@bookwormchocaholic thanks for the tag! 🙂

1. Favourite book of all time?
Can I pick a series? I know it’s not exactly high literature but the Diagnosis Murder books by Lee Goldberg are such a joy to read. I’ve never enjoyed a set of books more and I think that should count for something.

2. What are you currently reading?
A lot of fanfic is on my TBR pile! However, I do have this Anthony Horowitz book that is begging to be read so both?

3. Have you ever considered writing a book?
More than considered. I’ve typed ‘The End’ on several novels thanks to NaNoWriMo 🙂

4. Favourite series?
Erm I kinda already answered this *hides*

5. Book you’d like to read?
Kinda already did this one too – The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz.

6. What’s on your TBR pile?
Honestly it’s mostly fanfic because a) you guys are all so damn talented and b) I’m ashamed to say it’s free. I walk around the bookstore and wish I was a millionaire because there are so many awesome books. This morning I input a dozen titles of books I saw into the library and got a big fat zilch. I guess maybe I should try again in a year or two when they aren’t so new.

7. Favourite fictional character(s)?
Impossible to say. Characters and their stories are so intertwined and while I can see common elements in many of my favourite characters that’s not what this is asking. Characters are compelling for various reasons and I love far too many.

8. Favourite ship of all time?
Not book related but it kinda has to be Rumbelle really doesn’t it? Strangely not Beauty and the Beast though. I find Rumbelle so much better because there’s no ulterior motive. In BatB the Beast wants Belle to fall in love with him because he needs her to break his curse. Rumbelle is more romantic for me because it’s accidental love. Belle and Rumple didn’t want to fall for one another, they didn’t need the love for anything, there was nothing selfish about it, it just happened.

9. Pick up the book closest to you, open page one and write down the first paragraph.

‘Like a wolf on the fold.’ In recounting the Syrian attack on the Israeli-held Golan Heights at 1400 local time on Saturday, October 6th 1973, most commentators automatically recalled Lord Byron’s famous line. There is also little doubt that that is precisely what the more literary (<– hehe found a typo in the book) inclined Syrian commanders had in mind when they placed the final touches on the operations plans that would hurl more tanks and guns at the Israelis than any of Hitler’s vaunted panzer generals had ever dreamed of having.
– Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy

10. What’s the 1st fandom you were in?
The Royal/Heartbeat – I was eleven.

Thanks @mariequitecontrarie I hope you have an amazing christmas! *hugs*

Name/Nickname: Samantha/Sam
Gender: Female
Favorite Cold Weather Drink: Coffee I guess
White or Colored Holiday lights: Either but they have to be fairy lights, not LED or they give me a migraine. LED are too bright.

Favorite Winter Sport: N/A
# of Blankets I Sleep With: Depends how cold I am. I always have a duvet and sometimes I have a second duvet, and I have been known to have 2 blankets on top of that.

Preferred Holiday Confection: Fake chocolate cake
What I’m Currently Wearing: Blue slacks, purple/crimson t-shirt with a crown that says “Evil isn’t born it’s made” and a red christmas sweater which has a white dog wearing headphones on it.

Preferred Snowy Weather Activity: Staying inside all day, Britain is not equipped, driving is not safe. Honestly we barely ever have enough snow to do anything. If we did then I’d attempt to make a snow creature of some description.

Last Thing You Baked: A birthday cake for my mum … five years ago? I’m not much of a baker.

Homemade Gifts or Store Bought Gifts: I love to give people anything that is humanly possible for me, so long as it brings a smile to their face that’s what matters. So either is good, it’s just whatever they want 🙂

Favorite Christmas/Holiday Movie: I really don’t like christmas movies. My mum is mad for them and starts watching them in October or whenever TrueChristmas starts airing on Freeview. Does Iron Man 3 count? That’s set at christmas and Tony gets Pepper a big bunny and blows up all his suits.

Open Presents Eve or Morning: Christmas morning after breakfast.

Favorite Holiday Song: “A Winter’s Tale” – The Magnets. I need to fic this.

Tagging: @sarashouldbestudying, @rumple-belle, @theoneandonlylittlebird, @bookwormchocaholic – I hope you guys are having a relaxing and enjoyable day!
