So let's get on with the tag! *rubs hands excitedly*
Questions I was asked:
1. What do you do for fun?
I'm already cracking up at the first question because the ideal answer would be: nothing! I read books all the time! I DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR FUN!
But if you want a proper answer, hmm. I can't really decide on anything so I'll have to stick to the next-best answer: watching TV. (I'm a really boring person that way) But sometimes when I'm really bored and nothing I'm reading seems to be able to grab my attention, I go on a scavenger hunt around my house to see what I can do randomly.
Oh, I re-arrange my bookshelf for fun at times, and I REAAALLLY enjoy doing it. It kind of gives me a sense of purpose but at the end of the day, I just re-shelf the books back the way they were arranged initially on my bookshelf. I'll never find the books I actually want on my bookshelf if I keep re-arranging them!

2. Name your current obsession.
THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS BY RICK RIORDAN. *sighs*
3. How did you get into blogging?
It all started with Youtube. I wasn't an internet-y sort of person back then but I absolutely loved watching Booktube videos! (Favourite Booktube people post about to come soon!) I enjoyed watching these book lovers talk about books and the shenanigans they were up to! Soon, I was having thoughts of starting a book blog where I could ramble about books on, all day long.
4. What's you favourite TV show right now?
Gaaahh. Like I said above, I watch TV for fun so I guess I don't really have any TV shows that are my favourite. I just flick from channel to channel and try to find something that piques my interest.
5. Would you rather stay high up in the mountain, deep in the forest or by the beach?
The beach, I think, would be too sandy for my comfort and if it's a beach that people visit often, it would be very noisy and I don't think I would like that. Forests have tons of mosquitoes so that's a no too. I think the mountains would be a good place to live. I'd enjoy the cool wind and also the hushed atmosphere!
6. Sunset or sunrise?
Sunrise. I like to wake up early in the morning to feel the cool morning air and all that. I'm a natural early riser and it actually bothers me to get up late. I've always had this habit of waking up early since I was small and I find that it makes me very relaxed.
Sunsets actually make me feel sad. The melancholy feeling I get in the evening makes me really uncomfortable.

7. What is your favourite time of the day?
Like I said above, mornings. I get this feeling of being able to accomplish things better in the morning! *shrugs* I think it has something to do with the cool, fresh air, the relaxing quietness of it all, and the right amount of sunlight coming through my window. Mornings are also the perfect time for me to read.
8. What is the most random thing you ever did to someone?
This has to be the most random question ever! I do random things all the time though, but unfortunately I have such. A. Poor. Memory.
9. Do you have a favourite quote?
Yes, I have! I don't really remember my favourite quotes like some people do nor do I save them on Goodreads, but here's one quote I loved so much that I printed it out and stuck on my bedroom wall to look at every day:
Be brave.
Does it really count as a quote? Nah, I don't even care. (If you know which book this quote is from, I love you.) I can't even begin to tell you how much I depend on this quote sometimes. I need bravery the most in my life, and this quote is always there to remind me to have faith in myself and just be brave. It's not too long and it's easy to remember and repeat to myself when I lack courage.
10. What are you most afraid of?
Eeek. I have so many fears I'd probably take hours to finish the fear simulation test in Dauntless. The two most terrifying of the bunch though, I think, are not being given the chance to choose and tight spaces. I might not consider myself claustrophobic (okay, maybe just a little) but I do get a bit anxious when I'm in tight spaces with low ceilings, especially if I think I can't get out. I'm also very terrified of taking the lift. I'd take the stairs anytime.
