I love every back story, maybe except for Julian (not much) and Tariq and Talia.

I love books! As I'm not an adult I don't read the books that some of you might read

I'm not an adult either haha
I'm a fan of The Selection series, Me Before You, 1984, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I read them occasionally, but it really depends.

So here's the thing, I used to be the biggest bookworm I knew. I would stay up all night reading a book. When the 'rents told me I had to go to bed, I used to sit in the bathroom and read. Now the only books I really read are the ones we have to study in English.
Favourite Character: It would probably be Daniel X -geez, it's been a whole since I've read those. Just the whole 'tough, charismatic guy with the heart wrenching past' story always gets to me. Or the "tough guy who's been strong for too long" -that's a good one.
Least Favourite Character: I don't really know. Maybe Bella from Twilight (yes, I've read the Twilight series. They're actually not as bad as the movies). She was just, kinda...useless. Like, who crashes a motorcycle to get some guy's attention? Queue Koh's angry glare.
Favourite Book: I don't think I actually have one. Like, I've read a lot of good books but none of them stick out at the best. I really liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Jasper Jones (studied those in English). 'How to Amputate a Leg' (book about this Aussie cop/ex soldier sharing his stories -hilarious stuff). 'Nightmare Academy' (I read it when I was like nine). 'Deadlock' (this cop drama). Really enjoyed the Jack Reacher novels. I demolished one in a day once. 'Running Wild' (Michael Morpurgo) was a good one. I've read all the Hunger Games/Divergent/Mortal Instrument dystopian series and they're alright. For me, the whole love thing is kinda 'eh'. Like, I'm all up for a good romance but just don't let it take over the whole book, ya know?

Ahhhh! Books are the best!! I love them so much more than tv or movies! It's cliche, but i get so engrossed in the story that I feel like I'm actually in it! I actually read 11 books over the 2 weeks of school holidays. And I love sooo many books! Ofc I love Harry Potter, basically anyone who's read them does! And I really love The Named by Marriane Curley (not a fan of the sequels though). And The Thickety series by J.A. White is also AMAZING!! I can't wait until the final book is released next year! Another few good series are Fallen by Lauren Kate, Watersong by Amanda Hocking, and Seven Wonders by Peter Lerangis. I also like All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill (apparently there's a sequel, but I haven't read it yet).
Books are just the best!

A lot of the times books are better than movies. But that's because there's more content in a book. Or if the casting's like super wrong and you just can't look past it. But sometimes I prefer movies to books because it's just nice giving your eyes a break and just to have the story in front of you.

I agree because in movies they take parts out, and sometimes it's parts I liked in the book

To be honest, I'm not really into books. I just don't really like reading; albeit occasionally I'll find myself entranced in a book or something from time to time. Just the other day, I was reading my uncle's book the he and my aunt wrote about his life growing up, until now. I was reading it for about and hour or so, and I was just interested; I guess since he had such a crazy life, the stories seemed fictional because they were that bizarre. But other than that, I'm not really much of a reader, though my favorite genre would have to be fiction if I was going to name one.

I've loved reading basically since I was able to read, but my love was definitely solidified when I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when I was 8. My mum bought me the rest of the set and I devoured them within a week. I used to stay up past my bed time just to finish my story. Because I shared my room with my sister I had to hide under my bed covers, using a crappy colour-change light that I could only see with when the colours were red or green.

User, dude, similar with me! The 'rents used to have this whole "lights off after 7" kind of thing. So I would either use the moon as light. Or I would have to sit in the bathroom so I could read )br]Or I'll sit in my doorway where the light from downstairs barely made it up the stairs and read until I got caught I remember spending hours trying to teach myself how to see in the dark so I could read at night

I have no clue what I'm doing with my life. Probably going to uni, but I'm not sure what for.
