Amelia’s Quesions

  1. What music gets you in the mood for writing?
    Usually I listen to some type of epic sound track or just a movie soundtrack. It is pleasant to listen to as well as kind of like a wall paper so I don’t concentrate too much.
  2. In your opinion what is the best thing you’ve written so far?
    The best thing I’ve written so far…hm…well I honestly can’t just pick one thing. I’ve recently been doing short story writing with one of my friends by picking a random topic, like a word or phrase (ex: someones first snowfall) and then you have to write a short story about it, interpreting it however you want. I really think my writing for that has been quite good.
  3. Have you accomplished your goals for 2015?
    Well my goals for this year were increasing views on this blog, as well as followers, and getting good grades in University and so far I’ve done that! Which is awesomeeee!
  4. What is one thing you want to see happen in 2016?
    Well..that’s definitely a hard one. I’d love to see this blog grow more…but if I had to pick one thing it’d probably be more books to movies that are close to the book. I’d love to see more of that.
  5. What is your favorite book you read this year?
    My favorite book that I read this year was Poison Princess by Kresley Cole by far. But I also battle that with Archangel’s Enigma by Nalini Singh. Neither of them compete with one another though because the genres are so different so I have to pick both!
  6. Coffee or tea?
    Tea!!! Big time. Unless I’m studying…then coffee.
  7. Have you visited anywhere exciting in the past year? Where?
    Unfortunately I haven’t been able to visit anywhere exciting in the past year, but I’m hoping to be going back to the UK next year again (sadly couldn’t get there this Christmas). But does University count?
  8. What is your favorite thing about blogging/writing?
    My favorite thing is being able to share my love for books with others and find a community of people who feel the same. Even if I don’t know someone who comments on this blog, and probably will never get to know them, I feel like I know them just a little bit because of their view on a particular book.
  9. What would you do if you won a million dollars?
    I’d continue to go to university and pay for my tuition, but I’d probably get off campus housing, and then I’d also put some money into this blog, buy a car for myself, maybe give a little to my parents (maybe!), donate a little, and then use whatever is left for books and movies!
  10. What book would you like to see made into a movie?
    Gosh….that’s a hard one but I’d love to see Nalini Singh’s books made into a movie. But also Kresley Cole’s book too, just because it’d be cool!
  11. What is your current favorite tv show?
    Currently it is probably either American Horror Story or City Hunters which is a Korean drama.

2016 To Read List

Making a list of things I want to read is always so hard because I’m the type of person that just picks up a book that I’m interested in, but I do have two books that I would like to read in 2016.

Shōgun by James Clavell

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Yes, I am still reading Shōgun….it’s a huge book and I haven’t had time to finish it yet. Sadly. But those are the two books I want to read this year and I’ll see what else pops up.

What’s your ‘to-read’ for 2016?
