Come up with 11 questions for your nominees!

Here are my 11, probably not very, interesting facts about me:

1. No one, bar my boyfriend and a close friend know about this blog. I’ve managed to keep it completely anonymous.
2. My eyes change colour: mainly between blue and green, but sometimes grey too. This happens the most when I cry, but can also change depending on what I wear or the mood I’m in.
3. My favourite book of all time is Harry Potter. A popular choice but I started reading them when I was about 7 or 8 years old and was hooked from the very beginning.
4. I’m addicted to beauty videos on youtube, like seriously addicted!!
5. If I’m at home for any period of time, you can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be in either my pyjama’s or a onesie.
6. I ALWAYS have cold feet, always!!
7. My favourite colour is blue… It’s varied in shade of blue (e.g when I was around 18 it was more of a teal shade, whereas now it’s a pale powder blue), but it’s been blue for as long as I remember.
8. I’m currently trying to learn Welsh, although it can be seen as a dying language it’s in my heritage and I really want to be able to speak it confidently enough to hold a conversation.
9. I’m a really fussy eater. I wish I liked a lot more food than I do, and I’m getting better at trying food but the thought of trying something new makes me feel really anxious and panicky It’s something I’ve been working on since I was a child.
10. I’m painfully shy! It pains me to just think about walking up to a strange and introduce myself. I really don’t know how people can do it.
11. My birthday is just a few days before christmas and I dream of snow on my birthday every single year!

My answers to the questions set by Jet:

1. What would your patronus be?
I think my patrons would be a frog, not an ugly and warty toad or anything, but the cute rainforest tree frogs. I honestly think they are the cutest little things!

2. Who is your favourite Greek God?
My favourite Greek God is Poseidon. I love swimming and have always just felt comfortable in the water, so this was a no brainer.

3. If you could write a story like Harry Potter, what would you name your main character? eg. Isla Inkwell and the Astronomer’s Stone.
Hmmmmmmm this is where my creativity fails me, I can’t pull myself away from real characters names

4. What is your favourite genre to read?
I go through a lot of phases when it comes to genres but at the moment I would probably say that is crime or fantasy books, I can’t choose!!

5. Which would you rather be: Shadowhunter, Wizard at Hogwarts, Gallagher Girl, Alien from Lorien, Divergent in Dauntless, Tribute of the Hunger Games, Agent of Spectrum, Consulting Detective, Doctor’s Companion, or a Targaryen?
Straight away my mind was saying it’s obviously a wizard at Hogwarts, but then I got to Targaryen and I was a little bit torn. I think I would ultimately have to choose a wizard at Hogwarts though, I need to be Hermione!!

6. What book got you hooked on reading?
One hundred percent Harry Potter!!

7. What inspired your blog name?
When choosing my blog name I knew from the start that I wanted to keep it anonymous and not really tell anyone I know about it. So I started thinking about what it was I want to write about, but I didn’t want to limit the subject too much. Like referencing a specific Genre or only reviews which is where I decided I wanted to use the word bookish within the blog name. The rest just came to me over the following couple of days.

8. What element would you like to manipulate/bend; water, fire, earth, air, metal, or spirit?
Definitely water!! I could be just like Poseidon!

9. What is your favourite read of this year?
My favourite read of the year so far must be Cinder by Marissa Meyer.

10. Who is your favourite character of all time?
My favourite character of all time is Luna Lovegood. I love how unapologetically weird and quirky she is. She has her own strange world that she lives in and literally couldn’t care less what other people think.

11. If you could date one fictional character, who would it be… and why?
If I could date one fictional character….. hmmmmm, possibly Emmett from Twilight, controversial I know, but I am in neither team Edward nor team Jacob 😮
