Quinley's Questions
What is your favorite sub-genre of fantasy and why?
Magical realism. I think I like it because well-written magical realism combines real-world problems with magical ones, and I like to see how magic works in our world.
What is your favorite book series? And why?
Ooh, I have a lot of favorite book series. At the moment, The Raven Cycle might be my favorite. 
I really like Maggie Stiefvater's writing style, and I adore the setting and all of the main characters, as well as most of the supporting characters.
Who is your favorite fictional character and who is your least favorite fictional character?
Well, that's a tricky question. I love so many characters. Um, my favorite at the moment is Nora O'Malley from Tess Sharpe's The Girls I've Been. She's a fascinating character, in an equally fascinating book. My least favorite is Patch from Hush, Hush. He is, without a doubt, the worst. 
Would you rather get stuck in the world of your favorite book and not be able to return to the real world or you're in the real world but you're stuck in the body of your favorite character?
Oh, geez. That's hard. I guess the second one? I think I could adjust to a new body, but I wouldn't want to be seperated from my family and friends forever. 
What's your favorite genre of books to read? What's your favorite book from that genre?
Fantasy is my favorite genre. Since I already used The Raven Boys, let's go with Howl's Moving Castle as my favorite fantasy book. 
What's your favorite fantasy trope? And why is it your favorite trope?
I have a lot of favorite tropes. Maybe the ordinary person suddenly gaining extraordinary powers trope. It's a bit basic, but it's a lot of fun, and, again. if well-written, it can be used really well for both comedy and drama.
Do you have a favorite myth or fairy tale? If so, what is it?
Honestly, it's been so long since I read mythology or fairytales [which I definitely want to read more of this year], but I used to really like Vasilisa the Beautiful.
What's your favorite novel? And what is the opening line in that novel?
My favorite novel is The Last Summer of The Garrett Girls. The opening line is Des has a morning routine.
What do you use for bookmarks? Random pieces of paper, hand-made bookmarks, something else?
Honestly? I dog-ear a lot of books. Probably because I'm very good at losing bookmarks.
Do you write annotations in your books? Why or why not?
Not really. Honestly, it's just never occurred to me to do it. 
I nominate anyone who likes cats/has a cat. 
My Questions
What's your favorite romance book? 
Are you on bookstagram?
What's a book that has some problematic elements that you still enjoy?
What's your favorite bookish fandom?
What are your favorite and least favorite book-to-movie adaptations?
What's your least favorite character archetype?
Who are some book characters you relate to?
Do you have any bookish merch?
Do you like nonfiction?
What's a book that means a lot to you?

    Ooh I love the favourite myth/fairytale question. I've been curious what people would answer for that if I ever asked so I'm excited someone else has.

    Same with the annotating books things. I love seeing what other people add and then I just don't really think about doing it myself
    Loved reading all your answers!

      I know. It's such a good question.
      Right, I find it interesting, but I wouldn't think to do it.
      Thanks!

August Recap

Image
Hi, again. Basically I’m going to start doing a recap of each month. It’s popular among the blogging community. So, let’s see how August went. Posts Made in August Yeah, so there were quite a few made in August. My favorites were all of the chapters of my fanfic, doing my Q&A and answering all the awesome questions Diamond gave me. My most popular post this month was the answers to my Q&A Books Read In August Yeah, so I actually only read one book this month. Ideally, I would have read more but I enjoyed this one. 5/5 stars. It was very exciting and intriguing. Now, if only I could find the next two books in the series…… Best and Worst Book Read This Month Like I said earlier I only read one book so that’s my favorite. Movies & TV Shows Watched This Month Great movie, good music, way better plot than the second one. There were still some inconsistencies but overall it was very good. 4.5/5 stars. Hilarious movie. I mean, it is a comedy so it’s n...

The Fandom Tag

Image
 So, um, long time no see, right? I really did mean to write more blog posts and I don't really have a good excuse besides ''whoops.'' I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to blogging and I've been busy with other projects *cough* binge-watching Criminal Minds. Buuuuuut I'm back now and what better way to come back than with a tag?  Yes, I know I do a lot of tags. Work with me here.  Especially a tag about one of my favorite things ever: fandoms!  The Questions What's the first fandom that you remember joining? Harry Potter! I don't like JK Rowling as a person (we don't support transphobia here, folks), but those books were my entire childhood. I read and re-read the books, watched all the movies, played Harry Potter with my siblings......all that good stuff. What's the newest fandom you've come to enjoy? Welllllll......lately I've been absolutely obsessed with Hazbin Hotel ! When I say obsessed, I mean obsessively listening...

Six Books With LGBTQIA+ Characters That You Should Add to Your TBR

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, June is Pride Month, and yet I haven't done any posts on it yet. I have one that's about writing LGBTQIA+ characters well, but that's sort of long and involved, so I'm starting with this.  This isn't really in any specific order, and they vary in genre quite a bit, so some books may appeal to you, and some might not. OK, onto the actual post. Disclaimer: All summaries are taken from Goodreads.  #1: These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling Summary: Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg [read: non-witch], she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend [and fellow Elemental Witch], Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and...
