The Outstanding Blogger Award Tag

Who’d have thought I’d get tagged for this barely three months into my blogging journey, but Bibliomavens are a couple of good uns’ and I am ever so thankful 🙂 Seriously, go check out their blog, they do really great book reviews, books to TV discussions and most importantly, upcoming books-to-watch out for lists!

So here’s my answers to their questions:

1. What has been your most disappointing read ever?

Oh I could list a few in here, but if there’s THAT ONE then it’s The Danish Girl. The movie was excellent and I really really love Eddie Redmayne, and the premise of the book itself is great, but David Ebershoff spends so much time ‘scene setting’ and ‘mood building’ that I really lost interest in the plot after a point.

2. What book would you love to see adapted into a TV show or movie?

I am a strong supporter of ‘Books are better than movies / TV shows’ haaa! But there’s a few screen adaptations that I have loved (Lord of The Rings, The Witcher, Haunting of Hill House). If there’s a book I’d like to see adapted to the screen, it would be ‘The Humans’ by Matt Haig. I think it would go better as a mini-series rather than a movie, but I’d like to think either ways, with the right kind of execution, it would be a delight to watch!

3. If you could flee 2020 into any fictional world, where would you go?

Hobbiton in the Shire! Please take me there!

4. What artist/song do you currently have on repeat?

Alan Walker and the tracks are Faded and Play 🙂

5. What 2021 book release are you most excited for?

Well it would be unfair for me to list the 2021 ARC’s I have already read so I am going with the ARCs I wish I had received – Lore by Alexandra Bracken (Greek Gods, Mythology and Revenge – what more do you need?). The second is First Person Singular by Haruki Murakami.

6. What is your new year’s resolution for 2021?

Oh I have a very simple one for the coming year and it is ‘To read everyday’. It seems easy but it can actually be so hard.

7. What kind of book hero/heroine would you be?

I think I’d most definitely be Arya from Game of Thrones, or Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice 🙂
