This week's quote: "The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional." ~ Max Lucado. Have an amazing rest of your day!

Thank you, I did too! I can definitely relate with this quote 😇

Quiz! 1. Your biggest bookish pet peeve. ( annoying tropes, physical things etc.) 2. Do you watch BookTube or BookTok? If so, who? 3. Book boyfriends? 4. Worst book you've ever read versus best one. 5. How do you arrange your books? *** My Answers! *** 1. I hate long chapters and when a paperback isn't floppy. 2. I love watching BookTube! I watch Destiny Sidwell, Rachel Catherine, Haley Pham, Sara Carolli and Just Ali! 3. Peeta Mellark, Warner from Shatter Me, Josh from The Way I Used to Be, and I think I'll go with Wes Bennett from Better than the Movies. 4. The Way I used to Be is my favorite book, and Uglies is my least favorite. 5. Height, displaying some, color, series together. Honestly just what looks best to me. I keep genres together, and I just generally try to make it cute. Thanks!

1. I hate it when the author try's so hard to include a romance story where it just doesn't fit 2. I honestly don't watch either the rare rare times i do it's booktube and no specific creator 3. Newt from the maze runner <3 and Primrose Everdeen (yeah ik shes a girl but I've had a crush on her since 2022) 4. i'm not sure whats the worst ive read, but the best one is history is all you left me by Adam Silvera (i dont recommend unless your above 15 just due to stuff that happens in it im not over 15 btw) 5. by series and author if its organized at all most of the time its just a chaotic mess

Thanks I love these quizzes :) 1. The sound of chewing 2. No, I don't watch those but they sound cool 3. Heheh don't think so 4. I'm not sure what the worst book I've ever read is, but best one by far is The Book Thief, I'm currently rereading that one for the third time 5. By color

1) I used to enjoy pictures in my early elementary years but now when I older, of 14 I now mostly prefer books with lot of words and less pictures! 2) Uh no? What is it? 3) Hehe, Prince Geric from "Goose Girl" I always daydream of Prince Geric and I being together but he's taken by Anidori! 4) Idk yet... 5) I arrange my books by their genres like on very top of my mini library in my room are horses books, on second shelf, random books by its genres, 3rd shelf is history books, then finally with fourth and bottom shelf are Deaf books and its culture and history... tysm for a book quiz!

Hello! 1. I don't like books with pictures (I used to like it when I was little but now that I'm older, I prefer a picture-less book) 2. I have never heard of those but that's really cute and clever!! 3. Hehe, I would have to say Prince Charles from "So This Is Love" by Elizabeth Lim (my fav book!)...he's so charming, kind, and is a good kind of protective 4. The worst book I have ever read was probably Hatchet by Gary Paulsen and my favorite book is (of course) "So This Is Love" by Elizabeth Lim 5. I organize books in a series (in chronological order too!) and I put all my other random books from tallest to shortest. Also, my bookcase has CD's, which are arranged in order of my favorites to my least favorites. I'm with you; I'm constantly changing how it looks and add little decorations to make it look cute! Thank you so much for the quiz, it was super fun!

Hello! 1. Hardcover books. The flaps are annoying for me, and I just don't really like the feel. 2. No, I'm not sure what those are! 3. I don't think I have any! 4. The worst one so far I guess would be Matched by Ally Condie, I'm not a fan of dystopian or romance. My favorite book so far would probably be the twisted tale What Once Was Mine. 5. Series together and genre. Thanks for the quiz!

Hello, I've been reading and learning more contortion lately! How about you?

Oh that's so cool, I've always wanted to do contortion but I'm not that flexible eheh

What is contortion? Sorry for being such a noob 😂

No problem! Contortion is a skill that requires intense strength and flexibility to basically be able to bend in half. It's kinda weird, but I enjoy it!

Do you work out? It sounds like something you would do while working out. I enjoy working-out on a daily basis.

Cool! I had not heard of it up until now! Now that I think about it, the name kinda makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up!
