The Bookshelf Tag!!

I've seen this tag going around of late, and I'm so happy to be tagged by my amazing new bestie (oh the joys of the blogger world :D) Fran over at My Crazy Bookish World!
You know what they say, you can never have too many tags! .....no wait, that's what I said.....with the last tag I did.....whoops! *cackles*

It's pretty simple, I just answer 10 bookish questions and show a pic of my shelf......WAIT WHAT?!?! A PICTURE OF MY SHELF?!?! *WHINES* Whyyyyy? My physical shelf is pitiful. I don't even HAVE a shelf. Or a set of books worthy of a shelf :( *dramatic sob*
Impatient Belle: *rolls eyes* Get on with the Q&A woman!

*cough* Okaayy let's start! ;)

Is there a book you really want to read but haven't because you know that it'll make you cry?
Love and Other Unknown Variables? I'm not sure if I'll actually cry, but it's meant to be kinda saaaad....I think....^^

Pick one book that helped introduce you to a new genre.
Vampire Academy introduced me to awesome vampire YA (see how I totally skipped the sparkly versions XD)

Find a book that you want to re-read.
The Darkest Minds! I haven't reread it for a while now :O

Is there a series you read but wish you hadn't?
Not really....

If your house was burning down and all your family and pets were safe, which book would you go back inside to save?
Well since I have practically no books, this question is pretty straight forward ;) I'd snatch my iPad and my HoF hardcopy!

Is there a book on your shelf that brings back fond memories?
The Quest Begins (Seekers #1) by Erin Hunter. I got this for my birthday a few years ago.....back when reading books about talking bears was hip :P #greattimes 

Find a book that inspired you the most!
My most recent read, Reclaiming the Sand is quite inspiring so I'll go with that :)

Do you have any autographed books?
.....nooooooo! *bursts out crying*

Find the book you have owned the longest.
Well when I was 8, HP and the Deathly Hallows was released in the local bookstore and my parents bought a copy....it's not teechnically mine.....but I'm still claiming it anyway ;) So yeah.

Is there a book by an author that you never imagined you would read or enjoy?
Hmm not really. I tend to only pick up a book if I think I'll like it.....that's what most people do....right? o.O

And to end this tag, I have to post a photo of my bookshelf! Or not >.<
You really don't want to see a room with no books. It's depressing XD

In honor of IG I'm tagging some lovelies I follow there:
Jules over at The Book of Jules
Mina over at Aesaza
Tanja over at Ja čitam, a ti?
Millicent over at Millicent Nankivell
Ivey over at The Hopeless Reader

20 Things You Might Not Know About Me Tag

Hey there peeps! Belle 'ere! I knoww, I'm totally bombing the blog with tags lately, but I can't help it :P .....in fact we aka the Misses still need to do the Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag and the Book Gif Tag because we got tagged for both a while ago and still haven't got around to posting it up.....and now Cass is off in Mongolia so more waiting XP
Geeky Belle: *makes note to round up Misses in the near future to do tags*
So yeahh, I know there's a lot of tags going around, but they're soooo fuun, so I'm just gonna roll with it ;) Cool? Cool.

So today I'm gonna be doing the 20 Things You Might Not Know About Me Tag! Thanks Tika and Bless mah newest besties over at Fangirl Confessions and Mischievous Reads respectively for tagging me :P
The title makes the tag obvious, so yesss, there are 20 questions which you might not know my answers to, and basically....I answer them. Simple as that :D Hehe let's do this! *rubs hands together*

Question 1: How tall are you?
*cough* Just over 5 feet. In other words, short. Very short. In fact, out of all the dancers in my dance school, I'm only as tall as the 10 year olds. It's sad xD

Question 2: Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what?
Hidden talent? *raises eyebrow* Hmm, well.....I can do this weird thing with my throat.....but I have no idea how, why or what, and I wouldn't consider it a talent anyway o.O
Ohh! I'm pretty good at memorizing things! Last year I memorized about 2/3 of the Periodic Table ;) And I'm kinda smart, if I do say so myself.....not to be cocky or anythang XDD But I did do year 11 and 12 equivalent Chemistry last year when I was 14.....tis my greatest achievement evaaaahh!

