1) My favorite movie is "Life is Beautiful" in English or dubbed in wonderful, melodic Italian.
2) I always leave something as a bookmark unless I'm reading my Kindle, which does that for me.
3) I go quiet if I can. In the past I've told many "white lies", but they get gray and murky and turn dark at the slightest provocation. I lived a white lie once and will never do that again.
1) my fave genre is probably paranormal and fantasy.2) I always read in the bath. its my favourite thing to do to relax.
3) my most favoured pet is my Chihuahua called Stitch. I got him when he was a puppy and he is so sweet and looks so cute.
4) A typical day for me is: going to work for 07:15 and finishing at 15:15 (in a mental health nurse). I will come home eat dinner and usually read or watch an episode of whatever tv series I'm watching. If I have a day off then I usually spend the day shopping instead of work.
1) what is your favourite food?
2) what is your favourite sandwich filling?
3) what was your most favourite book as a child and why?
I am staring at the questions and wondering how many I know the answers to, 'cause let's just face it, I am starting to realize that I'm really ignorant about myself. (O.O)
Joyee your comment made me chuckle. On all fairness I think I can only answer the one about the sandwich filling (ploughmans everytime)
1. Green chicken enchiladas w/a sunny side egg on top.2. I like pastrami, with extra mustard and pickles in my Sammies.
3. I like the Fear Street series by R.L. Stein. I used to scare myself half to death. Lol
I used to.love goosebumps by r l stein. you obviously had good taste in books as a kid
Oops forgot to ask my 3 questions1. What is your go to comfort food?
2. What book could you read over and over again and why?
3. What is one of your fav. Childhood memories?
@ Chloe I couldn't get enough of goosebumps either!
My favorite comfort food is peanut butter and fluff on white bread, yum yum!I love the book Beautiful Disaster, I don't really know why, certainly not the best book out there but I just fell in love with it:)
I remember getting a box of 64 crayola crayons with a sharpener built into the box for Christmas one year, I was sooo excited!! All the colors, green blue, brick red, I was in heaven!
My questions are:
Do you have any pets?
What is your least favorite book and why?
What is your favorite summer activity?
1) Yes I do have a pet. I have a cat named Lincoln. I also take care of my brother's kitten name Singyn. My sisters have two cats: Jynx (or as my brother calls him Lokie) and Catniss. We have a turtle - shelly, two Guiniepigs - Moe and Angle, a parrot - Paco, and a dog named pearl. 2) I have a few books that I did not enjoy reading. But right now the one that is topping the list, mostly because it is recent is "Perfectly Dateless". I just felt that there was more that the author could have put into the story, and some of the events and changes of personality of characters seemed very unrealistic. Another book that I did not like was "Into the Wild." It just seemed pointless and the person who made those actions seemed like he needed help.
3) Favorite summer activity is reading, of course! Beyond reading, I love to camp. I enjoy being in the woods and away from everything.
My questions:
1) do you remember the first book you read? What is it?
2) What is one thing you like about reading?
3) What is one think you do not like about reading?
1) I have a faint memory of the first couple books I read and don't know which I had actually read on my own. It was either The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss or Mooch the Messy by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat. And I loved both. And the funny thing about Mooch the Messy is that it was my most favorite book at the time because as a kid I loved organizing my toys and cleaning more than playing with them!!2) I love the creativity of the many different authors. I love getting absorbed into a book and falling in love with the different characters.
3)Hmm... tough. I guess it depends on the book. Sometimes I don't like too much detail when I am too excited for the ending, or when there isn't enough detail and it just ends... I like a good middle ground. ;)
My questions"
1) What is one movie you saw after reading a book and thought it was actually well done?
2) Do you ever stay up way later than you should have to get close to the end or finish a book?
3) Favorite place you have traveled and why?
1. I thought must of the Harry Potter movies were done well.2. Omg! Yes all the time! And then I'm sad cuz I finished it.
3. I took a Cross country RV trip when I was 11 and I loved it cuz I got to spend my 11th bday in Canada! We went to this mall that had rides inside like an amusement park and to see the Expos play.

best day of my life...there isn't one honestly....(not in a negative way) there are far to many, and if I just pick one it...its not fair in my way.
