When did you start reading?

I started reading (and never stopped) books in high school. It's when my classmate brought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone that his uncle sent him, well, sent the seven books. After he reads the first book, I'll borrow it and the next and the next. Sad that I have not finished the fifth book because finals came and I had to refrain myself from reading. But then I wasn't able to catch up on reading the next book for I have picked another (not HP) book to read.

But I got fond of books and reading when I visited Manila summer of 2010. I bought Richelle Mead's Shadow Kiss. The third book of The Vampire Academy series. I never knew about series before. Never knew that it is the third book of the series and not the first. Never knew that Goodreads. I was so dumb before. I just read books without knowing how they flow. 

Then I bought lots of books from a store called Book Sale. Obviously, they sell books that are cheap. Bargain. I bought lots of books from there for $3 or so. I love buying books from there because of the smell of the books. (LOL.) Yes, for real.

I never knew way back then what genre I'm happy to read with. I started reading the books I bought. I enjoyed them mostly but some remained unfinished. My bookmarks are still there.  

Do you prefer digital copies of books, or physical ones?

Physical. Especially those with hardcovers. Before, I prefer paperback because it's more handy than hardbacks. But when Defiant Unto Death came from the post office. I fell in love with it. It's not the first book in hardback that I own. I just fell in love. It's like a gem.

Where do you buy/get your books? A library, a bookshop, online?

Bookshop. I don't like to order online because aside from paying the shipping fees, I'll pay for the custom fees. I just hate the post office for that. ARGH.

Who’s your favorite character of all times?

This is such an unfair question, Marie! Haha. I'll answer it this way. I love Margo from Paper Towns. I am in love with her character. She's sort of like me - adventurous, sort of a brat, leaves clues everywhere. Everything on Margo's character. I thank John Green enough for creating Margo. BUT, I love love Queen Elara of Red Queen. Can she be my freaking mom?! Or can I just have her abilities?

Did you ever read a book with high expectations, and ended up very disappointed?

Oh yes, recently, I have read Last Year's Mistake. Just... read my review. *Sigh.

If you could write a book, how would you like it to be? Feel free to say, I wish I’d written X book, because…or tell me about an idea of a book you’d love!

Well, I'm not really into writing a book. I'm just a reader. I have to say that not every book blogger is interested in writing. I am also terrible at writing, even just a poem.

Is there a genre you don’t like, and will never read?

Can I just tell you I don't like books and will never read something like Anne Rice's Memnoch The Devil? I just don't get those kinds of books so much. I tried but it's not convincing.

What are your bookish habits? Do you read inside, outside, take notes, read all at once?

I read whenever possible and anywhere possible. AS LONG AS IT IS AS SILENT AS A LIBRARY.

What’s your favorite place to read?

When at school, I prefer the library but when I'm at home, in my mom's room. It's pretty peace for reading.

Give me three books that made you happy you got into reading. Three books you think everyone should read, because they’re just THAT amazing.

The Stars Shine Down by Sidney Sheldon

Everyone should read this. I don't care if you prefer YA but this book would be an 'influential read' for everybody especially for those still growing up and have bigger dreams than just reading in a couch and blogging in a coffee table.

Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful #1)

by Jamie McGuire

If you want a hot guy with tattoos, Travis Maddox is for you. I love Travis and Abby's chemistry so much. By far this is the most fierce romance read I ever had! I am not giving this a review. I want to keep the feels in my mind. (LOL.) What an excuse! Such a procrastinator.

Rating: !!!

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

I would lie if this book did not made me happy I got into reading. If you happen to read my review of this, I know you would get bored. Because there's nothing but a rant you would never understand.
