What’s your favourite book outside of the genre you read
most often?
I most often read YA, but outside of that I don't mind reading adult contemporary fiction or thrillers, and I really enjoyed Walking on Trampolines by Frances Whiting.
Any TV shows in particular that you’re addicted to right
now?
Not right at the moment, but I can't wait until Downton Abbey comes back on! - I'm a big fan of historical dramas.
Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring? And why?
My birthday is in Summer which is nice, and aside from the heatwaves which we get here in Australia, it's still a great season to go to the beach, eat lots of mangoes and relax in the holidays.
Do you have a favourite place to read?
On my bed or the couch - but I've always wanted to try reading in a hammock or something.
What’s your favourite book to visual adaptation?
Ooh good question! I can't pick just one, so I'd have to go with Gone Girl and Catching Fire.
Do you listen to audiobooks and, if so, where do you get
them from?
I haven't actually listened to an audiobook before but it's definitely something that I want tot try out soon.
What’s your favourite quote?
Once again it's hard to choose, but I love the saying 'A reader lives a thousand lives'.
Most recent holiday? Any more planned?
I haven't been on a holiday in a while, but The Blue Mountains is where I last went. I don't have anything planned right now, but we'll see!
Sweets or savouries?
I do have a sweet tooth, but savouries have always been more my thing.

Oooh you should definitely come to the Blue Mountains again and stop by my place :)
ReplyDeleteI love summer too, but these 40+ days are killing me. Ice cream is always good, though! I think my favourite season is autumn.
I can't wait to go back again, the scenery is so beautiful. Autumn is lovely too, especially with the cooler change which can definitely be a relief from the scorching summer heat!
DeleteI miust admit, I've never seen Downton Abbey before, it doesn't look like my cup of tea though. I'm more of a Walking Dead girl :D I love that! 'A reader lives a thousand lives'. So poignant and incredibly true. Congratulations on the award poppet, so deserving <3
ReplyDeleteThat's fair enough Kelly - I must admit that I've always been intrigued by The Walking Dead (even though it's not something I would usually watch'. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteCongratulations on the award, Genie - and thank you for nominating me! :D
ReplyDeleteI love Downton Abbey too - I can't wait for season 5 to come back on TV here. It's finished in the UK, so I don't know what's taking so long! I really need to read and watch Gone Girl sooner than later. :) I also haven't tried an audiobook before, but it's definitely something I need to give a go.
Thanks Ebony, and you're welcome! It always seems to take so much longer for shows to air here which is annoying, but I'm sure Downton will be worth the wait :) Gone Girl certainly is a book that stood out for me this year, hope you like it too.
DeleteThanks so much for nominating me! Sorry it's taken me so long to come around and take a look at this. I've been completely MIA when it comes to blogging but I promise to get back into the game. Especially since hols are coming up ;D I am a summer girl as well and my birthday is also in summer! *high five* I think the bed and the couch is the #1 place to read but I would love to try a hammock as well! Thanks for nominating me, I'll be sure to do this soon
ReplyDeleteThat's no problem Francoise, I know what you mean, I can't wait for holidays either! I'd love to try reading in a hammock too, it's something to tick off the list :)
