Feature & Follow Friday [5]

The Feature & Follow Friday meme is hosted by Parajunkee’s View and Alison Can Read. It’s a great way to make more bookish friends and get more followers on your blog. Each week you share your answer to  the question of the week and hop around a tad and follow, follow, follow. 

This week the question is…

You can only eat one cuisine type for the rest of your life. Which would you choose? (E.g. Italian, French, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, Indian etc…) – Suggested by Journey Through Fiction.

My answer:

I don't think I'd be able to live without pizza, so Italian it is! I also really love all kinds of pasta and if you have not tried Italian gelato, you're definitely missing out and need to get on that right away! 
I also love Chinese food, but I don't know if I could stand to eat it every single day. On the other hand, Mexican and Indian are out of the question for me, because my body just doesn't react well to spices :(

This week the question is…

What is the first book you remember reading? 

- Suggested by Bookish Findings

My answer:

The Little Vampire by Angele Sommer-Bodenburg is the first book I remember reading. I must have been 4 or 5 and had a friend that was a couple years older than me. She was already going to school and had her first reading assignment, while I was still in kindergarten or something like that. I learned to read when I was 4 so I couldn't wait to start going to school and read what I thought were cool books (Oh my! If I only knew then that most of my reading assignments would be so crappy...). My friend wasn't much of a reader, and I was dying to get my hands on a cool book so I told her I'd read it and then I'd  tell her what it was about. So we did that. I don't really remember what this book was about, only that it had a little human boy who became friends with a little vampire boy and that I loved it. After that, my friend and I kept our arrangement for a couple of years. My friend would give me her books as soon as their parents bought them for her and then I'd read them and we would meet so I could tell her what they were about. 

Even when I finally went to school and started getting my own reading assignments, I would still read my friend's just because her were cooler than mine.

This week the question is…

What is the last book that made you cry? Tell us about the scene...

My answer

The last book that made me cry was Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. This book was an emotional roller coaster, my emotions were all over the place the entire time I spent reading this story. If I would have to describe this book in one word it would be INTENSE. The characters are intense, the love story is intense and the background story is intense.
One of the scenes that made me cry was when (spoiler alert!) after the fight between Shep, Mare and Abby about how this insane relationship between Abby and Travis is going to break apart the other couple, Travis who overhears the conversation, takes the two girls to his apartment while Abby is trying to sleep in the other room, and then the morning after, when he goes to the market and bring a lot of things for Abby hopping it would make it all better and the she acts like it's not big deal and Travis is so desperate trying to explain himself to her and apologizing... Gosh! This whole thing broke my heart so badly. I love this book! It's so real that you can feel everything the characters are going through. If you haven't read it, you definitely should!

This is my second Feauture & Follow, so here we go :)

This week the question is…

Activity! Who do you want to be? If you could choose any character from a book. What do you think that character looks like and what do you have in common?

My answer

I would love to be Clary Fray from the Mortal Instruments series. This is one of my favorites series of all times. Who wouldn't want to be around sexy Jace? I wouldn't mind going through hell just for a chance of being with Jace. I'm strong-head and a trouble maker just like her and I share with her the interest for art and paintings. I also have a male best friend, like Clary has Simon, and I don't get along really well with other girls. So I think we have some things in common. I really feel related to her, even if she's a character from a fantasy book, because I think I understand how her mind works.  Physically, I don't think we have a lot in common, just the green eyes. I love her though, she's one of my favorite heroines.

This is my first Feature & Follow, so here we go :)

This week the question is…

Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?

My answer

I think it is really hard to find an idea on a book that is absolutely original or new. So I don't mind reading books with the same concept or some similarities, as long as they have something, whatever it is that makes them different and that allows you to fall in a new imaginary world and feel new thing through the characters.

What bugs me is when I'm reading a book -that I haven't read before- and I have some sort of deja vu feeling, like "I'm not certain but it seems like I've read this before somewhere"... Obviously the point of reading new books is finding new worlds and new situations. So, when everything in a book looks suspiciously familiar, I feel cheated. 

In short, I'm not very exigent on this topic, but I'm not too soft either. I can tell when a book is too similar to another and most of the time, I don't like it.
