Hello all! I thought it would be fun for me to tell you guys a little bit more about my reading style. To fit this, I found the ULTIMATE BOOK TAG! (I found it on wattpad from the user DarkChickie). I hope you enjoy!
And now, onto the questions!!!!! :D
1. Do you get sick while reading in the car?
I don't really know. I did as a kid and haven't tried it in a while. But with that being said, I don't travel very far very often. The furthest I travel is about an hour, and that's really early in the morning and I sleep on the way there.
2. Which author's writing style is unique to you?
I really like the writing style of Ellen Hopkins. If you don't know, she writes all of her books in verse. I've read only one other book written in verse (I don't remember the name of it... Sorry). But there is a lot of tough stuff in her books. So, I would watch some reviews if you could be triggered by suicide and mental illness. (Note: I've only read Rumble by her, but own three more of her books and they are on my TBR to read soon!)
3. Harry Potter or Twilight? Give three reasons why.
Harry Potter, le duh! And my reasons are in the words of Mr. Stephen King...
"Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength, and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."
4. Do you carry a book bag? If so, what (besides books) do you keep in it?
I currently don't carry a book bag as of right now. But when I attended traditional school, I carried a Jansport that was purple with polka dots on it. Inside I didn't really keep anything besides school books and pencils and paper.... I'm kinda boring.
5. Do you smell your books?
Okay, if this was any other community this would be a weird question. But I know that most of us out there in the reading community smell our new books. C'mon, don't lie. You know you love the smell of a new book! :D
6. Books with or without illustrations?
I guess not. I haven't gotten onto the graphic novel band wagon and the other books with pictures that I like are like photographs. Not illustrations.
7. What book did you love whilst reading it, but later discovered the writing wasn't all that good?
This question made me laugh out loud. When I was in middle school, I LOVED The Clique Series by Lisi Harrison. Now looking back, I don't know why I liked it. It was really crap writing and had no real plot line. Oh well, it's in the past now.
8. Do you have any funny stories about books from your childhood? Please share?
I asked this directly to my mother. She said she has no idea and to ask my aunt instead. Thanks, mom.
9. What is the thinnest book on your shelf?
No Jumping on the Bed by Tedd Arnold. And the best part? It's signed!
10. What is the thickest book on your shelf?
Hmmm...... The Host by Stephanie Meyer, I believe.
11. Do you write as well as read?
I used to. I kind of fell out of practice I guess. That, or I have a giant writer's block!
12. When did you get into reading?
I started reading when I was about 5. But I didn't really start reading proactively until about fourth grade.
13. What is your favorite classic novel?
To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee and I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!!!
14. In school, was your best subject English?
Of course!
15. If you were given a book as a present that you had already read and hated, what would you do?
Hmmm.... I don't know. Most of the books that I receive as presents, I picked out myself. So I've never had that kind of situation presented to me. I guess I would smile and say thank you. ;)
16. What is your favorite lesser known series?
The fairytale retellings by Alex Flinn. I don't know if that's considered a series or a set of companion novels, but they're awesome!
17. What is a bad habit (besides rambling) that you do while filming?
Filming? What is filming?
18. What is your favorite word?
I had to ask my mom for this one. And so she suggested to use a therapy technique. Oh mother...... :)
19. Are you a nerd, dork, or dweeb? Or all of the above?
ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!
20. Vampires or Faires?
Hmmm... I haven't read many books about fae, so I don't think I'll be able to answer this one truthfully. At least, not yet. :)
21. Shapeshifters or Angels?
Same as the last question. Haven't read many books on either subject. So, I don't really know.
22. Spirits or Wearwolves?
Spirits.
23. Zombies or Vampires?
Vampires!
24. Love Triangle or Forbidden Love?
Forbidden love! I love to find out how the lovers make their love work and how they stay together!
And FINALLY,
25. Romance or Action with romance sprinkled in?
I'm not a big Romance Girl, so Action! :)
I hope you guys enjoyed this! I'll have another post up soon!
Type at you later!

