Hi! Merry Christmas to anyone who celebrates! Random book-themed quiz: 1) Would you rather be able to read only one book a year or only be able to read the first chapter of every book you pick up? 2) Is there a book series where you've been waiting for the next installment like FOREVER, but it still hasn't come out? 3) Favorite book? 4) Favorite series? 5) Least favorite book or series? 6) Would you rather live in a library or live in a bookstore? My answers: 1) One book a year, because I never said anything about audiobooks or ebooks. Loophole! 2) Yes, the Frost Easton series currently has three books, and the third one left off on a CLIFFHANGER and the 4th book still hasn't come out! The horror! 3) The Ursulina by Brian Freeman 4) the Shelby Lake series 5) Fahrenheit 451 (in my opinion, it has bland characters and WAY too much flowery prose) 6) A library, because the books are free, there's comfy chairs, and my local library has a really good restaurant right next to it. Okay, bye!

Hey there! Merry Christmas to you if you celebrate as well! 1) DEFINITELY only one book a year! I just can't stop reading if I have a good book, only reading the first chapter would be like torture haha! 2) Not exactly, all the other series I've read are already done, can't think of anything right now! All the other books are pretty good just by themselves, but thanks! 3) Haha I don't really have one either, but Warlight is a really good book in my opinion! 4) Been a while since I've read a series, but when I was younger, The 39 Clues series was DEFINITELY a favorite of mine! 6) I would live in a library! My local library at least, it's so huge and it has so many books to read! Thanks for the quiz, and again Merry Christmas to you and have a good day!!
