Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story?  If so, which one??


A. I am very sure that I have wanted a villain to win before many times, but not many come to mind. The only villain I can really think of is Stolen: A letter to my captor. I liked Ty, and I wish that what happened in the end didn't happen at all (no spoilers!!!).

Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?




A. I would change the ending of Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver. For those who have read it, were you really satisfied by the conclusion? I sure wasn't (but not enough to give it less than 5 stars, hehe). 

*SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!*
I just didn't like how Sam died. was it necessary for that? I think that if she learnt her lesson, she could get of that damn time loop. That's cheesy, I know, but I don't think it's fair that she sacrifices herself for Juliet. Besides, what has Juliet ever done for her in exchange?

Q. In books like the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series the paranormal creature in question "comes out of the closet" and makes itself known to the world. Which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?

A: I would choose fairies (or faeries), because they sound awesomely cool and I'd love to meet one. Don't you think they sound cool?

Yes! I'm back from my holiday... or more specifically, camp. I had a good rest, and now I'm back in the swing for bloggin'!

Q. If you could write yourself a part in a book, what book would it be and what role would you play in that book?

A. I would pick Divergent. My role would be a close friend of Tris'. I would be in Amity, duh (*ahem* I'm pro-Amity all the way), and I will help save Tris and the other escapees in Insurgent. If that is what happens.

Q. What new genres are you in love with currently?
A. At the moment, I am really loving dystopians. But not normal dystopians. Only adventure ones. To be honest, I haven't read many of them so far but I really love them! I also like realistic fiction dealing with common teen issues. They are amazing to read and I can relate to them more easily.

Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).
A. Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. No doubt about it. This was my first major step to Obsessive-reading-land! I read the first Harry Potter book when I was 7 years old though, so luckily I got a good, early start!

Q. Let's step away from books for a second and get personal. What T-Shirt slogan best describes you?
A. Haha, this is tricky! I've never really thought about it... maybe: 'Out of this World, literally.'
This is how it may look (I know close to nil on fashion design, so sorry that it looks so lame)! Oh, and there was no option for a female model.

Now, guess what? 'A Novella's Tale' is the featured blog for this week! I'd love to thank Rachel (Parajunkee's View) and Alison (Alison Can Read) for giving me this terrific opportunity to be featured. So, thank you! Also, if you've visited this blog, please leave a comment and a link to your blog URL below. I will follow you once you do :)


Let's get to the main point now...

Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from?

The first author I would choose would be J.K. Rowling. Haha, I'm sure everyone expected that. But the reason why I'd love to talk to her would be because she's created a phenomenon book series. She's a fantastic example of rags to riches. What is her secret to being so successful? I'd like to know.












The second author would have to be Hans Christian Anderson. I absolutely LOVE his fairytales (and yes, I do believe that you're never too old for them!) and it's incredible that his stories have been passed from generation to generation, almost without getting a scratch or dent. By that, I mean that the stories we are told are pretty much the same as the ones our grandparents heard of when they were young.






Finally, I would love to have a chat with Anne Frank. I understand that she's not really an author, but I find her very inspirational. Barely any of us can relate to her, but yet, she is someone we could easily have a conversation with on the street. Thinking of her shifts my mood from depressed to hopeful. If she believed that she could survive the Holocaust, I can definitely get over my bad hair day.


Which three authors would YOU pick? I'm interested to know!!!

To this week's question:

Q: What do I do when I'm not reading?


A: LOL, a lot of stuff, actually! I watch TV, eat, sleep, finish off homework, hop onto the computer (that includes GoodReads and blogging) and generally muck around. Oh yes, and I go to school.
