Where’s the best place you’ve ever been on holiday?
Oh wow, it’s so hard to choose! This year I went to Australia which was pretty awesome. I also enjoyed visiting China last year to see my extended family and be immersed in Asian culture (which is so different from Western culture, and believe it or not, also very different from Asian-Canadian culture haha.)
Do you have any favourite fictional (or non fictional) libraries?
Is it corny to say that I love this library with the traveling ladder from Beauty and the Beast??! Basically I want a bookshelf that is so big and filled with so many books that you need a ladder like this to get around haha 🙂
What’s your guiltiest pleasure read?
Recently I’ve gotten into middle grade fiction, the most recent book that I’ve read is Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga (which I ended up loving a lot!!) I will soon read The Dragon Warrior which is part of a blog tour!! These are a bit of a guilty pleasure, because YA is already a guilty pleasure, since I’m quite beyond the YA age range hahaha (and therefore even more beyond the MG age range :’) ) BUT who cares right??!
What’s your most unpopular bookish opinion?
Uhhh…….. Right now my most unpopular bookish opinion is that I tried reading Red Rising. And really can’t get into it. AND trying to make myself finish the book because there are lots of people who love it. (please don’t kill me!!!!)
Do you have a bookish pet peeve?
Slow pacing? Can I say that that’s a pet peeve? I am super impatient so I want to get to the point of things pretty quickly :’)
What book character gets on your last nerve?
I can tolerate most characters actually. I guess I wasn’t a big fan of the MC in The Girl on the Train who I couldn’t really relate to.
If you could wear any item of clothing from a book- what would it be? (magical or not)
OOHHH so magic is on the table! Hmmm. Can I cheat and choose an accessory? I would love to have Hermione’s time-turner so I could gain a gazillion hours. Everyday could be so productive XD
Who would you rather kiss/marry/kill when the choices are Lord Voldemort, Sauron and Iago? (meanest question ever, I know )
Okay. This is mean!! It’ll be pretty cool to marry the Dark Lord from HP. I really really hate Iago so he’s the one to kill. I guess this means that I’m kissing Sauron? Is that even physically possible? XD
Who’s the best bookish baddie you’ve read about lately?
It has to be Ayt Mada from The Green Bone Saga who is a kick-ass and very intelligent female villain!!
Would you rather be the villain in a story or the hero? Why?
The hero! Of course! I am too soft and gentle and warm-hearted to harm anyone!

Do you have any exciting upcoming reading plans?
I have a few eARCs to catch up to, including The Dragon Warrior and Lost and Found. I am actually really looking forward to The Dragon Warrior since I am feeling like a light-hearted MG read haha. I also (eventually) have to finish Red Rising. Also, my friends gave me lots of books for my wedding which I am looking forward to getting to 🙂
Here are my 11 questions!
