Virtuosity of Rising Starlet.

QUESTION 22: Based on your current read (you as the main character) what just happened to you? #NANA. I'll just answer based on the book I just read. What happened to me? Oh guess I'm just going to take up the physics major in Imperial University to become one of Manabu Yukawa's students. (I'm a big fan of his!).

QUESTION 20: Based on your current read, where are you now? #NANA. I don't know, I haven't started a new book yet. I just finished reading Devotion of Suspect X tonight, and perhaps, I'll start reading Yellowface by R. F Kuang in the morning!

QUESTION 20: Tell us some of your wishlist #NANA. Wishlist! I just want to own the physical books of A Song of Ice and Fire series even though I'm pretty sure that I'll read their e-books. I just think that it's a satisfaction in itself when I owned the entire volume of the series! I feel like I accomplished something then.

QUESTION 19: Tell us about a book that exceeded your expectations. #NANA. Frankenstein by Marry Shelley! At first I thought that this book would be a grotesque one and more science. But, no! There's a touch of art, and even, poetry inside of it too. It's deeper than I had first imagined of the book. I thought the contents of this book would mostly talk about The Creation (Frankenstein) but it's more to that! I love this book so much, one of the classical books that I am fond of! 🤍

QUESTION 18: Thoughts on The Twilight Saga lmao. #NANA. No thought, head empty. Ha-ha! I didn't read nor watch this series, to be honest. I have no idea about them at all. But I do remember how BookTuber always recommend these books to their viewers. It's pretty annoying and tiresome to have this book mentioned EVERYWHERE. 😭

QUESTION 17: PJO/Wizarding World. 😏 #NANA. PERCY JACKSON WORLD, OF COURSE! Please Mother Aphrodite, let me be your demigod so that I can be Piper McLean's siblings. 🥺❤️

QUESTION 16: Name that misunderstood/underrated character you love. #NANA. Kaladin Stormblessed is so unbelievably underrated... Despite his amazing character building, I don't think that people these days are into high-fantasy that makes him not a well-known character by many readers. And as for the most misunderstood character, I think that will be Tyrion Lannister. He's one of my favorite characters in the Game of Thrones that not many people are fond of.

QUESTION 15: Ebooks/Physical books #NANA. I'm an e-reader myself so, of course, I'm more into looking at the screen when I'm reading. Reading e-book is faster than reading the physical one for me. Because I don't have to tire myself to hold the book and find a better lightning to read. Physical books are so costly, too, whilst e-books are way cheaper. Not forgetting that reading on the screen offers a more comfortable way now, they have this feature to make the screen look warmer in our eyes. You can read the book everywhere and anywhere without having to trouble yourself to carry a heavy tome. I can literally list the advantages of reading e-books, for real!

QUESTION 14: How many is your tbr right now. 🫵🏻 #NANA. There you go! I also have books in my Kindle that I haven't put into my To-Be-Read list here. But so far, these are the books that I want to read and will be read in the near future.

QUESTION 13: Who should portray your favorite character on screen #NANA. Ah, I'm bad at fan casting... I can't think of any faces when I read a book because I like to picture them more in my head and I certainly no living human will be looking as perfect as the one I had in my mind. So, this is going to be my first drink! Ha-ha! 🍷

QUESTION 12: What movie/series adaptation from books you like the most #NANA. I never am a movie kind of person, actually! I rarely watch anything when I already read the book. But I'm pretty sure that I like The Divergent series even though there are some subtle differences between what's written in the book with what the movie has. The Maze Runner is okay, too. The rest is.. I don't even remember liking anything in particular. However, some told me that Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa is exactly like the book. I have read that, and I'll definitely watch the movie!

QUESTION 11: Tell us your go-to books recommendations #NANA. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO READ KEIGO HIGASHINO'S WORKS. 😭 Believe me, it's easy to read despite the complexity of the story. I love how Keigo sensei has the capability to explain something so difficult in a more easier way, so the readers can comprehend them without so much thinking. If you're into high-fantasy, then please read the Stormlight Archive series, but please bear with the thickness of each book. And for you, cat lovers, I advise you to read The Guest Cat and If Cat Disappear from the World! Both of them are so heart-warming, you'll love to read them in your leisure time!

QUESTION 10: Tell us about the first fiction/nonfiction book you read, if you don't remember then that book you read long long time ago. #NANA. The first book series that I read were mostly middle grade books like Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Harry Potter, The Maze Runner, The Divergent... Typically a basic book that readers usually choose at that time.

QUESTION 9: Which universe you'd like to live in for some time in your life. #NANA. Whatever universe in Keigo Higashino's books, really! Especially The Miracles of Namiya's General Store! I would love to live in that universe. Maybe I'm just so fond of the magical realism type of genre.

QUESION 8: If the author lets you do anything you want to your most hated character, what scenario would you create for them. #NANA. I don't know... They can make them disappear or just change the way they think, behave, and act will do too!

QUESTION 7: Tell us your most hated character and why #NANA. That couple from Normal People by Sally Rooney. Don't come to me, I just don't like both of them. T__T I also don't like Yasuko Hanaoka from Devotion of Suspect X. 😔

QUESTION 6: Tell us your most favorite scene about your ship. #NANA. To me, the most memorable and favorite scene from my favorite ship is how they first met! I remembered Vin disguised herself as Lady Valette Renoux which attends a noble ball at Keep Venture to gather information for Kelsier's crew. As she came to the ballroom filled with aristocrats with it's noble society, she catches the eye of Elend Venture—a young nobleman who seems different from the others. Elend approaches Vin and engages her in a conversation that surprises her with its honesty and depth. Their conversation remains vivid in me, but I remembered being so hooked to their exchange arguments! Elend eventually falls in love with Vin because of her character that I found so lovely and intriguing. 🥺❤️

QUESTION 5: Tell us your favorite ship and their quote/quote about them #NANA. VIN AND ELEND FROM MISTBRON SERIES, NO DOUBT! I love them because of their compelling growth both as individuals and as a couple. Vin's transformation from a street urchin to a powerful Mistborn, coupled with Elend's evolution from a naive nobleman to a capable leader, to me both of them creates a dynamic relationship that is both inspiring and heartwarming. Their partnership is built on mutual respect, trust, and the willingness to challenge each other, which makes their journey together all the more captivating. Their love story is not just about romance but also about personal growth and overcoming the odds together, which is why they resonate so deeply with me. The quote: "I used to think love was about finding the right person. But it’s not. It’s about being the right person.” — Mistborn: The Well of Ascension

QUESTION 4: Tell us that one scene that stuck in your brain for weeks or months. #NANA. Oh no, my memory is being tested right now. Ha-ha! I remembered reading one of Franz Kafka's books, The Metamorphosis, and it stucked in my mind like a tumor because how unusual an approach he was using to emphasize the means that he's trying to convey to his readers. Like, his way of seeing life was so extraordinary that I couldn't even comprehend how he can come up with turning a human being to be an insect?! And Gregory Samsa didn't question the weird and unexplained mysteries of his transformation. Perhaps, I'm more into a 'reasonable' reader who seeks the whys instead of calling it how it is and that's that.
