1. SNOW: Choose a book/book series that you loved at the beginning but then, at the middle of it, realized you don’t like it any longer.
I wouldn't say I don't like it anymore, but I finished the Delirium series last month, and I found the ending disappointing. The first book was great, and I liked the second one enough to want to continue, but the ending was pretty lackluster.

2. SNOWFLAKE: Choose a book that stands out, that is different from all the other books you’ve read.
Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened. Unique format, and thoroughly entertaining.

A Monster Calls, one of the only books that really made me cry.

Well, I've just started Noteworthy so I wouldn't mind cuddling up with that one right now.

8. ICE: Choose a book with a truly evil or scary villain.
Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, lol!

Other than that, Kevin from We Need to Talk About Kevin was very creepy.

9. WINTER DOWN UNDER: Choose a book you think is underrated.
Enter Title Here! People get put off by the main character, but it's such a unique and brilliant YA book.

10. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: Did you set any reading goals or resolutions for the year?
Yes, quite a few! I'm doing a total of 5 reading challenges, and I have about 12 or so series that I want to finish off.

1. SNOW: Choose a book/book series that you loved at the beginning but then, at the middle of it, realized you don’t like it any longer. Vampire, Interrupted - I came across this at random in a secondhand bookstore in Seoul and became obsessed with the series. Last year I read one of the newer of the series and it’s just become too repetitive for me.

2. SNOWFLAKE. Choose a book that stands out, that is different from all the other books you’ve read.House of Leaves - such an odd book. I fell asleep reading it at the end, must’ve 50 pages to go and dreamed that I was reading the end of the book. Woke up totally convinced I’d finished it and totally freaked out.

3. SNOW BOWLING: Choose a book that made you feel some strong emotion, like anger or sadness. Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded - I didn’t expect how sad this book would be. And I think reading it as a new mother made me even sadder that Hannah’s mom didn’t do a better job of taking care of her.

4. SLEDDING: Choose a book that you loved when you were a child. Emily of New Moon - I liked all of LMM’s books, but this series I loved.

5. FROSTBITE: Choose a book that you were really disappointed in. In the Shadow of the Glacier - this is pretty terrible and it’s too bad. I liked the idea of a Canadian cozy mystery.

6. BLIZZARD: Choose a book you loved or are looking forward to reading with a white cover. The Day Before the Revolution - her death has made me want to read more of her work.

7. QUILT: Choose a book you’d like to cuddle up and read right now. Llama Llama Red Pajama - most of my reading I do by audio these days because two kids = lots of laundry to fold and messes to clean. The coziest reading I do is with my daughters.

8. ICE. Choose a book with a truly evil or scary villain. Holocaust memoirs or other true stories tend to be the most truly evil to me.

9. WINTER DOWN UNDER: Choose a book you think is underrated. Passing was amazing and I think it should be more popular.

10. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: Did you set any reading goals or resolutions for the year?

I want to Complete Book Riot, ATY (in order) and Pop Sugar with no crossover. I want to read diversely, in terms of authors/characters, genres, and geographically. I want to focus on reading a good chunk of the 1001 list.