The Ultimate Harry Potter Tag
Hello all! I just finished the Harry Potter series. It took me about three days to read the last one because I've fallen ill in the past few days so I've just spent my time reading. Anyway, I've found what claims to be the ULTIMATE Harry Potter Tag. And thus, I present it to you!
1. Favorite Book?
Hmmm.. toughie. I love them all so much. But my favorite one would have to be the Order of the Phoenix. I just find it packed with so much detail and foreshadowing for the books to come. But, if you were to ask me a few reads ago, this would have been different.
2. Least Favorite Book?
If I absolutely HAD to choose one I would go with the Deathly Hallows. I know, I know this is a lot of people's favorite book in the series. I guess for me that the reason this is my least favorite is because it's the end.
3. Favorite Movie?
Hands down Prisoner of Azkaban. I really love the way Sirius is portrayed in this movie. He's almost the way I picture him whilst reading.
4. Least Favorite Movie?
Whilst Order of the Phoenix is my favorite book, it is my least favorite movie. This is because they could have done so much with the details in the story and it just didn't meet my expectations.
5. Favorite Quote?
"His scar had not bothered him for nineteen years. All was well." :)
6. Favorite Weasley?
Ron. He's my fictional boyfriend! :D
7. Favorite Female Character?
Hermione. But, she's more than that. I don't know if its because in the movies she's portrayed by Emma Watson, but she's a sort of role model for me. I like to think that I am like her in school. I'm annoyingly smart.
8. Favorite Villain?
Hmmm... I guess I would have to pick Draco. You can see how much it pains him to be in the position he is in later in the book. And also, Lauren Lopez. That is all. ;)
9. Favorite Male Character?
The Weasley Twins. I can't pick between the two of them. As far as I'm aware, they're one entity. And they're just pure awesome!
10. Favorite Professor?
Professor Sprout. She's so down to earth with the students and there's not a lot of magic in her class other than the plants. Also, she's not afraid to get dirty. I've actually named a horse Sprout in her honor! :)
11. Would you rather A.) Wash Snape's hair or B.) Listen to Lockhart rave about himself for a full day?
I would have to pick wash Snape's hair. It wouldn't take as long as listening to Lockhart for an entire day.
12. Would you rather duel A.) An elated Bellatrix or B.) An enraged Molly?
Ooooo.... toughie. I would never want to cross Bellatrix, but Molly being angry? I'd probably pick an elated Bellatrix because she could possibly be distracted by how happy she is... Maybe?
13. Would you rather travel to Hogwarts by A.) Hogwarts Express or B.) Flying Car?
Hands down Hogwarts Express. I mean the Lunch cart alone makes me drool, but I think the chaos would be something rather entertaining to see!
14. Would you rather A.) Kiss Voldemort or B.) Give Umbridge a bubble bath?
Who comes up with these questions? I guess kiss Voldemort. It would be short and just picturing Umbridge naked gives me the chills.
15. Would you rather A.) Ride a Hippogriff or B.) Ride a Fireboat?
Firebolt. The speed would be awesome and I think it would be easier to control than a Hippogriff. Also, I fear that I am too clumsy and would easily fall off a Hippogriff.
16. Is there a character that you felt differently about in the movies?
Ginny. I think this is most everyone's answer to this question in our fandom. In the books she has so much more character and she's more out there in the books.
17. Is there a movie you preferred over the book?
Nope. All of the books were better than the movies. But that seems to always be the case.
18. Richard Harris or Michael Gambon as Dumbledore?
Richard Harris! He was much more like Dumbledore in the books. Also because of "'Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire' he said calmly." v.s. "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYYYYRE?!"
19. Top thing in the books that wasn't in the movies?
Peeves. Especially in the Order of the Phoenix after the Twins leave Hogwarts.
20. If you could remake any of the movies, which would it be?
Probably the Half-Blood Prince. Whilst Order of the Phoenix was my least favorite, Half-Blood Prince was too far from the book and I would make it closer to the books. I would include more of the lessons between Harry and Dumbledore and put in more Quidditch.
21. Which house do you feel you'd be a part of?
Ravenclaw. I love learning (my mom always jokes that if higher education were free, I'd be a professional student! :P), and think I would be a great member of the house.
22. Which house were you actually sorted into on Pottermore?
Ravenclaw! :D
23. Which class do you feel would be your favorite?
Probably Charms. I feel that it would also be the most useful. I would say DADA if Lupin was a permanent teacher!
24. What spell do you feel would be most useful to learn?
In the thought of laziness, Accio. But in reality, probably Protego. I would be easily able to shield myself from most spells.
25. Which character do you feel you'd instantly become friends with?
Luna. We both a little bit outside of the realm of normalcy. ;P
26. If you could own one of the three Hallows, which would it be?
Probably the Cloak. It's the one I know most about from the books and I would be AWESOME at hide-and-seek! ;)
27. Is there any aspect of the books you'd want to change?
The fact that Lupin was not a werwolf and could have been DADA teacher for all of the books.
28. Favorite Maurader?
I like them all except Wormtail. But probably Padfoot. He makes a perfect dog and was probably the most mischievous of them all.
29. If you could bring one character back to life, who would it be?
Probably Fred. It's really hard to imagine George on his own. Even Molly didn't see that .
30. Hallows or Horcruxes?
Hallows. I couldn't kill to make a Horcrux, and the Hallows would be much more useful. I'd rather be master of death than immortal.
Well, I hope you guys liked learning more about my feelings toward Harry Potter. I must admit that I was part of the later age that read them. The first one came out when I was about two, so I can't say I was there for any of the book launches or anything like that. But, I was able to go to the last two midnight showings. :) But, I am still part of the Harry Potter generation!

