So, I found this on the internet and I considered it pretty interesting. Everyone (who somehow manages to find this blog, God bless you) is welcome to do it on their blog.

1. One book that changed your life?
  Um, I don't think I ever read a book that changed my life, though.. I might say The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, and other books that are raising questions about religion, kinda make me question my own religion.

2. One book you have read more than once?
 REM - Mircea Cartarescu (Romanian that is); this book is an easy read, and it makes me (I don't know why) remember about my childhood.

3. One book you would want on a desert island?
 Well, I'd probably take one that I'd like to read before I die.. I'll go with Shogun by James Clavell. I'd like to see myself finishing that.

4. One book that made you laugh?
 I don't know why, but every Sherlock Holmes story makes me laugh. The relationship between Holmes and Watson is hilarious to me.

5. One book that made you cry?
 Well.. let's just say I'll never forget dear ol' Jo for killing Fred. THAT'S WHEN MY CHILDHOOD ENDED !!

6. One book you wish had been written?
 Pff.. there are lots. For instance I would've loved a Harry Potter prequel, an insider on the Maraunders' lifes before the war, or more Agatha Christie books, maybe one on Hercule Poirot's childhood.

7. One book you wish had never had been written?
 I can't wish that. Whether I like a book or not it's my opinion, but that "bad book" makes another kid read. So, every book was written for its own purpose.

8. One book you are currently reading?
 Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer. Though, the series kinda started to go downhill.

9. One book you have been meaning to read?
 Divergent by Veronica Roth. I won it a month ago and I never find the time to start it. 

2012 reading challenges.

I sure have something to do this year.

Book2Movie Challenge - I mainly have to read 12 books this year, and watch the movie made of that book, and also, review the books.

European Reading Challenge - I have to read between 1 and 5 European books to read, and if I review them, I have a chance to win a prize, depending on how many books I chose to read. I personally think I'll go with 5. Won't be that hard.

Startin'!

Hey guys, I'm Andreea, I'm not new on blogger, I've actually had a blog on another account, on which I wrote in Romanian (my first language), but things happened and I had to delete it, but that's alright because it was private (long story) anyway. I've wanted to open a book blog for a really long time now, but this isn't going to be just books, because I've blogged for two years, and I got addicted to writing interesting thing that happen to me, everyday or every moment that I feel the need to. I'm a blogger, so if I don't write my thoughts somewhere, bad things happen :D. Just to warn you, my writing style is a really childish, and sometimes I make references to movies/books/people, I might swear sometimes, I'm still trying to keep that under control, and since English is not my first language, I might have typos from time to time. You've been warned.
Oh, and also, when it comes to paranormal romances (or just paranormal) if it's not a classic, my rating is pretty strict, just because.. I can. No, let me elaborate that. You see, I'm not a fan of paranormal, I read it, but just because I see a lot of people reading it, or I hear stuff about it, or I just feel like reading paranormal. Yes, I actually do feel like reading paranormal sometimes; it's that thing when today you feel like reading something and then after a week you feel like reading another type of book. I'm not strict with classics, or the ones I consider to be classics, because in my opinion most paranormal nowadays is written just so the authors can win a couple of bucks. Don't decapitate me, that's just the way I think.
That being it :) I can't wait to start.
