5th grade classroom and forgot to return.

Your latest book purchase:

Frozen by Melissa De La Cruz... Although, I may have done it because I was told we would get a free book in  the mail... I never did receive that book..

ZZZ-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):

Sapphire Blue By Kierstin Grier