End of the Week/Beginning of the Week Update
Hi everybody!
I'm sorry I didn't post an end of the week update this week. I didn't want to post one on Friday because it was a snow day for me and I did a lot of reading. And then it seemed silly to do one yesterday as I would have this one up today.
Anyway, I had a pretty good reading week this week. I was able to finish Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as well as start and finish Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I had some extra time on my hands this week so it was great to be able to get so much reading done.
Now, my plans for this week are to start Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm actually going to do that when I finish and post this post. I'm really looking forward to this one because its the one I've read the least amount of time and I'm pretty sure I'm missing some details. But there are some things that stick out in my memory from the movie that I want to check with the book.
When I finish the series, I want to find a couple of Harry Potter Tags and fill them in for you guys so you get a little bit more in depth to my thoughts of the Harry Potter series.
I think I'm going to have a few days on my hands to read because I've gotten a nasty head cold and need a few days to recoup. I'll keep you updated.
Until then,

Beginning of the Week Update!
Hi guys!
I hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did. My aunt adopted a new doggie named Mica and we've spent the weekend bonding with her. She is a German Shepard/Lab mix and is cute as a button! I'll include a picture of her at the end of this post.
So, I actually managed to get a bunch of reading done this weekend. I have gotten up to page 703 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I am planning on finishing the book tonight, but I have a homeschool lesson tonight, so I may not have time. But I will definitely be finishing it over the next couple of days. I plan on starting Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince as soon as I am done with this one.
I really am enjoying this story. The only thing I wish was that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were a little more involved with the Order than they are. I agree with Harry when he says that he is the one who saw Voldemort come back and he is the one Voldemort is after. Anyway, its still a very good novel. There is so much foreshadowing that I hadn't picked up on in past reads of this book. And that just makes it even better!
Well, I hope you all have a great week! Let me know in the comments what other posts you would like to see from me. I hope to be getting back into my YouTubeing soon, but it's been kind of hectic as it is my last semester of High School. I've got a lot of college stuff on my plate at the moment. That's why it's easier for me to do a blog right now.
Anyway,

End of the Week Update!
Hey everybody!
I hope your week went well! Mine was a little crazy with school and meetings and college stuffs. But, I still managed to get some reading done!!! I finished the fourth Harry Potter and loved it once again. I always love reading the imposter Moody's side of the story. Don't get me wrong, I still think Barty Crouch Jr. is a vile, evil person. But, I really love hearing things from the villain's perspective. That would be my vote if there were ever to be another Harry Potter book. A story from the perspective of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. ;P
After I finished the fourth book, I immediately picked up the fifth one. Because I had so much to do this week, I was really only reading at bedtime. With this said, I've only gotten to page 237 (which is in the middle of a chapter!). It's taking me a little while to get through it. As I was reading through the part where they were cleaning out the cupboards in the drawing room and they found the necklace that no-one could open, I wanted to jump into the story and tell them to keep it in a safe place. But I suppose if they did that there would be no point to the sixth book or most of the seventh, would there?
But here's my question (and please debate it with me!) are the thestrals pronounced with a th- sound? Or is the th- sound pronounced as a p- sound? The reason I as is because I'm pretty sure in the movie, Luna pronounces it with a p- sound. But, I've heard it pronounced with the th- sound as well. Now I'm all confused!
I hope you all had a great reading week. I'm off to paint my nails because they've been blank for about three days now and that's longer than I usually go without having color on my nails. But that's a story for a different day.

