The Literary Identification Tag

Hello there! I'm back again today with another tag, this one comes from the lovely Tiernan over on thebooktuber. I really enjoyed watching him and others do this tag so i thought i'd give it a go myself! Here we go!

(I totally should have looked at these questions properly, but i had a Harry Potter day and now it's nearly 11pm and i need sleep...so this should be fun!)

1 - What fictional character is most like you? (personality)
I'm really not sure about this, i tend to think about this a lot, and everytime i come up with an answer it changes depending on how i'm feeling. I think the most accurate one i can think of (and when i say that i can think of it i actually mean my friend Ashley on skype...) is slightly cheating, but probably a mix of Charlie and Sam from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Charlie is kind of how i've been since i was about 10, but Sam kind of represents how i felt through most of uni. So yeah, that was kind of cheating but it was all i could come up with.

2 - What character would you most like to play in a book-to-movie adaptation?
Now before i went to see City of Bones i would have said Isabelle from The Mortal Instruments, but i think she was played so wonderfully that i take that back. The only other person i can think of is maybe Anna from the Winter Trilogy? I really love those books and i think it would be fun to play a witch.

3 - What character do you physically resemble the most?
Every time i read Girls Under Pressure (and the other books that follow those characters) i imagine Ellie as looking like me. Maybe it's because i relate to her character more than most others i read and that book almost feels like i could be her, but partly just because the way she is described reminds me of myself.

4 - What is a quote from a book that hits home/describes something in your life really well?
'Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.' - The Catcher in the Rye.

5 - What character do you have the most sympathy for?
I'm going to go with Isaac from TFiOS. He loses basically everything. He loses his eyes, girlfriend, best friend. I just want to find him and give him the biggest hug in the world.

Bookish Questions Tag

Hey there, I wasn't sure what to write about today so me and my friend Ashley to come up with some book questions for me to answer. Kind of like a new tag...Here we go...

Which book changed your life forever?
Is it too clichè to say the Harry Potter series? Because I guess Harry Potter has impacted/changed my life more than any other book.

Which book have you read the most?
The Catcher in the Rye.

Which character do you have the biggest crush on?
Draco Malfoy is basically the all time love of my life, other than that it has to be Jace Wayland.

If you could be any character in a book which character would you be and why?
Anna from the Winter trilogy.

A book you want a film adaptation for?
13 reasons why. It's such an amazing story and I think it would make a really good movie.

 Have you met any authors?
I met Nick Arnold (who wrote the horrible science books) when I was younger. That was fun. 

Do you have any signed books?
I have a book signed by Nick Arnold, from when I met him. My TFiOS book is signed. And (the best one) my Chamber of Secrets book is signed by the Phelps twins :D

If you could be a character from your favourite book for 24 hours, who would it be and why?
Clary from The Mortal Instruments. And basically so I could have Jace...

Bookmarks or dog-ears?
Bookmarks!

A book you feel everyone else has read except you?
Divergent. I really want to read it though.

Your favourite author and why?
At the minute it's Cassandra Clare, other than her it's probably either JK Rowling, John Green, JD Salinger, or Ruth Warburton.

Do you not finish books if you don’t like them or do you persevere?
A mix of both really, it depends how much I'm hating it.

Most anticipated book to movie adaptation?
City of Bones!!

All time favourite book character(s) and why?
Draco Malfoy, Jace Wayland, Holden Caulfield, Dracula, and Alex Rider.

That was fun.
