Hello there,
Today we have Amy taking the Inside Out Challenge. I met Amy recently when she joined the #NorthernBookBloggers group.
First, please introduce yourself, including any blog
addresses or twitter handles you like.
Hi! My name is Amy and I’m currently a Wildlife Conservation
student, but I have always loved to read. I have been blogging on and off as a
hobby for the past 4 years-ish. You can find me here:
Can you tell me about a book you have read that made you
feel joy?
A book that made me feel joy would be The Hobbit by JRR.
Tolkien. My Mam bought this book for me one Christmas and since I have read it
around 3 times. She got it for me because she didn’t think I was old enough to
read Lord of the Rings just yet but loved Tolkien so much she wanted me to have
something of his. Every time I read this book I put back in the shire and it
makes me so happy!
What about a book that
filled you with sadness?
Most books I read make me cry I’m not going to lie about
that. A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley really filled me with sadness. It is
about a girl who travels back in time and she meets a family who are trying to
save Mary Queen of Scots. The whole time, you as the reader and the traveller,
know that the family will fail. It was genuinely heart breaking to read people
so hopeful when you know how the history plays out. Although this was an
amazing book I was filled with sadness for at least the 2nd half.
Have you read a book that made you feel angry?
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. I recently read this book
and I absolutely loved it. I was flying through this book and had to put it
down for a bit because some thing happened that made me so angry. The Love
TriangleTM… My most hated
YA trope, and there it was in the middle of this book that I was loving and
couldn’t fault. Then I read another chapter and realised that The Love TriangleTM
wasn’t actually a love triangle so everything was okay again.
Has a book ever disgusted you?
I have not read this book and I will not be reading this
book. It seems to be very popular right now with book reviewers. All the Ugly
and Wonderful Things. I do not want to read about a sexual romance between a
child and an adult. No thank you, thanks disgusting and wrong. Why are so many
okay with that book??
Can you tell me about a book that made you afraid?
The Girl in the Well by Rin Chupeco. So this girl in the
story is also the same girl from the popular horror movie ‘The Ring’. The Ring
terrified me when I was younger. Reading about that same girl really terrified
me at first. Also in the book you know that she is nearly because weird things
start happening with the lights. Well guess whose lightbulb started flickering
and then died while I was read it?
You guessed it, it was mine. I was so afraid that night that she was going to
come and get me.
And finally, can you tell me a little bit about a book that
you know inside out?
I am terrible at remembering book plots. Like even some of
my all-time faves I’m like ‘What happened again?’ We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is a plot I
remember so well. I think it is because when I read it everything was kinda
confusing and I was like ‘whut’ for most of it. But then I read the ending and
was like ‘omg’. I’ve told so many people to read it so I’m used to retelling
what happened. I just want everybody to read that ending, because its been
years and I am still not over it!
Thank you, Liam, for letting me take part in this. It was a
lot of fun! oxoxo
Thanks Amy, some really interesting books there, and it's always great to see some love for the Shire! I think it's one of my happy places too.
As ever, get in touch if you want to take part yourself, and there'll be someone else taking on the challenge next Wednesday.
Thank you for letting me take part! It was a lot of fun xoxox
