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.

    I loved reading your answers. :) Howl's Moving Castle is such a good book. :D And the ordinary person who gains extraordinary powers is such a fun trope to read. :)

    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!

YouTube Videos That Make Me Happy

Yellowjackets Cast Plays I Dare You If you've never watched Yellowjackets, don't worry because I haven't either. They don't talk a lot about the show in this video. It's basically just them playing Truth or Dare. I'm not sure why this video makes me so happy, but it does. I just love the vibe of every single person in this video, and I want to be best friends with all of them.  Yellowjackets Cast Acts Out Emojis Again, I just love this cast so much. I love their dynamic together, and they all seem like really fun, cool people. Plus, it's just a fun one to watch. The Outer Banks Cast Reads Thirst Tweets This video is completely hilarious. I love OBX, and I love the cast, but, again, you don't have to watch the show to watch this interview. Props to whoever tweeted these for being so creative.  Chris Pine, Hugh Grant and Michelle Rodriguez Answer The Web's Most Searched Questions I haven't seen Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves yet [althoug

 Hello! It's been SO LONG since I've posted, and I'm really, really sorry about that. I didn't mean to take a hiatus, but my life has just been busy, and I was struggling to find inspiration for blogging, but I am back and feeling better than ever. I might make an update post, but for right now, I just wanted to do something fun. I saw Annie Elainey do a video like this, and I wanted to do one, too-----except in blog post form. If any of you guys want to do something like this, feel free to-----just link back to my blog. With that being said, here's my list.  #1: Anne Shirley Cuthbert, Anne of Green Gables/Anne With an E Anne was probably more relatable to me as a preteen, but I still think we have a lot in common. She's very smart, and loves learning new things, which is very relatable to me. She's very creative and has a huge imagination [#me], and can often get more caught up in her daydreams than in reality. She's also very, very emotional and sensit

Ten Things Of Ten Things Tag

 Hello! So, I had my blogoversary back in May, but I was super busy at the time, so I didn't get a post up, but I definitely wanted to do something, so I decided to do this. Christine Smith did a post like this on her blog, and I thought it'd be a fun idea. Full credit to her for the awesome idea. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who has followed, read and commented on my blog. Your support means so much to me. It's been a bright spot in my life during hard times, and it adds to my joy during good times. I also can't believe that it's been four years since I started blogging. That's crazy to me.  *clears throat* Okay, I should probably get on with the tag now, right? 10 Personality Things 1: I am extremely hyperactive about 90% of the time. I'm very energetic and bouncy, and just have the energy of a six-year-old. 2: I'm also extremely curious, and am always wanting to know why people do things or why things happen. 3: I am either an INFP or
