Hey Bookies!

BuzzFeed is a goldmine for quizzes, and I love it when they post bookish quizzes! This week's quiz pays homage to the game "Would You Rather?"

Questions on the bookish quiz range from Would you rather have a friend who loses your books, or one who dog-ears them? to Would you rather lose your place or get a paper cut every time you read a book? And each time you answer a question you get the percentage of votes for each answer option selected.

So— are you ready to know what book sings to your soul? Find out now!

Here are a few of my answers below:

I chose to date a character I have a crush on. . . I mean, come on! No-brainer!

Jamie Fraser - Outlander

Martin Caden - Snow Falling

I would rather read a book with an annoying cliffhanger -__-

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

I love the smell of new books and the crisp, clean pages so-- bookstore it is!

Plus I get to dig into the not-yet released books in the back.

Want to take the quiz? Hop on over to BuzzFeed.

Happy Reading!

The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton

Publisher: Tor Books

Release Date: March 27, 2018
Pages: 576

The Story:

Dynasties battle for the crown in Tessa Gratton's debut adult epic fantasy, The Queens of Innis Lear.

Three Queens. One crown. All out war.

Gaela. Ruthless Commander.
I am the rightful heir of Innis Lear. No more will I wait in the shadows and watch my mother’s murderer bleed my island dry.

The King’s hold on the crown must end―willingly or at the edge of my sword.

Regan. Master Manipulator.
To secure my place on the throne, I must produce an heir. Countless times I have fed the island’s forests my blood. Yet, my ambition is cursed.

No matter what or whom I must destroy, I will wield the magic of Innis Lear.

Elia. Star-blessed Priest.
My sisters hide in the shadows like serpents, waiting to strike our ailing king. I must protect my father, even if it means marrying a stranger.

We all have to make sacrifices. Love and freedom will be mine.
