Answering my own Q's

So after writing the questions for Bella I realized that I wanted to answer them myself. And I did. So here are my own answers to my questions:

        Kiss, marry or kill? Kaidan Rowe (Sweet Evil), Edward Cullen (Twilight), Galen (Syrena Legacy).

Kiss Galen, marry Kaidan and kill Edward. Sorry Eddie boy but the time for crushing on you has passed.

      Favorite color?

Black, like my soul. No but seriously I like black. Also burgundy, and like a darker purple color.

      If you had a supernatural power what would it be?

Like I said in the previous post I’d be able to copy everyone else powers. Like if I touch them I get their powers.

      Your living room is flooded and your bookshelves are getting wet. Which book do you save first?

I don’t own bookshelves. But if I did I don’t know what I’d save. Probably if I had any signed books I’d save those.

        Was the movie better than the book? Have you ever seen a movie that was better than the book it was based on?

Not that I can recall. I haven’t read the Hobbit but I’ve heard people say the movies were better. I honestly don’t know.

      Favorite supernatural creature? Nephilim, vampire, werewolf, faerie etc.

Nephilim, hands down. There are a lot of different versions out there, but still. GO TEAM NEPH!

      Favorite fictional boyfriend? Or girlfriend.

Boyfriend = Kaidan Rowe. Girlfriend = Isabelle Lightwood (TMI) at least so far.

      Favorite book character of all time?

Ugh. Can’t complain I came up with the question myself. But it’s a tough one. Hmm. I’d like to say Sherlock Holmes but that’s hardly fair since I haven’t actually read any Sherlock. So I’m gonna have to go with Alice Cullen, ‘cause she’s bad ass.

        Who’d you rather be friends with? Bella Swan (Twilight) or Anna Whitt (Sweet Evil)?

Anna. ‘Cause Bella is such a whiny bitch. No but seriously. I relate to Anna way more than Bella and also Anna can take care of herself. But isn’t it ironic that my fictional boyfriend is Kai who’s Anna’s crush/boyfriend in the books? What a good friend I am!

       The evil bastard you couldn’t help falling in love with? (Mine’s the Darkling from Shadow and Bone)

Well yes mine’s still the Darkling from Leigh Bardugo’s “Shadow and Bone”. Maybe that’ll change after I read “Siege and Storm” but who knows?

        Lastly, which book do you crave most at the moment? Your #1 book wantie?

My number one book wantie is. Wait for it. “Sweet Temptation” by Wendy Higgins. Can you tell I love Wendy Higgins?

Well that was fun!

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (Grisha #1)

Original title: Shadow and Bone

Year published: 2012

Published by: Indigo

Number of pages: 308

First sentence: “The servants called them malenchki, little ghosts, because they were the smallest and the youngest, and because they haunted the Duke’s house like giggling phantoms, darting in and out of rooms, hiding in the cupboards to eavesdrop, sneaking into the kitchen to steal the last of the summer peaches.”

Plot: Alina Starkov is a mapmaker in the King’s army. When she along with her group ventures out into the cursed place known as the Fold something happens. Alina is whisked away by a man, if you can call him a man, known as the Darkling to train with others like her. She soon understands that things are not always as they seem.

My thoughts: I did not think I was going to like it, my expectations weren’t that high. But I’m not sorry I read it, I’m only sorry I didn’t read it sooner. I loved this book. Leigh Bardugo has created her own world, a world I fell in love with. Hell she even came up with a new language, it kind of sounds like Russian, which was what I first thought but I found out it wasn’t. And the Grisha, wow. I love reading about the powers they have and how they look. I want to be Grisha as well, haha. I really liked the character of Alina, she’s so plain, at least the way she looks and I love that because it’s easier to relate to someone who doesn’t look like a supermodel. And the Darkling, W-O-W, I totally fell in love with that character, I even had to google grey quartz because I needed to know what his eye color was, haha. He was one of those characters who is rumored to be evil but then once you got to know him he’s actually kind of a nice guy, and then BAM! Yep, totally ruin me that man did. I would love to see this as a movie and I did read somewhere that someone had bought the rights to do the movie so let’s hope for it soon!

Favorite quote: “The problem with wanting, is that it makes us weak”

Like I told you yesterday I got the next book in the Grisha trilogy; Siege and Storm yesterday, so I’m planning to read that as soon as I get a chance.

Do I recommend this book? Hell yes! Read it, fall in love with the world, the language and the Darkling and then let me know what you think.
