Looking for the Panacea: Reading Compatibility Test 1: How Close Are Your Favourites to Mine?

Reading Compatibility Test 1: How Close Are Your Favourites to Mine?

New feature time!

Basically, I'm going to give you a list of statements that you have to agree or disagree with. If you have any idea what book/series they're referring to, it means that you've probably read some of the books that I've read, i.e. our reading tastes are somewhat compatible. I thought it'd be more interesting doing this in quiz form than me just listing off some of the books that I enjoy. Really, this feature is going to be a series of disguised recommendation posts!

This edition is going to feature some of my favourite books.

1. You know what the Cosmere is.
2. The number 62 means something to you.
3. You want to go to Point Zero to make a wish.
4. You'd probably name your dog Fleetfoot.
5. You want to go to Prague to search for doors with black handprints.
6. Life goal: dress as a diseased lung for Halloween.
7. You will never take a tablet containing a tapeworm egg.
8. You're like a potato in a minefield.
9. Underneath the veneer of slightly crazy and mildly socially retarded, you're a complete disaster.
10. When you see a hot prince, you may need to check your fan for overheating.

Let me know how many of the statements were true about you, and whether you were able to tell which books each of the statements refers to.
Otherwise, just let me know if there are any that you're unable to answer! Maybe you'll find a new book/series to read.

1. I haven't read the book, but I do know where it comes from.
4. YES OF COURSE.
5. That would be a very nice adventure, although I hope it will not go like the books. A bit too much excitement for me.
7. No, thanks. I've seen what can happen and the idea that it's living inside of me.

Righteo now let's see:

1. You know what the Cosmere is.
uhhh no sorry....

2. The number 62 means something to you.
I'm not very good at the whole maths thing...

3. You want to go to Point Zero to make a wish.
Uhh whaaaa??

4. You'd probably name your dog Fleetfoot.
I'd probably name my dog Woofy. XD

5. You want to go to Prague to search for doors with black handprints.
Well I do like travelling... handprints? Um *gulp* sounds intimidating?

6. Life goal: dress as a diseased lung for Halloween.
I SWEAR I'VE HEARD THIS FROM SOMEWHERE!!!! Maybe a John Green book of sorts?

7. You will never take a tablet containing a tapeworm egg.
I think that's wise but no idea what book that's from!

8. You're like a potato in a minefield.
...Or this one

9. Underneath the veneer of slightly crazy and mildly socially retarded, you're a complete disaster.
....Nope. Can't say this one rings a bell

10. When you see a hot prince, you may need to check your fan for overheating.
Uhh so like Iron Fey? Red Queen? Lunar Chronicles? Tithe? The Darkest Part of the Forest? Some other faerie book?

Wow I did so badly! Or otherwise I just haven't read a lot of these which seems to be the case for me a lot at the moment. *sob* I feel so sorry right now! I'M SORRY!!! I FAILED YOUR QUIZ!!!!

1. I thought Cosmere was dressing up as nerdy characters.
2. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARNER!
3. Sounds familiar...
4. I didn't, but in all fairness I bought my dog years before reading Throne of Glass
5. I won't mention her name, or Kristy will be in here panting.
6. This one sounds familiar as well, I can't remember if it's Colleen Hoover, or John Green.
7. Eww. I haven't read it, but seen Jeann's review. And eww.
8. Well thank you, but no idea where that one is from.
9. I am, but no clue on this one either.
10. I'm guessing Cinder. Haven't read that either.

I love this Nara! So creative! I want more I tell you, MOOOOOOOOOOOORE! <3

Um so the only one I got was Fleetfoot (which by the way I 100% agree with. Definitely planning on doing that when I get a dog) although I have read some other books on this list. It's just my memory is absolute rubbish.

Also Throne of Glass oh my god... I just started the series this month and I am in love.

You only just started Throne of Glass? MY GOD YOU HAVE A LOT OF AWESOME TO LOOK FORWARD TO. Heir of Fire is my favourite of the series so far, I think! So much character development :D :D
