  This is an interesting one. Normally I think about which shows I would like to watch again, but rarely do I think about which I wouldn’t. So this one has taken some thought and I’ve only come up with one so far.   The Walking Dead. I enjoyed the characters in this, I was READ MORE

  Oh man. This is such an interesting prompt, but also a bit of a difficult one. My memory isn’t that great, particularly for books I read a while ago. I don’t remember that many books I’ve read with villains at all, let alone ones I’d root for. I do tend to enjoy books that READ MORE

  I feel like we had this one before, and I didn’t have a very good answer then either. I want to say all of them? I didn’t always get the words right (this was before we had the internet where we could google song lyrics), and even when I did get the words, I READ MORE

  Well, as confusing as it may seem, I’m going to have to say both. I always thought of myself as an introvert, but I then had a phase where I was going out all the time, had a bunch of different groups of friends I hung out with and was generally pretty good at READ MORE

  Life is so full of small moments, some that you barely register at the time, others that you know are momentous as they happen. One that I keep wishing I could go back to was the last time my baby fell asleep on my shoulder. The warm breath on my neck, the weight of READ MORE

  Hahahahahaha…. oh, you’re not joking? Well, this is literally impossible for me to answer. I have so many books on my physical and virtual TBR that I could not possibly tell you which have been there the longest. There are a lot of classics I have kicking around that I haven’t yet read – READ MORE

  I have been thinking on this one for quite some time, and all the stories I’ve come up with are either inappropriate, would embarrass said family/friends, or aren’t that exciting. So the only thing I can think of is a story about a trip I went on when I was a kid. My mother READ MORE

  There are so, so many. Life is full of horrible things, unpleasant things, and unfair things. So I can’t really narrow this one down other than to say that I wish everyone had access to safety and what they need to survive and live good lives, I wish justice was always served (and included READ MORE

  I don’t have a lot of these, because I enjoy reading a lot of memoirs and non-fiction and books that are kind of their own thing. I’m sure there are tropes in them, but that’s never really what I notice these days (I noticed it more when I was reading mostly YA books, as READ MORE

  I read a fair amount of non-fiction – I enjoy learning about social issues, people, experiences different from my own. I like reading about nature, books, social issues, racism, physical and mental illness and memoirs of people I find intriguing. So my recent non-fiction reads are a bit of a mishmash, as usual!   READ MORE

  The obvious answer is, like, stupidly obvious. We are all here because we’re readers, right? So isn’t that the number one thing to do in any situation where there’s time to kill? I don’t tend to carry books around with me these days, but I have several ebook apps on my phone with access READ MORE

  I love animals. So if I had a huge amount of space and zero allergies, I’d basically just have an animal sanctuary. One thing is that I don’t like the idea of taking a perfectly healthy and capable wild animal out of their natural habitat just so I can have them as my pet. READ MORE

  Hmm. I don’t have a lot to report. I’m still trying to get over a nasty cough that seems to have been doing the rounds since December – apparently it’s being referred to as the hundred day cough, and I can see why. Not the funnest experience I’ve ever had, but luckily I seem READ MORE

  It’s weird, because when I was a kid I loved stormy days. They were so cosy and we had a roaring fire and it felt like I was so snoodled and comfy. But as an adult, I now bear responsibility for dealing with any issues that arise due to said storm, and we live READ MORE

  I don’t read that many series these days – I don’t have the time or attention span to really lose myself in that big of a commitment. The only exception is the Heartstopper series, which I absolutely adore. I haven’t read the fifth book as I’m saving it, and I’ve heard that the sixth READ MORE

  I find other languages fascinating, and I wish that at some point in my life I’d managed to live in another country for long enough to become truly fluent in another language. I didn’t, though, so I haven’t had the chance to learn another language to that level of proficiency. That said, I grew READ MORE

  This is a fun one. I actually have something for this, because I’ve found a few word-of-the-day memes recently that have actually taught me some new words. Here are some favourites: Morgenmuffel – someone who doesn’t like waking up in the morning and as a result is extremely grumpy (German) Spuddle – “to be READ MORE

  If I’m honest, I don’t really have much interest in celebrity culture. I kind of figure most celebrities either won’t live up to the idea you have of them in your mind, or won’t be half as interesting as they seem. So there are some I enjoy watching, some whose talent I admire, some READ MORE
