Haha. I&#8217;m pretty sure I won&#8217;t finish this if I had to go through the questions daily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">*    *    *<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 001: How many books have you read so far this year?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis year? Uhm. Lemme see if I can remember all of them.  So far I&#8217;ve finished Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, Ash, Huntress, Confessor, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Hours, Game On! (by Jayda Evans). Currently I&#8217;m reading Fragile Things, Bird at the Buzzer, Geno: In Pursuit of Perfection, Game of Thrones, and other stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 002: Your favorite book of the last 365 days.<\/strong><br \/>\nA toss between Mockingjay and Huntress. And probably when I finish the first book &#8212; Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 003: Your favorite book of all time.<\/strong><br \/>\nOh Lordy. Uhm. Let&#8217;s see. THG Series, LoTR Series, Silmarillion, Huntress, Harry Potter Series, and a host of other books that I&#8217;ll just keep to myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 004: A book you love that everyone else hates (or at least that no one else seems to like!)<\/strong><br \/>\nHmm. Can&#8217;t think of anything. Anita Blake? But that&#8217;s only because no one else seems to know this series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 005: A book you hate that everyone else loves\/is overhyped.<\/strong><br \/>\nHahahaha. Oh I dunno. I used to love the Bob Ong books but after so many releases I kinda got tired of him. Also, anything by Coelho. He&#8217;s too optimistic for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 006: Do you prefer series or singular novels?  Why?  What is your favorite series?<\/strong><br \/>\nSeries. The longer the story the better for me. I don&#8217;t ever want a story to end. If there could be an epilogue to the epilogue to the epilogue, the better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 007: A literary cliche you hate.<\/strong><br \/>\nLove Triangles. Goodness. Or if we actually had to have a love triangle, don&#8217;t make it equilateral. Make it an obtuse triangle &#8212; one character is actually closer to one, and the other so far but angsting LIKE A BOSS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 008: A genre you love!<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always loved fantasy. I&#8217;ve been addicted to Goodkind&#8217;s characters &#8212; not so much his prose, now that I&#8217;ve started to read George R. R. Martin &#8212; and I absolutely adore Lord of the Rings and practically everything that had to do with Middle Earth. Guy Gavriel Kay and the Fionavar Tapestries too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aside from that, I also enjoyed reading about Mafia stuff books. Puzo for the mother-frakking win.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And lastly &#8212; Y.A. There&#8217;s only too much angst you can take from fantasy and mafia books. We all need the right dose of young love and *kilig* sometimes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Y.A. + Fantasy, tho, is what I really love. No wonder I love Huntress so much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY OO9: Your favorite quote.<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.&#8221; ~ Gaiman<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 010: A character you wish had not died.<\/strong><br \/>\nRue. And Dobby. And OMG Prim. And Dumbledore. And Hedwig the Owl. And &#8212; wait I can&#8217;t remember all the characters that died in the Sword of Truth Series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 011: Two characters you wish had ended up together.<\/strong><br \/>\nNicci with someone (SoT); Harry and Luna;  Peeta Mellark with someone who deserves him; Kaede and Taisin, et cetera.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 012: If you could take any character from one novel and set them into the world of another, what would you choose?<\/strong><br \/>\nHahaha. I saw an answer to this meme earlier that made me laugh out loud &#8212; PUT BELLA IN PANEM. That would be hilarious. She&#8217;d probably just stick to the Cornocupia and get killed the moment the Games started. Or put her in either the Imperial Order Camp or D&#8217;Hara circa Wizard&#8217;s First Rule. Or maybe throw her into a Mord&#8217;Sith Temple. That should probably teach her to become a strong female character.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 013: The most agonizing cliffhanger is\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nKatniss &#8230; there is no district 12.\u00a0&amp;&amp;\u00a0Goodkind&#8217;s Phantom:<br \/>\nRichard is a captive in the Imperial Order&#8217;s main camp, without his sword or his gift; Kahlan is a captive of Jagang with a Rada&#8217;han; the Boxes of Orden are in play by Sister Ulicia; there is a problem with Chainfire and with magic; that the Imperial Order is slowly making their way into the central stronghold of the D&#8217;Haran forces: the People&#8217;s Palace, but also the D&#8217;Haran forces appear able to cut off the Imperial Order supply lines just as winter starts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 014: A book that never fails to make you actually laugh out loud.<\/strong><br \/>\nHarry Potter. I can&#8217;t think of another book right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DAY 015: A book that never fails to make you cry.<\/strong><br \/>\nMockingjay. Harry Potter. Mocking-frakking-jay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">* * *<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Part 2 tomorrow.
