somethingaboutme I almost drowned in the Bahamas when my family and I went snorkeling. My mom’s vest wasn’t inflated correctly and she panicked. She started pushing me down and it if wasn’t for the employees on the boat who grabbed her and pulled her out, I think I would have drowned.

I was very tomboyish when I was a little girl. All my cousins are boys so I wanted to do everything they did. I didn’t like wearing dresses and preferred to play outdoors with them.

I’m deathly afraid of spiders, but there was once a time when I played with them during my childhood. In the Philippines, I remember climbing trees and looking for spiders in curled leaves. The kids over there would put the spiders in matchboxes, keep them as pets, and have them battle each other. Now, even daddy long legs creep me out.

I have the strangest fear of whales. Ever since I watched Castaway with Tom Hanks and saw that scene where he’s face to face with the whale. It’s not extreme and I can watch movies and shows about whales. But just thinking about encountering one in real life totally makes me cringe and scares me.

I’ve failed my driving test 4 times and have been nervous and scared to drive ever since that one time I failed very baldy. I did get my permit again this year and hoping that the 5th time is the charm.

I can eat lemons like they’re oranges and tomatoes like apples. I actually don’t like eating oranges, but I do love orange juice.

One of my life goals is to write a book. Even if it never gets published and only my friends and family read it.

Hey everyone! I saw this book tag on Firstbooklove’s Blog. I thought it would be really fun to do and I needed a quick break from work so I did it!!!

1. Which book, most recently, did you not finish? (Edit! So, I read this as which book I most recently finished… LOL. That’s how tired I am soooo I’m keeping at is, but if you’re just reading this now, feel free to answer the original question).

I recently finished reading Sinister Love by T.L. Smith. I actually wasn’t planning on reading this until next week, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to find out what happened to Ryken and Saskia. AND… this book was EVERYTHING and MORE. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better ending.

2. Which book is your guilty pleasure?

I don’t really have just one book, but I usually read NA romance books. Those are always my go to guilty pleasure reads!

3. Which book do you love to hate?

Mr60

I don’t really love to hate a book. I mean not intentionally — BUT, if there is one book that really annoyed me from 2017, that would be Mr. 60% by Clete Barrett Smith. I really didn’t like that book all that much.

4. Which book would you throw into the sea?

Most likely Mr. 60% and all the books I DNF. Okay maybe not throw into the sea… but donate or giveaway. Just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean others won’t.

5. Which book have you read the most?

thenotebook

I haven’t been rereading lately, so that last book I remember reading a lot was The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. BUT, there are so many books I would LOVE to reread again.

6. Which book would you hate to receive as a present?

I actually would never hate a book if I receive it as a present… BUT I probably would not really like it at all if someone gave me any type of Self-Help or Religious books.

7. Which book could you not live without?

twilight

Can I say all of them? I guess if I were to pick, it would be Twilight by Stephenie Meyer because it was the book that made me fall in love with reading.

8. Which book made you the angriest?

5dc95-tlsdistortedlovebookcover6x9_medium

Okay, I know I said this book/series was awesome and so well-written, but it also made me so incredibly angry. It’s not romantic at all – it’s dark, unsettling, and so twisted. It broke my heart over and over and I just wanted to scream and slap the characters so as much as I LOVE THIS series, it also made me angry.

9. Which book made you cry the most?

shorthistory

Any Nicholas Sparks book make me cry all the time. I can’t really think of one book that made me cry the most because I get emotional very easily and just cryyyyy. The last book that made me cry a lot was A Short History of the Girl Next Door by Jared Reck. That book really tore my heart into pieces.

10. Which book cover do you hate the most?
