ABOUT THE BOOKS
How many books, on average, do you read a month? Well i love to read heaps and heaps of books so i read about 1 novel a week.
Favorite kind of book and why; I have this secret love of romance, not the whole book focused on it, but what is a book without a good love story!
Name the single most important factor in your decision to purchase a book; Well recommendations from other people are always leading me to purchase books! :)
What makes you feel like you're reading or have read a truly amazing book? If i look at how many pages i have read, and say, "I've read that much already!"
How important is a friend's recommendation in your decision to purchase a book? Well i trust their judgment and then i can see what the book is like for myself.
Thing you'd like to see more or less of in the YA genre; Well i would love to see a young adult book that is in the point of view of a child, that would be very interesting.
What's your biggest pet peeve in a book? Well i think that the ending of a story is very important and this does not normally happen, but i do not like it when a book ends without any purpose or meaning.
Paperback or hardcover? Uhh… i think that it depends. I do not like the hardcovers that have the paper picture that you can take off though.
Series or stand-alone? Hmm…. well stand alone, i think. Because then the book must have a very powerful ending.
ALL ABOUT YOU
If you had a life philosophy or motto, what would it be? *cough*(Stealing from anne of green gables)*cough* Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it.
Are your parents divorced? No.
Do you feel that being a teenager is difficult? If so, why? Yes. I think that it is very strange when you have your parents along in the ride.
List some of your hobbies. Singing, dancing, writing, sketching, computer and hanging out with friends.
Why do you think teenagers feel the need to label one another? Well i think that it is mostly the people trying to cover up what they really feel about themselves.
Favorite color? Not that i like this with everything, but, pink.
Is there anything in your past that makes you sad or angry? If so, are you willing to share it here? Well i hate when people that have done something bad in the past, deny it because they are too ashamed of their mistakes.
What is your passion? Fashion designing.
Do you feel the need to pretend to be someone you're not? If so, why? Well maybe in this world being the real 'you' is not cool. So i guess that you must be someone you are not to be. (I think you're pretty cool!)
What kinds of things do you think about when you're all alone? If there are any kinds of supernatural stuff out there. (me, TOO!)
How do you keep your bed? Covered in pillows? Made perfect every morning? A mess of tangled sheets? Mess, mess and mess :)
Do you ever feel the need to be invisible? Yes!! In very embarrassing situations!
Do you believe that you will ever find the type of love you read about and see in books and movies? Well i can only hope right?
Do you like school? Why or why not? Definitely, i have only recently started high school and it has been extremely exciting!
Do you believe that education is important? Very very important!
Are the cliques you read about or see on TV present in your school? Well i think so. But i do not pay much attention to them because they are just fakes. (ha! You call it like you see it. I like that!)
Do you ever feel awkward and uncomfortable? Well everybody does in their lifetime.
Favorite animal? Turtle :)
Have you ever been mean to someone? If so, why? How do you feel about it now? Maybe a few times just to impress or follow the people around me, i am not usually that kind of person.
Do you regret any of the choices you've made? If so, are you willing to share them here? This may seem childish but my biggest regret was not going on a scary ride at camp :)
Do they wonder or worry about what other people think about you? Be honest! Well it depends who they are. But it would be nice to think that everybody liked you, even if that is not the case.