Question 3: What’s your biggest blog-related pet peeve?
 We use G+ as the comment system on FM, and it irritates me to no end when G+ somehow plays up or sumfin and refuses to let me directly answer a comment -___-

Question 4: What’s your biggest non-blog related pet peeve?
When people eat with their mouth open. Urghh. Sometimes my brother does it on purpose to annoy me, and grrrr does it work or what? >.<

Question 5: What’s your favorite song?
I don't have a favorite song because just like books, there's simply loads of cool songs coming out all the time! But the first songs/singers/bands that come to mind are:
•Missy Higgins
•Iggy Azalea
•Florence + The Machine
•Justin Timberlake
•One Republic
•The Neighbourhood
•Two Steps From Hell
•Christina Perri
•Ed Sheeran
•Borrow My Heart; Taylor Henderson
•Brave; Sara Bareilles
•All About That Bass; Meghan Trainor
•Pass That Dutch; Missy Elliott
Just to name a few......hehehehe I can keep going.....*grins and clamps hand over mouth*

Question 6: What’s your favorite Etsy shop that isn’t yours?
I don't use Etsy, but I've heard of it once or twice.....

Question 7: What’s your favorite way to spend your free time when you’re alone?
Reading, blogging, interneting (yessss interneting is now an official word! By order of....me :P), listening to music, watching movies, dancing, the occasional video game, sleeping......*winks*

Question 8: What’s your favorite junk food?
Doritos....pizza....fried icecream....Burger Rings....buttery popcorn....yuuuummmm.

Question 9: Do you have a pet or pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?
Yesssss :) Currently (we've had loads of other pets in the past but I won't get into that XD) two cutesy female British Shorthair cats....also known as Garfield cats :P
Technically the tri-colored one, ShiShi, is my brother's, and the blue one, Cupcakes, is mine. And ShiShi is Cupcakes's mother....so I've known Cupiiiicakes all her life *grins*

Question 10: What are your number one favorite nonfiction and fiction books?
I don't read non-fiction, but my total fav fiction is Throne of Glass! <3 Aaaand my HoF copy just arrived last night! Squee!

Question 11: What’s your favorite beauty product?
*snickers* Uhhh.....sooo.....I only recently started wearing a bit of makeup now and again, so I'm more the “ohh-looksies-some-unidentifiable-branded-eyeliner! That'll do!” kinda person lol

Question 12: When were you last embarrassed? What happened?
I don't remember when the last time was, per say, but the one that sticks out most in my mind is my incredible knack of introducing myself as “my brother's BROTHER” *winces* I've done it like 3 times now! *facepalm*

Question 13: If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Umm, probably Cascade Apple Isle :) I've always loved that stuff!

Question 14: What’s your favorite movie?
Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa BUDDY! You do not tell a movie fanatic to pick a favourite movie o.O That's just......meaaan. *pauses* Yeaahh that was a terrible comeback, hush. XD

Question 15: What were you in high school: prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, prep?
*quirks brow* Well firstly I've been homeschooled since 2nd grade, and secondly, I don't think Aussie schools are like that. I'm pretty sure that this American high school cliché doesn't exist here.....for one we don't have football teams, which means no cheerleaders and not really any jocks *shrugs*
But if I was to self-classify, hmm......that's kinda impossible XDD I'm a little bit nerd status with how much of my time is monopolized by my school work, and I get really high scores a lot so I guess I could take a shot at valedictorian, I dance, I've done a bit of drama before and have quite a few drama friends, and my clothing style is just the way I like it. Aka really funky and fickle xD I love wearing odd bits and pieces! I must visit thrift shops when I go to America one day! They'd be like heaven to meee *beams*

Question 16: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
I'd love to visit a million different places, but as for settling down in one place, I'd want it to be somewhere nice and sunny! I hate the cold brrrrrr *shivers* The first places that come to mind are Cairns and California.

Question 17: PC or Mac?
MAC! I have one, and duuudee is it awesomesauce!

