The Fifty Bookish Questions Book Tag

Hello my bookish lovelies! As I am still in the process of reading not one but two books I hope to do a review for, I decided that I should do something for you guys to get to know me better. Today, I am doing The Fifty Bookish Questions Book Tag! Since this will be quite lengthy, I’ll try to keep it short, sweet, and to the point. Here we go everybody!

1. What was the last book you read?

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab (Check out my review!)

2. Was it a good one?

I’m still feeling overly-emotional about it… It was so good!

3. What made it good?

4. Would you recommend it to other people?

Absolutely! Done it quite a few times already to be honest.

7. What was the last bad book you read?

If I had to choose a “bad book”, I guess I would have to say Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber.

8. What made you dislike it?

You don’t get to truly know the characters and about how their relationship grew, you were just thrown into it and expected it to be romantic all because she was a teenager and he was a vampire… Plus the ending wasn’t that great either, but that’s for a whole different time.

9. Do you wish to be a writer?

 Personally I didn’t do well with the pressure of being forced to read a book (as to why I had to have tutoring for years.) I think reading comes naturally to some and should make you happy.

I don’t believe you should ban a book from school. In order for people to learn and thrive and become open-minded, they shouldn’t have something taken away due to rules.
