A letter to an unknown soldier

Bookish scenarios tag

Yes I know it's another tag, but I just love answering questions!!! Give me a survey any day and I would answer with happiness.

1.You have to get rid of all your books and you can only keep one from each of these genres - contemporary, fantasy, non-fiction and one other genre of your choosing. What books do you keep?:

Contemporary- My life next door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Fantasy- ummmm every book from Cassandra Clare and the hush hush series. Seriously I love fantasy so much I would rather just save all my fantasy books.
Non-fiction- It by Alexa Chung 
Mystery/spy thriller/espionage- The gallagher girls series by Ally Carter, in my opinion this series should be talked about a lot more.

2. You're at the book store and you hear a teenager telling their mum they don't like to read, but their mum insists they pick something. You walk over and recommend a book you think is great for people who aren't big on reading - what book is it?:

Divergent because it contains a few genres, and is great for girls and boys.


3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which book do you read to put yourself in a great mood?:
Either a mortal instruments book or a gallagher academy book.
love this quote from the gallagher girls series, seriously read it, they may be a possible movie series.

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years. What book would you most likely have caught yourself reading?:

Well I'm 15 so I guess I'll go back to my pre-teens, and it would one of the truth, dare, kiss, promise books by Cathy Hopkins.


5. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day trip and you have 1 hour to pack. Which book do you bring to read on the way?:

I think I would take something I haven't read yet so probably is everyone hanging out without me? by Mindy Kaling.
 ..... :~/
6. Your house has been robbed! Don't worry - everyone is safe, but your bookshelf has been raided. What's the book you really hope is safe?:
Every book I love joined in one bind up yep I'm not choosing nut uh. 

7. Your friend borrows a book and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs?:

C mwahahaha no doubt in my mind, I would probably leave secret messages in different books(not nice ones of course.)


So I guess that's it au revoir 

xoxoNN

p.s I don't own these pictures I know but gotta love cheeky google.
