10 Facts about Azee
  • I was quite bossy in elementary school. Also, I was quite the defender to the victims of bullying. Go figure! xD
  • After 8 years, I still haven't finish reading The Tale of Two Cities. I finished Book One, recently! Now, I have to continue reading the Book Two. I hope it won't take me years this time. :/
  • I can understand Mandarin after hearing my friends speaking it for 3 years in high school. However, since I moved, I can't understand it all that much, but I get the gist. 
  • I climbed a mountain halfway before. I actually climbed it halfway twice. I had to go down the first time because I had to send a friend down when she couldn't make it to the top. The second time I climbed, I was huffing and puffing so much and my body was almost parallel to the ground. I decided to stop the climb and return to the base. I was disappointed that I couldn't make it to the top but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
  • Also, going down, I realised I have fear of steep heights. Hah! It's just that I can imagine myself rolling down the mountain at every step of the way. I was walking down a cleared path with nothing to hold on to if I stumbled. Needless to say, I was glad when I reached the bottom.
  • I like to read Creepypasta and honestly, I think it's not that scary. But, at night, I started to imagine things and what was not scary become creepy in the darkness of the night. 
  • I can't remember any of my dreams! 
  • One year in high school, I ate one tube of Mentos EVERYDAY.
  • I had a crushed on a teacher once. I feel so stupid when I think about it now.
  • My childhood dream was to be an astronaut. I think I'm still holding on to that dream. 
So, that's all about me. Think you know me better now? :D

Fun Book Lovers' Questionnaire!

Yay, I was tagged by Ranu from The Bookish Life!
These are some interesting questions and I had fun answering them!

1. Do you have a specific place for reading?

I don't have a special place reserved for reading. I like a place that is quiet, breezy and comfortable. That could be anywhere in my house at certain times of the day. I don't like reading outside like at a cafe, a park or something because I can easily get distracted.


2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?

I had a lot of bookmarks but somehow I always misplaced them. So, now I have one bookmark that I always use. It's a corner bookmark that is easy to make. I stumbled on a page that show how to make it sometime ago and I love it so much because it is so easy to make! But, of course, sometimes when I don't have a bookmark with me, I just use a random scrap of paper to mark a page.

3. Can you just stop anywhere in a book or do you have to finish a chapter?

It depends. Sometimes, I had to stop right where I was reading if something urgent came up. But, voluntarily, I have to finish a chapter before putting down a book. It's no fun if I had to stop in a middle of an adventure.

4. Do you read or drink while reading?

I try not to! It will be a disaster if crumbs or liquid were to spill on the book! Such horror! But, I do drink while reading. It's kind of hard to read and eat at the same time. At least, it is for me. I don't juggle things easily. Besides, it's kind of hard to eat while trying to prop open a book.
Ebooks are a different kind of game though. I eat and drink for all I'm worth while reading an ebook and feel nothing bad about it.

5. Music or tv when reading?

I find myself easily distracted when reading in front of a tv. Even commercials tend to distract me. But, over time, it just become a background noise. I am fine when listening to music while reading, depends on the song. Reading while listening to an upbeat song or a rock proved to be difficult because I will be nodding my head to the music (it's kind of hard to read when your head is moving) and even singing to the tune. So, I mostly listen to instrumental or musical songs and it doesn't distract me as much.

6. One book at a time or several?

If it is a particularly engrossing book, I wouldn't be able to put it down in the first place. But, there were cases where a book was draggy and slow-going that made me put it on hold and start reading another book. I always come back for the first book and try to finish it even if I have to juggle between reading a couple of books.

7. Reading at home or elsewhere?

I like reading at home because it is more comfortable and I can prop my legs up on the table without getting frowned upon or nasty looks thrown my way (not like it ever happen! xD). Besides, it's not like you can stay rooted on a spot for several hours in the same position without attracting concerned attention, right?


8. Read out loud or silently?

I tried reading out loud before but it took only a moment before my voice started to drone and I stopped reading out loud altogether because I couldn't really concentrate on the story if I'm reading out loud.

9. Do you read ahead or skip pages?

I do, sometimes, when a book is so boring but I still needed to know how it goes. I skim if it won't affect my understanding of the story.

10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Of course, keeping it like new! I even open my book just a crack so it won't affect the spine! My friends can't help but roll their eyes whenever I told them the rules to handling and reading my books. It includes, opening a book just a crack, just enough to see the words. xD Okay, I don't always do that to all my books. Just the new ones. The older books spine's doesn't crack even if you open it wide so I'm not worried about my older books but my new books, I take care of them like babies! xD

11. Do you write in your books?

I don't! I can't imagine why would anyone do such a thing! Such horror!

But, an author's autograph doesn't count! :D


Look at this Harry Potter book that was autographed by 24 of the cast. Not mine, sadly! D':

This Blog Was Declared Awesome!

I am excited to tell you guys that this blog had made it to the list of Top 21 Blogs for YA Book Lovers 2015. I feel so happy that this blog had received a special recognition. It's been almost a month since I've been blogging and I already met a number of book bloggers that are as awesome as they are supportive. I love that I can say anything and be overly obsess with a fandom and no other book lovers will look at me differently or roll their eyes at me like how my family usually reacts whenever I talk about my obsession. (sob!) I know I can always count on other bookworms on the net! :) I always like to meet new friends so if you think I am interesting enough and want to be friends with me, please do! I like nothing more than a good buddy to talk books with. If  you want to check out other blogs that made it to the Top 21, head on over here. Thank you to Mary from Mythology Retold Books for nominating me to be one of the Top 21!


Cheers!
