Filippa's Questions

1. Books that would be perfect as movies/TV-shows according to you?

Definitely the Shatter Me series, when I was reading the books I kept thinking that they MUST be turned into movies! (Other than the fact that pretty much most dystopias have to be turned into movies.) 

I apologize for missing Unravel Me #2.

2. The latest book you gave 5 out of 5 stars?

Confess by Colleen Hoover! It was a beautiful book, up there with Maybe Someday as my two favorite Colleen Hoover books! Check out my review here.

3. Your favorite book covers at the moment?

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray & The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton will remain the best book covers I've ever laid my eyes on. Unfortunately, I don't own any of them, but I'm saving to buy the hardcovers.

4. Two character from different books that would make a perfect couple?

Gale from The Hunger Games and Mare from Red Queen. Am I the only one who sees them together? They're both very family oriented and I don't know man..

5. Your favorite book series? Try to choose just ONE series!

Hands down Harry Potter, how dare anybody chose anything else for this one? 
(I also apologize for missing HP and the Sorcerer's Stone, They couldn't all fit in the box set for some strange reason.)

6. Your favorite stand alone?

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It just touched me in a way that no other book did. Check out more of what I thought of it here. 

7. A book that you thought you'd love, but you didn't?

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. That book was a nightmare dressed in a day dream. (Why am I quoting Taylor Swift?) But seriously, I have just read and reviewed this book.. if you'd like to check it out, go ahead here. 

8. If you could hang out with a fictional character, who would you choose?

Hermoine from Harry Potter. She is such an intellectual character and I'd love spending time with her. Either her or Noah Shaw from The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, just because he's both hot and funny.

9. Your favorite genre?

That's a hard one.. but I'll go with Fantasy/Contemporary, solely because I'm so in the mood for these two genres, but I'm currently on exams mode so I can't read. Such a bummer! 

10. Have you ever read a book that totally blew your mind? Which book?

I miss being blown away by books.. but my most recent one was Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang. Such a roller coaster of emotions. I was in tears by the end of it, not ugly crying though.. it was the perfect balance and it slowly became one of my favorites.

11. How many books do you want to read this year?

Let's see, I've set my goodreads goal for 2015 at 50 books, if I could get this done, I will up the challenge by 10 more books. I think I won't though, I have so much studying to do and in Summer, I'll take French courses and will be applying for colleges, but fingers crossed! :)♥

Lauren's Questions

1. What was your favourite class in school?

English. I always excelled in it and it was/is my favorite subject growing up. Along with Science maybe, but that didn't work out well with me.

2. What is your favourite movie quote?

I looove the one from Mean Girls when Tina Fey said that girls shouldn't degrade each other with words because if we did that to each other, it will seem okay for boys to call us that. I wish I googled the actual quote because it made me think right then, and it changed how I treat other people and I was extremely cautious with what comes out of my mouth.

3. If you were Prime Minister/President, what would be the first law that you would want to pass?

Gender equality & allow gay marriage everywhere/ gay rights. 

4. Have you ever been given a detention? What for?

Haha that's a funny one. In fact, I have but only for not handing in my homework in time. I've always been a procrastinator, I hopefully will stop being one in the future... *probably not*

5. Sweet or Savoury?

SAVOURY ALL THE WAY. I think my teeth are sweet sensitive, haha!

6. Who is your favourite character from childhood?

Matilda! I surely won't be the only one who took her as an idol for being so smart. Plus, Roald Dahl is an amazing author. He's one of my faves.

7. Are there any books that you are inspired by?

I don't get inspired by books as much as I look up to the characters or learn from their mistakes, that kind of thing. 

8. Do you have any middle names?

Noo, and I never understood how that worked, can somebody please care to explain in the comments? haha

9. What is your favourite book cover?

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender. I already mentioned that in Filippa's questions, it's beautiful, isn't it?! 

10. What TV shows can you recommend to someone who really needs to find a new show to obsess over (me)?

Hahaha this is another great question, I would recommend Arrow. It's an amazing TV show and I need to catch up!!! I hate exams agh. 
Also, I need everyone reading this to tell me their favorite TV show in the comments. I watch TVD, PLL and Arrow. 

11. What is your favourite social network site to share your blog posts, and why?
