I was nominated by the lovely Medha of @coffeeandmusings (www.coffeeandmusings.com) to do this survey for the #bookqanda tag. It’s harder than it looks to pick a favorite!

Favorite genre: Easy! Gothic Horror! I’ve recently been reading more of the classics, but I love any gothic mystery whose plot moves between the past and the present.

Jenny Han or Stephanie Perkins: I honestly haven’t read either. BUT that just means that I have 2 new authors to check out! New books to discover = yayness!

Favorite Summer read: the Michael Flint/Nell West series by Sarah Rayne

Favorite setting: the cliffs of Cornwall!

Most relatable character: Nuria Montfort’s love life in The Shadow of the Wind

Bad Boy v. Funny Boy: Funny boy. Definitely. There’s always a draw to the sexiness of a bad boy, but if he doesn’t have a sense of humor, I’ll get bored with him.

Must read: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Marry, Kiss, Kill: Marry: Michael Flint, from the Michael Flint/Nell West gothic mystery series by Sarah Rayne. Kiss: Julian Carax, from The Shadow of the Wind. Kill: Every character in The Eaton by John K. Addis and then set the book on fire.
