‪@Sketchian-Brothership-Of-Arts‬ tagged me to answer these questions about my reading this year; kinda resembles a desert at the moment, ngl, but anyway.........

1. What was the last five star book you have read?
The Mythmakers, by John Hendrix
2. How many books have you read so far this year?
Lately I have been doing a whole lot more reading, and not a much of finishing, and since I don’t keep track of how many books I read in a year, I do know how many I have finished, which is five, however my Dad reads to my family at dinner almost every night, so I have heard listened to him read another six books I think, so I guess the total is 11.
3. How long is your physical “to be read” list?
200+ at least. I don’t keep track of how many books I haven’t read that I own, so all I have is a list of 152+ books from the library that I want to read, and I have a ton more in my room, as well as the basement that is at least hundred. xD
4. What is the worst book you have read this year?
I have no clue. All the books I have read, or that my Dad has read this year have been pretty good, if not awesome.
5. Who is one of your all time favorite characters from a book you read this year?
Huey Calloway, from a western series of books by Elmer Kelton, that my Dad has been reading us. Huey has given me and my family a lot of laughs this year XD
6. Have you read more physical books or Ebooks this year?
I don’t really like Ebooks, so its definitely physical books. The only “Ebooks” that I read are a mystery series called, The Three Investigators, that an online library has, which I really like, but I haven't been doing that lately because when I have been reading, it's with physical books.
7. What is your favorite book to movie adaptation?
The Return of the King; I absolutely adore all three movies in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but Sam’s performance in this one in particular just floors me every time, and has inspired me in more ways then I can truthfully say.
8. What is one book to movie adaptation you cannot stand?
The Rings of Power; sorry Kal, I just cannot support something that would have angered Tollers the way that series, would.
9. If you could change one thing from a favorite book this year…..what would it be?
Uh………to have more of it? I will always take more of Huey.
Have you had a new fictional crush at all this year?
Yes, two of them; first Athos from the Musketeers TV series, and then Zuko from Avatar; the last Airbender.

‪@Sketchian-Brothership-Of-Arts‬ tagged me to do this tagging game! Thank you so much guys!

1. Chocolate ice cream or vanilla ice cream?
If we are talking just plain Vanilla or chocolate, then vanilla, but adding in other things like making it triple chocolate, then totally chocolate! I am not really fond of mild chocolate flavors because they don’t taste very chocolaty to me, so instead I prefer vanilla because it's so much richer than plain chocolate. My favorite kind of chocolate ice cream though, is triple chocolate Moose tracks, which is totally better than vanilla ice-cream, so it depends on which one your talking about.

2. Thriller, action, or romance movies?
Action I guess, but I really like Thriller too.

3. Zoo or aquarium?
Both!!!!! I can’t pick, I love them both!

4. Pink or Black?
Black, because I generally don’t look good in Pink.

5. Gardening or painting?
Painting, because I kinda suck at anything requiring a green thumb, while I quite enjoy painting.

 ‪@Melissa_Tintalle‬   tagged me to make a lord of the Rings aesthetic and share it, so here ya go! "Sorry it took me so long Melissa". I'm actually a little surprised about how it turned out, especially the swan part, cause I have never shown any interest in swans on Pinterest since they are not one of my favorite animals 😂
It looks good, though, and I do like it, thought.
I also forgot to take a picture of the prompt, so this is the half photo I got, which at least works 😅

@lo_mars "sorry your tag doesn't work" tagged me to tell five facts about myself, so here we go!
I have so many interests and passions, it's difficult to demonstrate the full scope of them when people ask what I am interested in; it's like having a palette full of so many colors of paint, and having to choose just a few to paint the picture.
Psychology is a subject I am deeply interested in, and I analyze characters' personalities in books and TV shows for fun. I love to figure out what makes them tick! I also have my own sheet where I track what characters have which personality, so I can spot correlations between what I do, and don’t like in characters.
Stuffies are literally a comfort item for me. The textures against my skin, the feeling of hugging one in my arms; I cannot tell you how therapeutic and relaxing that is for me.
Whether orally or in writing, I love telling stories; fictional and real, because I can regale anyone who is interested in a unique way. I have a big imagination, so my enthusiasm for the story, fictional or not, is brought to life in my words, with vivid imagery.
The satisfaction I get from imitating characters in my favorite animated shows, or replicating accents I have heard, is un-measurable. I love quoting my favorite lines in my best imitation of the original speaker's voice, as well as singing songs with the voice of whatever character originally sang the song. It's quite obvious when I have been engaged in reading/watching something about people speaking with British or Irish accents, because I unknowingly start copying them in my own speech. And then have a hard time using my own accent for a while.

All right, guys, here it is!
Thank you so much to all who suggested characters, especially Sketcher and Ossie, who suggested an astounding nine different characters!
Looking at this interesting collection of characters across quite the span of genres, their are several amusing observations that I just had to point out;

First of all, how did Edmund end of being the only boy on this list? 🤣
Secondly, I find it to be an interesting idea that I am the living combination of Susan, Lucy, and Edmund, while being the oldest sibling like Peter 🤣
How on earth does someone who isn't an archer manage to be like five different archers??????
On top of that, their are a total of at least eight different warriors on here, as well as a pacifist!
The characters, Lily, Meg, Kendra, and Jane, I do not know, so now I really want to read the books they come from! I also have not seen Brave, so I don't really know, Mirada, either.
Thank you all again! This picture is so much fun looking at! 😆🥰
