Izzy's questions for me <3

                  Why did you start to blog?

Since high school I really wanted to make a blog. Blogging nowadays is such a huge thing, I was curious about what it actually was. And since I love books and recommending great books to people, I thought why not give blogging a go. My greatest passion definitely is fashion, so I'm really hoping to branch out as a fashion blogger, but school is my main priority. 

                    Recommend three of your favorite books.

       Three of my favorite books are definitely All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doerr, Paper towns by John Green and The Fifth wave by Rick Yancey (?)  - it was really hard to just pick three books!- 

                                                                                      

                             Who is your favorite author? And why?

      I don't have a favorite author. But an author I find myself reading the most is definitely John Green. I love his writing. For me, he just portrays the thoughts of adolescents so well! I can relate to the characters, the stories are gripping and I can read the books in one sitting. The fault in our stars I've read in just a day. Because I thought it was so amazing! So if I had to pick an author, whom I really like, it is John Green. 

        Which books do you want to be turned into a movie/tv show? And do you have a cast in mind?

Don't get me wrong, I love watching tv-shows and films, but I prefer reading books. If there is a book that I absolutely love, I would not want it to be turned into a movie. Just because I don't want my interpretation to be destroyed. But there are exceptions, such as Warm bodies, the Hunger Games and Harry Potter obviously. But I can't really think of any book I'd really want to be turned into a movie just now. 

Name a book that disappointed you. 

As you may have noticed, in the sidebar of my blog you can find a badge with the book I'm currently reading < which is Brazen by Katherine Longshore>  I'm 378 pages into the book, but I just can't go on with it. I'm not intrigued by it anymore and I don't feel the need to continue. For me it is a let down, not only because the book is so slow-paced but also because I don't like the main character. Probably not going to finish this book in the near future. Please let me know in the comments down below if you would like to see a review once I have finished it!

What’s your favorite quote from a book? 

" If people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane"

- John Green ; Looking for Alaska

  From all the series you’ve read so far, which do you think has the best ending? 

I really liked the ending of the Hunger Games, the chemical garden trilogy and shatter me. 

if you had to live in a dystopian world (yes, a dystopian world) which world would it be? 

               I don't read a lot of dystopian books, so I'll have to go with Reboot by Amy Tintera.

                   Wren was one of my favorite characters, she was so badass and I really liked the fact that she               was some sort of zombie with super powers. Now I wouldn't want to be working for HARC,                   but maybe it would be cool to be a zombie with those super powers. 

              If you could have any item from a book, what would it be? And no, you can’t choose a wand.          Obviously I would choose a wand, like of course I would, duh! - no just kidding- I would                     actually go for the magical blanket (?) from Harry Potter, so I can be invisible when I'd                      want to be. Some situations in daily life just scream "make me invisible please"

           If you could ask any author any question, who and what would you ask?

                   I would love to meet Carry Slee. A Dutch author whom I have done a presentation about                in primary school. I was obsessed with her books at the time and I absolutely loved                            her writing. So at the time I  would ask Carry Slee what had inspired her to begin                             writing books and if she would have any tips for people who would like to start                                    writing as well. But right now, I'd probably ask something like "what is life like for a                              writer?"

                    

           How do you spend your free time?

             I love to draw and write poems. Also the first thing that I do on a Saturday and sunday morning is go on a 10 km run. But mainly it is just working out, drawing and going on the internet (write reviews, watch some netflix) 

And the nomines are:
