Bookish Confessions

1. As a young child, my favourite book was Which Witch is Which? by Pat Hutchins. I took that one out of the library so many times!

2. I was in a book-related competition, two years in a row (Grade 3 and Grade 4), and even after graduating high school and university, I would still say this is my proudest accomplishment in life.

3. I haven't read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ... that'll change this summer, I promise!

4. I'm scared to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but I'm not 100% sure why. My mom bought a copy and gave it to me after she read it, but I gave it to my grandmother for her birthday because she wanted it more.

5. I'm ashamed that I've watched way too many movies before reading the books. (Sorry!) I used to read so much as a kid, and then I went through a movie-buff stage, and now I'm getting back into reading.

6. The only series I can think of where I actually read all the books before watching the movies is the Twilight series. (I haven't watched the last film though.)

7. When I'm looking for books to read, either the title or the cover has to appeal to me before I consider reading the synopsis. Then I feel like a snob because of that saying, "You can't judge a book by its cover."

8. Sometimes I wonder if I only ship characters because they're canon. I've begun to see a pattern in my ships lately ...

9. I want to read more classic novels, but I just think back to high school where I couldn't understand 1984 until my teacher explained it. I've been reading Pride and Prejudice, but I know how the story goes from watching the movie and reading the manga first.

10. My biggest dream in life is to publish a novel one day. Well, my goal is to just finish writing a novel first, THEN I can think about publishing it.
