We've hit the one-month mark of 2017, and in turn, one month of pursuing our reading goals. Although I'm slightly ahead of schedule, I've hit a few snags with a couple of books I couldn't get through, either because they were due back at the library, or because the material was very difficult to get through. I'm learning fairly early on in my reading challenge that not everything goes according to plan—and that's okay.
I also have a REALLY exciting blog post coming up soon (well, it's certainly exciting for me.) Let's just say if you like nerding out about organization, books and home decor, you will enjoy this upcoming blog post. That's all I can say for now...
Now on to the fun stuff. While watching some videos on BookTube (AKA the book community on YouTube), I came across the A to Z Bookish Survey by the Perpetual Page-Turner and decided to give it a go. Let me know in the comments if you have any of these answers in common!

Author you’ve read the most books from:
If I'm not counting J.K. Rowling, it's Ellen Hopkins.

E-reader or physical book?
I like reading in different formats.
Fictional character you probably would have actually dated in high school:
Neville Longbottom (because he's similar to my actual boyfriend.)
Glad you gave this book a chance:
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I haven't read it yet, but I think I may like it.
Hidden gem book:
I seem to remember liking Please Don't Kill the Freshman by Zoe Trope when I was young, but I don't know anyone else whose read it.
Important moment in your reading life:
When I discovered Harry Potter was written by a woman, I realized I could write books. I know that just sounds so sad, but it's true. That was the moment I decided I wanted to be a writer.

Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
"It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I’d known, maybe I’d have kept tighter hold of them, and not let unseen tides pull us apart.
— Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Reading regret:
I regret not belonging to a fandom (other than Harry Potter.) I wish I had more sense of a bookish community growing up.

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.