Beginning of the Week Update!
Hi all! I'm trying out this new kind of post, so let me know what you think about it. I'm going to post a blog on Mondays and Fridays. A beginning of the week and an end of the week update. This way, I can let you know how I've done over the weekend and during the week. I'll also be posting other posts sporadically, and of course my end of the month wrap-ups. Please let me know if you like these! :)
So, I didn't read much this weekend. I'm still reading the fourth Harry Potter(and the Goblet of Fire). I'm almost done. I'm hoping to finish it tonight or tomorrow, depending on when I fall asleep. I'm planning on starting the fifth this week, nonetheless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to add this part to this blog to update you on the college things that I've done. I met with an admissions councilor at the college I am planning on attending, and I had to take an accuplacer test. I passed the test with flying colors and was accepted to the school!!! I'm so excited!
I'm planning on starting a little bit early. Hopefully for the summer semester. But, I'll keep you updated!

Sassy Harry
Hello all!
I'm coming to you after finishing the third book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And whilst reading, I've realized how sassy Harry can be. Especially in the presence of the Dursleys after speaking to Sirius.
As I was reading the last page of POA, I re-realized this. I've always known that Harry Potter can be sassy, and often is in the movies. But I haven't read the books in quite a few years. So reading Harry's dialogue in the book made me crack up.
Here's what I am referring to....
"Godfather," spluttered Uncle Vernon. "You haven't got a godfather!"
"Yes, I have," said Harry brightly. "He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of Wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though... keep up with my news... check if I'm happy..."
And, grinning broadly at the look of horror on Uncle Vernon's face, Harry set off toward the station exit, Hedwig rattling along in front of him, for what looked like a much better summer than the last.
Another one of Harry's particular sassy moments that I found myself enjoying again was after Harry sneaks into Hogsmeade for the second time under the invisibility cloak. Malfoy comes up as Ron, and Harry under the Invisibility cloak, are visiting the Shrieking Shack. Malfoy is picking on Ron's family and their money situation, when Harry decides to throw a handful of mud at Harry's head. Harry bends over under the Invisibility Cloak with "invisible noiseless laughter."
Hermione has her moments as well, especially in this book. Even when she is so slammed with all of her extra classes, she still manages to pull off sassiness, especially in the presence of Professor Trelawney.
Hermione does not put much into the thought of Divination and as Professor Trelawney brings up the grim as much as possible when referring to Harry, she puts a lot of her sassiness into dealing with Professor Trelawney.
Another one of Hermoine's sassy moments that I quite enjoy is her interaction with Malfoy when they are coming out of the castle and he is talking about Bukbeak's trial. And Hermione just slaps him across the face. The first time I read that, I was laughing out loud.
Ron has some sassy moments too, mostly when he gets angry. I especially like when Ron gets his detention from Snape and makes a rude comment about him (that makes Hermione go "Ron!").
I'll be on the lookout for more sassy moments in the next book, which I am going to pick up as soon as I publish this post!
Type at you soon!

I'm coming to you after finishing the third book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And whilst reading, I've realized how sassy Harry can be. Especially in the presence of the Dursleys after speaking to Sirius.
As I was reading the last page of POA, I re-realized this. I've always known that Harry Potter can be sassy, and often is in the movies. But I haven't read the books in quite a few years. So reading Harry's dialogue in the book made me crack up.
Here's what I am referring to....
"Godfather," spluttered Uncle Vernon. "You haven't got a godfather!"
"Yes, I have," said Harry brightly. "He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of Wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though... keep up with my news... check if I'm happy..."
And, grinning broadly at the look of horror on Uncle Vernon's face, Harry set off toward the station exit, Hedwig rattling along in front of him, for what looked like a much better summer than the last.
Another one of Harry's particular sassy moments that I found myself enjoying again was after Harry sneaks into Hogsmeade for the second time under the invisibility cloak. Malfoy comes up as Ron, and Harry under the Invisibility cloak, are visiting the Shrieking Shack. Malfoy is picking on Ron's family and their money situation, when Harry decides to throw a handful of mud at Harry's head. Harry bends over under the Invisibility Cloak with "invisible noiseless laughter."
Hermione has her moments as well, especially in this book. Even when she is so slammed with all of her extra classes, she still manages to pull off sassiness, especially in the presence of Professor Trelawney.

Marathon March
Hi all!
I've decided to reread the Harry Potter series this month. I know that in December, a lot of people partake in #HarryXMastoYou, but I've decided to put my own spin on it. I was planning on partaking in #HarryXMastoYou, but my plans fell through. So, here I am with Marathon March!
I read the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in two days, that happened to be in February. But, a majority of the series will be read in March.
If I actually manage to finish the entire series this month, I have a short TBR as well. I still want to read Dead Girls Detective Agency by Suzy Cox and Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick.
I hope to post weekly updates on here. And I want to get more active on my book tube channel again. I will keep you updated on my twitter and goodreads, which you can find on the home page of this blog.
