I saw this tag around the blogosphere, it's a fun one to do, even if it was a little hard because 25 facts?!? IS IT HUMAN TO THINK ABOUT THAT MANY THINGS ON THIS TOPIC? Of course, but my brain hurts now...
This tag was created by Rachel @ Confessions of a Book Geek.
1. My favourite genre is high fantasy, but before last year, I didn't
read that many books in that genre.
2. I've been reading in English for three years, before that I only
read in French. It's actually weird to read YA books in French now.
3. Before I started reading in English, I didn't know hardcovers
existed, because we almost never have that in French, there is only big and
small paperbacks.
4. About that, I still haven't decided if I was a hardcover or a
paperback person. Hardcovers are soooo pretty but paperbacks are cheaper. Plus,
some books don't have a UK publisher I have to buy them in hardcovers. My book
collection is kind of messy.
5. I do most of my reading on my e-reader, because sadly, I can't buy
all the books I want.
6. I don't have a favourite author of all times yet… Because I started
to read most books by my "favourite authors" in the last three years
and they didn't released that many books yet (by that I mean no more than two series).
7. Harry Potter is my favourite series of all times (like a lot of
people) but I've never read anything else J.K. Rowling and so far, I don't
intend to.
8. I only had two reading slumps in my life and both happened in the
last six months: one in August and one I'm recovering from/am still into.
9. I'm a REALLY fast reader, that's why I read a lot of books every
year.
10. I love to drink tea while I read because TEA.
11. I almost always read in my bed… Because my Paris' flat has a bed and
a chair, that's all.
12. I'm reorganizing by bookshelves ALL. THE. TIME.
13. My copy of Cress by Marissa Meyer is a library copy I don't how it
happens, but I think there was a problem with my pre-order.
14. Once, my father ordered a book online for me, messed up and I got it
in German. I don't speak German.
15. Another time, Amazon messed up with a pre-order and I got City of
Heavenly Fire five days before the release date. So basically, I finished it
before the whole world. I'm so proud.
16. I used to have the most mismatched set ever for the Infernal
Devices:
- Clockwork Angel in French
- Clockwork Prince as a paperback
- Clockwork Princess as a first hardcover edition
Now I have all the paperbacks, so I feel better
17. I've never listened to an audiobooks because they're so EXPENSIVE.
18. The school year we learnt to read, I thought I would be able to read
after the first day of school so I cried when I got home. YEAH. That's how much
I wanted to learn to read. The summer before that, I asked my grandmother to
teach me but she refused because I was already a year ahead in class. I'm such
a bookworm.
19. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was actually one of the
first books I've read after that, I was like 6.
20. I thought reading a lot of romances would made me a romantic but
actually no. I'm a sceptical one now, it's sad.
21. When my mom was pregnant with my second brother, I wanted him to be
a girl. Why, you'll ask? Because I already had a little brother and we would
have been able to play at Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire (but with
parents). Well, now I have three brothers, so the plan failed.
22. I never got approved for an ARC, but I don't really care about it
anymore.
23. One of my favourite tropes ever is characters on a ship.
24. I'd like to publish a book someday but I actually need to commit to
writing before that.
25. Most of the time, when covers are released, I have mixed feelings about it, then I feel used to it and love them.
Tell me some bookish facts about yourself, it could be fun :)
