The TMI Tag - Book Blogger Edition


Hey guys, I saw this on Charlie's blog so I thought I would do it as a way for us to get to know each other better. Tell me in the comments below what your answers would be and let's see how we compare. 

Here is a link for Charlie's tag and blog: https://fandomsontherun.wordpress.com/2014/10/07/tmi-tag-book-blogger-edition/



1. Which fictional character has the best style?

I think in our hearts we all know that the true winner of the best style award would be Dolores Umbridge. I mean check out those cardigans.


I'm kidding! I'm kidding!

Best style award in my opinion goes to Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games.

I just really love the way she is bold and confident with her clothing choices. I think she kicks butt in the fashion and beauty world of Panem. My favourite dress of hers is the stunning and captivating butterfly dress.






2. Your book boyfriend/girlfriend/fictional crush?

Park, from Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor and Park or Victor, Uriel or Yves Benedict from Joss Stirling's Benedict brothers series.

3. Ever loved a character, but then started hating them? 

Oh there have been way to many of those haha.

4. Biggest or longest book on your shelf?

I think that might be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but I'm not sure. Actually now I'm thinking about it, it might be War and Peace, or Les Mis.

What kind of question is that? There are literally so many. Um, okay, almost all the ships from the Harry Potter series, Haymitch and Effie from the Hunger Games, Karla and Saul from the Benedict brothers series, Phoenix and Yves from the Benedict brothers series, Will and Lyra from His Dark Material - yeah I'm going to stop before this turns into a blog post of it's own.
