Jasmine’s Questions

1) Who is your book boyfriend?
Right now? I’d have to say Rhysand from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Definitely Rhysand. Mhm.

2) What other hobbies do you enjoy doing, apart from reading?
Aside from reading? I like to watch movies. My boyfriend and I go to the movie theatre fairly often. I also like to swim, and to blog (obviously, hehe), and I play video games on the occasion.

3) Do you read in silent or noise doesn’t bother you?
It depends on the day and my mood. Most times I like to read with music playing, but other times (like if I’m grumpy, or if I’m reading something that’s a bit tougher to understand) I like to read in total silence.

4) Have you been on a book tour?
Sadly I have not  🙁

5) Do you buy cute notebooks?
Do I ever! I own far too many. And I try to use as many of them as I can, but then I feel bad for “ruining” them when I write in them. Sigh.

6) Do you take notes while you read for your reviews?
I probably should, but I’m pretty good of keeping it all stored in my head 😉

7) What’s your favorite fruit to eat?
Definitely mango for the flavour (but they’re difficult to clean/prepare), so my second choice would have to be cantaloupe!

8) Where in the world have you visited within this year or last year?

I sadly have not left Canada since I went to Japanin 2014  🙁 but I did visit an awesome place in Canada this past weekend! It was very lovely…and I could almost convince myself that I’d gone down South somewhere for the weekend. Haha. The place is called Tobermory, and it’s a peninsula located in the North of Southern Ontario!

9) Do you have a goodreads reading challenge for this year, if so what is it?
Yes! I’m participating in the 2016 Reading Challenge. I set my goal for 50 books, but I’m already at 40 haha. So I may have to change that to a higher number…

10) What’s your favorite childhood book?
The Black Stallion by Walter Farley for sure! I read most of them in German while living in Austria, and I remember that I was very upset when I had to leave them behind because we were moving to Canada. I recently found them in English and bought them haha. So I may re-read them soon!

11) How often do you check your blog?
A few times a day haha. Is that bad?  😛

  3. I have to agree with you on the cute notebooks.. haha.. I do the same. You must know 3 languages then? German, French, and English? I like that picture of the beach. I haven’t been on a book tour either. I enjoy reading your answers 🙂

    1. Hahaha glad I’m not alone! And I don’t speak French sadly (we never did get along, even though it’s taught in the schools here). I speak English, Romanian (my nationality 😉 and I was born there), and some German (because I’m rusty now). And thank you about the picture! I had a ton of fun taking it! And awe you’re too sweet! 🙂

      1. I have nominated you for the versatile blogger award. The pingback seems to not be working. I don’t get notifications when others linked me so not sure if you got notifications from mine.

  4. You’re so very welcome!!! <3

    I do forget some things that I want to say about certain books, but I can usually remember. Maybe I should start keeping a journal…but I feel like it's a good exercise for memory if I don't haha. And that's good about being able to binge before exams though! I can never do that 🙁 unless the exam is about books…which most of mine were toward the end of my university career hahaha.

    And awesome! Glad I'm not alone! 😀

    1. Journaling is good in general, I think – I always have a grand time whenever I read the notes I’ve written before to reflect and stuff. It’s all very nostalgic. 😛

      That sounds cool! What did you do your degree in?
