Today please welcome Priscilla, who blogs at Priscilla and Her Books.
What's the meaning behind the name of your book blog?
Priscilla and her Books. It's pretty straightforward, I would say.
How long have you been blogging?
I'm a newbie book blogger. I've been in the blogosphere since late November 2012.
Tell us a bit about your book blog. What makes it unique?
I include memorable book quotes.
What genres do you write about most, and why?
It varies. I've been reviewing a lot of fantasy books these days.
What's your earliest memory of reading?
I was 10. My parents enrolled me in a day care centre. I wasn't too fond with the idea at first, but when I spotted the mini library at the recreation room, I changed my mind. The rest of the kids were more interested in the computers games (neopets, sonic), so I had the library to myself.
What was the first book you read over and over, or the book you've reread the most?
Matilda by Roald Dahl. I misplaced (the worst thing a reader could do) the copy so I plan to buy a new one. The Third Eye by Lois Duncan has a special spot in my heart, as well.
Writing in books: Yes or hell to the no?
If it's in pencil, I think I can handle that. Ultimately, it's the content. Your feelings, opinions, favourite characters etc...
What's your favorite place to read?
A comfy couch in a quiet room. With hot chocolate or honey lemon tea!
Do you have any reading accessories you can't do without?
If I'm reading on my tablet, my glasses.
Finish the sentence: My bookshelves are...
my buddies.
My TBR pile is...
increasing day by day. I really want to read S. by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst!
What's a book that's changed your life?
I haven't found a book like that. I look forward to reading it.
One book you like that no one else seems to, or vice versa?
I didn't enjoy Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
To DNF or not to DNF?
Gosh, I had to google this stands for! It depends. If it's a badly written book, stop reading it. I always say that life is too short for crappy books.
What's one book that intimidates you?
Any book that has horror, gore and/or violence.
If you could go to any literary destination, where would you go?
This is a fabulous question, though, can I get back to you?
How about non-book related hobbies? What do you do when you don't feel like reading?
Writing or basically just scribbling thoughts in my journal. I also enjoy blogging and hunting for vintage apparels and music on spotify.
What's your favorite book to movie adaptation?
The Help is probably my favourite. It's different, but in a good way. The entire cast especially Jessica Chastain (my bias) did a beautiful job.
What are 3 of your must-read blogs?
What is your reading personality? (via quiz at http://www.bookbrowse.com/quiz/)

Thanks for stopping by for the interview!
ReplyDeleteI love how you describe your bookshelves! It is probably one of my favorite answers I've seen so far!
I still don't know what I think about Gone Girl. That one just leaves me pondering . . .
I finally just read The Help a couple of months ago (audio version actually), so now I really want to see the movie!
Enjoyed the interview! It took me a long time to finally realize that it not finishing a book was okay, but I still finish too many that I should've put down. And I'm not a big fan of horror/gore either! I think horror books are worse than movies, as nothing can compare to the imagination!
