TMST #33: Regarding Fictional Characters

 

Hello All !

Today's topic for TMST: Which fictional character do you wish were a real person?

There are actually two characters I wish were real and the are Batman and Wonder Woman. I think the world would be a better place if there Wonder Woman actually existed. And Batman? I mean, come on .... Batman. Most likely if those two existed then each of the villains would exist as well.

TMST #31: Satisfaction

 It's been a while since I posted for this meme. So, here is this week's topic:

Are you satisfied with your blog?

"Satisfied" maybe too strong of a word for me. 

I started in the middle of 2016 and completely expected to just abandon the whole thing . I am, of course, happy that wasn't the case. I'll just go with I am enjoying the process/journey.

TMST #29: Favorite Blogs

Hello All !

This week's topic: 

How do you keep up with your favorite blogs?

My Answer: 

If it is a "Google Blogger" blog, I press the 'follow button'. With other, I either follow through Bloglovin (which I was just recently reminded of), or I use the email option.

TMST #28: Hobbies During the Pandemic

 

Hello All 

This topic I was looking forward to answering. I am also happy that I don't have to combine it with other topics.

This week's question/topic: Have you kept any hobbies that you started during the pandemic?

That is when I started with fluid painting. My first attempts were really ( how do I put this) not good. The biggest issue I had with it was the& consistency of the paint. I still have a problem with consistency. Only now it is with the result. I use the same tools, but I can't seem to get a one piece remotely to others.

For some of my fluidart pieces, search @sea_rose_touk_art on Instagram and for others pieces check out my Deviant Art page.

*** Until Next week....

TMST #27: June 2024 Tells

Hello All !

Except for the 11th, each answer is a short one. So I just decided to combine the topics. 

 6/4: What outdoor activities do you like to do in the spring/summer?

I mostly enjoy barbecues and bonfires. I would say going to the beach, but that is rare.

6/11: Have your reading interests changed over time?

In elementary school, I liked to read Babysitters Club books and Goosebumps. During Highschool, I didn't like to read unless I Had had no choice. Now, I like to read romance novels. So I guess the short answer would be  ..... "No" ? 😁 

6/25: Mid-Year Check-In: What books have you loved so far in 2024?)

I am kind of being picky about what I add to my favorites. So far, I don't have any favorites this year. If you would like to see what books are on my favorite shelf ---- > Goodreads Favorites

Until next time....

TMST #25: Travels

 Hello. Here is my "tell"  for this week. 

The topic/question is Where would you like to travel?

I would like to travel to Ireland. First Dublin because it is the national capital , and then where ever my ancestors are from. Unfortunately, I have yet to discover where that would be. As for a more realistic answer, I would like to travel the Continental United States.

TMST #24: January 2024 Tells

Hello.

There were only two "Tell Me"s that I want to answer for this month. I decided to wait until the last Tuesday to do so.

 1/16 = Besides reading, what are some of your favorite hobbies?

Photography, and Fluidart (@sea_rose_touk_art on Instagram) 

1/23 = Is it easier or harder to write a review for a book you loved?

Really a review is only someone's opinion. "Did you like like the book? Why or why not?" 

So the level of difficulty is the same either way.

TMST #23: August Tells

 

8/8 = Which book world would you like to visit (real and/or fictional)?

This was probably a common answer, but I have to go with Hogwarts.

At the start of one of the movies, there seemed to be an Olympic-ish Quidditch competition between the nations. This said to me that in this fantasy world, there was an American version of Hogwarts.

8/15 = Do you DNF books? When do you decide to stop?

So far, I do not have a DNF shelf. For the one book that I considered for a DNF shelf, I just ended up finishing it. After I decided not to read any more books from that particular series.

TMST #22: Combined Topics 5

 Hello All!

I missed last week's tell, so I just thought I would do a combined topic post. 

Last week's topic: How long do you stick with a series you loved, if you start not enjoying the books? 

I haven't really reached/hit a point like that yet. I was more along the lines of " Not my favorite but still good".

This week's topic: What were your expectations when you started blogging? 

It was not my intention to have this blog be strictly about books. That's why I didn't try to come up with a "bookish" name for my blog. 

I really didn't have many expectations. In fact, I was certain I would just forget about the blog altogether.

That's it for now.

TMST #21: Different Genre, Same Author

 

Hello All !

This week's Tell: Would you read a book by your favourite author if it isn't in a genre you normally enjoy?

I would read a book by a favorite author depending on the blurb. The blurb is often how I choose a book to read.

Until next time....

TMST #20: January 2023 Tells

 

Hello. I just thought that I would combine the January prompts (that I have answers for) in to one post.

- 3rd = What are your blogging/reading goals for the new year?

As far as reading goes, I am doing the Goodreads 2023 challenge. My goal is 36 books. I hope that those 36 will include the books on my Goodreads to-be-read list. As for blogging, I just hope to post more entries.

- 17th = Do you tend to enjoy spin off series? Or are you hesitant about them? 

There was one spin off series that I read and I wasn't hesitant about reading it. I enjoyed the books of the series.

Until February....

TMST #18: Combine Topics 4

 

Hello all.

I have missed the 12th's topic and I had planned on answering it. So I am combining it with this week's topic.

7/12 = Do you read graphic novels? Why or why not?

While I was going up graphic novels never appealed to me. I was more into video games. When Batman games were created I would play them. From that I got into the movies, then the cartoon series. Eventually I got into fan fiction, which finally led to graphic novels. So yes, I read graphic novels. It is just an escape for me.

As for this week's question: Do you prefer movies or TV series?

I think I prefer TV series.

That's it for now.

Until next time...

TMST #16: Combine Topics 2

 

I missed the April 26th top so I decided to combine it with this week's topic

April 26th = Do you still own any books/comics/toys/memorabilia from when you were a kid?

I wasn't into comic books as a kid. When I saw that comic books of my favorite childhood cartoon existed, I bought every one I could.

This week's topic = How long have you been blogging? And has your blog changed over time?

I had my blog since June of 2016. Other than adding weekly meme posts, I don't believe it has changed.

TMST #15: Combine Topics

 

Hello All! I decided to combine a few topics this week.

 March 22nd = How do you choose what to read next?

First I start with any arcs (advanced reader copies). After that I just try to pick something from my TBR list.

March 29th = Do you leave blog comments? Do you respond to comments left on your blog?

The answer for both is sometimes.

April 12th = What book has been sitting on your TBR pile the longest?

It is actually a three way tie. To Read

This week's topic: How did you choose your blogging platform?

 I guess I just went with what seemed more

 user-friendly.

Until Next Time......

Hello All ! 

I missed the topic for last week. So I thought I would just and it to this week's Tell Me Something Tuesday. The topic was 'Blogging: Hardest Part'. At first I was going to say that it is only a matter of not procrastinating. After having issues my last two blog posts, I had to change my answer to posting using a smart phone.

This week's topic is reading challenges in 2022. If I participate in any, it will only be the Goodreads Challenge.

Untill next time.....