Question 18: Last romantic gesture from a crush, date, boy/girlfriend, spouse?
Don't and have never had one.....soooo o.O

Question 19: Favorite celebrity?
I don't really buy into the 'celebrity craze'......I mean, in the end they're just people like us, but if I had to pick, probably Jennifer Lawrence because I've seen some interviews on TV and she's hilarious ;)

Question 20: What blogger do you secretly want be best friends with?
That's an interesting one.....I could mention a bunch of bloggers, but I don't want to go on a craze, so I'll keep it to a few....
Sunny over at A Sunny Spot and Fran over at My Crazy Bookish World (I'm so jealous btw! I wanna see The Maze Runner soooo baad and my mum is refusing to let me! >.< Grrrrr)! I think it would be a new and exciting experience to chat with other Aussie teen bloggers :)
Ohh! And also Inge, who's a co-blogger over at Bookshelf Reflections! Her 'about me' is just so hilarious and I keep hearing it in a particular English accent.....*cough*BillyConnollyinGarfield2*cough* SMITHEE!!! XDD
(and fear not, dear Tika and Bless, for I already claim you as my besties *ominous music* You're stuck with me now mwahahahah)

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Another *cough*late*cough* Addition to the Misses Blog!

Hey y'all! Tia here ^^ so considering that I have recently joined the FM and know what it's like being the new kid *winks* I think I'll start the Q&A for our new addition: Ryann aka LittleMissPessimist! *clears throat and begins questioning*

Tia: Why did you get into blogging?
Ryann: I never did write reviews for books unless I felt extreme emotion towards them, but I realised that when I do write detailed reviews I feel all happy for getting my opinion out there, and since you guys had a blog that I was totally invited to and I had lots of time I wanted in XD I'm kinda bored...
Cass: *overhears from sideline* You joined because you were bored?! *cries* But great to have ya here, bud ;)

Tia: What weapon would you choose in a zombie apocalypse?
Ryann: NORMAN :D Norman is my beautiful compound bow that has served as my sidekick since... Christmas! Yeah! I'm not that good though and I can't find half of my arrows :P

Tia: What are your favorite genres?
Ryann: Um... YA? XD The books I read these days are either romance, contemporary, or supernatural... No judgy-judgy, kk?

Tia: What do you do in your spare time?
Ryann: In my spare time I like to watch anime, read (no kidding), ummm... Play the Attack on Titan Tribute Game, courtesy of Feng Lee, write... Mer. I sound so lonely XD OH! I like shooting :D 

Tia: What animes are your favorites?
Ryann: SUCH a beautiful question ~ What to pick, what to pick... Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, Angel Beats, Naruto, Clannad, Durarara, Blue Exorcist, Hetalia.. Ummm... I love anime <3 Ouran High School Host Club, Sword Art Online (I don't find it entirely overrated, unlike SOME people... But to be fair, I hadn't heard about it until I watched it. I thought it was some anime about art XD), Attack on Titan (epic plot, not so epic MC)... That might be about it for some of my favourites :/ Diabolik Lovers, Uno X Boku SS, Kamisama Hajumemashita... I think that's it, for real this time XD
Tia: That sure is a lot of animes *wide eyes*

Tia: What was your first YA book?
Ryann: The City of Bones ;) So cliche. Ah well, it was beautiful when I read it...Four years ago XP I still love the series, just not the ending so much. I can't wait for Lady Midnight though <3

Tia: Milk, Dark, or White chocolate? This is very important xD
Ryann: Milk chocolate :D I like dark chocolate of course, but it leaves this bitter aftertaste on my tongue that feels unpleasant after a couple of pieces. I could eat milk chocolate for hours~ Oh... I don't remember ever trying white chocolate by itself 0_o Is it good? XD
Tia: I think that it tastes okay...not better than dark or milk though xD
Cass: I don't like white chocolateee..

