Q. Which book character is most like you?
Mod
{good luck with that daunting sounding reading challenge for new year Booknut! Wow, 600 books would be amazing!}.
A). Having looked online for colour representation, i would have to say that the colour i would choose for myself would be Blue {both a mixture of light & dark}.Meaning -
Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.
Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.
...sad? you say. Sometimes so, when i look upon the world and not all is as beautiful as in dreams.
Q). If you could choose a book of 2013 what would it be?
A) Hmmmmmmm... Of 2013? As my favourite? This is hard. I totes feel like I'm betraying my book-boyfriend by not choosing Fiery Heart but I think I'd have to go for "United We Spy" by Ally Carter. It was a beautiful conclusion to a fantastic series that's been there for me through the ups and downs of life.
Q) What book are you looking forward to the most for 2014?
Q) What book are you looking forward to the most for 2014?
A) The Graphic Novel of Fazendo Meu Filme (Shooting My Life's Script), it's my favorite brazilian series and this year the author will gonna release the graphic novel, I'm so excited!!!This book is available in amazon in english how Shooting My Life's Script, I really recommend! =D
Q)Do you listen music while you're reading? If yes, what kind of music?
A). It bothers me greatly as i easily can get distracted. When i read there has to be total silence ~ no computer on. No television on {not even the picture with the sound down}. This is why i love grand library's as they are places of sanctuary and quiet. However, having said all this if the book i am reading is so absorbing and consuming that i am unable to tear myself aways from the fictional world that i am in ~ then daily life dissolves around me and even if there is lots of noise etc. all around me, i am able to remain within the book and detatch myself from what is happening all about me. {This only happens in a really good book like Tolkien or Harry Potter etc.}.
Q). What is the first book you have read/ or are reading this year?
Mod
A) The first book I read this year was 'The Ask and the Answer' by Patrick Ness.
Q) Which book (single) has a special place in your heart and will forever?

Q). What book-to-film adaptation are you dying to see?
Mod
Q) In your opinion, what is your favourite book-to-movie adaptation?
A). I would have to say Harry Potter & the philosipher's Stone which brought my childhood dreams to life! I don't think it could have been done any better.Q). If you could be a female heroine from a novel, who would it be?
A) Katniss Everdeen :DQ) If you could have a chance to meet someone (you've already met) for the first time again, who would it be? :)
A) My boyfriend.Q) Which male character you'll would run from if he tried to date you? Why?
A) Adrian Ivashkov - no hesitation. This will sound totally er... shallow. But I'd need him to look like the guy I envisioned as well as having the same personality.
Q) Name one book character you wish you could kill off?
Q) Name one book character you wish you could kill off?

Mod
Q) Name your favourite fairytale or fairytale re-telling?
A). Snow White & the Huntsman
By Lily Blake. {I recently watched the film and then read the book, and fell instantly in love with this deliciously dark tale that's wonderfully written and truly magical! It certainly twists the fairytale from the classic into something much more drematic and exciting - i loved it!!
Q). If you could bring a creature from a book to life, what would it be and why?

2. My violin teacher, who has taught me so much.
3. My mother, who is always there for me.
Q) What's your favourite book, and if you could turn it into a movie which actors/actresses would you choose to play the characters?
