27.Hmmm... The only one that comes to my mind for being terribly disappointing is the ending of the Harry Potter Saga. You know, that awful epilogue that makes you want to scream and looks like bad fanfiction :3

25. Do you prefer the book describing the environment or you make it yourself?
I like some prompts but I don't like heavy passages full of details about the environment. It's better if the descriptions are mixed in other passages.
26. Have you ever tried to write a story yourself?
Yes, in fact I compeleted a few when I was younger but I don't have the time, nor really the passion, for it anymore. I prefer reading to writing right now.
27. What’s the worst ending in a book you have read?
Some selfish ***** gets everyone who cares about her killed in her mindless drive to get what she wants and then she actually gets what she wants despite having destroyed so many lives.

27. The ending of the Harry Potter series. The actual final chapter was great, but that "19 years later" chapter... Well, apart from anything else it just raised more questions about what happened to them afterwards than I had at the end of the actual final chapter. I think it should have either been left off, or been part of a "19 years later" book, if you know what I mean.28. The worst ending a book could have is one that raises more questions than it answers. Even with a series I don't like to finish a book with too many questions hanging in the air, but if its the end of a series it's even more important to tie up lose ends.

28. What’s the worst ending you could think a book could have?
1. Questions aren't Answered
2. All the good characters dies
3. Depending on the book.. the bad guy winning -_-
4. Cliff hanger at the end of a series.. (( WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT))

29. The most novels I've read in one week was about 9, I think, but I've read about 30 books in one week when reading through stacks of children's books. It's up to you which answer you want to go with.30. I hate cliffhangers!

29. What are the most books you have read in one week? according to what I've counted on here! 16 O_O30. Cliff-hangers? Like them, or hate them? hmmmmm I have a love hate relationship with them because while I hate waiting to find out, I'm excited to know there'll be another book to read :3
28. What’s the worst ending you could think a book could have?
In this case I'm leaning more towards the worst type of ending a series could have: one with numerous threads that haven't been wrapped up! I hate it when a final book in a series introduces more questions than it bothers to answer.
29. What are the most books you have read in one week?
I don't generally tend to keep count of these things. Probably 7 as I don't tend to go beyond reading 1 book each day (I like my down time too!!), but if you include BDs then it'll be much higher.
30. Cliff-hangers? Like them, or hate them?
Generally speaking, not a fan. In most cases you have to wait a year for more answers and by the time the year's up I'm not invested in it anymore so I don't really care.
