HTR tag + shit

SOOO i think about doing this HTR TAG AND SHIT bcs it seems like LOTS of FUN!!! *nerd*
ANYWAYS let's get down to brass tacks.
1. How do you find new books to read?
GR!! i'm on GR a lot when in need of good reads, just like i'm on MAL a lot when i need to know what's out this season, it's the easiest way so far to keep an eye out for new books and it gives you updates on your favorite authors too, whether they'll be releasing anything this month or year or two years from now or not at all because they're dead half a decade ago, all in reverse chronological order, it's pretty cool to say the least. i'm also following some of these real cool book-blogging sites like demonsread, and many other.




2. How did you get into reading?
i think it was a lifetime ago, my dad gave me the english ver of The Little Prince, and it wasn't even the book, it was the printouts, but i loved it to a fault i read it all the times, i used to like read it every day, a page, if not two, a day, and start all over from page 1 once i finished, until i discovered the website www.goodreads.com years later, i started adding every book to my WTR shelf, any and all with the best long and short, i remember it was Harry Potter i looked up in the web the very first time i logged in, since it's a book i was most familiar with, and then Stardust by Neil Gaiman and soon i found out about Pramoedya Ananta Toer whom my dad will always go on about, i may or may not have decided to read my whole life ever since.

3. How has your tastes in books changed since you've gotten older?
i used to love books that have anything to do with dragons and knight-errants where heroes win and evils die, and now i just love everything about them, every turn of page, every word, every up and down. either way i don't think it ever really changed at all, we kind of just grow in tandem? if that makes sense.

4. How often do you buy books?
i used to literally splurge on them very often, but not anymore. i bring home some from libraries nine times out of ten now, or purchase some ebooks online, or get the free of charge ones when i'm lucky (WHICH I ALWAYS AM), still buy the series i really like and the ones from my favorite authors though.

5. How did you get into book-blogging?
i…. didn't. i do share some spur-of-the-moment reviews on books and movies and mangas sometimes though pls look forward to it!!!

6. How do you react when you don't like the end of the books?
when i reach an end i dont want to see i'll shut the book, look about the room, and lie down to obsess over it for what could be hours. and then start cussing for all eternity and what's more, if it's an uber-sad ending i'll have to cry myself to sleep. totally amazing.

7. How often have you taken a sneaky look at the back of the page to see if it's a happy ending?
more often than i would like to admit since i can't stand a bad ending, so i better brace myself before the shit goes down.

8.  How many people are you going to tag, and who are they?
i'm tagging anyone willing to do this……….this has been really fun!!
