Myself as a Reader

The last 5 things I've read were...:

Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, Midnight Sun (on the Internet), Twilight, and The Luxe

























My favorite genre for books is fantasy. I love books about faeries, vampires, magical beings, stuff like that. But I also like the books to have a bit of romance in it :] And it's even better if the characters aren't in some complete other world; I like a bit of reality in it, but enough fantasy to make me think it could never be in my world. I don't really have favorite authors... maybe Stephenie Meyer, Melissa Marr (the author of Wicked Lovely), and Scott Westerfeld (author of the Uglies series, the Midnighters series, and the Peeps series). I think that can give you a sort of idea about the books I like to read.

I usually read on my bed. I prop up my pillow vertically, then lean against the head of my bed/my wall. Unless I've gotten deep and focused into my reading, I get distracted really easily, so I can't listen to music as I read, and I have to close my door if someone is watching TV in the living room. I can't eat or drink anything either, because that would be distracting. I can drink something before I start to read, but nothing while I'm reading.

I don't mind if books are made into movies. Some movies that were first books are actually good. But Twilight...ugh. The movie sucked; the main actors just were so different from the Edward and Bella that I imagined. The one other bad thing about making books into movies, is that people will be too lazy to read the book and will just watch the movie. That shouldn't happen; the movie should make people want to read the book.