Tia: What do you look forward to as you start your first year of high school?
Ryann: Um. Um. Well, it's school... I don't really want to meet a whole bunch of new people, that's just more people to watch out for :P However *off topic*, I saw a very attractive male specimen today when I was walking around looking for my Geo class... His dad and my dad gave each other what one-armed bro hug thing, when they grab hands, pull each other in, and then give the other guy a slap on the back... His son and I made eye contact and we kinda shrugged and I held my hand out and said my name was Ryann, but he didn't answer, just shook my hand... So we are presented with three options. One, I am unattractive. Two, he's gay. Three, he's shy :P I HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT HIS NAME SINCE I GOT HOME LIKE WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! Oh, I did hear him say that he has the same Geo teacher as me... Is it bad that I hoped we were in the same class? XD But anyways, I guess I just want to pass all my classes while managing to have some fun or my life is going to be miserable. I'm in all honors and one AP class, and I really want to do well so I don't have to repeat anything. It's a miracle that I passed Algebra, so I'm hoping Rachel and Tia will help me again if I need it, and maybe Belle ^.^ So there's your answer, academic success XD

Tia: Academic success is the best thing to look forward to XD But learning that guy's name has it's perks *winks*
Belle: Yeshhh yeshhh 'course I'll help :P
Cass: XD Nice Rhy. and I like how I'm the only person you wouldn't come for maths help mwahaha... which is kind of sad o.O

Tia: *looks around for the others* Oi! Where y'all be at? I can't do this questioning all on my own!

Cass: I like watching you struggle for questions..heheh juss kiddinnn. You're the one who wanted to start it off xD

Tia: I didn't mean for you guys to let me do it all! *shakes head in exasperation*

Cass: Mmkay hold yer hippogriffs, woman. *thinks*
Belle: I've been doing maaath *whines* You guys seem like you have everything under control.....sooo I'll....just......bee......goinggg....? *flashes grin and attempts to sneak off*
Cass: xD Belle, come back here and brainstorm. *shuffles papers* I've thought of a few :D

Cass: What is your favourite name for a girl and a guy?

Ryann: For a girl? Umm, probably something unusual. I like the name "Tala" a lot, but I don't think it's something I would name a child. For a boy? I'm sorn between Noah and Jason. Don't ask me why, please don't XD

Tia: *pipes up* What are you torn between Noah and Jason, Ryann? *mischievous smile*

Ryann: XD I love Noah, I would literally name my kid Noah, but Jason? I just like the way it sounds to me okay XD IT DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE SENSE TO YOUUUU

Tia: *cackles and lets Cass continue*

Cass: What are your top five countries?

Ryann: Um. I had to think about countries for a moment XD I got them confused with continents. *Ponders Hetalia*
1. Japan
2. Russia
3. Germany
4. South Italy (I had Romano there for a while before I remembered WHAT Romano was XD THEY USED TO BE SEPERATE OKAY?!)
5. Prussia ^.^
You didn't say that they still had to exist... XD
Cass: Get confused with continents *facepalm*

Cass: What do you wish to do the most, no matter how ridiculous it is?

Ryann: I want to fly. I'm serious, I want to sprout some wings and fly. I don't know why really. Maybe because if I could, I would always be free.
Tia: I would fly too ^^ good choice Rhy!

Cass: How tall are you?
Tia: Cass...you need to get over your hangups about being short XD
Cass: Shuddupp -_-' Says the person only 2-3 inches taller *sticks tongue out*
Ryann: I am approximately 5'5 ^.^ Ey, I'm in third on the height scale around here!
Cass: XD Nooooo... why did I think you were 5"3? o.O You too tall, man
Belle: *pops in and nods along with Cass* Tis not fair! :O

Cass: What's your theme song?
Ryann: My theme song? Well... It's either "Numb" by Linkin Park, "Unwell" by Matchbox 20, or "My Demons" by Starset. I'm leaning towards "My Demons" today :P

Cass: What instrument do you want to learn the most?
Ryann: I like listening to music, but I'm not a fan of playing. Something to fit my personality XD You tell me.
Tia: I think you would be good playing the guitar...what do you think Cass?
Cass: Guitar? Ooo... how bout the electric guitar? That's a pretty awesome instrument xD
Belle: Bahaha Cass ;) Yeah probs guitar ^^ I don't know many instruments and that's the best bet XD

*looks up at questions* Well I think that's about all we have for you tonight! If any of you want to ask Ryann any other questions feel free! She doesn't bite...often XD
