20 Questions Book Tag



Greetings, all!


I was tagged by the lovely Kendra Lynne to participate in this 20 Questions Book Tag!

Rules:

She has no idea who did this tag, or what the rules are, so I’m just going to assume they’re the normal tag rules. XD

Thank you for tagging me, Kendra! Let’s get started.




1.       how many books are too many books in a book series?


(That is a lot of books. XD) I honestly don’t think you can have too many! The biggest series I have read is the Redwall series by Brian Jaqcues with a whopping total of 22 novels and 2 children’s books. My personal preference is around 8-10 books, but I will gladly read as many books as there are in a series.



2.       how do you feel about cliffhangers?

Mwuahahahaha…I love them. As my poor beta readers know, when I write stories, I tend to leave them ALL. ON. A. CLIFFHANGER. EVERY ONE. And it’s awesome.



3.       hardback or paperback?

I don’t care either way. Hardbacks are prettier, I do admit, but they’re more expensive. :-Z



4.       favorite book?



 YOU CAN’T ASK ME TO ONLY PICK ONE. IT’S NOT POSSIBLE. I LIKE TOO MANY.



5.       least favorite book?

Erm…let’s see…actually, I can’t think of one. I’ve started some books that I ended up not finishing, but that was mostly because of content issues. I usually like all the books I read.



6.       love triangles, yes or no?


NOPE. I always feel so bad for the person who isn’t loved in return *cough, cough* Legolas and Peeta *cough, cough* Although I do admit, sometimes they can further a plot. Sometimes.


7.       the most recent book you just couldn’t finish?

Tales of Redwall: Martin the Warrior by Brian Jaqcues. I’ve read it two or three times before, so it wasn’t a huge deal. I just got into another book instead. :-P



8.       a book you’re currently reading?

Ranger’s Apprentice: The Kings of Clonmel by John Flanagan.



9.       last book you recommended to someone?



Fawkes by Nadine Brandes.



10.   oldest book you’ve read? (publication date)

So, I’ve read a ton of really old books, but most of them weren’t officially published until more recently (because the printing press even wasn’t invented until 1440-1450...). So, the only old book I know the publishing date for certain is Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan, published in 1666. :-)

 

11.   newest book you’ve read? (publication date)

I think it’s Fawkes (again) by Nadine Brandes, published in 2018.



12.   favorite author?

Arg. Another favorite. *glares at tag* Probably C.S. Lewis, followed closely by J.R.R. Tolkien, N.D. Wilson, and Douglas Bond.



13.   buying books or borrowing books?



Buying. Because then I can own them and smell them and read them WHENEVER I WANT. But borrowing will work when I don’t have money. XD



14.   a book you dislike that everyone else seems to love?

N\A.



15.   bookmarks or dog-ears?

BOOKMARKS. NO DOG-EARS.



16.   a book you can always reread?





The Greatest Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. <333



17.   can you read while hearing music?

Yes, but only instrumental music.

       

18.   one POV or multiple POVs?

I like both. :-D



19.   do you read a book in one sitting or over multiple days?



It depends on how intriguing it is and how much time I have to spend; but I prefer in one sitting.



20.   who do you tag?

My favorite part!!! XD









Here are your questions! :-D

1. how many books are too many books in a book series?
2. how do you feel about cliffhangers?
3. hardback or paperback?
4. favorite book?

My Camp Nano Project: Of Seas, Silver, and Shipmates.

Greetings, all!  Since Camp Nano is almost over...HOW IS IT ALREADY ALMOST THE END OF JULY???...ahem, I decided to share a little of what I've been working on this month.  Introducing,  Synopsis Eden Claire is an orphaned serving girl in England. Living her lonely life working in the library of a boarding school, she begins to think that she must always settle for less, and that her dreams of comradeship, adventure, and sailing to unknown lands must slowly dwindle away to nothing. However, when an old forgotten acquaintance shows up on her doorstep with a note left to Eden by her father, those dreams might just become rekindled; dreams that will take Eden to wild escapades on the high seas. Eden must outwit the notorious Damian the Black Hearted and his gang of pirates in her quest for her father’s treasure, but she cannot do it alone-she will need the help of others. Can she learn how important true friendship is, even at the cost of losing the treasure…and
